How to Register in SSS Online?

Skip the lines now, and trust the technology! But before we dig deeper on the step by step procedure, you have to remember a few things.

First, it is highly recommended to use the Internet Explorer 11 browser instead of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Based on our trials, the SSS portal worked best and faster using the Internet Explorer 11.

On the other hand, you can still use Google Chrome especially if you’re not really mindful of the time spent online.

Here are the steps on how to register your SSS number online and get yourself a profile on the online portal:

Step 1: Visit the SSS online registration website:

The first thing you need to do is to go to the SSS website member.sss.gov.ph/members. When you get to the page, you have to click on the button “Member” then click the link that says “Register in My.SSS”

Once you have clicked on the link, you have to be ready with the following information to make your registration easier and faster:

Savings Account Number / Citibank Cash Card / UPB Quick Card / UMID – ATM Savings Account Number that is registered in SSS
SSS Registered Mobile Number
UMID Card (if you have one)
Employer ID Number or Household Employer ID Number
Paid PRN (Payment Reference Number) or Payment Receipt Transaction Number
Date of Loan with Load Balance
Cheque number of SSS monthly pension

Step 2: Fill up all the fields in the SSS online form:

When you’re ready with the information listed above, you can now proceed to filling up the Online Member User ID Registration. Here’s what the registration page looks like:

You have to make sure that you leave no blanks, especially on the required fields with asterisks. If you don’t have a middle name, you can leave it blank.

Also, make sure to double check all of the information provided because incorrect information and even misspelled words means that you need to request a member data change. To skip this hassle, double checking your information should always be done.

When you’re all set, enter the CAPTCHA code and tick the check box for “I accept the Terms of Service”. Then, you can now click on the submit button to register your account. Wait for an email confirmation to confirm the successful registration of your SSS online account.

Step 3: Check your registered email address

Now that you have filled out all the required information for your online registration, all you need to do is wait for the email confirmation after 30 minutes.

Step 4: Have your My.SSS account activated

You have received your email from [email protected] and now, it’s time to activate your account! Make sure to activate your account as soon as you receive the email because the activation link will expire after 5 days.

Once you have clicked on the link, you will be redirected to a page where you need to set your password. You will also have to re-type your password to confirm that they match. Before you set your password, here are some of the requirements you need to follow:

8 to 20 alphanumeric password

This is probably one of the most important and convenient feature of the website because with just a few clicks, your total contributions will be available at your fingertips.
