PHILSYS ID REQUIREMENTS – Here are the documents needed in applying for the Philippine Identification System ID or National ID.
Nowadays, you can no longer be approved for a bank loan, be allowed to open a bank account, be able to purchase a car or house, and several other important and big transactions if you have no valid ID. In fact, a lot of cases, at least two (2) valid IDs are often requested in every transaction.
