Document background
The Postal Id Authorization Letter is a crucial document in the Philippine legal framework that facilitates the procurement of postal identification when the principal cannot personally appear at a PHLPost office. This document became particularly important following the implementation of Republic Act No. 7354 (The Postal Service Act of 1992) and subsequent PHLPost regulations governing postal identification systems. The letter must include specific details about both the principal and the authorized representative, the exact scope of authorization, and must be notarized to ensure legal validity. It's commonly used when individuals are unable to personally appear due to illness, being overseas, or other valid reasons, allowing them to delegate the application or collection process while maintaining security and legal compliance with Philippine identification document procedures.
