Philippine ID cards to be recognized as official proof of identity in government or private transactions
The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), in a memorandum issued on June 10, 2021, enjoined government and private establishments to honor the Phil ID card as proof of identity in dealing with National Government Agencies (NGAs), Local Government Units (LGUs), Government-Owned or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs), Government Financial Institutions (GFIs), State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), and all private establishments.
The DILG ordered that the Phil ID card shall be accepted as sufficient proof of identity and that no other identification documents shall be presented.
Those who violate this directive, without just cause, will be fined with Php 500,000. Moreover, if the violator is a government official or employee, the penalty includes disqualification from holding any public office or employment in the government.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) launched the first steps of registration for the Phil ID system in October 2020. As of now, July 2021, the registration is on its third and final step.
Under Republic Act No. 11055 or the Philippine Identification System Act, the Phil ID card shall serve as the official government-issued identification document of cardholders in transacting with government or private establishments. (AWT/ACT)
