    Ang pagkuha ng Goverment ID na ata ang isa sa pinaka-exciting (at stressful) na gagawin ng isang adult. Bakit? Dahil lahat tayo, at some point, ay nag-pila, naghintay, at nagdasal na sana mabilis makuha ang ID na kailangan natin. Pero gaya ng ibang laban o race, may mga frontrunner at may mga nahuhuli. 

    At dahil ang government IDs ay mahalaga — whether for job hunting, banking, o sa pag-avail ng Home Credit installment plans—dapat mong malaman kung anong ID ang pinakamabilis na makuha sa Pilipinas. 

    Fast Lane: The Speed Racers of Government IDs

    1. Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus

    Processing time: Same day

    Bukod sa pagiging ID, may perks pa itong discount card. Medyo matagal-tagal lang bago lumabas, pero worth it kung gusto mong may extra gamit ang ID mo. Know how to get a Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus here.

    Ano ang requirements: Original birth certificate and one photocopy, two government-issued IDs. Prepare a fee of ₱125. 

    Slow Lane: The Patience Testers

    1. PhilSys National ID

    Processing time: Months to a year 

    May mga Pilipino na nag-apply noong 2022 pa pero hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring hawak. Good news: may improvement na sa delivery, pero hindi pa rin ito kasing bilis ng iba. 

    Ano ang requirements: PSA-authenticated birth certificate and 1 government-issued ID such as Philippine Passport or ePassport, UMID; LTO-issued Student’s License Permit or Driver’s License. 

    Ready, Set, Adulting!

    Sa “Great ID Race,” panalo ang mga mabilis lumabas gaya ng Postal ID, NBI Clearance, at Driver’s License. Pero kung long-term validity at versatility ang hanap mo, worth the wait pa rin ang Passport, UMID, at National ID. 

    So habang nag-a-apply ka ng mga IDs, isipin mo na lang: bawat pila, bawat hintay, at bawat awkward ID photo ay hakbang papunta sa pagiging certified adult.  

    At least next time na mangarap ka ng bagong smartphone or home upgrade, handa ka nang i-avail ang Home Credit installment plans — with your trusty government IDs. Kunin ang Home Credit App para makakita ng loan offers, promos, at iba pa!
