Why You Need to Register Your Globe SIM in 2025
What is the SIM Registration Act (Republic Act 11934)?
The SIM Registration Act (Republic Act 11934), enforced by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), mandates that all mobile users in the Philippines register their SIM cards with their telecom provider, such as Globe Telecom. Enacted to curb fraud, scams, and illegal activities, this law requires users to link their SIM card to a valid government-issued ID. As of 2025, Globe continues to urge subscribers to complete their SIM registration to remain compliant with the law and avoid service disruptions.
Benefits of Registering Your Globe SIM
Registering your Globe SIM offers more than just compliance. Here’s why it’s a smart move:
Stay Connected Without Interruptions
A registered SIM card ensures your mobile number remains active, letting you make calls, send texts, access 5G or 4G data, and check your balance without issues. Whether you’re using Globe prepaid, postpaid, or Globe at Home WiFi, registration keeps your services running smoothly.
Protect Against Fraud and Scams
By linking your SIM to your identity, Globe can better detect and prevent unauthorized use, protecting you from scams like phishing texts or fraudulent calls. This is especially crucial in the Philippines, where mobile scams are a growing concern.
Unlock Globe Rewards and Offers
Registered users gain access to Globe Rewards, including promos like Go50, GoUnli350, or 20GB freebies. Learn how to redeem your reward points to enjoy these offers. You can also enjoy exclusive perks through GCash integration or Pasaload services, including learning how to share load using *143#, enhancing your mobile experience.
What Happens if You Don’t Register?
Failing to register your Globe SIM by the deadline (check with Globe for the latest extension) risks deactivation. A blocked SIM means no calls, texts, or data access, disrupting your connectivity. Don’t let your mobile number go offline—register now to stay connected!
Requirements for Globe SIM Registration
Before you start, gather the necessary documents to ensure a smooth Globe SIM registration process.
Valid IDs You Can Use
Globe accepts a range of government-issued IDs for SIM registration. Here are the most common options:
National ID, Driver’s License, Passport, and Others
Ensure your ID is valid (not expired) and matches your personal details.
Other Documents Needed
In addition to a valid ID, you may need:
Proof of Address (e.g., Utility Bill)
A recent utility bill, barangay certificate, or bank statement showing your address and ZIP code may be required, especially for postpaid or broadband registration.
Selfie for Online Verification
For online registration, you’ll need to upload a selfie holding your ID. This verifies your identity and ensures compliance with Globe’s validation process.
Special Cases: Minors and Foreigners
Not everyone has a standard ID. Here’s how special cases are handled:
Registration for Minors Under a Guardian
Users below 18 years old must register under a parent or guardian. The guardian provides their valid ID and proof of guardianship (e.g., birth certificate). Globe stores can assist with this process.
Foreign Nationals Using Passports
Foreigners, including tourists, can register using a passport or other international IDs. Proof of Philippine address (e.g., hotel booking) may be required for verification.
