NCSC Senior Citizen Online Registration Guide for 2025

After a lifetime of working and raising families, our senior citizens deserve to retire with respect and dignity. That is why the Philippine government established the National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC) to look out for the well-being of our aging loved ones.

The NCSC was formed in 2019 by virtue of Republic Act No. 11350, which aims to establish a government body that protects the rights of senior citizens, ensures the implementation of laws and policies for seniors, and promotes their general welfare. It is under the direct control and supervision of the Office of the President.

To help in the formulation of laws, policies and programs that benefit senior citizens, the NCSC is building a database of Filipino senior citizens called the “Elderly Database Management System.” All seniors aged 60 years old and above are invited to register online via the NCSC website.

Don’t know how to register to the NCSC as a senior citizen? Our handy guide will help you with the NCSC senior citizen online registration process from start to finish, whether you’re registering yourself or on behalf of an elderly.
