How to Apply for UMID (Unified Multi-Purpose ID)?

UMID stands for Unified Multi-Purpose ID.

The Philippine government is adopting this ID in order to harmonize and streamline the identification systems to all government agencies and government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs).

The first to implement the UMID card is the GSIS. This ID will soon be the only ID card that you need to transact with SSS, GSIS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG.

Want to know how to apply for UMID (Unified Multi-Purpose ID) Card? Follow the steps below.

Bring the needed requirements:
 
a.) Bring any of the primary valid ID's:
     
     > Passport
     > PRC Card

     > school/company ID
     > Postal ID

Frequently Asked Questions

Is UMID the "national ID"?
  • No. It's a mere result of inter-agency efforts to give convenience in government transactions and to save cost of service delivery.

"While possession of the UMID card and/or ownership of a Common Reference Number can facilitate transactions with government, under no condition shall the absence of the card or the CRN be a ground for denying any government service to an individual."

Hello po. My mom is a retired teacher. She had lost her UMID GSIS card because it was stolen. I tried fixing things for her but upon reaching union bank the manager says they can't replace the card since it must be done personally. The problem is, my mom can't leave the house by herself and she needs oxygen before she can leave the house. Is there any other way to replace her card without her appearance? She will soon be a pensioner and she can only get it from her UMID GSIS atm card. Hope you could help. Thanks in advance.
