I just want to share with you guys how to get and the requirements for UMID, but before that, let me also share with you my experience just to get this I.D.

I've been getting back and forth to this SSS branch in San Juan to get this done. First of all, I have the requirements needed, yet they didn't accept it.

I explained to them what is a membership I.D and why are they not accepting my Philhealth Card since it has a photo and signature [ and part din to ng requirements, nasa health, and medical card siya] I have the PHIC form also para patunay. Still, they won't accept it. So this officer who reviews your papers for UMID, advise me to get police clearance which is faster.

I get police clearance at Makati Police Station, which is digitized na. Right after that hinihingan pako ng paper form. [yung totoo kuya anong gusto mong patunayan pangatlong beses nakong pabalik balik sa branch niyo]. And so, because I have a paper form na, he accepts my application [SA WAKAS].

Done with the rant, let's go to the most important part of this post which is how to get and the requirements.

First, make sure your SSS membership personal record was updated into BIRTH CERTIFICATE and not as "SPECIAL APPEARANCE", as you're going to update that first before getting into the application of UMID.

For the UMID, please prepare the following requirements and fill-up the form available at the branch.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: You will pass two identification requirements, one of them must have at least A PHOTO AND SIGNATURE. 

- Driver's License
- Passport
- Health or Medical Card [My PhilHealth I.D was not accepted, even my  medical card issued by private companies]
- Membership card issued by private companies [my membership cards like pure gold perks card which was accepted in the bank since it has photo and signature and also my sm advantage card, was not accepted as a membership card]
- I.D Card issued by Local Government Units
- Overseas Worker Welfare Administration
- PHIC Member data record
- Pag-Ibig member's data form
- birth certificate
- Police Clearance (paper form as much as possible but I present Police clearance digitized by Makati police yet the desk officer still asked me for the paper form of  police clearance)
- NBI Clearance
- Postal I.D
- Voter's I.D
- TIN Card [Tax Identification Number]
- Professional Regulation Commission [PRC] Card
- GSIS Card
- Company I.D and School I.D [make sure that it has a signature in it because mine was rejected as it has no signature]
- ATM Card [debit] / passbook
- Credit Card with signature or none


Those are just the requirements that I have to take note of. The process should be easy, there's was no hassle when your requirements are accepted, which is good.
