How it works
From a public IC roster to a fast, verifiable check.
ffide mirrors the Insurance Commission's registry, makes it searchable, and links every license back to its source PDF — so anyone can verify an advisor before working with them.
- 01
The IC publishes a roster
The Insurance Commission of the Philippines publishes its licensed agents as PDF rosters on insurance.gov.ph. Publication is irregular — there is no fixed schedule — so the source of truth moves whenever the regulator updates it.
- 02
We import it as soon as it appears
We monitor the IC website daily. When a new roster is published we parse the PDF and create linked license entries — each carrying its document date and record number, so every field is traceable back to the exact page it came from.
- 03
Search finds the right person
Search matches against professional name, IC record number, or insurance company, with tokenized matching so partial and out-of-order queries still resolve to the right advisor.
- 04
Verify, then verify the verification
Each profile shows the IC-Listed badge, a “last verified” date, and a direct link to the source PDF — so you can cross-check what we show against the regulator's own document.
What ffide is not
Not a registry
The Insurance Commission is the registry. ffide is a searchable mirror of what the IC publishes.
Not a marketplace
No referral fees, no paid ranking. Placement is never for sale.
Not a guarantee
A license confirms accreditation with the IC — it is not an endorsement of any advice or product.
Not real-time
Updates depend on when the IC publishes a new roster. We show the source document date so you always know how current a record is.
