Hi! your list is the top 28 valid ID's right?..I was just wondering why documents like birth certificate, marriage contract, brgy clearance, etc are included..They don't bear a photo of the owner..2nd question is, why is it that student permit is not included in valid ID's? It is issued by government and bears a digital photo of the owner?

Hi if I will open a bank account on BPI. Then I only have two valid ids which is Postal Id and Tin Card. Is it okay or should O bring another one instead?
Guest [Entry]

Minaaa, I'm not sure if BPI will accept your application if you bring only those two id's. But you can try to submit them. There's no harm in trying. Tell us here if they accept your application with those ID's.
