A Certificate of Indigency is a crucial document issued by your local Barangay Hall certifying that you are a low-income resident with limited financial means. This document is frequently required when applying for scholarships, social welfare assistance at the CSWDO, or financial aid from the Taguig Medical Assistance Office (MAO).

Securing this certificate is one of the fastest administrative processes in your local neighborhood. Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to get it done.


What Information is Required?

When you fill out the application form at your Barangay Hall, you will need to provide the following details:

  • Full Legal Name (of the applicant and/or the patient if applying for medical reasons)
  • Birthdate
  • Age and Gender
  • Complete Taguig Address
  • Length of Residency (How many months or years you have lived in that specific barangay)

Other Institutional Details: This includes your Religion, Nationality, and a reliable Emergency Contact Person.


Step-by-Step Process

Since Taguig has a fully operational satellite network in every neighborhood, you do not need to go to the main City Hall for this particular document.


Step 1: Visit Your Local Barangay Hall

Go directly to the Barangay Hall that has jurisdiction over your exact residential address. Ensure you bring at least one valid ID showing your current address or a recent utility bill to prove your residency in that neighborhood.


Step 2: Request the Application Form

Locate the Help Desk or the designated Public Assistance Counter. Let the staff know that you are applying for a Certificate of Indigency, and they will hand you the official application form to fill out.



Step 3: Complete and Submit the Form

Carefully write down all your personal details, length of residency, and emergency contact information. Once completed, submit the form back to the counter officer.


Step 4: Wait for Processing and Release

The barangay clerk will encode your information and verify your records. In most barangays across Taguig, the verification is straightforward, and you will be issued your printed and signed Certificate of Indigency within just a few minutes.


Reminders

While some barangays issue the Certificate of Indigency completely free of charge for medical or social welfare aid purposes, others might charge a nominal documentary stamp or processing fee (usually around ₱20 to ₱50). It is best to have loose change on hand just in case.
