Securing a valid, government-issued identification card is essential for everything from setting up a local bank account to opening a stock trading or investment profile. Fortunately, following a temporary national operations halt, PHLPost has officially resumed applications for the improved Postal ID.



The Postal ID stands out as one of the most accessible and functional identification cards available. If you live or work in Pasig, this straightforward step-by-step blog guide will show you exactly where to go and how to secure yours.


Where to Apply in Pasig City

To protect your personal data, PHLPost strongly advises against using unauthorized online helpers or third-party Facebook agents. The data capture process requires your physical presence for biometrics.

The Main Capturing Location:

Pasig City Central Post Office

Address: Caruncho Avenue, Barangay San Nicolas, Pasig City (Conveniently situated right beside the Pasig City Hall complex and directly across from KFC).

Operating Hours: Mondays to Fridays, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Pro-Tip: If the main branch experiences unusually high foot traffic, Pasig residents living near boundary lines frequently cross over to nearby alternative capturing centers, such as the Marikina Postal Office or SM Aura in BGC, depending on proximity.


Documentary Requirements to Prepare

Before heading to the post office, make sure you bring both the original documents and clean photocopies of the following items:

Two (2) Copies of the Postal ID Application Form: You can pick these up for free at the post office or download them ahead of time from the official PHLPost portal.

Proof of Identity (Bring one):




Proof of Address (Bring one):

  • Recent Barangay Clearance
  • Utility Bill (Electricity, Water, internet) under your name
  • Official Bank Statement or Credit Card Statement

Additional Documents (If applicable):

  • For Married Women: Bring your Marriage Certificate to verify your change of last name.



Step-by-Step Application Process

Getting your card finalized takes three basic steps once you arrive at the branch:

Step 1: Document Verification – Present your filled-out forms alongside your supporting identification to the window clerk for evaluation.

Step 2: Payment – Pay the required processing fee directly at the cashier window. Always request an official receipt.

Step 3: Biometric Data Capture – Proceed to the dedicated imaging section where your digital photograph, fingerprints, and digital signature will be captured.

Once this process wraps up, you are all set! The physical card will be delivered straight to your registered home address via standard postal delivery.
