Our apartment is in Makati so it was already a hassle for us to go to Quezon City (tamad kasi kami), we were there for more than 9 hours and most of the time was spent waiitttiinng for our turn to pay, to have our photos taken, to get someone’s signature and all the other boorrring steps. It was torture! After enduring the long process, we were told that we will probably receive our IDs within 1 to 3 months. However it was only today, after almost 2 years, that I’ve received my SSS ID UMID.

I know I should feel disappointed with the turn-around time but I’m passed that stage. I’m just relieve and happy that FINALLY, I have the UMID. I feel so grown-up! haha;p

The package includes the ID and a letter which reads;
