Now that the Philippine Identification System Act (RA No. 11055) is in place, it's time we finally registered and applied for a national ID. Thankfully, the process is not difficult. You can register online and there are no fees involved. The national ID system serves as a central identification platform for Filipinos. It is a proof of identity, which can be used in various transactions that need it, for both the government and the private sector. You can, for example, use it as a primary ID when applying for a bank account. In this post, we're going to show you how you can apply for your PhilSys National ID. Let's go.
