ffide doesn't replace the Insurance Commission's registry. We mirror it, make it searchable, and link every license back to its source PDF so consumers can confirm an agent before they sign.
The Insurance Commission of the Philippines publishes the list of licensed agents as a PDF at insurance.gov.ph. New rosters drop irregularly — sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly.
Our daily check on insurance.gov.ph picks up new publications. The PDF gets parsed; every row becomes a license entry tied to a professional and a company. We capture the IC document date and the IC record number per row so every entry on ffide cross-references back to the exact published file.
Search by name, IC record, or company. The matcher tokenises your query — "atienza r" matches "Randolph Edlagan Atienza" without you needing the exact order or spelling.
Every profile carries the IC-Listed badge — shown only while the person has an active license on the latest roster — plus a "Last verified" date telling you when the IC most recently confirmed it. Each license card links directly to the source PDF so you can cross-check what we show against what the IC actually published.
