The government announced last year about the implementation of the new Philippine National ID System.

Many Filipinos were curious about the new ID system. This ID system combines all the ID cards issued by the government into one, which is called the PhilID or the PhilSys ID. That’s why they are looking forward to when and where they can get one.

Apparently, you can register for the National ID once it becomes available in September. Before applying for your National ID, it’s important to know the basic details that you need to provide.
President Rodrigo Duterte had mandated the PSA to implement the National ID bill.

According to RA 11055, all Filipino citizens or resident alien must register for the new ID system. With this, relevant information that will be collected includes the following:

Full name
Date of birth
Place of birth
Sex
Address
Permanent residence
Present address (optional)
Blood type
Marital status (optional)
Filipino or resident alien
e-mail address (optional)
mobile number (optional)

The Philippine Identification System Act has registration centers that have the facilities to capture the information required to be enclosed in the registry to collect the information and encode it in the registry are the following:
