How To Apply for Philippine National ID / PhilSys — Starting September 2019, Filipinos can start applying for their own PhilSys ID.
Through the Republic Ac No. 11055 also known as the “Philippine Identification System Act” signed by our President Rodrigo Duterte on August 2018, every Filipino will be issued its first national identification card.
The main goal of the Philippine National ID is for the safety and better privacy, efficiency, reduced corruption and a simplified system for the Filipinos. Currently and still in practice, there were numerous sets of identification process being practice accross the coutry. A good example of this is the NBI Clearance.
Philippines remained one of the few countries in the world with no National ID system.
