Need Help?

For urgent help, call the hotlines listed on our emergency hotlines page.

Note: the Help Assistant is not an emergency-response service — call the hotline directly for emergencies.

Hospitals and clinics with their phone numbers and map directions are listed under Health Access on the hotlines page. Tap Directions on any entry to open it in Google Maps.

Call the Bureau of Fire Protection or the police hotline immediately — the numbers are on the emergency hotlines page. Give your exact location (barangay and landmark) and stay on the line until help confirms it is on the way.

The Municipal Hall handles civil registry (birth, marriage, and death certificates), business permits, social welfare programs, health services, real property tax, and more. Each service has its own office — see the directory of offices and department heads to find the right one for your concern.

The Municipal Hall is at Quezon St., Maniki (Poblacion), Kapalong, Davao del Norte, 8113. For directions, see the hotlines page or call (084) 807 0004.

Civil registry documents such as birth, marriage, and death certificates are handled by the Municipal Civil Registrar's office. Bring a valid ID and any supporting documents for your request — the office will confirm the exact requirements and fees for your document.

Downloadable forms and official documents are on the downloads page. Use the search or the category list to find the form you need.

Bring at least one government-issued ID with your photo and signature (for example: driver's license, passport, UMID, voter's ID, or postal ID). Some services ask for a second ID or supporting documents — check with the office handling your application before you go.

Walk-ins are generally accepted during office hours. For large requests or time-sensitive documents, call ahead at (084) 807 0004 so the office can prepare for your visit.

The department heads directory lists every municipal office and its head. If you are unsure, call the Municipal Hall at (084) 807 0004 and you will be directed to the right office.

The main number is (084) 807 0004. For emergencies, use the dedicated numbers on the emergency hotlines page instead.

The department heads page lists all offices with their current heads and organization charts.

Business permits are handled by the Business Permit and Licensing Section of the Municipal Hall. Visit their office with your requirements, or check the LEDIPO page for business and investment guidance.

Typical requirements for a new permit include a filled-out application form, proof of business address (lease contract or land title), barangay clearance, and a valid ID. Requirements can change, so confirm the current checklist and fees with the Business Permit and Licensing Section before you apply.

Business permits are renewed every January. Bring your previous year's permit and official receipts to the Business Permit and Licensing Section. Renewing after the January window carries penalties, so renew early.
