WITH the recent partnership between SM Department Store and National Statistics Office, copies of civil registry documents are now accessible at the SM Business Centers. The centers can facilitate the application, processing, and releasing of copies of birth, death, marriage certificates, copies of No Record of Marriage, annotated and endorsed documents.

The partnership was formalized in a memorandum of agreement signed between NSO administrator Carmelita Ericta and director Lourdes Hufana and SM Retail senior vice president for controllership Ricky Lim and assistant vice president for business center operations Dennis Yaw at the Prestige Lounge of SM Cubao.

SM Business Centers, located at almost all SM Supermalls, also offer other services such as foreign exchange, BDO Remit, bills payment and acceptance of SSS and Pag-IBIG contributions. Newly-opened SM Business Centers are located at the SM Cubao Department Store and at the Upper Ground Level of SM Manila.
