If you're like my client who couldn't remember what her TIN number is, there's a very simple way to learn the essential nine digit number. Call up the BIR Contact Center at 981.8888. Please be reminded that this action that I'm describing in this post is only applicable for individuals with an existing TIN number. For other circumstances, please visit the BIR website.
After the automated voice welcome message, the first option is immediately TIN verification and registration inquiry. Press 1 and you will be forwarded to a BIR Contact Center agent.
The BIR Contact Center agent will ask if the person calling is the individual concerned. Only the taxpayer may inquire regarding his own TIN. Security questions such as full name, date of birth and mother's maiden name will be asked. Once the agent is satisfied with the taxpayer's identity, he will provide the requested TIN number.

And then, of course, you may use the client's TIN with any real estate transaction that requires it.
