The Philippine Statistics Authority Davao del Sur Provincial Statistical Office (PSA-DavSur) continues to implement the provisions of Republic Act No. 11055, known as the National Identification System Act. This law aims to provide a valid proof of identity that simplifies both public and private transactions, promotes seamless service delivery, and encourages the wider use of the National ID across various sectors.
Public Urged to Report Non-Acceptance
In line with these efforts, PSA-DavSur is urging the public to report any private or government institutions that fail or refuse to accept the different formats of the National ID—whether card, paper, or digital—as valid proof of identity. This directive aligns with PSA public advisories and issuances, as well as the penal provisions stipulated under Section 19 of Republic Act No. 11055.
Details Required for Reports
When submitting a report, individuals should include the following relevant details:
- Date of the transaction
- Name and branch of the establishment
- Type of transaction
- Reason provided for the non-acceptance of the National ID
How to Submit Reports
The public may submit their reports through email at davaodelsur@psa.gov.ph or contact the office via telephone at (082) 225-0172. Alternatively, concerned individuals can personally visit the PSA Davao del Sur Provincial Statistical Office located at JM Agro Building, Governor Sales Street, Davao City. This allows for proper reporting, assessment, and verification of the completeness and authenticity of the submitted information.
