Pag-IBIG Online Registration: A Guide for Fresh Graduates

Those who are looking for work may want to consider applying for Pag-IBIG through online registration. The reason being that once you are hired you might find yourself not having time to get all those work requirements.

What is Pag-IBIG?

Pag-IBIG stands for Pagtutulungan sa Kinabukasan: Ikaw, Bangko, Industria at Gobyerno. Also known as the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), it’s a mandated government program mainly used for house loans.

If you’re lucky, your HR will take care of the paperwork for you. Otherwise, you’ll have to get them yourself. Fortunately, you won’t be lost when you read this step-by-step guide in getting your Pag-IBIG number online.

1. Head to Pag-IBIG’s Online Membership page

The online membership registration page as shown below will appear. Click the “continue” button.

2. Verify your status as a new member

By entering your full name along with your date of birth, Pag-IBIG will check their database to determine whether or not you are a member already.

Once you’re done typing the security code, just hit the “proceed” button.

3. Fill out the Pag-IBIG Application Form

The information you input will be transferred to a PDF version of Pag-IBIG’s Member’s Data Form (MDF) for easy access.

Provide complete details as much as you can on each tab (Member Info, Other Info, Address, Contacts, etc.).

Remember to tick the “Unemployed / Not Yet Employed” in the Member Category tab if you currently do not have work.

Otherwise, choose the “Employed – Private” for companies, or “Employed – Government“, if you work for the government.

4. Your Pag-IBIG online registration is complete!

Once you hit the “submit” button in the Summary tab, you will be taken to a page that informs you that your registration was a success.

You may also be notified via SMS of your registration, along with the Registration Tracking Number (RTN). The RTN is used as a reference number for issuing your Pag-IBIG Membership ID (MID) number.

Your RTN may be used to remit your contributions by submitting it to the company’s HR.

You will have to wait for 2 business days before you can verify your Pag-IBIG ID number. Afterward, you can text Pag-IBIG using this format:

IDSTAT<SPACE>[Your RTN]<SPACE><Birthdate MM/DD/YYYY>

• IDSTAT 912365478925 12/24/1997

You can send it to:

• Globe | Touch Mobile: 0917 888 4363
• Smart | Talk ‘n’ Text | Red Mobile | Sun: 0918 888 4363

It’s recommended that you print your MDF as proof of your registration.

You are now registered for a Pag-IBIG Fund Membership

I hope your Pag-IBIG online registration process was as easy as mine! This is just one of many requirements you need to submit when you are working.

If you don’t have a SSS membership yet, I wrote a similar guide for fresh graduates on submitting an SSS online application, as well as for getting a PhilHealth number.
