This week, the Province of Biliran took a significant leap forward in strengthening our national identity and civil registration systems! The 2025 National Identification (NID) and Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Summit, held at BIPSU Hostel in Naval, marked a pivotal moment of collaboration between the government, private sector, and the community.

𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒇 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝑹𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒍 𝑽. 𝑪𝒖𝒆𝒗𝒂 set an empowering tone for the summit, emphasizing a shared mission: We need to strengthen our shared commitment in building an inclusive, reliable, and efficient system that upholds the dignity and rights of every citizen.

The National ID is a valid document for all transactions, even without a physical signature, as stipulated by law. For those who need it, your digital signature is available in the eGov PH app!

· Your Digital Identity is Secure: The National ID eVerify system (www.philsys.gov.ph) makes it easy for banks, LGUs, and businesses to securely authenticate your identity, streamlining processes for everyone.

· We’re Listening & Improving: PSA is actively working with a national council to address challenges, like signature requirements, based on your feedback. Your voice matters!

Your National ID is more than just a card;it’s your key to accessing government services, financial aid, and private transactions. PSA is working hard to bring registration services closer to you. The goal is to ensure no one is left behind, from senior citizens to 4Ps beneficiaries.

If you haven’t registered for your National ID yet, visit your local PSA office or barangay when registration is announced. Let’s make Biliran 100% registered!

Do you know someone who still doesn’t have a birth certificate?This is their chance! PSA, in partnership with our Municipal Civil Registrars, is offering FREE late registration for unregistered births. This is a vital document for school, work, and claiming benefits.

Spread the word! Help your family, friends, and neighbors avail of this free service. Let’s ensure every Biliranon has a legal identity from birth.

Modern & Efficient Civil Registration Services (CRS)

Getting your PSA documents is now more convenient!The PSA-managed CRS Outlet in Naval uses an online appointment system.

· How it Works: Simply go online and book an appointment. Your appointment is your ticket to be served.

· Pro Tip: Bring all necessary requirements and valid IDs. Remember, civil registry documents are confidential; you cannot get a copy for a sibling or relative without a notarized authorization. Let’s respect privacy and follow the process for a smooth experience for all.

The summit wasn’t just about sharing information; it was about building partnerships. We encourage banks, LGUs, and private institutions in Biliran to integrate the National ID eVerify system. Let’s be pioneers in creating a seamless, secure, and resilient identity infrastructure for our province!

Together, we can overcome challenges and build a stronger, more secure future for Biliran and the entire Philippines.

This is our contribution to nation-building. This is Bagong Pilipinas in action!
