The PH Post recently reopened applications, making it easier for a Philippine Postal ID to be acquired. Below are the requirements and procedures that new applicants and applicants who would renew their ID must follow.

Requirements for a Philippine Postal ID

For First-Time Applicants:
First-time applicants must have the following documents in preparation to ensure a smooth application for a postal ID.
  • Two photocopies of a filled-up postal ID application form; these can be obtained at post offices or downloadable on the website.
  • One identification card. This could be any of the following:
    • NSO issued birth certificate
    • GSIS or SSS UMID card
    • Driver's license
    • Passport
    • Marriage certificate for married women
  • One proof of address. This could be in the barangay clearance first in the menu, followed by a certified true copy of the lease or title, a real estate tax receipt, a bank statement, or a utility bill.

For Renewal applicants: 
Renewal applicants present:
  • Original and photocopy of their lapsed postal ID.
  • One document with an address to it.
  • One identification (on the basis above).
  • Married women whose existing ID does not contain the married name are required to supply their marriage certificate.

How to Apply

  1. Gather Documents: Gather all the necessary documents according to the documentation above.
  2. Go to Nearest Post Office: Go to the nearest post office that accepts postal ID applications.
  3. Apply: Submit your documents and application form.".
  4. Application Fee: The standard amount is ₱550. For express processing, the fee may range higher.
  5. Capture Biometrics: Once you have returned your application form, you will be asked to undergo biometrics, where picture, signature, and fingerprint capture will be implemented.
  6. Processing Time: If your postal ID is processed through regular application, you can expect around 10 to 15 working days of processing time. For rush services, your postal ID will be out the same day or the following day.

PHLPost restarts the issuance of postal IDs, which was temporarily suspended earlier this year due to some technical issues. The resumption of postal ID issuance means the applicants can now retrieve this very important form of identification, accepted by practically every sector in the country.

Postal ID is also a valid identification card, but it also facilitates gaining entry into most government services and financial transactions.

Conclusion In summary, a Philippine postal ID is something that every citizen and resident must have in possession. The requirements are all laid out, and the process to apply for one is very simple, making it easier to get one today than at any other time in history. Make sure you assemble all the relevant requirements when you visit your area post office for a hassle-free application process.
