2) Provide the required information.
Fill out the SSS online form with the information needed. Make sure that you do not leave a field blank, especially those marked by an asterisk (*). Here are some tips to prevent errors when signing up:
- If your first or last name exceeds the character limit on the form, check your SSS ID or UMID and follow the format used. (If you do have your SSS ID or UMID on hand, you may contact the SSS hotline at 920-6446 to 55. Be ready to verify your account information, as needed.)
- If you do not have a middle name, you can leave the field blank.
- Use the drop-down calendar when inputting your birth date to avoid errors or an incorrect date of birth.
- If you selected “UMID Card” in Step 1 (see above), provide your UMID Card pin code. (You can find more information about the UMID pin code in the FAQs section below.)
- Tick the CAPTCHA box found at the bottom of the page.
- Place a tick on the small box beside the “I accept the Terms of Service” option so you can proceed with the registration.
3) Check your registered email address for the validation notice.
After signing up, check the email address you registered with SSS for the validation and activation email from web.notifications@sss.gov.ph. The notice is usually sent within 30 minutes to an hour after registration. If you have not received an email, check your spam folder.
4) Activate your SSS Online Account.
Check the email notification you received from SSS and click on the activation link provided. You should activate your registered online account immediately. The link you received will expire after five (5) working days if not used right away.
You will be redirected to the page where you need to set up the password for your online SSS account.
Ensure that your chosen password meets the following conditions:
- Password length must be between 8 and 20 alphanumeric characters.
- The first character must be an alphabet.
- You cannot include special characters in your password.
- The password must be different from your chosen User ID.
Once you are done inputting your password, re-type it in the next field to confirm. Click the Submit button to finalize. If both password inputs match, you will be directed to the SSS Online login page.
Input your User ID and password if you wish to log in.

FAQs
Do I need to visit the SSS Main Office at East Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines, to apply for a SSS account?
If you are a new SSS member or intend to be one, you will need to create or open an account first.
However, you do not necessarily need to go to the Main SSS Building (East Avenue, Diliman Office) to do this. You can choose to register online instead.
Go to https://member.sss.gov.ph/ and choose the “Register” option if you do not have an existing account. Follow the instructions and provide the requirements indicated.
Otherwise, if you already have an existing SSS account, you can login using your User ID and password.
Where can I find my UMID pin code?
Your UMID pin code is not found on your ID card. You can set one up by activating your UMID card at a SSS Self-Service Express Terminal (SET) found on selected SSS branches.
What is the CRN on my UMID and what is its purpose?
Every Unified Multi-Purpose ID (UMID) has a Common Reference Number or CRN, which serves as a link to the member’s corresponding account with the Social Security System (SSS), Philhealth, Pag-IBIG Fund (HDMF), and/or GSIS.
The CRN has 12 digits and is unique to every member. This means that even if a member loses his or her UMID card, the CRN is still tied to the member’s account, and will still show the same string of numbers if the member requests for a replacement UMID.
The CRN is found on the upper right portion of the UMID.
Who is eligible to register for an online SSS account?
All existing SSS members are encouraged to set up an online account through the My.SSS Portal. SSS members may belong to one of the following brackets:
- Employees with SSS coverage
- Self-employed or voluntary SSS members
- Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
- Unemployed spouses with at least one month’s posted SSS contribution
