PSA Appointment Schedule

Last Updated on October 3, 2026 by gillani

PSA appointment booking is mandatory and free. Since 23 March 2026 (PSA Advisory 26CRS01-0546), every client at every CRS outlet — including National ID holders — must book online at appointment.psa.gov.ph, the official CRS booking system. Walk-ins without a booking are turned away. This guide shows how booking works, the rules for your slip, and where to get help.

Booking Rules You Must Know (2026)

• Booking is free. PSA never charges for the appointment itself — only the document fee at the outlet (₱155 birth/marriage/death; ₱210 CENOMAR). Beware of unofficial pages charging “slot fees”.
• Book only at appointment.psa.gov.ph. Unofficial pages or fixers charging for slots cannot be trusted — PSA never charges for booking.
• Your slip is non-transferable and must bear the requester’s name — matching the valid ID you’ll present.
• Book under your own name. Don’t book duplicate slots under name variations — slips are non-transferable.
• National ID holders included: the old walk-in lane is superseded — everyone books.
