Filipino taxpayers can now easily get their TIN IDs — now digitized. The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) recently launched the Digital TIN ID, a new and convenient way to get your taxpayer identification card and your Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN) without physically visiting and waiting in long lines at the Revenue District Offices.

The Digital TIN ID

According to BIR’s memorandum 120-2023, the Digital TIN ID is the reference for the taxpayer’s TIN. It can be used and accepted as a valid government-issued identification document accepted in various government agencies, local government units, banks, employers, and other institutions.

It does not require a signature. If needed, its authenticity can be validated online by scanning the QR on the ID on the BIR’s Online Registration and Update System (ORUS) website.

If you already have a Digital TIN ID, there’s no need to secure a physical card, as the Digital TIN ID is a permanent identification document.

For those who already have a physical TIN ID card, no need to worry because the physical TIN ID remains valid.

How to get the Digital TIN ID

If you’re looking to secure a Digital TIN ID, here’s how:

1. First, make sure that you already have an existing TIN. Only individual taxpayers with an existing TIN can apply for a Digital TIN ID.
2. Update your email address with the BIR by submitting Form S1905 Registration Update Sheet through email to the RDO where you’re registered or through BIR’s eServices portal.
3. Once your information is updated, go to the ORUS website.
4. Register for an account or log in to your existing account.
5. Click on the “Apply for Digital TIN ID” option
6. Upload a 1×1 ID photo of yourself (with a white background, taken within the last six months).
7. Fill out the form and provide the required information.
8. Wait for your application to be processed.
9. Once done, you can download your Digital TIN ID!
