The Taxpayer Identification Number and the TIN ID are both issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the tax-collecting agency of the Philippine government. It certifies that the person has paid the taxes. The information on the ID includes the following details:

  • complete name of the person
  • birthday
  • address
  • photo
  • signature
  • BIR logo

To get the Taxpayer Identification Number, there are TIN requirements that you need to prepare for application.

Also one of the TIN requirements for married individuals who want to apply for the ID card is the marriage contract. This ID was issued in a yellow-orange cardboard before but now it is in a green cardboard.

Upon the issuance, it is best to sign your ID, put a photo on it, and have it laminated. As mentioned, the material of the BIR-issued ID is made of a thin cardboard thus laminating it prevents it from getting wet, scratched, or teared.

If you are an employed individual, submit your TIN number to your employer or the company you are working for. There are corresponding taxes based on your salary.
