With the implementation of the SIM Registration Act in the Philippines, every mobile user is now required to register their SIM cards using valid identification and accurate personal details. Whether you’re using Smart, Globe, DITO, or GOMO, the same rules apply. One of the most frequently asked questions these days is, “Can I register a GOMO SIM for someone else?”
The short answer is yes, but only under specific conditions. If you’re helping a child, senior citizen, or someone without access to a mobile device or internet, there are clear rules and guidelines to follow.
In this article, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about GOMO SIM Registration, who can register for someone else, how to do it properly, and what the law says about authorized or proxy registration. We’ll also cover the common situations like registering for a child, senior citizen, or someone overseas.
Let’s dive in and make everything simple.
Why GOMO SIM Registration Is Mandatory
Before we explore the rules around registering a SIM for someone else, let’s quickly understand why GOMO SIM Registration is now required.
In 2022, the Philippine government enacted the SIM Registration Act (RA 11934) to combat mobile-related crimes, such as:
Text scams
Fake promos
Identity theft
Fraudulent activities using anonymous SIMs
To make it harder for scammers to remain anonymous, the law now requires every SIM card to be registered under a person’s legal name, along with a valid government-issued ID.
This includes GOMO users — both new and old — regardless of how they use their SIM (for personal, business, or data use).
Can I Register a GOMO SIM for Someone Else?
Yes, you can register a GOMO SIM on behalf of someone else, but only under certain situations allowed by law. These include:
Registering for a minor (below 18 years old)
Registering for a senior citizen
Registering for a person with disability (PWD)
Helping someone who doesn’t have a phone or internet access
Helping someone living overseas (OFWs and their families)
However, in all cases, the registration must still include:
The real name of the person who will use the SIM
A valid ID of that person
Consent or proof of relationship (in case of minors)
The person helping with the registration is called an authorized representative, and you must follow the correct process to do this properly.
When You Can Register for Someone Else (Allowed Cases)
Let’s break it down:
✅ 1. Registering for a Minor
If the SIM card will be used by someone under 18 years old, it must be registered under the name of the parent or guardian.
Requirements:
The guardian’s valid ID
The minor’s birth certificate (as proof of relationship)
The SIM number used by the child
A selfie of the parent or guardian with their ID
The law clearly says that minors cannot legally register on their own, so parents must do it for them and take full responsibility for how the SIM is used.
✅ 2. Registering for a Senior Citizen
Many senior citizens struggle with technology, smartphones, or internet access. If you’re helping a senior register their SIM, that is allowed.
Requirements:
Senior citizen’s valid ID (Senior Citizen ID, National ID, etc.)
Personal details (name, address, birthdate, etc.)
A selfie of the senior (or with help)
GOMO mobile number being used by the senior
The important thing is that the registration should be under their own name, not yours. You’re just helping them complete the process.
✅ 3. Registering for a PWD (Person With Disability)
If the SIM user has a physical or mental disability that makes self-registration difficult, you can assist them with the registration.
Requirements:
PWD’s ID or proof of disability
Your own valid ID as helper (if asked)
Consent or proof of relationship
SIM number used by the PWD
Again, the SIM will be registered under the PWD’s name — you’re just helping with the process.
✅ 4. Helping Someone Without Internet Access
If someone doesn’t have a smartphone, computer, or internet access — especially in rural areas — they may ask a relative or friend to help with the registration.
You can use your own device to access the official GOMO SIM Registration website and complete the form for them.
Important: Always make sure you enter their information, their ID, and their selfie.
✅ 5. Registering for Someone Abroad
Some Filipinos working abroad (OFWs) may send GOMO SIM cards to their family in the Philippines or keep a local number for banking and OTPs.
If they can’t access the registration portal from abroad, a family member may assist — provided they have:
The OFW’s valid ID
Authorization letter or proof of relationship
SIM number
OFW’s selfie and other required details
Just make sure that the number is registered under the correct name and not mistakenly registered under the helper’s name.
How to Properly Register for Someone Else: Step-by-Step
If you’re registering a GOMO SIM for someone else, follow this clear and easy process:
✅ Step 1: Visit the Official Registration Portal
Go to: https://globsimregistration.ph/gomo-sim-registration/
You can do this on a mobile phone, tablet, or computer.
✅ Step 2: Enter the SIM Number
Type in the 11-digit GOMO mobile number.
✅ Step 3: Get and Enter the OTP
Wait for the One-Time Password (OTP) to be sent via SMS to the GOMO number.
If you’re helping someone without the phone, get the code from them directly and enter it on the website.
✅ Step 4: Fill in Personal Details
This is where you must enter the real user’s:
Full name
Birthdate
Gender
Nationality
Address
Do not enter your own information unless you are the actual SIM user.
✅ Step 5: Upload Valid ID and Selfie
You’ll need to:
Upload a clear image of the user’s ID
Take or upload a selfie of the user holding the ID
If the person is a minor, PWD, or senior who cannot take a selfie, explain it in the notes section or contact GOMO customer support.
✅ Step 6: Submit the Registration
Once everything is filled and uploaded, click “Submit” and wait for confirmation via SMS.
Important Reminders When Registering for Others
The SIM must be registered under the actual user’s name, not the person helping
All information must be accurate and match the ID
No fake IDs or impersonation — this can lead to legal consequences
Keep a screenshot or copy of the registration confirmation for your records
If you’re unsure, contact GOMO customer support for help
What If You Register a SIM in Your Name for Someone Else?
Some people think it’s easier to register a SIM in their own name, even if someone else will use it. This is strongly discouraged for several reasons:
If the user commits fraud or a crime using that SIM, you’ll be held responsible
You’ll get the OTPs, alerts, or bills — not the real user
You can’t transfer registration once submitted
It creates a false identity link, which defeats the purpose of SIM registration
It’s better to go through the proper channels and register under the actual user’s name — even if it takes a few more minutes.
Can You Register Multiple SIMs?
Yes, the law allows you to register multiple SIMs — as long as each one is linked to your own name and valid ID.
But you cannot use one ID to register SIMs for different people, unless you're the legal guardian or representative (like in the cases listed earlier).
Final Tips
📱 Always use the official GOMO SIM registration website
🧾 Check that the ID is valid and not expired
🤳 Take clear, well-lit selfies with no filters
🛑 Never register using fake info — this could lead to disconnection or legal action
📞 Contact GOMO support if you have issues or special cases
Final Thoughts
The GOMO SIM Registration process is designed to be flexible — allowing people to help others when needed, especially those who cannot register themselves due to age, disability, or lack of access.
Yes, you can register a GOMO SIM for someone else, but only if you follow the legal rules and register under the actual user’s name with their valid ID and consent.
Whether you’re helping a child, parent, grandparent, or friend, be honest, careful, and responsible throughout the process. This ensures their number stays active and protected — and it helps keep mobile communication safe and scam-free for everyone.
Register smart. Register right. Register now.
