How to Get a Barangay ID

Do you need an additional ID? There are many options for you, but we found the easiest way to get a new ID is getting a barangay ID. All you need is proof that you live in the barangay.

Here's what we did to get our barangay ID from the Sun Valley barangay hall -

1. Bring a valid ID* addressed to your residence and cedula to your local Barangay Hall 

2. Go to the room where the barangay ID is issued 

3. State your reason for getting a barangay ID (bank transfer, real estate, etc) 

4. After giving your documents, you will be directed to another window for payment. We paid PhP200 for the ID (PhP100 for the ID and another PhP100 for the bank transaction). 

5. After payment, you will be asked to have your photo taken for the ID 

6. Once your photo is taken, the staff handling your ID will ask you to confirm your data, then have you sign your signature onto the ID 

7. All that's left is printing the ID itself, which wouldn't take more than a few minutes, and you're done!

*If you do not have an ID that indicates your home address, the staff will provide a form that will have to be signed by your homeowner's association or property management office (in the case of condo dwellers). This will serve as validation that you are resident of the barangay. It will require two trips to the barangay hall, but the process is fairly fast if your homeowner office is open. 

How to Get Cedula at Your Barangay Hall

Need a cedula (community tax certificate)? Just head over to your barangay hall and get one. All you need is a valid ID. Here are the steps on how we got it at our barangay hall in Sun Valley -

1. Bring a valid ID to your local Barangay Hall 

2. Go to the room where the cedula is issued 

3. State your reason for getting a cedula (bank transfer, barangay ID, etc) 

4. Give your valid ID, then wait for a few minutes 

5. After a while, the issuer will return and have you press your thumbprint on the document 

6. Pay for it, with a minimum of Php5 but the cost will increase depending on your gross earnings 

7. You have your cedula!

Sun Valley Barangay Hall

We only visit our barangay hall once a year to get a new cedula (Community Tax Certificate) and so we just found out that all the office functions of Barangay Sun Valley has been moved to the building on Sun Valley Drive.

The office is at the second floor of this building.

Located at the end of Sun Valley Drive you can now get all your requirements for cedula, business permit, transfer certificate, police clearance etc. at the barangay hall from Mondays to Fridays. There's a photocopy machine at the ground floor in case you need to submit duplicates of requirements.

This building houses a daycare and the police desk.
