2026 update: Looking for the UMID application form PDF? The old SSS UMID Card Application Form is still useful as a historical/reference document, but new SSS card applications no longer use the old branch-based UMID application process. SSS now issues the MySSS Card, which replaces new generic UMID and UMID Pay Card issuance.
If you already have an old UMID card, you do not need to replace it just because the MySSS Card was introduced. SSS says previously issued SSS and UMID cards remain valid.
UMID Application Form PDF Download
Below is the previously used UMID Card Application Form. You may view or download the PDF for reference. Do not assume that downloading and completing this form is the current way to apply for a new SSS card in 2026.
Is the UMID Application Form Still Used in 2026?
For new SSS card applications, no. SSS has introduced the MySSS Card as its new official functional ID and discontinued new generic UMID Card and UMID Pay Card issuance. The current application starts through the My.SSS Member Portal and uses National ID eVerify for identity verification.
This means older instructions telling applicants to complete the UMID form, visit an SSS branch for biometric capture, and submit the form under the old UMID process should not be followed as the current procedure.
How to Apply for an SSS Card Now

What Is the MySSS Card?
The MySSS Card is an EMV-equipped functional ID linked to an account with an SSS partner bank. It can serve as the applicant’s main account for receiving SSS benefits, loans and refunds. SSS currently identifies RCBC as the first partner bank, with additional partner banks expected to follow.
Are Old UMID Cards Still Valid?
Yes. SSS states that previously issued SSS and UMID cards remain valid. Existing cardholders are not required to discard their UMID simply because the MySSS Card has been introduced.
