As of 30 November 2023, the PhilSys registration team of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-La Union Provincial Statistical Office successfully registered a total of 651,908 Filipinos under the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys), which involves the validation of demographic data and the capture of biometric information such as fingerprint, iris scan, and front-facing photo.

The valid proof of identity provided by the PhilSys shall be a means of simplifying public and private transactions and shall be a social and economic platform that promotes seamless social service delivery and strengthens financial inclusion for both public and private services.

The table below shows the successful registrants by city/municipality in La Union who completed the PhilSys Step 2 registration since its first implementation in the first quarter of 2021.

Steadfast in ensuring an inclusive identification system in La Union, PSA-La Union continuously conducts various strategic approaches in coordination with the component Local Government Units (LGUs) of the province down to the barangay level. One of the initatives of the PSA is the “PhilSys on Wheels," bringing the PhilSys registration right at the doorstep of every citizen, particularly to cater the elderly and Persons with Disability (PWD) who are incapable of leaving their homes to visit registration centers and institutional registration.

Furthermore, PSA-La Union continuously operates its Fix Registration Center (FRC) situated at Doña Pepita Bldg., Quezon Ave., Brgy. II, City of San Fernando, La Union. Unregistered individuals under the PhilSys may also visit the registration center located at the Civil Registration Services (CRS) Outlet of PSA-Regional Statistical Services Office I (PSA-RSSO I) and the mall-based registration center at the CSI Mall, City of San Fernando, La Union.

To register to the PhilSys, individuals must provide a valid supporting document subject to verification which can be viewed through this link https://philsys.gov.ph/supporting-documents/ to successfully complete the registration.

The public is assured that all personal information provided during the PhilSys Step 2 Registration will be treated with utmost confidentiality in conformity with the provisions of Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the “Data Privacy Act of 2012.”
