The ID clearance is a small paper with your schedule for the ID Capture. This is a first come first serve basis, so the earlier you get your queue number, the better.

The ID capture will only take a few minutes, then the SSS clerk will then get your personal information: signatures, fingerprint, and 4-digit pin number.
