Pag-IBIG Number Verification: How to Retrieve Your Pag-IBIG MID Number

As a member of the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), or commonly known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, it’s your obligation to pay your monthly contributions so that you’ll be eligible for loans and benefits. But what if you forgot or lost your Pag-IBIG number? Thankfully, you can perform an online verification so that you will know your Pag-IBIG MID number.

It’s now possible to retrieve your Pag-IBIG number online using the Virtual Pag-IBIG website. The new website is an improvement over the old version because you can perform several transactions such as checking your Pag-IBIG contributions online. If you’re not successful in recovering your Pag-IBIG number through this website, you can try the other methods which I will share with you in this article.

Aside from Pag-IBIG number verification using the new Virtual Pag-IBIG website, you can verify or retrieve your number through email, Facebook, telephone, and by visiting the nearest Pag-IBIG office.

What is the Pag-IBIG MID Number?

The Pag-IBIG Membership ID (MID) number is a unique 12-digit number that is assigned to each individual Pag-IBIG Fund member.

When you register to become a member of the Pag-IBIG Fund, you are given your own Pag-IBIG MID number that you can use to access your membership records, pay your contributions, apply for housing loans, request for assistance from the agency, and all other actions related to your membership.

The Pag-IBIG MID number is different from the Pag-IBIG registration tracking number (RTN), although both have the same number of digits (12). The Pag-IBIG RTN is the tracking number that was given to you upon first-time registration, and can be used to verify the status of your Pag-IBIG MID number.

Virtual Pag-IBIG Online Verification Process

The quickest and most convenient way to check your Pag-IBIG MID number is through the Virtual Pag-IBIG website.

You don’t have to sign up to Virtual Pag-IBIG in order to check your MID number, although it’s recommended to register for a free account because it allows you to view your regular savings contributions, MP2 contributions, link your Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card, and more.

If you’d like to register to Virtual Pag-IBIG, read this article to learn how to register and activate your account.

Follow these steps to check your Pag-IBIG MID number through the Virtual Pag-IBIG website:

Step 1: Open the Virtual Pag-IBIG website and click “Be a Member” and then “Verify MID No.”

Step 2: Enter the following required information:

• Registration Tracking Number – Enter your Pag-IBIG RTN. This is the 12-digit Pag-IBIG tracking number that was given to you during membership registration.
• Last Name – Enter your surname or family name.
• Date of Birth – Indicate your birthday in MM/DD/YYYY format. For example, if your birthday is on February 14, 1990, type 02/14/1990.

When you’re done, click “SUBMIT.”

Step 3: If your provided information matches with your records, your 12-digit Pag-IBIG Membership ID (MID) number will be shown. Copy or write it down for your reference.

Take note that Pag-IBIG online verification only works if you have your Pag-IBIG registration tracking number (RTN). If you don’t have or if you forgot your RTN, follow the other Pag-IBIG number verification methods below.

Pag-IBIG Online Verification via Text Message

Another way to check or verify your Pag-IBIG number is to send an SMS or text message. On your cellphone or mobile phone, compose your message in this format:

IDSTAT<space>[RTN]<space>[Birthdate MM/DD/YYYY]

For example, if your RTN is 1234567890 and your birthdate is August 15, 1990, you can type the following:

IDSTAT 1234567890 08/15/1990

Text it to 09178884363 (for Globe and TM subscribers) or 09188984363 (Smart and TNT subscribers). Pag-IBIG will soon reply with a text message containing your Pag-IBIG MID number.

Other Ways to Verify Your Pag-IBIG Number

If you can’t use the Pag-IBIG online verification website because you don’t have a registration tracking number, you can try these alternative methods.

Call the Pag-IBIG Hotline

Dial the Pag-IBIG hotline number (02) 8-724-4244 (8-Pag-IBIG) to talk to a customer service representative. For faster access, press 1 and then 3 when prompted.

If you’re calling from your mobile phone, you may dial (2) 8-724-424 (without the leading 0 in the area code).

You will be asked to provide your complete name (including middle name), mother’s maiden name, date of birth, and employment status. If you’re calling from your prepaid mobile number, make sure that you have enough cellphone load. In my case, the agent asked me to spell out my name so it took around 8-10 minutes to complete the verification.

Be sure to have a ballpen and a scrap of paper ready in order to list down your Pag-IBIG MID number and/or RTN.

The Pag-IBIG hotline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you can call them even on Sundays for any membership-related concerns.

Final Thoughts

As humans, we’re prone to forgetting many things and one of them is our Pag-IBIG number. In my case, I didn’t receive an email containing my Pag-IBIG MID number and RTN, and I failed to record them somewhere.

I had to call the Pag-IBIG hotline to know my MID number since online verification isn’t possible due to the absence of the RTN. If you already know your RTN, then the Pag-IBIG number verification process is easy, thanks to the Virtual Pag-IBIG website.
