Rules for Filling Out a Blank Biodata Form by Hand
If you are submitting a physical handwritten biodata to an employer, follow these standard Philippine HR guidelines to make sure your document is accepted:
1. Use Black or Dark Blue Ink
Never use pencil, red ink, or gel pens that smudge. Use a standard 0.5mm or 0.7mm black or dark blue ballpoint pen for clear photocopies and file archiving.
2. Write in Block Capital Letters
Print all names, addresses, and numbers in BLOCK CAPITALS. Cursive handwriting is difficult for HR clerks to read and often leads to spelling errors in SSS and PhilHealth enrollments.
3. Never Leave Blank Lines
If a field does not apply to you (e.g., Spouse Name if single, or TIN if first-time job seeker), write “N/A” so the reviewer knows the line was not accidentally skipped.
4. Attach a Formal 2x2 Picture
Do not use cut-out casual selfies. Use a studio-taken 2x2 ID picture wearing formal or semi-formal attire (collared shirt) with a clean white background.
5. Sign Above Your Printed Name
A biodata is a legally binding self-declaration in the Philippines. Sign your customary signature clearly above the printed name line and write the actual date of submission.
6. Keep the Paper Pristine
Place the printed biodata in a clean white or brown long envelope. Do not fold or crease the paper, as wrinkled sheets give an immediate negative impression.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blank Biodata Forms
How do I download or print this blank biodata form?
- Simply click the 'Download / Print Blank Form (PDF)' button on this page. Your browser's print dialog will open with the document pre-formatted for standard A4 or Letter paper. Select 'Save as PDF' to download the blank file or choose your printer to print immediately.
Should I write in print or cursive when filling out a biodata by hand?
- Philippine employers strongly recommend writing in clean, legible BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS using black or blue ballpoint ink. Avoid cursive script, pencil, or correction fluid (whiteout) on official job applications.
What size picture should I attach to the blank biodata?
- Attach a standard 2x2 inch ID picture with a plain white or light blue background, taken within the last 6 months. Wear formal or semi-formal attire (such as a collared polo or blouse).
Is it better to write by hand or use the online Biodata Maker?
- While physical retail, security, and construction jobs accept handwritten forms, typing your biodata online using our free Biodata Maker gives your application a clean, computerized, highly professional look that hiring managers can read without difficulty.
What should I write if I don't have an SSS or TIN number yet?
- If you are a fresh graduate or first-time job seeker without an SSS or TIN number, write 'N/A' (Not Applicable) or 'To Follow Upon Employment'. Under Philippine Republic Act 11261 (First Time Jobseekers Assistance Act), government agencies provide first-time pre-employment documents for free.
