SSS UMID Application

I really don't want to get this kind of ID because no one is requiring me to.  The reason I decided to get one is for me to have an ID with the current address on it.  Since, I want it done in one go, I checked the requirements online and these are below.

1.  E1 Form
2.  2 valid id's (photocopy and original)

And I was shocked since neither was asked from me.  I have a feeling that they are just rushing things so that they would empty people inside their office and waiting.  With that, let me show you my steps in getting for the first time an SSS UMID.

1.  Get an application form from the desk and get a number to be called for the generalist.
     I initially printed the application form from their website but it was rejected since I have two (2) copies, one copy is the front page of the application form while the second copy are the details at the back of their form.  I just fill up again the form given by them instead.

2.  I felt like I was in an elementary public school due to how they call out numbers.  I didn't feel like I was in a government office.  See picture below.

3.  Person from the generalist will do some kind of verification and they will stamp something on your application form and they will ask you to go to window 8.  In able to line up for window 8, make sure to get another number from the front desk/guard.

4.  In window 8, you will be doing the following
     a.  Picture will be taken, if you have earrings, you need to take it off.
     b.  Signature signing
     c.  Thumbs and Index printing scanning

5.  You are all Done!

6.  Wait for 2-3 months for the ID to be delivered.  By this, make sure that someone will be attending the address given.  Also, if you are not around, you need to make an authorization letter with a photocopy of your ID.

Driver's License Renewal Process

Driver's License Renewal Process in Ayala Station, MRT

Since I only went with my boyfriend to renew his driver's license at Ayala MRT Station, I have nothing else to do except to play on my phone, browse facebook, and instagram.  After a while of waiting, I decided to jot down every step he had gone and thought of sharing this with all of you.

It all started when he asked me to take a picture of the requirement needed (eg. Nbi clearance) for the renewal of the license.  All I see are these photos posted just outside their office.

 

Here was our actual step upon renewing his license.

1.Show Old Driver's License at Window.  Application Form will be given and fill it out

          note:  Bring a pen with you

3.Go to the next door where it says “Medical”

At the medical window, give the filled application form with the payment of PHP200 for the medical test fee

4.Wait for your name to be called for the medical test (eye test only) – approx. 45mins in our case

5.The doctor will give back the filled application form and give this to Window 1 and wait (appr. 1 hr)

6.Window 2, will then call you for the picture and signature.

7.Note:  they use a webcam, if you are vain in looking good, I suggest that you put a lot of make up haha

8.Window 4, will call you for the payment of the renewal of driver's license which was PHP417.63

9.Done!  However, you will be given a paper license instead, and you have to go back after 3month to get the id itself.

Note:  Since the license is only a paper, you might be force to buy their mini plastic holder (PHP20)
