PhilHealth Member Data Record: how to get and update it

Your Member Data Record (MDR) is PhilHealth’s record of your membership: your PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN), your personal details and the dependents you have declared. You can view or print it in the PhilHealth Member Portal, get a copy at any PhilHealth office or PhilHealth Express, or, from abroad, ask PhilHealth’s overseas desk by email at ofp@philhealth.gov.ph. PhilHealth lists no fee for it.

Getting your MDR online

PhilHealth’s Online Services page says the Member Portal lets you “View or print MDR”. To use it:

1. Have your PIN ready. The portal account is created with it. If you have never registered, register first. See PhilHealth online registration.
2. Create an account at memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph/member with your PIN, name, date of birth, sex, email address and mobile number.
3. Confirm the activation email PhilHealth sends you.
4. Log in, then view your details and declared dependents, and print or download your MDR.

PhilHealth described the portal record in 2021 as showing your “name, date of birth, address, employer, names of dependents, and other pertinent details”. PhilHealth doesn’t publish what the current MDR looks like, so check yours against your documents.

Use only PhilHealth’s own sites. PhilHealth says official government websites “must strictly end with .gov.ph” (Advisory No. 2026-0024), and that it does not send text messages with links asking you to update your details (Advisory No. 2026-0032).

Getting it from abroad or for a parent

From abroad, by email. PhilHealth’s Citizen’s Charter lists an MDR service for “Migrant Workers, Filipinos Living Abroad and Filipinos with Dual Citizenship”. Email ofp@philhealth.gov.ph with:

• a scanned copy of at least one valid ID with your photo,
• a photo of yourself holding that ID, and
• your full name, date of birth, place of birth and address.

The charter says the MDR is sent to your email in about three days, though it “still depends on the number of e-mails received”, and lists no fee. If you have forgotten your PIN, the same desk verifies it by email with the same documents.

Through someone in the Philippines. A relative can get a copy for you at a PhilHealth office or PhilHealth Express with an authorization letter from you and valid IDs with photo and signature of both of you. The same works the other way round, if you are getting a copy for a parent who is a member. The charter does not say the letter must be notarised; ask the office before you send one from abroad.

Fixing errors and updating dependents

You correct your details or add dependents with the PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF), ticking the “Updating/Amendment” box. It covers changes of name, date of birth, sex, civil status, address and contact details, and your list of dependents. There are three ways to file it:

• Online, in the Member Portal. PhilHealth’s OFW brochure (as of August 2026) says to log in, open the menu and choose “Amendment Request/s”, update your own details first and then your dependents, and upload your documents. Files must be JPEG, PNG or PDF and no larger than 2 MB, with a multi-page document combined into one file. “Requests without uploaded or attached supporting documents will be cancelled.”
• By email from abroad. Email the completed PMRF, a scanned ID and your supporting documents to ofp@philhealth.gov.ph. The charter gives about three days and says the updated MDR is emailed back.
• At a PhilHealth office. Hand in the PMRF with the documents; the charter says the office prints the updated MDR and ID, with no fee. Advisory No. 2026-0042 also names the Member Portal and any PhilHealth office for updates.

Documents PhilHealth’s charter asks for when you add a dependent:

• Spouse: the marriage certificate. For a marriage abroad, one stamped “received” by the Philippine embassy or consulate, or a PSA copy showing it was registered.
• Children below 21: the birth certificate. For a birth abroad, one stamped “received” by the Philippine embassy or consulate. Adopted children and stepchildren need the adoption papers or the marriage certificate of the parent and step-parent.
• Parents aged 60 and over: PhilHealth’s lists vary by office, from your own birth certificate and the parent’s senior citizen ID to both birth certificates. Ask the office which it wants.

PhilHealth accepts PSA e-certificates for registration and record updates, including uploads in the portal (Advisory No. 2026-0051). PhilHealth doesn’t publish instructions for removing a dependent, for example a child who turns 21; ask PhilHealth when you file. For who counts as a dependent, see our guide to PhilHealth dependents.

When you will need it

• In hospital. PhilHealth’s 2026 maternity circular says claims “shall not require a printed copy of the member data record (MDR)”, and accredited hospitals check eligibility and deduct PhilHealth’s share on discharge (Circular No. 2026-0005). Circular No. 2022-0013 says you may still need a valid ID to prove who you are. PhilHealth’s benefits page still lists a copy of the MDR or the eligibility form (PBEF) and Claim Form 1, so a copy is a useful backup.
• For your dependents. PhilHealth’s dependents page says dependents “must be listed under the principal member’s Member Data Record (MDR) to ensure hassle-free benefits availment”.
• For a new job in the Philippines. Employees register through their employer and receive the MDR and ID from the employer, according to PhilHealth’s registration page.
• To check your premiums. PhilHealth Advisory No. 2026-0042 tells members to check that their premiums are posted through the Member Portal or the eGov PH Super App, where your record is. See how to pay PhilHealth online.

We never ask for your PIN or your MDR. Send them only to PhilHealth’s own channels. Everything else about PhilHealth for OFWs and their families is on our PhilHealth guide.
