Public Advisory

This Advisory is being issued to clarify provisions of the earlier disseminated Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Advisory dated 23 August 2021, specifically: “...the PSA acknowledges that there will be challenges and inertia as service providers transition from traditional practice to the digital method of identity verification enabled by the PhilSys… [thus] while the QR code, biometric, and SMS OTP authentication methods are yet to be fully operational, service providers or individual staff may still consider doing traditional methods of identity verification and may inadvertently request an ID with a handwritten signature. However, service providers can immediately begin using the physical security features, which are superior to a handwritten signature, for their offline verification…”
