Get Tax Identification Number (TIN) Online in the Philippines

Ok.. My dilemma with Tax Identification Number (TIN) started when I wanted to become a member of the PAGIBIG and SSS. I couldn't push through my application because TIN was always needed. So I searched on how to register online (and was hoping that it's possible) and found a blog which offers a step by step instruction on how I can have my TIN with only a few clicks!

So, the first step is to go to the e-registration page of the BIR and scroll down. There you can see a form to be filled up.

The next step is to fill up the form and click the submit button. Then you will still have to fill other information like spouse name,dependents, etc.









What I can say with registering online is that it asks for a lot of information but compared to going physically to the nearest BIR office, getting Tax Identification Number (TIN) Online can save you the trouble of long lines, hot rooms and tiring application. Not to mention that I am facebooking while registering my TIN number. No SWEAT! :)

    1. Go to your former company and ask the in charge for filing employee's records. it could be the hr then ask for your TIN. Or you can go directly to BIR,tell them you don't know your TIN and if they can give you your number. Bring valid id's just in case. :) hope it helps.

  5. I didn't get it. BIR online says that i have a similar record in the BIR database which means I may already have been previously registered with the BIR. So I still need to go there? still have way?

    1. yes, you have to go there and get your TIN. just bring ids. :)

    2. i'm sorry for the wrong information. When I said the issuance of TIN number is free, i was referring to my experience because I applied under EO 98 (securing a TIN to be able to transact with any government office). If you are required to pay after the online registration, you can go to Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) which is indicated on the email notification sent to you.

  7. I went to the website and it says that the self-employed individuals can get their TIN online. How about the employees? Do I really need to let my employer get a TIN for me or should I just go to the BIR Office directly?

    1. Hey Jessel, I never been a company employee so I can't offer you advice on this one. Though, my friend who is a company worker was given her TIN by the company she worked for and the other one I know, it was a prerequisite for him to comply before he got hired. So, I think it depends on your company. I hope this helps

  8. I am an OFW currently in middle east, I am planning to invest in stock market.I applied TIN number through BIR online registration kaya lang FORM 1901 pala yung na filled up ko for professional or business purposes.

    Pwede ko ba e amend yung aplication ko from FORM 1901 to FORM 1904 since ako po ay OFW. While hindi ko pa ma amend kasi january 2015 pa bakasyun ko. Pwede na po ba ako maka pag start ng transaction sa col financial using the TIN number na nakuha ko sa BIR online registration?. wala ba akong penalty sa BIR pag magsimula ako sa stocks kahit di ko pa ma amend yung status ko?

    Thank you very much.

    1. Dexter, only having 2 TIN is punishable by law. Since you did not get another TIN, you are not going to be penalized. However, because you applied for FORM 1901, you have to pay the annual registration of 500 and 15 pesos for the documentary stamp hru Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) located within the RDO indicated on the email notification or thru the following BIR-accredited payment facilities i.e., eFPS and G-Cash. Please check your email address for any instruction.

  9. Nagtrabaho po ako sa semiconductor company nang higit 3 years. Pero hindi pa po naissuehan ng tin number. Sabi ng company hindi pa daw naiforward ng bir ung tin number ko. Malaki pa naman kaltas ko sa tax. Paano ba un BIR nagbabayad ako ng tax ng walang tin no.

    1. Uh-oh.. really? 3 years and no TIN? something smells fishy.. I suggest you go to BIR and inquire if you really have your TIN and let them know you're paying tax but your company told you BIR did not issue TIN yet.. Bring all identification you have - birth certificate, ID, company id for verification...do it asap if you can :)

  11. Hi! I got my TIN way back when i was still a student because it was required for my driver's license. So i filled up the Form 1904 - Application for Registration for One-Time Taxpayer and Persons Registering under E.O. 98 (Securing a TIN to be able to transact with any Government Office) and I was given my TIN. Now i am being hired by a company and they are asking for my TIN, do i need to register for a new one? Or is my old TIN already VALID? Thank you for the help!

  26. hello, i hope someone can help me with my case. I recently went to RDO 47 in Makati to have my TIN transferred to RDO 41 in Mandaluyong. They told me that my TIN was registered as single proprietor and asking me to pay penalty from 2007 to 2015. I remember signing up online when i was in makati way back 2007. I was 19yrs old that time and very stupid not knowing that what I'm signing up with is for business. I track my email and manage to get a form where bir sent after i finished my registration online way back 2007. It shows there things to do for my TIN to be valid. I never did that. How come RDO 47 says that my TIN is valid? Even my name in the online form is not correct. I don't have money to pay for the penalty and the reason why in transferring it to Mandaluyong is for job requirements. Can anyone help me please?

Pagbalik ko sa BIR with all the documents, sabi nila sakin kailangan daw employer ang magreregister sakin para kumuha ng TIN number at online raw ang gagamitin nila magregister.

How to Register to Pag-IBIG Fund Online in the Philippines

Let's get this straight- when i'm in a good mood, I can go out and eat out and do things outside. But, when I'm in one of my not-so-good-moods, I can't even stand stepping outside my door. What can I say? I'm a woman. Okay, before you tell yourself you came into the wrong blog, I'm gonna tell you I found how I can register to Pag-IBIG fund online and guess what? I bumped into it when I thought the sun was so hot, my bed is too comfortable, I am the best cook and my house is the best house ever (if you ask me now,i'll give you another answer). So, here's the procedure. 1. Go to the Pag-IBIG Fund Official Website  and click the red "REGISTER ONLINE HERE". 2. It will go to another page which will be the Pag-IBIG Online membership registration system. Note that there are 4 options to choose from -  Register as New Member,  View Registration Information,  Update Registration Information using the POP Temporary ID Number and the  Update...
