Postal ID is an important national ID as it is often asked to present when you want to apply for passport, credit card, and other transactions. Although not all employers ask its employees to get a postal ID, it is still necessary as postal ID indicates that you are a bonafide citizen of the Philippines.

Step 2: Fill up the upper portion of the form and attach a 2x2 ID picture with white background on your application form.
Step 3: Bring your application form to your Barangay and ask your Barangay Captain to fill up the lower portion of the form.

Step 4: Get a “cedula” or a Community Tax certificate.

Step 6: Submit your notarized application form together with the following at the post office: NSO certified birth or marriage certificate, 3 2x2 ID picture with white background, P315 postal ID fee (fee varies by location).
