Last 13 February 2024, PSA Bohol started the implementation of the Registration of Children ages 1-4 years old. Only the demographic information and front-facing photograph of the children should be collected during the PhilSys Registration. The complete biometric information of the children shall be initially captured once they reach the age of five.
The PhilSys Number (PSN) of the children shall be linked to the PSN of the parent or guardian for authentication purposes. To clarify, the children should be accompanied by their PhilSys registered parent or guardian during the registration process. Please refer to table 1 below for the documentary requirements for each classification.
