What is the eGov PH Super App?

eGov PH, or e-Government Philippines, is a mobile application that simplifies government transactions. Launched on June 2, 2023, it is spearheaded by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).

Also dubbed the “super app,” the eGov PH aims to integrate all government online services into one platform. It doesn’t intend to replace existing online government services but rather to supplement them.

Key Features of the eGov Super App

Here are the services you can access through the eGov app:

Digital IDs

One of the key highlights of the eGov PH app is that you can access a digital card of your Philippines National ID and driver’s license. You can access them on the bottom panel of the home page. Tapping the button will open your Mobile ID Wallet, where you can enlarge your ID and its QR code.

If you can’t always connect to an internet or mobile data connection, you can also enable ‘Offline Mode’ so you can access your digital National ID at any time.
