School Identification (ID) Number
The School Identification (ID) Number is a unique and permanent six-digit number assigned to any educational institution offering basic education in the Philippines.
To acquire a School ID, the institution must offer Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High School, Senior High School, and/or a combination of these education levels.
The school must also secure an approved permit to operate from the Regional Office, and be categorized as one of the following:
- A DepEd-managed school (with predefined plantilla positions);
- Operated by a State University or College (SUC) or a Local University or College (LUC);
- Managed by a government agency other than DepEd (for example: DOST, NCCA, or LGU, among others); or
- A private education institution registered under Philippine corporation laws.

Add a School Profile
As soon as a new school becomes operational, you can create its profile and register it in the EBEIS system environment.
Encoding Roles & Permissions
- Only the Regional Office (RO) can enlist and encode new school profiles.
- The school and the Schools Division Office (SDO) can edit the existing or newly created school profile once the region finishes creating the baseline profile.
- If the school received a School ID from the previous school year but failed to create their school profile, they must request a new School ID from their respective RO.
- The school must possess either a recognition or a valid permit to operate for the current school year to receive a new School ID.
- The RO processes the request; once done, the school shall use the new School ID and completely disregard the old one.
You can add the following school classifications into the EBEIS directory:
- Public integrated schools (offering both elementary and secondary levels including Senior High School);
- Elementary schools (public, private, and SUC/LUC, offering Kinder to Grade 6); and
- Secondary schools (public, private, and SUC/LUC, offering Junior High School, Senior High School, or both).
Schools SHOULD NOT contact the Central Office (CO) directly to add or edit their profiles in the EBEIS. SDOs MUST NOT refer any school directly to the CO to request modifications in EBEIS profiles. All requests must go through the proper Regional Office channel.
