How to replace lost or damaged BIR TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) card? If you have already registered a TIN before, but have lost your TIN card, or if your card has been damaged, here are the steps you can do to replace your TIN card and have a new one.
1. Know the BIR District Office where your TIN is currently registered. If you don’t know or is not sure with the Revenue District Office (RDO) where you are currently registered at, you can call and inquire at the BIR TIN Verification Office at 926-8339. You can also call BIR at 981-8888 or email them at contact_us@cctr.bir.gov.ph .
2. After you have confirmed the RDO where your TIN is currently registered, get a copy or download BIR Form 1905 (Application for Registration Information Update) from the BIR website.
3. Fill up the form with your TIN, taxpayer’s name, reason for registration information update (i.e., replacement of Lost/Damaged TIN Card), signature, and other information that the BIR officer may require you.
4. Secure the required document/attachment for lost or damaged TIN Card. If your TIN Card was lost, secure an affidavit of loss. You can get a duly notarized affidavit of loss from a Notary Public in your town or city. If your TIN Card is damaged, but not lost, and you want to replace it, you need to bring the original TIN Card that is damaged.
5. Visit the BIR District Office where your TIN is currently registered and then file or submit your BIR Form 1905, together with the required documents to be attached (affidavit of loss for lost TIN Card and original TIN card for damaged card).
To check the address and contact numbers of BIR different divisions, Regional offices, and Revenue District Offices, you may visit BIR directory at their website.

Paano po kung nakalimutan po yung number ng TIN? Paano po yun?
McLovin says
Just present a valid ID and your NSO birth certificate.
Ands says
Pwede po ba na sa ibang branch na lang po ako mag request ng lost tin id ko?
Victorino Abrugar says
I think you should request it in the RDO where you are originally registered.

Hi! Good Day!
We live here in Bulacan but my father’s last employment was in Laguna. His ITR papers and other documents where we can find his TIN was washed out when our place got flooded .My father doesn’t know where he’s TIN was registered by his last employer which was Sarah Hazel Supermarket. We wish to recover his Tax Identification Number because Security Exchange Commission (SEC) required him to have it as the new President of Tricycle Operators Drivers Association (TODA) so that they can renew their membership with them. According to my father, the last administration of TODA failed to renew the membership and now that he wants to renew it, he was required to present his Tax Identification Number.
If his TIN is being registered in Laguna, is there any chance that we can get it here in Bulacan just by presenting valid ID?
I hope you can help us about this. Thank You in advance and God Bless!
michael says
I lost my TIN card before then I tried to file for replacement in the BIR branch where I registered. But they gave me a form and they told me that I need to file to another branch which is nearer to my workplace. Is that right? My previous workplace was nearer to the branch where I registered and my new workplace is not listed in their branch.

Yes, the TIN number that the BIR provided you the first time is your lifetime TIN Number.
You can request for TIN ID due to lost or damage but the TIN Number will always be the same
even if you change your employer.

Bernadette says
I would like to ask if I can get my TIN ID thru mail or if i can get it on the District Office where I reside?
I was never issued of my original ID because I had my registration at Naga City (my former workplace) and is too far from my original residence. Also, it is very inconvenient in my part in terms of money and availability to process it due to my current work in Albay.
Kristine says

Victorino Abrugar says
Get it in your BIR Reven District Office or the RDO where you do business or employed.
edwin coronel says
back in he 80’s ..around 1985 -1988 college days namen kumuha na kmi ng mga kaibigan ko ng S.S.S. number at T.A.N. (tax account number) pa tawag nuon dun sa main office sa Quezon city (Malabon area kme)..tapos natatandaan ko parang bago mag 1999 nagkaron ng memorandum na i-surrender yung TAN id number sa BIR or RDO kasi nga gagawin ng T.I.N. ..eh hindi ko na-surrender yun T.A.N. id ko….ngayon (2017) kailangan ko ng TIN number dahil requirement sa LTO, Grab car at mga banks and sa DFA..so kukuha pa ba ko ng new TIN number? hindi na ba valid yung TAN number na kinuha ko 30 years ago? yun din ba magiging number ng TIN ko kung sakaling ma retrive ang info ko sa BIR? thanks in advance
Victorino Abrugar says
Go to your BIR RDO to check if you still have a TAN/TIN record. It’s illegal to have 2 TIN numbers for an individual taxpayer. Hence, it would be better if you visit BIR to check your record before registering a new TIN so you won’t have double TAN/TIN.
May says
Would like to ask if anu po dapat gawin cu .. Gusto cu kc kumuha ng TIN ID Card .. Bali ung last employer ko.. Tin number lang binigay sakin .. Ngaun, bago na employer ko. Naguguluhan ncu if anu ba dapat fill-upan cu.. Thank u.
Ericson says
Wala po bang kaso kung pinaasikaso molang ung tin id mo sa employee ng bir at wala din bang kaso kung may mali dun sa letter ng address mo? Thank you
Business Tips says
If it’s only a normal assistance made by a BIR employee, then I think there’s no problem. It’s their job to assist taxpayers. But if pay money or give some gifts to the BIR, then that’s an issue of corruption. BIR assistance should be free. If your records, such as name, address have errors, then you should update them with the BIR.
Business Tips says
It’s your employer who should enroll you online. But for claiming your TIN Card, I think it’s you who should go to the BIR.
Homer says

Business Tips says
Hello, please go to the BIR RDO office where you get your TIN to verify your tax number. You may request them to replace your TIN card. They might require affidavit of loss.

Hello. You have to get your TIN card in the RDO where you are registered. You have to submit the BIR Form and the required documents, as stated in the article above.

Business Tips says
Hello. If you think your TIN card is damaged, then you can replace it by filing BIR Form 1905 (Application for Registration Information Update) with the BIR and surrendering your old/damaged TIN card so they can replace it.
Aries says
Good day po..paano ko po makukuha yung tin number ko?from my previous company hindi ko po nakuha ang tin number ko..salamat po s tugon…
Business Tips says
Hello, do you mean your TIN (Tax Identification Number) or your TIN Card? The TIN card is claimed in the BIR RDO where you were registered. Thank you.
Bill says
It is unfair and a bit insulting that a person like me who went there a while ago in order to replace my stolen TIN card have no other choice but to pay for a “penalty” fee of 100.00. Nawalan ka na nga ng TIN card along with your other valuables, penalized ka pa sa pamamaraan ng pagbayad ng penalty fee. Not only that, but the process you will have to undergo as stated in this article that you thought will only take you less than an hour is actually too lengthly in reality. Pasahan pa ng lalapitan na offices kahit sa ibang bldg pa raw. Only to be told in the end that the claiming of the card will be a few days later pa. It’s 2018 already and this kind of slow and corrupt practice from this govt agency is still taking place in our country. Grabe lang, nakakaawa naman tayo.
Business Tips says
Hi Bill. Sorry to hear your experience. But I think the P100.00 fee is not a penalty, but a replacement fee. Did the BIR give you an official receipt for the P100 fee? What is stated in the receipt? Yes, it’s true, there are really some frustrating realities that one can experience when they transact with any government agency. We can just hope that our government will not stop in trying to improve their system.

Hi, What if my Birth date is wrong, what I need to do first? is it for updating?
Business Tips says
Hi. BIR Form 1905 (Application for Registration Information Update) is to be accomplished by all taxpayers who intend to update/change any data or information in their registration information. This form should be filed with the RDO having jurisdiction over the taxpayer, whether Head Office or branch. Please check the form at the BIR website https://www.bir.gov.ph/index.php/bir-forms/application-forms.html
Hanna says
Hi. I have my TIN, but i didn’t get the ID Card. how do i get one?
Business Tips says
Hello. Did you lose your TIN Card? You may file BIR Form 1905, together with the required documents to be attached (affidavit of loss for lost TIN Card). If you have just recently given a TIN by your employer, you may ask your employer for assistance to get your TIN card. It is your employer who registers your TIN online.
