The PhilSys Step 2 registration is the capturing of biometrics

Registrants for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) continue to increase amid quarantine restrictions across the country.

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reminds those who will proceed to the Step 2 face-to-face biometrics registration to follow the standard health and safety protocols. Moreover, registrants must comply with their scheduled appointment to limit the number of individuals at registration centers and maintain physical distancing. Wearing of face masks and face shields, as well as regular disinfection, are also mandatory.

PhilSys Step 2 registration includes the capturing of iris scans, fingerprints, and front-facing photographs.
