Our company HR kept on reminding us to secure UMID in lieu of the old SSS ID. I sent my application and copies of government IDs to them. Then they asked me to fill out an Affidavit of Loss in lieu of surrendering my old SSS ID. I complied. However, months passed but I still was not advised for the schedule of the ID capturing. My name was not included in the list of approved for ID capture.
I decided to do it myself. I checked SSS website on the procedure and downloaded the forms needed. Click here to visit their website. I used the editable form of the UMID application form and printed it out. You may also get a copy of the form there at Robinsons Fuente and fill it out. Here is how it looks like:
The back portion of the form:
Identification cards accepted:
a. Any one (1) of the following primary documents:
▪ Driver's License
▪ Passport
▪ Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) card

Below is the procedure based on how I processed mine today. Take note, I already have an old SSS ID which has my single name yet, so I processed my UMID to reflect my married name.
1. Completely fill out the UMID Card Application Form using the editable pdf file or print out and manually fill out using back or blue pen. No erasures are permitted.
2. Bring a valid ID and a photocopy of it. I used my passport (reflecting my married name).
3. Bring the old SSS ID, which will be surrendered to them. If you do not want to surrender it, have a notarized Affidavit of Loss.
4. I went to Robinsons Fuente Cebu around 9:30am and obtained a priority number from the guard stationed at the entrance near Handyman.
5. By 10:00 am, the department store opened. I went to 3rd floor Lingkod Pinoy Center and waited for my number to be called. Don't worry, its really quick.
6. I presented my filled out UMID Card application form. The lady asked for my original passport and old SSS ID. Then gave me R-6 Form for payment.
7. I filled up the R-6 Form (SSS Miscellaneous Payment Form) in 4 copies then pay at Robinsons Bank which is just one floor below. I paid Php 300.00 as fee for replacement of ID. It was considered as replacement already since I have previous SSS ID. For new applicants, its for free.
8. I presented back the documents to the window together with the payment receipt. It was turned over to the SSS guy for approval of capturing.
9. I was told to go inside the cubicle for finger scanning, signature capture and ID capture. During photo taking, no earrings or eyeglass allowed. Long hair is tied up. After, the lady incharge checked with me again if my address in the form is correct.
10. Claim form was given to me and I was told the UMID will be delivered to my permanent address reflected in the form after 3 months.
I was done in only about 30 minutes. I went out of Robinsons Fuente by 10:30am.
