Registration of children aged 0-4

For January, the registration team successfully registered 246 children under the age of five into the National ID System. A significant portion of these registrations occurred during mobile registrations held at Child Development Centers (CDC) and mobile registrations to the barangays across the province. 

To facilitate the registration process, the team actively encouraged and assisted parents who have not registered to the National ID System yet to complete their registration first. Parents must be registered to the National ID System before registering their children as the National ID Card number is crucial in the registration process of children below 5 years old. For parents and guardians who have registered already but do not have their National ID yet, the registration team encourages these individuals to request for a copy of their national ID in paper form or generate their Digital National ID.

Once the child is registered to the National ID System, his/her National ID Number is linked to the parent’s or guardian’s record. This link remains in place until the child turns five, at which point they will need to undergo an updating process.
