Please read: Update as of July 11, 2015: It seems that the BIR is not already issuing a digitized TIN Card for taxpayers.
Recently, we processed a new application for registration of TIN for our new business, and the BIR has only issued us a TIN card that is printed on a cardboard. We also directly asked the OIC/Asst. RDO of RD 14-Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, and she confirmed to us that the BIR has already stopped the issuance of a digitized TIN Card.
According to this source, the BIR hopes to roll out by year 2016 an updated Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) card that will electronically store personal data and eventually have other uses. So as of now, we expect that the BIR will only issue a TIN card that is printed in a cardboard. The requirements are still the same. Take note that the TIN card is free.
One of the important government identification cards that Filipinos must get is the TIN (Tax Identification Number) ID. This is a valid card that will never expire. Therefore, this is convenient to have. Good news is, it is easy to get a TIN ID from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) office. Here are the steps for the application that anyone can easily follow.
Requirements
It is easy to get a TIN ID because there are a few requirements. Applicants should just bring their NSO Birth Certificate with them. Moreover, they need to bring at least one valid ID especially for those who have existing TIN already.
- Go to the local BIR office in the city or town.
- Bring birth certificate and valid ID.
- Fill up TIN application form (there are different kinds of forms, ask assistance to find the right form).
- Submit the application form at the counter. Present a valid ID or the birth certificate.
- Wait for Tax Identification Number to be given.
- Request for your TIN Card ID, which applicants are entitled to according to E.O. 98.
- Wait for the ID. If the office is not busy, it can be processed within 1 hour. However, during very busy days, applicants may need to return the next day.
Having a TIN ID is an advantage. It will let the person transact with offices, especially government ones. For questions and concerns about getting a Taxpayer’s Identiication Number (TIN) and the TIN card, they can check out the website of the BIR. They can also visit their local RDO office directly.

Mr Pioneer says
Sad to inform that BDO doesn’t honor BIR-TIN Digitized like this one as a valid ID , as of now 03-26-2015 or is it just in a particular branch.

Pinoy says
Pag-ibig does not accept this anymore. Idk why
Lally Eleazar says
This should be amended… this is a misinformation as I called BIR Customer Assistance at the Main Office and I was confirmed that they have already stopped issuing Digitized BIR TIN IDs since 2000. So whoever wrote or published this should amend this post.
Sanshine Rebogio says

anna m. says
Hello thank you sa info kung saan kukuha. Pero follow up question: Kailangan ba sa current place of residence, hindi pwede sa city/ place of birth? Ang hirap po kasi sa case ko. Sa North Caloocan City ako nakatira pero pinanganak sa Quezon City. Ang layo kasi ng city hall ng Caloocan mula sa amin, sa Monumento pa (hindi ko pa alam kung saan dun o pano pumunta dun). Baka pwede sa QC (place of birth) ko, mas malapit sa amin?…Thanks po sa sagot
Mae Abella Tabbu says
Sir yung karton yung inissue sakin kanina lang, tinanong ko kung pano maka avail nung Digitized. “Ah, wala” yung sagot dun sa BIR sakin TT San po talaga pwede mamakuha?
Cate Edison De Lemos says
I just want to ask lang po kung required po ba talaga yung Valid ID ? Wala pa po kasi akong Valid id but i have Student permit frm. LTO okay lang po ba yun ? First time ko po kasi e.
Ms.Independent says
valid ids may include but not limited to the ff:
1. police clearance
2. NBI clearance
3. brgy. clearance
4. postal id
5. passport
6. voter’s id
7. student id
of which can be secured by a student like you.
Chigo says
hi! will they get my Authenticated Birth Certificate or will they just need the photo copy and bring the original?
Ms.Independent says
i suggest to bring the authenticated nso birth certificate and photocopy. if they would be asking for your authenticated copy, for reference/verification purposes only but they will return it to you as soon as the verification process has ended because not all rely on the photocopy alone, they still look for the authenticated one.
Lh En says
i just want to ask lang po, qng may bayad po ba pagkuha ng BIR id card? kahit my tin no. na nawala kc ung id card. .ko. please reply. .
romeo buan says
wla po.. its free!
Marcilo Rosales says
pde po ba akong kumuha ng tin id kahit wlng tin no#? sana po masagot niyo.
Common Sense says
Eh anong silbe ng ID mo kung yun pinakaimportanteng tin # eh yun pa ang wala? Obviously hindi ka mabibigyan!
Rose says
Kaya ka nga magdadala ng birth certificate at valid ID eh. Okay ka lang? Akala ko ba si Common Sense ka?
RJO says
excuse me ang tanong eh “pde po ba akong kumuha ng tin id kahit wlng TIN NO#?”
hello ate tama po si common sense, makakakuha ka ba kung wala kang TIN NO. kaya ka nga kukuha kasi meron kana. so sa tanong ni Marcilo Rosales, malamang HINDI!
bonggertz says

You can apply first for your tin number before you can get tin id.
christina caras says

RJO says
i went to BIR RDO-039 yesterday, because i want to get an ID, but unfortunately as i ask the Guard where can i get an ID he said “wala pa pong ID, naubusan ng papel.” O_O really? Sana sinabi nila na magdala din ng PAPEL! what’s the use of the TAX that I’m paying.
Ryan Balote says
may nakuha na po akong tin id,,, kaso hindi po natanggap sa DFA ang tin id ko naguguluhan kasi ako magkaiba ba yung tin ID Tsaka digitized BIR id?? please pakisagot naman ilang balik na kasi ako sa dfa dahil sa bwisit na id na yan.
Elvira Santos Mendoza says
tin ID and digitized ID–parang tulad lang din iyan sa SSS ID. Ung lumang SSS ID ay gawa lang sa carton–tulad ng tin ID mo, pero ngayon digitized na SSS ID, na ang card ay tulad sa ginagamit sa ATM card. Iyan ang kaibahan kaya di ina-accept ng DFA iyang tin ID mo. We had the same experience with DFA, need talaga nila ay digitized ID.
Jessica jane Losito says
panu po ba kumuha ng digitized tin id? panu process nun? tnx sa sasagot
Elaine Flores says
RDO 43-A
I applied and paid for my TIN card replacement on November 30, 2015 and told that the TIN card will be ready on the 2nd or 3rd week of December.
I asked if it’s still the carton/paper ID and they confirmed it.
More than 30 days to print a card? They said it is because they don’t have the paper/carton used for the ID’s in stock.
Out of stock? Really?!
But when I initially asked the guard on how I can replace my TIN card, he immediately pushed me back and said that BIR no longer transacts with individuals/employees and that I need to go back to my employer.
Richard Aranda says

Wilbert gatchalian indineble says
Bakit ang BIR walang expiration ang id pero d makapag provide ng digital id buti pa ang police clearance 6mos lng pero my digital id pang kasama. Limpak limpak ang tax na nakukulekta tapos card board lng ang id nauubusan pa!! Wow na wow

john says
is the tin id has expiration date ?
Admin says
Hello John,
The TIN ID has no expiration date since the tax identification number issued by the BIR to a taxpayer will be used by such person or entity for life. You cannot have two personal TINs, having more than one TIN is considered a criminal act.
However, in the future, future tax laws or government rules may issue a new TIN ID card format (still using your taxpayer identification number) for the betterment of government services, which may also require taxpayers to follow. But this is only a speculation since most government IDs now have modern features like VISA/Mastercard capabilities.
