PhilSys, the Philippine Identification System, is the country's official national identity scheme, run by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) under Republic Act 11055. Every registered citizen and resident alien is issued a permanent PhilSys Number (PSN), while the card itself shows a public PhilSys Card Number (PCN) for everyday transactions. The PhilID and its digital form, the ePhilID accessed through the eGovPH app, are recognised as sufficient proof of identity under Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas rules.

Verification asks the person for a few identity details and a liveness-checked selfie, then matches both against the PSA's national ID records. If you already hold the person's identity data, you can pass it in when the check launches and skip the form, so the only step the customer sees is the selfie.
The result confirms whether the record is valid and returns the associated demographic data without exposing the confidential PSN, in line with how PhilSys is designed for business KYC.
