As of 30 December 2023, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) - La Union Provincial Statistical Office achieves another significant milestone with a total of 654,765 successfully registered Filipinos under the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) Step 2 registration, 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 to streamline public and private transactions while fostering social and economic platforms for enhanced service and financial inclusion.

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.

PSA-La Union remains steadfast in ensuring an inclusive identification for all through various strategies to bring the PhilSys registration more accessible to the unregistered individuals in the province. In coordination with the component Local Government Units (LGUs) of the province down to the barangay level, PSA – La Union PhilSys personnel continue the conduct of mobile registration 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, individuals must provide valid supporting document subject to verification detailed on the PhilSys website through https://philsys.gov.ph/supporting-documents/.

The PSA assures that all personal information disclosed during the PhilSys Step 2 Registration adheres with the confidentiality provisions of Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the “Data Privacy Act of 2012.”
