This initiative enables the government to effectively track and identify all citizens while also serving as a proactive measure to improve children’s access to essential government programs.

Throughout the event, PSA registered 34 individuals for the National ID and issued 23 National IDs in paper form. The most common transactions included demographic information updates, TRN retrievals, replacements of peeled-off photos on National ID cards, and assistance with accessing the digital National ID.

The National Identification System aims to provide a seamless, secure, and universally accepted identification system for every Filipino, reinforcing the country’s drive toward digital transformation and inclusive development.
