The Unified Multi-Purpose ID card was created in compliance with Executive Order No. 420 requiring all government agencies and government owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) to streamline and harmonize their identification system. Meanwhile Executive Order No. 700 appointed the social security identification system as the core of the UMID system.
This single ID card serves as identification for all SSS, GSIS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG members. It is considered as a valid Primary ID for both government and private transactions. Thus, it will be easier for a UMID card holder to transact in government offices and agencies. Furthermore, the card also offers the owner to view SSS data at any SSS Kiosk.
You can apply for a UMID card at any SSS branch near you, if you are a private employee, self-employed or OFW who is an SSS member.

Passport
Driver’s License
