How to access your Philippine Digital National ID

If you still don’t have your physical National ID, don’t worry. You can now access its digital version!

It was made possible by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). The Digital National ID and cool identification tools like National ID eVerify and National ID Check are now available.

Filipinos can get better banking, social, health, education, and other government services with this Digital National ID. This is also a valid form of ID for both public and private activities.

Filipino people can keep their National ID for life once they get it. You only need to refresh it when your information changes. For resident aliens, their ID only works for one year and needs to be updated every year.

PSA Undersecretary Claire Dennis S. Mapa, PhD, says that now every registered Filipino has a safe and reliable form of ID that can be checked on their phones.

How to Authenticate a Digital ID

Government agencies, private employers, and other organizations can use the National ID eVerify to quickly and safely authenticate a person’s identity. It uses facial recognition to match a person’s face with the photo in the National ID registry, making onboarding processes smoother and preventing fraud.

There’s also a feature called National ID Check within National ID eVerify. You can use it to scan a National ID’s QR code and quickly confirm if it’s legit.
