The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) authenticates individuals requesting civil registry document through their registered information in the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).

The Civil Registration Service (CRS) Central Outlet in East Avenue, Quezon City and select outlets in the National Capital Region (NCR) employ the PhilSys Authentication Services to verify the identity of the PhilID and ePhilID holders through their unique biometric information stored in the PhilSys registry. This applies to the issuance of civil registry documents such as Certificate of Live Birth, Certificate of No Marriage, and Certificate of Death, among others.

PSA Undersecretary Claire Dennis S. Mapa, PhD, National Statistician and Civil Registrar General, highlights that this verification measure is a preview of how the PhilSys can enhance the convenience and security of transactions for registered persons once it is integrated in various government processes.

“With 83 million Filipinos registered and more Filipinos receiving their PhilID and ePhilID, we consistently strive to improve the transaction experience through the national ID,” said Undersecretary Mapa. “Implementing authentication and verification measures at the CRS outlets is one of the ways we are making this possible. It showcases the security features that the PhilSys provides, offering a reliable authentication for the public.”
