How To Get a Postal ID in Iloilo City

I never had a Postal ID before so I've decided to get one yesterday. Postal ID, they say is your Identity Card. It is one of the valid identification cards that you can easily get. Anyone from age 10 and above may apply for Postal ID.

So I went to Iloilo Post Office and got the Postal ID application form from the guard and fill out the required information needed.

The Postal ID application form can be downloaded here: Download the Philippine Postal ID form. (pdf)

Requirements:

• Original copy of Baranggay Clearance 
• Photocopy of Cedula
• Photocopy of your birth certificate or TIN I.D
• Two (2) copies of 2x2 picture

Postal ID cost: Php465.00

Cut off time:

11:30 AM

3:00 PM

I didn't have to wait much longer. I guess I was just lucky there were only a few applicants yesterday. My Postal ID was processed and given to me in less than 30 minutes.  

Iloilo Post Office is at Arsenal-Aduana, Iloilo City

Get An Authenticated Birth Certificate Online

Last week, Hec asked me a favor if I could go to NSO to get a copy of his authenticated birth certificate. To save myself from the hassle of falling in line at NSO (not to mention waking up early in the morning), I went online and applied/request for it via e-Census. It's a convenient way to apply/request for authenticated Birth Certificate, Marriage, Death Certificate and other Civil Registry Documents online.

The document arrived in the mail today. Only 2-3 business days processing. I applied for it on December 2, 2011 and paid only P315; delivered to Iloilo City.

Here's a quick tip on how to apply for birth certificate via e-Cencus:

1. https://www.ecensus.com.ph/Secure/frmIndex.asp 
2. Click on How To Apply below (Request for copies of Birth / Marriage / Death Certificate / CENOMAR). A pop up window will appear. Read the Terms and Conditions and click the I Accept button.
3. You will be redirected to Requester Information form, fill it up and click Submit. Get your reference/batch request number or simply print it out.
4. Amount will be generated; the fee varies according to your location. 
5. Pay online with credit card; online banking BDO and Unionbank. No credit card? No problem. Proceed to the nearest BDO or Unionbank branches and fill up the payment slip with the info below:

• Company/Institution Name: e-Census
• Client Name: (Your Name/Requester's Name)
• Reference number (Batch Request Number)
• Amount: ex. P315.00

If you're in doubt, ask for assistance from the teller. :)

Keep your receipt, and wait for 3-5 business days for the document(s) to be delivered to your delivery address.
