HID, a global leader in trusted identity solutions, has partnered with FMC RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC. to launch the eGovPH App from the Philippine government to the Filipino citizens. This mobile identity platform, the first of its kind in Asia, is fully ISO-compliant and enables Filipinos to access and store their digitized government-issued identity documents, such as the digital National ID and Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) card, in one seamless application. This groundbreaking project demonstrates how mobile identity solutions can transform government services, ensuring secure, efficient, and convenient access for citizens.
The eGovPH App, initiated by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), represents a significant step in the Philippines’ digital transformation. By integrating HID’s goIDTM Software Development Kit (SDK), the app guarantees the highest security standards for identity management, making it easier for citizens to access essential services such as PhilHealth, GSIS, and business registration, while also supporting eID verification for outbound and inbound travel.
