SSS now open to receive UMID Card Application

Good news! After 18 months of quarantine restriction, SSS has now resumed accepting UMID Card Application and Biometric Capturing.

1. Branch walk in. Following the mandatory Branch number Coding for over-the-counter transactions.

Who may Apply for the UMID Card?

  • Only covered SSS members with at least 1 posted contribution can file an application for UMID Card.
  • Members who lost their UMID Cards or who need to update their Cards (due to change of name, correction of personal details, etc) may also apply for new cards, subject to payment of Php200 replacement fee at the SSS Branch during their respective appointments.

For members who applied for an SSS Number online beginning December 10, 2020:

  • they do not need to fill out the UMID Application Form
  • they just need to schedule an appointment for biometric data capture through the My.SSS Appointment System. On the day of their appointment, they need to present their printed SSS Number application and the transaction number slip.

Note: Those who prefer manual application in branches will still be accommodated, following the branch number coding scheme.

Disclaimer: SSS may have resumed the SSS UMID Application, but there will still be expected delays inthe production of UMID Cards. Rest assured that notifications will be immediately made to members once their cards become available for pick-up.

Beware of fixers and scammers. You should personally apply for your SSS UMID since, your biometrics will be captured during your application. There is no Rush UMID Application!
