What is the SSS E1 Form?
The SSS E1 form — officially called the Personal Record Form — is the registration document used to apply for an SS Number in the Philippines. Every first-time SSS member must complete the E1 form to get their SSS number, which is a permanent lifetime identifier required for employment, accessing benefits, and applying for loans.
You need the SSS E1 form if you are:
- A new employee registering with SSS for the first time
- Self-employed and applying for SSS membership
- An Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) registering for SSS coverage
- A non-working spouse applying for voluntary SSS membership
- Any Filipino citizen applying for an SS number for the first time

| Driver’s License |
| PRC ID |
| NBI Clearance |
| Postal ID |

How to Get a Copy of Your Existing SSS E1 Form
If you are already an SSS member and need a copy of your E1 form or personal record:
- Log in to your My.SSS account
- Go to Member Info → Member Details
- View and print your digitized personal profile — this holds the same legal weight as the original E1 form
If your records were not digitized or you have account issues, visit any SSS branch with a valid ID to request your records in person.
Important Reminders
- One SS Number for life — your SS number is permanent. Never apply for a second number — this is a violation that can freeze your contributions and benefits
- Fill out in two copies — one for SSS, one for your personal records
- Capital letters, black ink only — forms with incorrect formatting may be rejected
- Always write N/A — never leave sections blank, write “N/A” if not applicable
- Employers are legally required to collect your SS Number when you are hired under RA 11199
