So, for the PhilID registration, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will establish both fixed and mobile registration centers in strategic locations to register the population to PhilSys. Currently, the PSA is in coordination with LGUs, government agencies, and the private sector to determine these locations. Further updates on the exact locations of registration centers will be released by the PSA prior to the opening of PhilSys registration.
