Why Is SIM Registration Required?

The SIM Registration Act (Republic Act No. 11934) was introduced to reduce scams, fraud, and criminal activity through mobile phones. It ensures that each SIM card is linked to a real person with verified identification.

Who Needs to Register?

• Adults (18+)
• Senior citizens
• Teenagers and minors (with parental or guardian support)
• New and existing SIM card holders
  
  

Even if a person only uses their phone for texts or emergency calls, they still need to register their SIM to keep it active.
