The online registration for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) has begun, and you can apply in three simple steps. These are:
Step 1: Input your personal information in the PSA’s online national ID registration portal. This information includes things like: Full name, Sex, Date and place of birth, address.
Optional information such as marital status, phone number, and email address will be collected as well.
Following the entry of these details, schedule an appointment at the nearest physical registration center for the second step.
Step 2: During your appointment, biometric information such as your fingerprint, iris scan, and photograph will be collected in the registration center.
The supporting documents will be validated on-site as well.
Reminder: Gather all required documents and bring them to your appointment.
Step 3: Issuance of the PhilSys Number (PSN) and PhilID.
“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.” said PSA in an online post.
