DITO SIM Registration (Form link) Online 2024

The DITO SIM Card Registration Act (Republic Act No. 11934) was signed into law by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on October 10, 2022. The law requires all SIM card holders to register their SIM cards with their respective telecom providers to combat cybercrimes, scams, and other fraudulent activities.

The implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the law were released by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) by December 2022. The registration process began on December 27, 2022, and mobile subscribers, including DITO users, were given until April 26, 2023, to register their SIM cards. This deadline was later extended to July 25, 2023, due to a large number of unregistered users.
