While many Filipinos are still waiting on their physical National ID cards, Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) says they can get digital and printed versions.
PSA, on October 5, 2022, announced that the various formats of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) digital ID, including the printed ePhilID (printable National ID), would now be accepted as valid and sufficient proof of identity and age. It also reiterates that printable National ID "shall be honored and accepted as the official government-issued identification document."

The printed ePhilID would serve as an alternative ID for those who still have not yet received their physical ID. Filipinos who've already registered for the National ID can start claiming their ePhilID by setting an appointment online and presenting their transaction slip to their chosen PhilSys Registration Centers on the reserved date. See the tutorial below on how to claim your printable national ID.

Here's a step-by-step guide on getting a printed copy of your National ID.
Step 1: Go to the "ePhilID Appointment System" page (https://ift.tt/79wyXIr).

The printed ePhilID shows a significantly large QR code, with the PhiSys Card Number (PCN) below the individual's ID photo and basic personal information, such as full name, sex, blood type, marital status, date and place of birth, and address.
Moreover, the sample shows the ePhilID generation date, along with reminders.
PSA also said that it uses public-private key cryptography to make sure that the information in the QR code cannot be tampered with.
How to verify your ePhilID?
Using your internet-enabled device with a camera, go to the PhilSys Check website (https://ift.tt/A3yPUEp). Click on the "SCAN QR CODE" button. Once the system has authenticated the QR code of your ePhilID, it will display a successful verification message that should match your demographic information and ID photo.
If you have concerns or problems, you can call the PhilSys hotline at 1388 or email info@philsys.gov.ph.
