1	The Plan for a National ID
2	Our Proposed Solution
3	The PassFoto-ID Definition: A durable photographic or picture ID with name, number, birthplace, and other information Dimensions: Credit card size (approx. 5.5 cm x 8.5 cm) Material: Laminated plastic with built-in tamper-resistant components Ownership and Patent Info: Concept and technology exclusively owned by American Photo Co., Inc.
4	Key Features Security Features Special Patented Laminate Tamper-resistant Technology perfected in the US Patented security markings Provision for a magnetic strip Accepted as a valid (since it is an authentic copy of the Philippine passport)
5	How It Works Scan data from Passport Create a credit card sized ID Integrate security features
6	Rationale Why implement the PassFoto-iD ID? Answers the need for a national ID system Why use the passport as the basis for the new national ID? Data is already valid and stored by DFA
7	Merits of the PassFoto-ID
8	#1: How many have passports? There are approx 25 Million Citizens & growing Plus:Approx 8 Million Overseas Foreign Workers & growing Therefore… No need to create a separate ID system when one is already in place and working Passports are recognized here and in foreign countries
9	#2:The PassFoto-ID is NOT Process Intensive Passport holders already went thru screening and identification process By capturing passport data, no need to repeat the same process. Less Processing = Faster turnaround of PassFoto-IDs
10	#3: Secure Patented ID system assures against tampering Utilizes security technology currently in use in the US and other countries
11	#4: Zero Cost to Government Private initiative, does not use government funds Cost shouldered by Passport/ID holder Entire process, up to issuance of ID is covered by the private initiative
12	#5: Employment thru franchising program Will employ more people to staff nationwide franchises – this is where to come in. The PassFoto-ID system will create jobs by establishing satellite offices nationwide
13	#6: Convenience for the citizens Easy to obtain, no hassle-process: just present your passport Easy application: includes option to apply via the Internet Useful as a valid ID at banks, other institutions where ID cards must be presented No long lines, No long waiting time
14	#6: Convenience for the citizens (cont’d) Low cost: PassFoto-ID is only P250.00 (or about US$5.00) Other IDs: Cost of Passport: P500.00 Cost of Driver’s License: P300.00 Cost of Professional License: P500.00 Cost of Student ID: P195.00 (avg.)
15	Bottom Line: Addresses the need for a national ID system Credible: uses data maintained by the government in passports Secure: utilizes patented and proven security technology vs. tampering/fraud Fast: Less processing means less hassle in producing and releasing IDs Low cost: zero cost to government, low cost to citizens
16	The Plan for a National ID There is a need for a standard Photo ID that is: Credible and accepted Secure Fast and Efficient Will not be Costly
17	Steps in Producing A National ID Government must: Gather application data Appoint and maintain staff Undertake authentication techniques Print and issue national IDs Allocate budget for maintaining operations Citizen must: Go thru tedious application process Present authenticated documents Secure photo Incur additional expense
18	The Results: Citizens are discouraged from obtaining national IDs due to associated frustration and hassles Long processing time required to validate data Budgetary constraints: government must seek Congress’ approval Media criticism of project
19	The Next Step Government recognition and endorsement of the PassFoto-ID project
