To ensure an inclusive, secure and sustainable identification system, the PSA likewise aims to register Filipino children below five years old.

To register children, the accompanying parent must be PhilSys registered prior to the registration of the children in PhilSys. The PhilSys Number (PSN) of the children shall be linked to the PSN of the parent or guardian for authentication purposes.

An original copy of supporting documents must also be presented to validate the demographic information of the child.

Only the demographic information and front-facing photograph of the children shall be collected during PhilSys registration. The complete biometric information of the children including the fingerprints, iris scan, and the updated front-facing photograph shall be captured once they reach the age of five.

The PSA-Based PhilSys Registration Center located at Nuciti Central Calapan, Brgy. Camilmil, Calapan City remains open to walk-in applicants.
