The Philippine Statistics Authority Regional Statistical Services Office VII (PSA RSSO VII) re-emphasizes its standing offer for government agencies, financial institutions, schools, local government units (LGUs), and business companies to integrate with the National ID Authentication Services. These services provide robust and secure methods for authenticating individuals, such as transacting clients or customers, significantly enhancing trust and security in identity verification processes.

The National ID Authentication Services are designed with two distinct tiers to meet varying verification needs:

• Basic Online Authentication Service (Tier I): This service provides a straightforward "match" or "no match" response upon verification, ideal for quick and efficient identity confirmation.

• electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) (Tier II): Offering a more comprehensive verification, the eKYC service provides demographic information and a front-facing photograph of the client, enabling a higher level of assurance for sensitive transactions.

These powerful authentication services, are available at no cost to interested government institutions and entities that register as Relying Parties of the National ID System. To avail of these services, organizations must complete the onboarding process by submitting the required documentary requirements through the                      National ID eVerify website, accessible at https://everify.gov.ph/. This user-friendly platform streamlines the entire onboarding journey, guiding organizations from initial registration to final system integration.

PSA strongly urges all organizations to leverage the National ID System's innovative solutions to enhance service delivery, security, and efficiency. Many government agencies and private institutions are already onboarding, recognizing the significant benefits of integrating with the National ID, including enhanced security through biometric authentication to combat fraud and streamlined verification processes for a faster, more convenient customer experience. This widespread adoption will significantly contribute to the shared goal of providing all Filipinos with accessible, reliable, and secure public services.

To help interested organizations fully understand and appreciate the benefits of National ID authentication services, PSA is ready to schedule exclusive meetings and detail the authentication services, onboarding process, technical requirements, and support needed for seamless systems integration. Beyond these meetings, PSA can also assist in piloting the authentication service at selected offices or branches of relying parties, offering valuable insights into its integration, efficiency, and impact.               To learn more or to schedule an orientation session, please contact PSA RSSO VII at telephone number (032) 412-6794 or email address rsso07@psa.gov.ph.
