Delay in the Processing of UMID Card Applications Filed Starting 30 July 2019

Social Security System (SSS) members are advised that the processing of Unified Multi-purpose Identification (UMID) card applications received starting 30 July 2019 onwards will be delayed due to the stoppage of the Central Verification System (CVS).

CVS operation stopped due to its hard disk failure. The CVS is being administered by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to perform biometric uniqueness check of UMID applicants. The PSA is already working to restore the CVS back into operation at the soonest possible date.

With guidance from the PSA, SSS will issue another advisory once the CVS processing is restored.
