Application for Registration. - The sworn application for registration shall contain three (3) specimens of the applicant's signature, clear and legible prints of all his fingers, and his passport or identification photograph which shall be at the expense of the government if the applicant should so request. Said specimens of applicant's signature, legible prints of his fingers and passport or identification photographs are indispensable requisites of a valid application.
In the event an application is approved notwithstanding the lack of any of the foregoing requisites, the applicant shall be required by the board to comply with the same by furnishing the required number of specimen signatures, presenting the required photographs or allowing himself to be photographed at government expense, or allowing clear and legible fingerprints to be taken of him, as the case may be. His unjustified refusal to comply as requested shall be a ground for his exclusion from the permanent list of voters under Section one hundred thirty-seven hereof.
It shall be the duty and responsibility of the members of the registration board and the members of the board of inspectors before acting on any application for registration to see to it that said application contains the three (3) specimens of the applicant's signature and that the prints of all his fingers and identification photograph are properly affixed so that the same could be used as basis for the identification of the voter.
Said application shall also contain the following:
(a) Name, surname and middle and/or maternal surname;
(b) Place of birth;
(c) Date of birth;
(d) Philippine citizenship;
(e) Civil status; if married, the surname of the spouse;
(f) Profession, occupation or work;
(g) Exact address with the name of the street, the house number or in case there be none, a brief description of the locality and place;
(h) That he possesses the qualifications required of a voter;
(i) That he is not disqualified to vote;
(j) That he is not registered nor has he applied for registration in any other precinct, otherwise, he shall state the precinct in which he previously registered or applied for registration and attach thereto his sworn application for the cancellation of such previous registration;
(k) Space for the voting record of the person registered thereon;
(l) Such other information or data which the Commission may require.
Provided, That no person who applies for registration before the board of inspectors shall be registered unless at the time he files his application he submits to the board four identical copies of his most recent photograph.
