The Philippine Postal Identification Card (Postal ID) is an essential document for Filipinos.

Whether you're applying for a new Postal ID or tracking the status of your ID application, staying informed is crucial. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of tracking your Postal ID application, ensuring that you're always aware of its status.

Why Tracking Your Postal ID Is Important

Tracking your Postal ID application offers several benefits:

Transparency: It provides transparency into the processing timeline of your ID, allowing you to anticipate when it will be ready for pickup.
Efficiency: You can plan your visit to the Philippine Postal Corporation (PhilPost) office accordingly, saving time and effort.
Peace of Mind: Knowing the status of your application alleviates uncertainties and ensures you receive your ID promptly.

How to Track Your Postal ID

Tracking your Postal ID is a straightforward process that involves the following steps:

1. Gather Your Reference Number

When you applied for your Postal ID, you should have received a reference number. This reference number is essential for tracking your ID's status. Ensure you have it on hand before proceeding.

2. Visit the PhilPost Website

Open your web browser and visit the official PhilPost website. The website is a valuable resource for various postal services, including tracking your Postal ID.

3. Access the Online Tracking Portal

Navigate to the online tracking portal on the PhilPost website. Look for a section that allows you to track your Postal ID status. This portal may have a distinct name, such as "Postal ID Tracking" or "ID Card Status."

4. Enter Your Reference Number

In the tracking portal, you'll typically find a field where you can enter your reference number. Carefully input your reference number as provided during your application. Double-check for accuracy to avoid errors.

5. Initiate the Tracking Process

After entering your reference number, click the "Submit" or "Track" button. The system will process your request and retrieve the status of your Postal ID application.

6. Review the Status Update

Once the system has processed your request, you will receive a status update on your Postal ID application. This update may include information such as whether your ID is ready for pickup or still in the processing stage.

If it doesn't work, or you don't have a tracking number, you may contact the PHLPost customer service hotline at (02) 8288-7678 (available Mondays to Fridays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or send an email to phlpostcares@phlpost.gov.ph or the Postal ID Facebook page to follow up on your postal ID delivery status.

Tip: If you also applied for the national ID or Phil ID and haven't received it yet, you may also track its status on the PHLPost Tracking site.
