The New TIN ID Card

I got my Tax Identification Number ID Card today from the Bureau of Internal Revenue and I was surprised that the card wasn't what I expected. The card was just made out of simple brown cardboard. No lamination whatsoever. No wonder my photo wasn't taken when I requested for my id card. They said that I have to provide my own photo and have the card laminated.

Some friends told me that my TIN Card is an old one and that I should request for the new digitized version. But what I got today was the same as the one that I had. This got me confused so I had to ask the clerk if this is the new one and she said yes. The digitized ID was an old one according to her and that the one that I got is the new one. I guess I will just have to take her word for it. The card that I was expecting was kinda like the SSS card which is similar to a drivers license but I guess I was wrong.

  1. dude, don't post your TIN for the whole world to see. Protect it like you would your credit card number.

  10. Magkano po ba bayad mag apply ng BIR ID ? for DFA transaction po. Thanks

  11. hindi po iniiaacknowledge ng DFA ung mga ganyang id madali kasi mapepeke ung mga ganyang ID .. you've got is only TIN CARD not the bir id card mismo although galing din yan sa BIR ID card sabi nila makakakuha daw nun sa BIR makati atrium

  12. importante din yang TIN CARD but not exactly one of the VALID ID's na pwedeng IPRESENT kapag hinihingiian ka ng VALID ID ..so you must keep it also but pwede kanaman magpaISSUE ng VALID ID's check mo nalang DFA kung anu pang VALID ID's tinatanggap nila

  17. They don't accept postal id too as a valid id. kakatanong ko lang kasi may appointment na ako for feb 14. yung Digitized BIR ID is very confusing kasi ang sabi ng DFA parang sss id daw, ang sabi naman ng BIR wala silang ganon na id na nererelease. yung TIN CARD lang daw.

  19. Natry nyo po gamitin ang postal ID? So hindi po nila ttanggapin ang basta lng TIN ID? Db kailangan ipresent atleast one valid id at 3 supporting documents, panu kung ndi nila tanggapin yung tin id? Wala n po aq iba id kundi yun pero mdami nmn po aq supporting documents katulad ng voters id, postal id, nbi clearance, nso birth cert, nso mc, ? Ttnggapin b yan ng DFA, sna po matulungan nyo aa, nkaappointment po kc aq s DFA on Monday e.. Salamat.
