The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) informs the public that National ID registration is now open to children below 1 year old.

We underscore that the parent or guardian must already be registered to the National ID system, as the child's National ID Number will be linked to their National ID Number.

If parents or guardians still need to register for the National ID, they may register together with their child in any PSA registration center and colocation sites. 

The registered parent or guardian must accompany their child below 1 year old during registration and present any of the following supporting documents:

• Certificate of Live Birth issued by the PSA or the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO).
• Report of Birth issued by the PSA or Philippine Foreign Service Post (PFSP).
• Certificate of Foundling issued by the PSA. 
• Certificate of Foundling or Certificate of Live Birth or Persons with No Known Parent/s issued by the PSA.
• Municipal Form No. 102 issued by the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO).
• Philippine Passport or ePassport issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
• Any document showing the full name of the child, date and place of birth, the full name of the mother, and the full name of the father, if acknowledged.

Only the demographic information and front-facing photograph of the child shall be captured. The complete biometric information, including fingerprints, iris scan, and updated front-facing photograph, shall be collected when the child reaches the age of 5.

For more information, visit any of the official channels of the National ID system: (1) Facebook at facebook.com/PSAPhilSysOfficial; (2) X (formerly Twitter) via @PSAPhilSys; (3) Viber Community at PSA: Philippine Identification System.
