What to do if you don’t have any of the IDs accepted

We only accept the IDs listed in this article above. If you don't have any of these, we recommend registering for a National ID. Visit the PSA's official website for registration centers and required documents.

If you've applied for a National ID but haven't received your physical or paper National ID, you can download your Digital National ID via the PSA website or the eGov PH app.
