The Ministry of Science and Technology (DOST) Region VI has developed a travel management system called Safe, Swift and Smart Passage or S-PaSS to speed up movement control in the country.

The main purpose of this new travel monitoring system is to create a seamless journey for local travelers to return or visit various places around the country.

It also serves to assist authorities in monitoring the movement of persons and in developing information mechanisms to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Don't know how to register? Continue reading below.

Through the application, LGUs can make it easier for incoming and transit passengers to coordinate with their location. The movement of visitors entering the local destination registered under the S-Pass will be tracked through their unique S-PaSS QR code. When scanning the QR code, the traveler's record is automatically logged into the system and will serve as an electronic logbook. Please note that S-PaSS does not replace the contact tracking system such as StaySafe.ph. However, it serves as an additional application that is used to assess the state of travel restrictions.

S-Pass key feature includes:

  • Travelers can check the travel policy of their destination LGU
  • Apply for a Travel Coordination Permit* (TCP) to the LGU with travel restrictions
  • Conveniently track travel history
  • Quickly access, store, and print travel documents

*TCP replaces previously requires Travel Authority
