The Philippine Postal Corporation are now issuing the new Postal ID which has more security features than the old one and it is valid government ID for almost anyone who needs address and identity proof.
Having a personal ID is very important for everyone of us; but getting an ID that will be honored in every institution is difficult, especially if you don’t have skills, qualifications or employment.
Fortunately, we have a Philippine Postal ID that everybody can easily get with a few requirements that almost anyone has, unlike the requirements for obtaining a driver’s license, PRC license, SSS or GSIS card.
But due to low security features of Postal ID, it can easily be forged and used for illegal transactions, this is one of the reasons why some institutions are not honoring the postal ID as a valid ID.
The good news is, the Philippine Postal Corp. (PhilPost) has started rolling out the new Postal ID with special security features that you can use like other government ID’s in your important transactions like applying for the new Passport.
All Filipinos of any age, whether living in the Philippines or abroad, are eligible to apply. Very soon, the new Postal ID will also be available to foreigners residing in the Philippines for at least six months.
