On Friday, April 30, the Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA) opened online registration for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).
Filipinos must apply for PhilSys in “three simple steps”, according to PSA.
These are the 3 Steps:
Step 1: Applicants must register their demographic information in PSA’s online portal for national ID registration. This includes information such as:
- Full name
- Sex
- Date and place of birth
- Blood type
- Address
Optional information like marital status, mobile number, and email address will also be collected.
After inputting these details, applicants can set an appointment in the nearest physical registration center for the second step.
Reminder: Prepare the required documents and bring them when you attend your appointment.
Step 2: Biometric information, including fingerprint, iris scan, and photograph, will be taken in the registration center during your appointment.
The supporting documents will also be validated on-site.
Step 3: Issuance of the PhilSys Number (PSN) and PhilID.
“Ang inyong PSN at PhilID ay ide-deliver ng PHLPost sa inyong tahanan! Paalala lamang po na huwag i-post sa social media ang inyong PhilID dahil ito ay naglalaman ng inyong personal na impormasyon,” said PSA in an online post.
(Your PSN and PhilID will be delivered to your address by PHLPost. Refrain from posting your PhilID on social media as it contains personal information.)
Where are the physical registration centers?
The PSA explained that it would set up fixed and mobile registration centers in strategic locations.
“Currently, PSA is in coordination with LGUs, government agencies, and private sector to determine these locations,” the central statistical authority said on its website.
“Further updates on the exact locations of registration centers will be released prior to the opening of PhilSys registration,” it added.
