The Unified Multi-Purpose ID (UMID) is a Philippine identity card that was introduced in 2010. It is a four-in-one ID card that Filipinos can use to transact with government agencies such as the Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund. The UMID is also accepted as a valid ID in most transactions, making it one of the most powerful IDs in the Philippines. The UMID card is a smart card that contains the members name, picture, signature, and SSS number, as well as the members biometrics (fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris scan) . The UMID card application is simple and easy, and the documents required to submit are not complicated. The UMID card is issued by the Philippine government as a valid ID for government offices and other entities in the Philippines.
