We, at FilePino, offer a complete package of company formation and business registration services, including employer registrations with SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund. Our services cover:
What is an Employer Registration?
In the Philippines, Employer Registration is the process by which a business or company officially registers itself as an employer with government agencies to comply with labor and social security laws.
SSS Employer Registration
SSS Employer Registration is the process by which companies or individuals who hire employees register with the Social Security System (SSS) in the Philippines. This registration is essential for obtaining the SSS Employer ID Number and ensuring compliance with the Social Security Act of 2018 (R.A. 11199).
SSS Employer Registration Requirements
You can download the SSS registration forms from the SSS official website or request copies from the nearest servicing branch in your area. Below are the documentary requirements:

SSS Employer Registration Process
After gathering and drafting all documentary requirements, the application for SSS Employer Registration may already be filed with any SSS servicing branch, preferably the one that covers the principal business address. If filed online via My.SSS, the requirements, particularly the forms, must be signed, scanned, and uploaded. After review and approval, the agency will issue the SSS Certificate of Registration (COR) along with a My.SSS activation link, if filed in person.
What Documents to Receive
Your SSS employer registration proves your business compliance with the Social Security Act of 2018 (R.A. 11199) and promotes a sense of contribution to the broader social protection of the workforce in the private sector. After registering with SSS, you will receive:
