Guide on the Primary ID & Documents in the Philippines
PRIMARY ID PHILIPPINES – Here is a list of the documents and IDs that are considered primary in the Philippines.
In making a transaction like applying for a loan, enrolling in a course, getting a car, buying a house, booking a ticket, and several others, you will need to present valid IDs. There are IDs that are considered “primary” while there are also those that are considered “secondary”.
Most often, companies in the Philippines would either ask at least one (1) valid primary ID as a proof of identity. The primary IDs bear the photo, address, and signature of the person. In the absence of a primary ID, firms would usually ask at least two (2) secondary IDs. Thus, a lot of people prefer presenting a valid primary ID.
