Any registered resident of the barangay can sign up and use Urban Desk. Barangay staff and officials are given Admin accounts separately by the barangay administrator — they cannot self-register as admins.
Currently: Barangay Clearance (employment or legal), Certificate of Residency (proof of residence), and Certificate of Indigency (free medical or legal assistance). More types may be added in future updates.
Most documents are processed within 1–2 business days. Once approved, your status updates to "Ready for Pickup" in your dashboard. Processing may vary during peak periods or holidays.
When rejected, the admin includes a note explaining the reason — visible in your Track Status page. Common causes: incomplete information, address mismatch, or ineligibility. You may re-submit a corrected request.
Bring a valid government-issued ID and your Request ID number (shown in your dashboard). You can also show the status page on your phone. Staff will match your ID before releasing the document.
