To verify your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) in the Philippines if you have lost or forgotten it, you can follow these steps:
- Contact the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). You can call the BIR’s contact center at 981-8888 or visit any BIR office in person. Explain to them that you have lost or forgotten your TIN and need to verify it.
- Provide proof of identity. To verify your TIN, you will need to provide proof of your identity, such as a government-issued ID or passport. You may also need to provide other documents, such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate.
- Fill out a TIN Verification Slip (TVS). The BIR will provide you with a TVS form, which you will need to fill out and submit along with your proof of identity.
- Wait for the BIR to process your request. It may take several days or even weeks for the BIR to process your request and verify your TIN.
- Check the status of your request. You can check the status of your request by contacting the BIR’s contact center or visiting any BIR office in person.
If you are unable to verify your TIN through the BIR, you may need to apply for a new TIN. To do this, you will need to visit any BIR office in person and provide proof of identity, as well as any other required documents. The BIR will then issue you a new TIN.
