This Monday has been a busy and long day for me, I woke up as early as 1 o'clock in the morning. I watched a movie and as promised, prepared to go to SSS (Social Security Service) office. Tanya and I agreed to meet at the site at 5am.
Tanya arrived earlier so she had reserved a spot for me in the line which raised the other people's eyebrows, teehee. I was late with our agreed time, I reached the office at 6:10. Gladly, I didn't have to wait for a long time since the guards had already opened the office at 6:30 anyway, we had a little chat about how the Breaking Dawn movie came out.
Since I came to update my SSS records, we have to separate and fall in different lines. I actually have an incorrect middle name, thanks to our municipal registrar who had typed it incorrectly but it was already been updated and NSO authenticated, click here to know how I changed it.
I regret that I didn't bring any book with me since the waiting game was kind of long, senior citizens were prioritized. I didn't even eat my breakfast so I was very hungry already while I was seating filling out my E4 or Member's Data Amendment Form. It was already 7:30 when my number, 6 was called. The teller was friendly and there was pretty quick with the necessary actions needed. I was just disappointed because the turn around time for me to get it updated is a month. I thought I can apply for an ID at the same day, well it looked like I will be seeing these people again in 30 days.

Anyways, it's a good thing that at last I was able to work with my identification cards, starting with SSS.
To sum up everything, here are what the step by step guide on how to update your SSS data most specially those ones with incorrect information.
- Ask security officer for a priority number, they will ask what your transaction will be and they'll point you to which line to stand in.
- Prepare your identification cards for checking, the officer will give you a corresponding priority number and the E4 form.
- Fill out the E4 form and prepare again the photocopy as well as the original copies of your identification documents, wait for your number to be called. Be attentive enough for your number which will be shown in the LCD screens.
- Give the E4 and the documents to the officer in charge and you're good to go!
* bring a book to help you kill time
* bring a photocopy of all of your documents and IDs, I had to go out for awhile and have my birth certificate photo copied, good thing there's a university near the area, I only went out for about 10 minutes.
* bring a black pen, I bought a pen worth Php 5 when I was on my way to the SSS office however the E4 form has a reminded that only black pens should be used. So I ended up spending another Php 7 for the black pen.
* bring a bottled water or some light food, if you don't want to go out to have a drink or spend money, this is really helpful most specially if you came late.
Here are the documents needed for correction of name:
Primary:
Birth or Baptismal Certificate or in absence of both, any two of the secondary documents enumerated below and Affidavit of two persons who have personal knowledge of the fact that the name appearing in the primary or secondary documents belongs to the same person.
In the absence of the primary documents:
1.) Certificate of loss/non-availability thereof from the Local Civil Registrar of the place where you were born and the Parish Priest of the locality where you were baptized;
2.) Any two of the following secondary documents that show your correct name and date of birth or age.
a. Record of Employment
b. GSIS Member's record
c. Certification from National Archives
d. Alien Certification of Registration
e. Marriage Contract
f. Birth Certificate of Children
g. School records
h. Passport
i. Joint Affidavit of two disinterested persons attesting to the fact of your birth.

The waiting area inside the SSS office, it was still early so there were only a few people inside. |

It was a breather for me when I was able to witness and join as well the Flag Raising Ceremony, I never had done this for a while already! |
Will update you in 30 days, check how I got my PhilHealth card here.

We will be visiting SSS this month. I'm kinda anxious because it's going to be a long wait. Dapat pala 6:00 nakapila na. What time kayo natapos?
Visiting from BC Bloggers!
@Paula: I finished early kasi hindi masyadong mahaba yung line sa general inquiry, mga 8 am tapos na ako. Pero pag transaction mo is sa SSS ID, matagal matapos talaga..
Hi jean xerox copy ng nso lang ba kukunin? And can i get the link kung paano din ipacorrect sa philhealth? Thanks! - Art
@anon: uu photocopy lang pero dapat dala mo yung original... i actually don't have the link for Philhealth... let me see if there's a way to change that too
Mam, hahanapin pa ba yung receipt ng nso? natapon ko kasi hehe..may mga questions and payment pa ba sa counter?
@anon: hindi na... importante lang na dalhin yung original copy... actually, ichecheck lang nla ung documents then if ok na, then they'll give you the instructions...
sorry anong instructions po yun?
@anon: instructions kun when ka babalik, ganun lang.. in my case, they informed me to go back after a month. I dunno if they may give you further instructions.
I have a question, regarding sa SSS I.D., after 1year nakuha ko na ung I.D ko, kaso kulang ng 1 letter yung name ko, ganyan din ba yung requirements na dadalhin ko? and meron kaya charge yun pag pinapalitan?? :)
hi anon: i wish i have the answer but honestly i don't know, i had just applied my sss id thru my company and haven't received it yet. I will try to research about the concern.
thanks for visiting!!!
i have a question for you, kasi yong ngkuha ako ng sss mali kasi ang gulang na dinala ko eh, pina file nila ako ng E4 kasi lang sa E4 tintaka nila ang form ko na TP,. ano ba ibig sabihin nyan,,
regarding sss ID anong documents kaya ang posibling dalhin para makakuha nag sss ID,and ilang buwan bago ma process ang ID, kasi lang mga next year,, mag loan na ako sa aking sss, hindi po ba ito complicated sa dahil sa mga mali?
