The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has announced that fees will be applicable for requests involving the delivery of CSC records and documents through courier services.

In accordance with CSC Resolution No. 2200662 titled “Prescribing the Fee for the Delivery of Requested Civil Service Commission Records/Documents through Courier Service,” which was promulgated on 13 December 2022 and published in The Philippine Star on 7 August 2023, the CSC has decided to procure the services of a courier company to address the need for an efficient, timely, and secured delivery of requested CSC records and documents.

“Currently, CSC personnel have to personally carry all mails for delivery to the nearest branch of a courier service. Further, the office has no means to verify the status of delivery of the requested documents. Securing the services of a courier company will ensure faster and secured delivery of CSC records/documents requested by stakeholders. This will also enable the CSC to track the delivery of the requested CSC documents in real time,” explained CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles.
