UMID ID REQUIREMENTS – Here are the eligibility criteria and documents needed in getting a Unified Multi-Purpose Identification card.
One of the most popular and flexible IDs in the Philippines is the Unified Multi-Purpose Identification card or better called as the UMID ID.
The UMID ID is the single identification card for the members of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Social Security System (SSS), the Pag-IBIG Fund, and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).
The UMID ID is requested from the Social Security System or SSS, one of the biggest state-run social insurance institutions in the country. It replaced the SSS ID and is usually released within 30 days after the application was filed at the state-run social insurance agency.
