Step 2 involves validation of documentary requirements and capturing the biometric information of the registrant such as fingerprints, iris scan and facial recognition.

This is 22 percent of the 1,322,551 individuals targeted to be registered by the end of 2021.
“During the pandemic, we faced inevitable challenges for the province-wide implementation of PhilSys. The recent surge of COVID-19 cases in the past months forced 7 registration centers to suspend operations. The stoppage affected the daily expected output produced by all registration centers from 8,000 to 6,000 daily average registrants,” PSA Camarines Sur Chief Statistical Specialist Clemente Manaog said.
In a press statement, Manaog said that in order to speed up the process and get more registrants every day, they initiated various innovations such as implementing longer operating hours at the Fixed Registration Center located at the ALDP Mall.
