A taxpayer identification number, TIN for short, can either be for individual or a corporate body. Thus, the procedural steps will be divided between individual and corporate entity.

3. Upon submission of the form, your bio-metric data will be captured
4. A temporary (form) number will be issued to you after the data capturing and this number can be used to query your data, if need be.
5. When your data are fully processed, your TIN will be issued to you.
6. You will finally be issued a TIN card that carries your data
