Is it Postal id and Philhealth id card is valid id for renewal for passport??
Pamela [Entry]

Dear Admin,

I have noticed that you used my ID in this site without my permission. This is unauthorized used. Could you please be careful is using other persons identity as sample in your site for security reasons of the right owner of those IDs. You should be using dummy samples. I have reported this as well to SSS office.

Please be guided accordingly and looking for your immediate actions.

banks wont honor NBI anymore, so let's say if you are out of luck(just as I am) and only have 1 valid ID, having your check cashed in would be pointless.,

In applying for a passport, can i atleast provide only nbi clearance,barangay clearance and b-certificate as a valid ID? I don't think my school id is valid anymore because I already graduated but in my school id indicates that the validity year is 2012-2015 so it is a bit confusing... please help...
