How to Get SSS ID card in the Philippines? Requirements and Procedure

The requirements and procedure on how to get an SSS ID card in the Philippines are listed in this page. SSS ID is one of the most acceptable IDs or government IDs required when transacting anywhere in the Philippines. SSS ID card is an accepted valid ID wherever you go so it is important to have one.

It is free and no charge to get this identification card by the way, and all you have to do is go to the SSS branch near you and follow the steps discussed below.

SSS has also joined the feature of UMID ID which is a single ID which comprises SSS, GSIS, Pagibig and Philhealth account in one ID. You can use this card in transacting to the mentioned government agencies nationwide. In this page, I’m gonna discuss the regular SSS ID card issued to all SSS members.

Take note that the same requirements and processing is applied in getting UMID card too. When I got SSS ID card, they issued UMID card already. Read this page to know more about how to get UMID Card for SSS, GSIS, Pagibig and Philhealth: “How to Get UMID Card – Requirements and Procedures”

Before you can get your ID, make sure you are already a member of the Social Security System otherwise you cannot proceed. If you are not a member yet, register now for your SSS number and start your contributions.

Advantages of having SSS ID card

  • You already have one valid ID you can use for life as this has no expiration date like that of a Voter’s ID
  • You can view your contributions anytime to any SSS kiosk just by swiping this ID
  • This serves as your main reference and identification when transacting at SSS or any government agency or office
  • You can use this ID when applying for other IDs in the Philippines – like passport, driver’s license, Philhealth, Pagibig, TIN, visa, licenses, seaman’s book, and many more

  • Fully accomplished application form (E-6)

Any of the following valid IDs:

  • Senior’s Citizen ID
  • NBI Clearance

Steps in Getting the SSS ID

  • Submit the application form at the SSS branch near you for your assessment and verification together with your valid ID or supporting documents (if you don’t have any ID)
  • Have your fingerprints and signature taken.
  • Then your acknowledgement slip will be given to you by the employee when you’re finished.
  • You’re done. Just wait for your SSS Id card delivered to you at your home address.

    • malamang e-1 ang meron ka. Para Yun kasi sa mga nag apply ng work. Punta ka sss branch gamit dating sss # mo iapply mo yon bilang self employed (kunwari). Yung mga voluntary member ibig sabihin dati nung nagwwork sila hinuhulugan ng employer Yung sss nla tapos nawala sa trabaho Kaya itutuloy nya Yung pagbabayad voluntarily.

    Please define active member figuratively.

    • You’re no longer active member if your last contribution was on 2007. I suggest you resume it to become active again

  63. I went earlier to the SSS office near my place, after successfully completing the process, I asked one of the staff there about how long will I be waiting for the ID to be delivered to me… then I was advised that it will be delivered at the address I have provided within 6 months. My question is: Why does it need to take 6 months for the ID to be delivered to me? 6 months is ridiculously long just for an ID.

      • Hi Ma’am,
        Same issue like Ma. Rina Castillo po, actually since 2010 pa po ako nakakuha ng SSS.nakapag follow up na po ako years ago pero wala pa rin po dumadating kaya now ‘di ko na rin po naasikaso. Possible pa po ba kayang makuha ung SSS ID Card after 4 years or kung pwede na lang pong mag-apply ng UMID Card na automatically replaces the old SSS ID Card na hindi ko pa na-receive?
        Ano po kaya maganda at maire-recommend niyo? Kung okay lang po ba na mas maganda kung UMID Card na lang or mas maganda po na may UMID Card ka na plus nasa iyo pa ‘yung SSS ID Card para kung sakaling mawala man ung UMID eh may backup po ng luma?
        Eh pagkakaalam ko po kasi, hindi na po ini-issue ‘yung SSS ID Card alone na pinalitan na nila ng UMID Card. Tama po ba ‘yun?

        Thanks

    • If you don’t have SSS number yet, get one sa SSS branch near you. You need to become active member in order to apply SSS ID card / UMID card. If you’re not employed yet, register as Voluntary Member then pay your contributions (see SSS contribution table 2014). Since you’re voluntary member, you can pay the contributions you can afford. Pay monthly or quarterly and never missed a month so you can remain active and receive benefits in the future.

    • Since you are employed, then your employer will deduct you some amount every month from your salary as your contribution in SSS. You don’t need to report payment at the SSS then as long as you’re employed. ALl you need to do is monitor your SSS account by checking your Employee Static info so you’re aware about your contributions

  130. Ako po ang nag-file ng funeral claim para sa isang SSS member na namatay last November, 2013.
    Di agad na-process dahil TEMPORARY daw ang SSS number nya at nanghingi pa sila ng authenticated birth or baptismal certificate ng deceased, which i submitted last January 29, 2014 lang.
    I-verify ko raw sa kanila after 4 weeks kung naging PERMANENT na yung SSS number, so the funeral claim can be processed.
    I went there last March 20, 2014 (after 6 weeks), hindi pa rin daw sya permanent.
    I asked what could be the cause of delay, hindi rin nila alam.
    So, bumalik na lang daw ako every now and then to verify.

    Question: After submitting the required documents para maging permanent yung SSS number, gaano ba talaga katagal bago ito maging permanent? Kung matagalan man than expected, what could really be the cause of delay?

Pwede po ba ako mag-avail ng SSS ID card kahit wala pa pong contribution? passport lang po kasi meron ako. Thank you very much po!

    • You already have SSS number if you had E1 form (the pink one as your receiving copy). If you wish to get UMID Card, you need to be an active member of SSS, meaning you need to be paying monthly contributions. If you are currently unemployed, register as Voluntary Member to become an active member and pay your contributions

    • Bring your NSO Birth Certificate orig. and photocopy and download E1 form to see the other requirements at the back if you don’t have primary ID

  137. Applying for SSS, presented 3 forms of 2ndry ID, ( Barangay, NBI, Baptismal cert,), but they insist must have Birth Certificate. Cannot issue SSS without this. Is this right, because not what you write here ?

    • Hi there. Your name and surname is kinda confusing so maybe they didn’t know which was your surname and name. I suggest you go to the SSS office who handles your membership and bring your NSO birth certificate. Request your name to be corrected. Every office in the Philippines base their records and personal info of the member from their NSO birth certificate. It is important to be consistent para maiwasan nadin problema sa ibang ahensya like getting a passport and IDs. Fix your name issue asap po. I hope my advice helped you. 🙂

    Naapprove na po kasi yung application for visa ko and naghihintay na lang ako ng date for the interview. May kailangan po kasing form na sagutan at may SS number. Hindi ko po sure kung ilalagay ko yung SSS number ko kahit hindi pa po talaga ako official na member ng SSS. Ilalagay ko po ba?

    • Hi there. Yes you can put your SSS number at the visa application or your bank account application. We only have one SSS number for life so it won’t change anymore whether you’re active member or not. If you’re applying for working visa and asked you why you have SSS though you’re not employed, just tell them you got the number when you were still a student. Always be honest on the interview and filling up your forms and you won’t have a problem. Anyway, you mentioned you’re a fresh graduate.

    • You need to be an active SSS member before you can get an SSS ID card or UMID. If you are currently unemployed, register yourself at the SSS as Voluntary Member. Bring your SSS E1 that was issued by the SSS and register as voluntary aka individual paying member. Pay your contributions and apply ID card after 3 months. I’m not sure if the requirement is 3 months because I applied for my ID after many years of being an SSS member. I don’t really need the ID kasi

  187. Hi,
    I went to the SSS Espana Branch to apply for my UMID. i came there with my e6 form already filled up. When my turn at counter C, the guy at the table found out that my middle name is not complete (only my middle initial is encripted in the computer). So he politely ask me to have my middle name updated at window B, he also told me that since i brought along with me supporting documents, i dont need to get a queue number and i can go to him directly without getting another queue number.
    I proceeded to counter B and waited for my queue number to be called. It was quick, my number was called within 15 minutes. At the counter, i asked the lady to ammend my middle name. Upon checking my records in her computer, she found out that the date of birth in their records doesnt match (March 17, 1957 instead of March 18, 1957!!!) she asked for any identification and docs. I handed her my Postal ID (the easiest ID to get). She said that this is only seconary document and asked me if i have my baptismal certifucate. I do have a photocopy but no origina. I showed her the photocopy.
    She then told me that SSS cannot proceed with the process and that i have to go to Hagonoy, Bulacan Local Registrars Office to get a new Baptismal Certificate.
    This, despite showing her my original marriage certificate, bank book, expired passport, diploma and transcript of records, old emplyment id’s, etc.
    What a harrowing experience for just trying to get an ID.
    I left SSS for home very disappointed. What do i do next? I am a jobless former OFW and just thinking of more expenses just to correct some data to get get my UMID processed is disheartening.

    Please help.

    Thank you.

    • You’re not alone with that kind of problem. I know some people who had related experience. The solution to your problem is to correct your birth certificate. All our documents, IDs, diploma, passport, etc depend and base on the details in our Birth certificate. So for consistency, you must start correcting your birth certificate. That starts from your LCR (Local Civil Registrar) office. Go to the Municipal’s Office where you were born and tell your BC corrections to the LCR staff. The LCR staff usually know what to do already since they deal same problems everyday. Usual process of this is they edit the correct birth and endorse the correction to the NSO Main. So they will forward a letter of endorsement to the NSO head Office. You need to wait probably around 3 months or so until your correct birthday was entered. Once it’s done, then you can get a new NSO authenticated birth certificate from any NSO and you can use this in the SSS or other offices you need to deal. I don’t know if it still takes about 3 months – maybe yes or maybe not. I hope it’s faster today. hehe

      • Bring original and photocopy of valid ID and NSO birth certificate at the SSS branch near you and fill up E1 form. Submit the form together with your photocopy requirements. Wait for your SSS number to be issued on the E1 form which will be given to you by SSS. Keep that for life.

    • SSS ID is not really required as long as you have active SSS account and you are eligible for salary loan. You can apply for SSS ID card by going to the SSS and yes take the same time to check if you’re eligible for a loan. 🙂

    • When you filed E1, your SSS Number then will be issued. Check your SSS Number on your copy of E1 form and give that number to your employer. We are only allowed 1 SSS number for life

    • If you have valid IDs, no need na. Fill up the application form and submit photocopies of IDs, show the original, and get verified by the SSS employee

        • If you already have contributions, you may get an ID. I got my ID after a month after I applied but I’ve been contributing for like 5 years or so. It’s ok if you don’t have an ID as long as you have an SSS Number and you are an active member

    • All you need to do is bring valid ID when you go to the SSS for the UMID. Fill out the form (which will they provide) and wait for your turn to be called to verify your account, then get your picture, signature and fingerprints if you’ve been okayed for ID

  199. Hi. I worked last Oct 2007 until March 2009 & my contributions were complete during those days. However, from March 2009, until the present, I have not made any (personal) contributions. What should I do if I want to continue with my contributions considering that I am no longer working? Also, can I still apply for an SSS card despite the fact that I have not contributed from March 2009 until the present? Thank you so so much.

    • I suggest you switch to voluntary member since you’re not working anymore. It’s a common mistake people stop paying their SSS when they stopped working. Being active no matter what your status (voluntary, employed etc) will give sure benefits.

    • I THINK you need to be an active SSS member before you can get one. You can update your status by becoming a Voluntary Member if you’re not employed. Sayang naman contributions mo if you’ll stop. Besides being an active member will make you eligible for benefits.

    • you just need to fill up another UMID application form, get an affidavit of loss and have it notarized by an attorney (sabihin mo lang sa attorney or legal dept ng city hall mo na magpapagawa ka ng affidavit of loss dahil nawalan ka ng sss id, yung ibang sss branch sila nagpoprovide sila ng affidavit of loss form then ikaw na ang magpapanotaryo), then R6 form for a replacement fee of 300php. I suggest na iaccomplish mo na yung affidavit of loss bago ka pumunta ng SSS branch nearest you para pag pumunta ka pipila ka na lang sa teller para magbayad, then sa Generalist counter for screening and then diretso ka na sa Dat capture to have your biometrics taken. And also don’t forget to bring 2 valid IDs (not expired) para di ka pabalikbalik 🙂

        • You need to apply for UMID Card at the SSS office, I suggest you apply at your branch. SSS ID card is now the UMID card. Same instructions discussed above. You need to be an active SSS member. God bless!

    • When I applied for SSS ID (UMID) they checked my application form and the xerox copies of my IDs then they checked my account on their computer. There is no specific requirement that a member must have contributed to have an ID card but I think you must at least paid contributions in order to become active because why would they allow you to have ID if you are an inactive member right? It doesn’t make sense just saying. Anyway that is just my opinion but if I will go to the SSS, I will ask someone about that question 🙂

    • E1 Form is for the application of SSS Number. If you already have SSS Number and you want to apply for SSS ID card or UMID Card, just fill out an application form for getting an SSS ID (the form is free and they will give you one if you go to the SSS). Make sure you are bringing the listed requirements discussed in the article above, too.

      You can add an employee using the R3 Program when you pay. Just list the new employee with the corresponding status. If you are not familiar with this, read the page about SSS R3 Program and Generating File. We made a separate page for that topic. See it at the related articles here
