How to apply for SSS UMID Card

The SSS has started the production and issuance of the Unified Multi-Purpose Identification (UMID) card, which contains a contactless chip and magnetic stripe that stores information and can be used when transacting with participating government agencies such as SSS, GSIS, Pag-Ibig and PhilHealth. It is intended to enhance transactions and protect the institution from fraud as it uses biometric technology and fingerprint matching to identify the identity of members.
