SSS Requirements for ID Registration in 2024

To apply for an SSS ID in the Philippines, you need to provide several documents to prove your identity and eligibility. The main requirement is an authentic and valid primary ID.

However, if you do not have a primary ID, you must present two valid secondary IDs. Now, let me discuss, what these primary and secondary IDs include. The list is as follows:

Primary ID Includes:

Unified Multi-Purpose ID (UMID) Card or previous Social Security Card (for replacement or upgrade)
Driver’s license
Philippine passport
Postal Identity Card
NBI clearance
Alien Certificate of Registration
Seafarer’s Identification and Record Book (Seaman’s Book)
Firearm Registration
Permit to carry firearms outside residence
Firearm Ownership and Possession License

Secondary ID Includes:

Pag-IBIG Member’s Data Form
TIN ID
Police clearance
PhilHealth Member’s data record (MDR)
School or company ID
Birth certificate

PRC license
Barangay/Municipal/City ID
Fisherman’s card
Certificate from the Office of Indigenous People
Seafarer’s Registration Certificate

If you don’t have any of the primary IDs that I listed above, you can present two valid secondary IDs with your signature. Also, make sure that one of the secondary IDs includes a photograph of yourself. By gathering all the relevant details, you can apply for the Social Security System (SSS) ID.

(Please ensure that you bring the original copies of your selected IDs as photocopies are not allowed)
