Please provide the need for the procedure. e.g. Birth Certificate - why do we need to have a birth certificate? 
 

Because of what's happened in the country because of COVID 19 a lot of businesses in the city were forced to shut down. Business owners are advised to formally file an application to retire or close their business. Stopping operation does not automatically terminate a business registration. As far as the Business Permit and Licensing Office of the local city government is concerned, the business is still in operation and it's license/permit valid. A license is required to be renewed annually, that's the reason why business owners must officially retire a business in order to avoid any tax liabilities or penalties in the future.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
