a. Personal appearance.
The need to capture your biometrics and photo explains why you need to be physically present at the
post office during application. You can’t apply for postal ID through the mail or a representative.
b. Two copies of duly-accomplished postal ID application form.

Application forms are available at all post offices. Alternatively, you can download it here.
c. Proof of identity.
 Passport with at least 6 months of validity prior to application.
 Any of the following supporting documents (again, with at least 6-month validity prior to
application): (1) Alien Certificate of Registration Identity Card (ACRI-Card); (2) Long Stay
Visitor Visa Extension (LSVVE); (3) Temporary Resident Visa (TRV); (4) Diplomatic Visa; or
(5) Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV).
d. Proof of address.
 Barangay Certificate of Residency issued within three months prior to application.

 Certification or statement of account from the hotel, transient home, or any temporary residence
within three months prior to application.
 Notarized Land, House, or Condominium Lease Contract

 School billing statement
 Utility bill (cable, electric, internet, landline, telephone, water).
Step 2: Go to your nearest post office to

submit all the requirements and pay the
postal ID fee.
After receiving the requirements, applicants will then be asked to pay the fixed fee for the improved
postal ID.
As of this writing, the postal ID fee is Php 504 which covers the cost of printing, delivery, and
the 12% value-added tax (VAT).
Step 3: Proceed to the postal ID capture

station.
The postal ID capture station is where your photograph and fingerprints/biometrics will be taken and
recorded digitally.
This capture station is located at the same post office where you submit all the requirements.
There are 260 postal ID capture stations located at selected malls and different post offices
throughout the country.
Please refer to the following links for complete addresses of all postal ID capture stations in the
Philippines:

In addition to these capture stations, you may also apply for postal ID at any mobile capturing
center in select locations.
This is part of PhilPost’s project called Postal ID Mobile Capturing Service which aims to issue
postal IDs to people who don’t have the time to visit the post office.
If you want to know the places where this mobile capturing center is scheduled to visit, check out
the new Postal ID official Facebook page or make a request to PhilPost to have them visit your
government agency, office, or locality.
Step 4: Wait for your new postal ID to be
delivered to your mailing address.
If you applied at any post office within Metro Manila, expect to receive the improved postal ID
approximately 10 to 15 working days from application.
For major cities and municipalities outside Metro Manila, the waiting time is approximately 20
working days.
Lastly, if the application is done at post offices in island provinces and remote barangays, the postal
ID is usually delivered after 4 to 5 weeks or 30 working days.
