SEC Notice 03-2025

SEC Issued a Notice on Tax Identification Number (TIN) Validation for SEC Online Systems

03 March 2025

Please be advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will soon implement the Tax Identification Number (TIN) validation service across all SEC applicable online systems.

This TIN validation service facilitates data exchange between the SEC and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) through an Application Programming Interface (API). This integration enables the verification of submitted details by cross-checking them against BIR records as follows:

• For individuals: Name, TIN, date of birth, and sex
• For non-individuals: TIN, company name, and registration date

To prepare for this implementation and avoid delays in accessing SEC online systems, you may try to verify your TIN through the BIR Online Registration and Update System (ORUS) https://orus.bir.gov.ph/home. If you are prompted that your TIN does not match or cannot be found, kindly coordinate and check your records with the nearest BIR Revenue District.

Thank you.
