April 30, 2021— Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) launched the online registration for Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).
Are you struggling to go inside the malls because you look young and don’t have a valid ID? Do you also struggle from getting valid IDs because you don’t have a valid ID? Lastly, are you tired of the exhausting process of getting valid ID in person? Then this article is for you!
PSA says that applicants will only have to go through “three easy steps” to apply for PhilSys or National ID, valid ID. So if you are still not verified in your GCASH account or if you don’t have a valid ID, follow these three-easy-steps.

And these steps are as follows:
1. Register your demographic information to PSA’s online portal for national ID registration. The information includes:
Full name
Sex
Date and place of birth
Blood type
Address
As well as the optional information like marital status, mobile number, and email address is included.
After registering, you’re close to having a valid ID, so go to the nearest physical registration center, set an appointment and proceed to the second step.
Take Note: Do not forget to prepare and bring all the requested documents to be passed in the registration centers.
2. Biometric Information will be taken from the registration centers.
The biometric information is your fingerprint, iris scan, and photograph. All of these will be taken from your appointment in the registration center.
The supporting documents will also be validated on site.
3. Issuance of the PhilSys Number (PSN) and PhilID.
Your newly processed Philippine or National ID will be delivered at your doorsteps. Just a reminder from PSA, don’t post your PhilID on social media for it carries your personal information.
And there you have it! As easy as 1-2-3, you have your own valid ID to get validated in GCASH or even be able to go out to do important things without being questioned how old you are. For more information, you can visit the Facebook page PSA Philippine Identification System. (https://www.facebook.com/PSAPhilSysOfficial/)
Just remember to go out when needed and if you’ll do something important. This new way of applying for national ID is to give an accessible way for everyone to get their IDs without the fear of falling into long lines and getting contacted with the virus.
We all want an easier and safer way, let us also help our country prevent the virus from spreading by staying safe and only going out when needed.
Happy registration!
