In 2018, President Rodrigo Duterte<\/strong> signed the\u00a0Republic Act 11055<\/b>, or the\u00a0Philippine Identification System Act<\/b> that aims to establish a single national ID for all Filipinos and resident aliens.<\/p>\n

The national ID<\/strong> aims to boost efficiency, especially in dealing with government services where people will only need to present it during transactions.\u00a0 Today, we’re showing you the step-by-step process on how to apply for a national ID.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 1\u00a0 ONLINE REGISTRATION AND SETTING APPOINTMENT\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

FOR HOUSE-TO-HOUSE REGISTRANTS<\/strong>: There is no need to go online to register and book an appointment. Please wait for the SMS from PSA and updates from your local government units (LGUs) for your Step 2 registration schedule.<\/p>\n


\nSTEP 1.1\u00a0<\/strong> Online registration is the first step of the process. The information must be filled up through this link.\u00a0<\/a> \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n


\nSTEP 1.2\u00a0 <\/strong>Fill the necessary information correctly. Note that providing false information to PhilSys is punishable by law with a penalty of three (3) to six (6) years imprisonment and a fine of 1 to 2 million pesos in accordance with Section 19 of Republic Act No. 11055 or the PhilSys Act.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 1.3\u00a0 <\/strong>After registering online, an alert note will appear on your screen. It will automatically check the nearest available registration center near your address. Currently, there only 14 municipalities<\/strong> open for online booking since May 24, 2021. However, announcements will be made via the PhilSys Facebook<\/a> page for the opening of more municipalities for appointment scheduling in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

STEP 1.4\u00a0<\/strong> Save your application as you wait for the nearest center to be available in your area and make sure every information is correct. Please take note that the email address and phone number registered are very important so you can receive updates on your national ID.<\/p>\n

STEP 2 VALIDATION OF INFORMATION\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In any case, you can proceed on Step 2 if there’s an available registration center near you. The validation process requires supporting documents. Also, always wear your face mask and face shield, and observe social distancing in the registration area. Bring your own pen and alcohol or hand sanitizer. Wear proper clothing and avoid wearing shorts, sleeveless, etc. Step 2 registration includes the recording of your biometrics such as fingerprint, iris scan, and headshot. And most importantly, keep your transaction slip.<\/p>\n
