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.

Hi! Thank you for this post! May I ask, how long did it take to get your MID number? I texted the numbers above right after they sent me a message that they have already issued my MID number. But until now (it has been more than two weeks), I still have not receive it. Do they reply via the numbers above? What should I do? Thank you!
Hi! It only took me about 2 business days. You can try emailing them at [email protected]. Hope this helps!
What is the required documents needed in pag-ibig membership registration ?Thanks!
Hi Rosel,
There’s no requirements needed aside from doing the steps above.
Hello, more than 1 month na yung RTN ko, twice na ko nagtext ng IDSTAT no reply, i-email ko sana yung [email protected] pero wala daw ganyang contact sabi ng g-mail. please heeeelp
Hi Miel,
It seems they’ve removed their email address for unknown reasons. I’ve tried looking at their Contact Us but it currently gives a 404. I suggest messaging their Facebook page.
Can i get the MDF number after registering or do i need to go on-site?
You can get it after registering, you just need to wait without going to their office.
Hi,
Do you I have to go to the nearest PAG IBIG center after registering online to have my MDF printed?
Hi Maya, no need na, you can print it on your own.
Hi!
If you’re unemployed, are you still required to pay a contribution of a minimum amount of 200 pesos?
I mean to get the id number do we need to pay first? Thanks
Hi Charles,
No you don’t need to pay, you’ll receive your ID number after registration.
