The Philippine National ID is the official national identity card for Filipinos worldwide and foreign permanent residents here in the Philippines. This ID is part of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys), the national identification system that has been implemented by the Philippine government.
This ID was implemented according to Republic Act No. 11055 (Philippine Identification System Act), which aims to establish a single national identification system for all Filipino citizens and resident aliens in the Philippines.

The UMID, short for Unified Multi-Purpose ID, is a Philippine identity card that was developed as a single card between the four government-related agencies such as the Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Philippine Health Insurance Corp (PhilHealth), and the Pag-IBIG Fund (Home Development Mutual Fund). Think of it like a powerful 4-in-1 card for your transactions with the above-mentioned agencies. The UMID Card can also be used as an ATM card to withdraw SSS Loans and Benefits.

A driver’s license is one form of identification granted by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) that serves as a permit for someone to drive a vehicle in the Philippines.
A student permit is needed first before you can apply for a driver’s license, authorizing you to drive a vehicle as long as you have a licensed driver accompanying you. This student permit is valid for a year.
On the other hand, a non-professional driver’s license permits you to drive any licensed private automobile. You need to apply for this license within 12 months from the time your student permit was issued.

Every taxpayer who is registered with the BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) is recommended to get a TIN ID as proof of membership. The good news is that it is free and never expires.

This ID certifies that the cardholder and their qualified dependents are entitled to Philhealth benefits and privileges provided by the National Health Insurance Program of the government.
Just like the TIN ID, it is free of charge and has no expiration date.
You may apply for membership online through their website or personally at the nearest PhilHealth branch. Remember though that the ID application process varies slightly depending if you’re an employed or an unemployed/self-employed individual.
