ID Clearance and Photo

After submission of the E-6 form and accompanying documents, you will be granted an ID Clearance which is a small piece of paper where your scheduled ID capture will be printed. Depending on the workload of the office, you may be asked to return a few days later for ID capture.

It is worth noting that during your scheduled ID capture, processing will be done on a first-come first-served arrangement. Once it is your turn, a clerk will attend to you and retrieve your personal data such as fingerprint, specimen signature, facial image and ask you to enter a confidential 4-digit pin on a keypad.

Issuance of SSS ID

After your turn at the SSS desk and ID capture, you’re basically done with your application. Next step is to wait for your SSS identification card and SSS ID by mail. Should you fail to receive the card within 30 days you may inquire at SSS office.
