PHILPOST: How to Apply For A Digitized Postal ID Card


PHILPOST: How to Apply For A Digitized Postal ID Card


Hey brother! Did you know that the Philippine Postal Corporation, or simply Philpost, recently upgraded its postal ID card?!  I bet you'll be happy to know that the new digitized postal ID card will now be accepted to any office or agency just like your other Government Issued IDs. And not only that! Allegedly it is super easy to apply and the ID will be delivered right on your doorstep!

The new postal ID card is made of pvc, hardbound just like an ATM card and UMID card. In addition, it also has electronic security features which is listed below. Validity of the new Philpost ID id good for three (3) years.


One of the reasons for the upgrade is because the old laminated postal ID was very vulnerable and easy to copy so Philpost has launched the new ID card system. You can also use this new ID card when getting a passport as DFA approved it as one of the valid IDs, on banks, hospitals, ports, and other offices.

Who can apply for the new Postal ID card?
  • All Filipinos of any age, living here in the Philippines or abroad, are eligible to apply.
  • Good news to foreignoys! Philpost would be allowing foreigners residing in the Philippines for at least six (6) months, to be able to apply for ID soon
Importance of the new Postal ID:

Everybody needs a proper ID to present in banks, hospitals and offices. It is also required before boarding a boat or aircraft. You need to show at least two (2) IDs when applying for a job, a passport, or a loan. Many Filipinos cannot get transactions done because they lack a valid proof of identity and address.
