Have you ever experienced waiting  long lines only to realize later that you do not have sufficient proofs of Identification?

Have you ever risked bringing along your passport because it is by far one of the most accepted proof of identification because of its security features and strict screening being done by the government to protect its authenticity?

Or have you ever lost your passport and carried the burden of proving the veracity of your claims, and to realize that it would take more than a week just to get a replacement of  a lost passport?

Passport as a valid ID

The PASSFOTO-iD does just that. It is "plastic card ID" version of your passport which makes it a valid Identification card. The PASSFOTO-iD is the scanned data page of the passport that was assigned to you by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). And because you were pre-screened by the government when you applied for it, you no longer need to go thru the same process again.

ID Picture not needed

Usually when you apply for an identification card, one of the basic necessity is the picture. But with PASSFOTO-iD, you don't need to since it is already there in your passport's data page.

Faster replacement of your passport

Since your PASSFOTO-iD is the exact replica of your passport, It would be easier to facilitate the replacement of your passport because it already carries much of the valuable information that was in your lost passport.

Credit Card security-enabled

To deter people from copying your PASSFOTO-iD, it is fitted with security features that are used by credit card companies such as security Overlay, Ultra-violet security logo and microprints. Scanning a PASSFOTO-iD and printing a duplicate will render the microprints unreadable. It is also fitted with a signature panel and a place for magnetic stripe in the future for recording vital information.
