How to Register on the eGov PH App

Quick answer

To register on eGov PH, install the app from your phone's app store, enter your mobile number, type the OTP sent by SMS, fill in your details, pass the face check, and set a 6-digit MPIN. It is free and takes about 10–15 minutes.

Before you start

  • A smartphone with the latest system update.
  • Your own mobile number with load or signal for SMS.
  • Your National ID card number or ePhilID, or another ID the app accepts.
  • A well-lit place for the face check.

Register only for yourself. Never let someone else take the face check for you.
