1 day ago 6

To apply for a UMID (Unified Multi-Purpose ID) card in the Philippines, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Required Documents:

Fully accomplished UMID Card Application Form (can be downloaded from the SSS website).
Original and photocopy of one primary valid ID such as:
- Passport
- Driver’s License
- SSS Card
- Postal ID
- Voter’s ID
- NBI Clearance
- Seaman’s Book
If you do not have a primary ID, bring two secondary valid IDs with your photo and signature (e.g., school or company ID, senior citizen card, TIN ID, birth certificate)

2. Schedule an Appointment or Walk-in:

You can schedule an appointment online via your My.SSS account for biometric capture at your preferred SSS branch.
Alternatively, you can walk in at any SSS branch that accepts UMID applications, but be aware of the branch's number coding system for walk-ins based on your SSS number

3. Submit Your Application and Enroll Biometrics:

Bring your completed application form and IDs to the SSS or GSIS branch.
The staff will verify your documents and capture your photo, signature, and fingerprints.
You will receive an acknowledgment receipt after biometrics enrollment

4. Wait for Notification and Claim Your UMID Card:

You will receive a text message or notification when your UMID card is ready for pickup.
Claim your UMID card at the branch where you applied within 60 days of notification

The UMID card consolidates your SSS, GSIS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund IDs into one card.
It is important to bring your email or phone number for updates.
GSIS members can apply similarly at GSIS branches

This process ensures you have a single government-issued ID for multiple agencies, simplifying transactions and access to benefits
