BIR Digital TIN ID Now Integrated into eGovPH App: What You Need to Know

The Philippines is making significant strides in its digital transformation journey. In a move that promises to streamline government transactions and reduce the need for physical cards, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has officially integrated the Digital TIN ID into the eGovPH Super App.

This integration is a game-changer for taxpayers, offering a more convenient, secure, and modern way to present your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).

What is the BIR Digital TIN ID?

The BIR Digital TIN ID is a valid electronic version of the traditional physical BIR TIN ID. It serves as an official government-issued identification that can be used for various transactions, such as opening bank accounts, applying for employment, and dealing with other government agencies.

Unlike the physical card, which can be lost, damaged, or take weeks to replace, the digital version is stored securely on your smartphone.

Key Features of the BIR Digital TIN ID:

• Real-time Verification: It features a QR code that can be scanned by third parties to verify the ID's authenticity through the BIR system.
• Free of Charge: Generating the digital ID through the app is free.
• Security: It is protected by the security protocols of the eGovPH app, including biometric authentication or MPINs.

How to Access Your Digital TIN ID via eGovPH

Getting your BIR Digital TIN ID is straightforward, provided you already have a verified account on the eGovPH app.

• Download and Log In: Open the eGovPH app (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store) and log in to your account.
• Open Mobile ID Wallet: Tap "Digital ID" icon at the bottom menu.
• View your BIR Digital TIN ID: Your BIR Digital TIN ID will be available if your eGOVPH profile matches your BIR records or you have an existing Digital TIN ID in ORUS.​
