TL;DR: NEDA chief said you may be able to register online for the Philippines’ national ID system starting April 30, 2021.

According to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Karl Chua, online registration for the country’s national identification system starts on April 30, Friday.

GMA News reports that applicants will still need to personally go to a registration center to submit documents and scan for biometrics.

The national ID will be considered a primary ID (akin to other government-issued IDs such as the driver’s license, passport, and SSS UMID, among others). For citizens without an ID, it could be used to help open a bank account, essentially a doorway to our financial system.

For now, Secretary Chua noted that it could help fast track the country’s vaccination program, as well as aid in the distribution of financial aid (or ayuda) during the lockdown.
