Civil service eligibles may now obtain their certification from the Civil Service Commission (CSC) regional offices (RO), through a new online database.
In a news statement issued on Monday, CSC Chairperson Karlo B. Nograles said they decided to launch their Internal Civil Service Eligibility Verification System (iCSEVS) to make it more convenient for their clients to avail of their Certification of Eligibility (COE).
The iCSEVS contain the data of the passers of Career Service Pen and Paper Test and Computerized Examinations, and those granted special eligibility under special laws and CSC issuances nationwide.
“It will be easier for our citizens to get their eligibility records since they can get it from any of the CSC Regional Office. This includes getting authenticated copies of the COE,” Nograles said in Filipino.
The Commission has 16 regional offices.
It noted, however, its field offices couldn’t issue COEs, while its Central Office can only do so if “required by the Courts or other investigating bodies, through a Subpoena Duces Tecum, and an Order and/or a Written Request by the CSC Executive Offices and Office for Legal Affairs.”
To boost public transparency and accountability, CSC is also set to launch its External Civil Service Eligibility Verification System (eCSEVS) on its web site this year.
The system will allow the public to view the type of eligibility obtained by an individual.
Nograles said both the iCSEVS and the eCSEVS are part of CSC’s initiatives to digitize and streamline services to better serve their clients.
