This guide is for the individuals who need an SS number for their employment, self-employment, or for OFWs. If you’re an OFW, you don’t need to go back to the Philippines to get your SS number.

You can save time, and effort, and maintain social distancing by following our SSS online registration guide.

Without so much introduction, let’s start with things you’ll need during the registration process.

SSS Online Registration 2022 Requirements

In order to avoid delays during the SSS online registration, be sure to prepare these things beforehand.

Internet Connection

Make sure your internet connection is stable. You may also use mobile data service.

Laptop, PC, or Smartphones

Since the registration is done online, you’ll need a device that can go online. It can be a laptop, personal computer, or smartphone. I recommend using a laptop or PC for better viewing and navigation.

Supporting Documents

At the end part of the SSS online registration, you’ll be asked to upload supporting documents to prove your identity. This can be your birth certificate, driver’s license, passport, and any valid IDs.

I recommend using the PSA Birth Certificate as it’s the most convenient and has the highest approval rate.

Important: You need to scan the document and save it into a PDF or Image file format.

Patience and Time

The last thing you’ll need is yourself. Focus on the registration process. Give it time and your patience.
