If you need to do some paperwork like opening bank accounts, opening investment accounts or something else, you will most likely need a valid government ID. There’s a lot of valid IDs you can use like your driver’s license, passport, voter’s ID, postal ID, and a few others.

One of the most important IDs you can use, however, is the Social Security System (SSS) Unified Multi-Purpose Identification (UMID) or SSS UMID. I got my SSS number long before 2010 when this ID was first implemented so I only recently applied for mine last December 2018. If you’re in a similar situation, then this guide is for you.

You’ll first need to register for an SSS number for this, but once you’ve already done that getting your UMID should be easy. Here’s how to get an SSS UMID Card.

How to get an SSS UMID in the Philippines

1. Before you go to the SSS branch, make sure you’re prepared:

  • Remember your SSS number.
  • Know when your preferred SSS branch is open, and if it has UMID enrollment facilities (here’s a list). Remember that most government offices aren’t open on weekends and holidays.
  • Try to go to the branch early. If there’s a lot of people, you might not make the cutoff for the day as they can only serve a limited number of people a day.
  • Bring valid IDs. Any ONE (1) of the following: Driver’s License, Passport, PRC Card, or Seaman’s book. If not, check the list below and bring at least two. Make sure your IDs are still valid and not expired!
  • If you can, bring some extra IDs just in case. While it’s not necessary, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
  • Also, consider registering for an online My.SSS account. Just go to: https://www.sss.gov.ph/.  You can check your contributions, apply for salary loans, and do a lot of other things there.
Bring IDs for your SSS ID application!

While you’re at the SSS branch, get the UMID application form and fill it up. They should have some copies at the front desk or somewhere else, and this is how the form should look like. (I’ve saved a copy so you’d know what kind of information you will need.)

2. Once you’ve filled out your form, look for the UMID application window (ask the front desk to know where it is, as well as get a queue number if needed like in the SM Aura branch). Submit your form there.

Take note that it should be free if this is your first SSS ID or UMID application. If it’s a lost ID and you’re trying to get a new one, you’ll need to pay at least P200.

3. After submitting your form, go to the biometrics area where they’ll take your picture, fingerprints, and signature. They will need that information for your UMID.

4. After taking your biometrics, you’re done! Your UMID will likely be delivered by mail (like mine). It’ll usually take two months. I applied for my UMID late last December 2018 and they mailed it to our house by mid-January 2019. Here’s what the letter looks like:

A few disclaimers: I don’t own any of the SSS forms, graphics and logos here. They belong to the Philippine SSS. Also, some information may get outdated. If there are any changes, tell me in the comments so we can fix it!
