31 May 2025 – ZAMBOANGA CITY. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) IX continues its efforts to provide National ID services to the public. These services include registering for the National ID, issuance of National ID in paper form, updating of demographic information, retrieval of lost transaction number, claiming of National ID card tagged as return to sender, and National ID card status updates.

In May 2025, the PSA reached more people through its National ID registration efforts throughout the city. With the opening of additional National ID centers, a total of 2,502 aged five and above were registered, along with 182 children under five years old. This shows PSA’s strong effort to make National ID registration easy and available for everyone.

To help people who need quick proof of identity, PSA also issued 2,208 National IDs in paper form during the month. These printed IDs can be used while waiting for the PVC card, allowing people to do important transactions without delay.

To make sure records are updated, 229 clients were assisted in updating their personal information, such as name, address, date of birth, place of birth, and contact details. This ensures the accuracy of all information being used in their National ID.

PSA also helped 183 clients claiming their National ID cards that were previously marked as Return to Sender (RTS). By doing this, PSA continues to make sure everyone who registered receives their ID without unnecessary problems or delays.
