ACR Registration & Certification

Foreign nationals staying in the Philippines for over 59 days are mandated to register with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to obtain an Alien Certificate of Registration Identity Card (ACR I-Card). This credit-card-sized, microchip-based ID serves as proof of legal residency, with registration required within 30 days of arrival.

Annual Report (A.R)

All registered foreign nationals in the Philippines holding long-term visas (ACR I-Card holders) must file an Annual Report (A.R) with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) within the first 60 days of every calendar year—specifically from January 1 to March 1, 2026. Failure to report can result in fines, penalties, or cancellation of the ACR I-Card.

ACR I-CARD Issuance / Renewal / Re-Issuance

ACR I-CARD issuance, renewal, and re-issuance are processed through the Bureau of Immigration (BI) for foreign nationals legally residing in the Philippines. Renewals are typically annual or upon visa changes, while re-issuance applies to lost, stolen, or damaged cards. Applications are filed at the main office or authorized field offices, with processing times taking roughly 14–20 working days.
