28 August 2024 – BOAC, MARINDUQUE. The Philippine Statistics Authority Marinduque Provincial Statistical Office (PSO) has recently launched a service that enables registered individuals to update their details in the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).

In accordance with Section 11 of Republic Act No. 11055, also known as the PhilSys Act, individuals enrolled in the system are required to update their information whenever modifications or corrections are needed for the data maintained within the PhilSys database.

To facilitate this requirement, The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Marinduque Provincial Statistical Office has effectively initiated the implementation of updating demographic information in the National ID system on 17 June 2024. This updating service is specifically available at the Fixed Registration Center located in the JRT Building, Kasilag Street, Tampus, Boac, Marinduque.

The current updating service is free of charge and confined to demographic information adjustments. This includes rectifying inaccuracies in name, date of birth, place of birth, blood type confirmation, gender adjustment, address modifications, and marital status updates. This initiative ensures that all registered citizens and residents maintain accurate and up-to-date personal information, which is crucial for the integrity and functionality of the National ID system. 

Registered individuals who want to avail the updating service are advised to personally visit the designated PhilSys FRC, bringing any format of the National ID (PhilID, ePhilID and Digital National ID) along with the original relevant supporting documents in order to process his/her request.

As of 28 August 2024, 62 individuals have completed the process of updating their National IDs, with six individuals having received their updated ePhilIDs.

As PhilSys continues to expand its implementation, PSA-Marinduque encourages all registered individuals to take advantage of this opportunity to ensure their personal information is correct and current. This proactive approach not only helps in minimizing future discrepancies but also reinforces the reliability of the PhilSys database.

For those who may have concerns or need further assistance, the PSA has established a Public Assistance and Complaint Desk (PACD) at the Fixed Registration Center. Staff members are readily available to offer assistance and address any queries related to the services offered by PhilSys. Alternatively, you can also reach us via email at marinduque@psa.gov.ph. or through our landline numbers: (042)332-0848 or (042)754-0024.
