Your ID Photo Isn’t Clear Enough

  • Blurry or out‑of‑focus image
  • Parts of the ID are cut off
  • Too dark or too bright
  • Glare or reflection blocking the text or photo

Tip: Take the photo in natural light with no glare. Make sure all text and your photo on the ID are readable.

Wrong or Unsupported ID Format

The registration system usually accepts specific file types and sizes.

Make sure your ID photo is in JPG or PNG format

2

Keep the file not too big (usually under 5 MB)

ID Doesn’t Meet the Requirements

TNT SIM registration requires a valid government‑issued photo ID.

IDs that might be considered invalid:

  • School or company ID (unless government‑issued)
  • Printed paper copies of IDs
  • Damaged, faded, or unreadable IDs
  • IDs without a photo or missing name details

If the ID isn’t accepted as valid by the system, you’ll see an error.

Tip: Use a passport, Philippine ID, driver’s license, or other government‑issued photo ID.

Your Information Doesn’t Match Your ID

The system cross‑checks the details you typed against what’s on your ID.

If your name, birthday, or other info doesn’t match exactly, it may flag your ID as invalid.

Example mistakes:

  • Misspelled name
  • Wrong format for birthdate
  • Missing middle name or suffix
  • Typing extra spaces

Tip: Type everything exactly the same as your ID.

Glare or Reflection on the ID

One of the most common reasons for “Invalid ID” is glare on your ID photo — especially if you took it under bright light, sunlight, or flash.

Glare can make parts of your ID unreadable, so the system rejects it.

Fix it this way:

1

Take the photo in a shaded area

2

Avoid flash

3

Tilt the ID slightly so light reflects away from the camera

Camera Permissions or Upload Errors

Sometimes your phone or browser blocks the camera or upload process.

Try using a different device

Try another browser if you’re on a computer

Temporary System Glitches

Occasionally the portal itself is having issues. If everything looks right but you still get “Invalid ID”:

  • Wait a few minutes and try again
  • Restart your browser or app
  • Try registering during off‑peak hours

Network traffic or server delays can cause temporary errors.

How to Upload a Valid ID That Works

Here’s a quick step‑by‑step you can follow:

  • Lay your ID on a flat surface
  • Make sure there’s good, even lighting
  • Use your phone camera — don’t zoom too close
  • Take a clear, steady photo of the whole ID
  • Check the photo — can you read everything?
  • Save as JPG or PNG if possible
  • Upload and check your details before submitting

This solves most “Invalid ID” errors.

FAQs
