PSA unveils mobile app to check authenticity of certifications, civil registry documents

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has launched the PSA e-Verification Mobile App to enable the public to validate the displayed information against the printed security paper (SECPA).

In a statement on Wednesday, Aug. 10, the PSA said that the mobile app is a stand-alone system, which can work even offline.

For now, the app is accessible on android devices only.

“It is encrypted through public-key encryption technology that confirms the authenticity of issued certifications and copies of civil registry documents by scanning the quick response (QR) code printed in the SECPA, which is now one of the new features under the Civil Registry System-Information Technology Project Phase II (CRS-ITP2),” PSA said.

The CRS-ITP2 was pilot-tested on July 11.

PSA said the e-Verification Mobile App is free and can be downloaded at its website.
