The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) is advancing the government’s digitalization agenda by broadening access to the Digital Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) ID through the eGovPH mobile application. This move follows the issuance of Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) 342026 on April 28, 2026. The Digital TIN ID was initially launched in 2023 under RMC 1202023 as a feature of the BIR Online Registration and Update System (ORUS).
Nature and Purpose
The BIR Digital TIN ID is an official electronic identification document that displays a taxpayer’s name, TIN, and other basic registration details. It enables electronic presentation and verification for various transactions, including TIN verification for government and private dealings, as well as registration and compliance with BIR requirements. By reducing dependence on physical documents, the Digital TIN ID supports the BIR’s paperless initiatives while improving transaction speed and convenience for taxpayers.
Access Guidelines
Taxpayers can access the Digital TIN ID by following these steps:
- Download and install the eGovPH mobile application from official app stores.
- Register or log in using verified credentials.
- Link or retrieve taxpayer information within the eGovPH app.
- View and present the Digital TIN ID directly from their mobile device.
Validity and Verification
The BIR Digital TIN ID generated through ORUS and accessed via the eGovPH app is recognized as a valid government-issued ID, subject to authentication and verification procedures:
- ORUS: Online verification by scanning the QR code.
- eGovPH: Actual presentation within the mobile application.
The Digital TIN ID from the eGovPH app has been available since April 24, 2026. Taxpayers are advised to be guided accordingly.
