Greetings!

I am a student from Treston International College in Taguig City, Metro Manila. We are conducting a study in which we will be needing the identification and certification of sample of two plants—Emilia sonchifolia and Galinsogra parviflora. I would like to inquire about the process for identification, and certification. 

My following questions are: 
1. What would be the processes to have our plants verified?
2. Where can I have my plant verified—through online or do I have to personally go to the Bureau of Industry office?
3. What are the requirements?

Thank you!

We are planning to have our plants identified through online. May I just clarify, how should I take a picture of my plant with a coupon bond? And what is a coupon bond in the first place? Thank you and have a nice day!
