PSA website glitches on first day of registration for National ID

The website of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) experienced “technical difficulties” on the first day of the online registration for the National ID.

In an advisory, the agency said its technical team was working to resolve the issue.

“We will provide updates as soon as the website is up and running. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused,” it said.

The National Economic and Development Authority earlier said that the online system will collect the demographic information of applicants for the National ID. 

President Rodrigo Duterte signed the proposed national identification system into law in 2018 to harmonize and integrate several government IDs. — Julia Mari Ornedo/RSJ, GMA News
