TIN Verification UAE

Check a UAE Tax Identification Number (TIN). Validate the 10-digit format, or paste a 15-digit Tax Registration Number (TRN) to derive the TIN and the Peppol participant ID. Then confirm the registered name on the official Federal Tax Authority (FTA) widget.

The e-invoicing pilot started on 1 July 2026. The phased rollout starts on 1 January 2027.

What a TIN is

The Tax Identification Number (TIN) is the first 10 digits of the 15-digit Tax Registration Number (TRN). That rule is set out in the Ministry of Finance UAE Electronic Invoicing Guidelines v1.0 (February 2026).

Example: TRN 100123456789003 gives TIN 1001234567. The Peppol participant ID for that TIN is 0235:1001234567.

Tax group members use their own standalone TRN, not the group TRN, to derive their TIN. Businesses in scope of e-invoicing that are not registered for any tax generate a TIN in EmaraTax.

The Peppol participant ID is 0235: followed by the TIN.

Read the Tax Identification Number guide . To check a full 15-digit number, use TRN verification .

How to verify a TIN on the FTA portal

The official check is the TRN/TIN verification widget. It is free and needs no login.

  1. 1.

    Validate the format here first

    Paste a 10-digit TIN, or a 15-digit TRN if you need the TIN derived from it, to rule out typos before you go further.

  2. 2.

    Open the FTA widget

    Go to the Federal Tax Authority page at tax.gov.ae/en/default.aspx and open the TRN/TIN verification widget. No login is required.

  3. 3.

    Choose TIN and enter 10 digits

    Select TIN, then type or paste the 10-digit number. If you started from a TRN, use the first 10 digits, not the full 15. A single wrong digit returns a false result, so copy and paste where you can.

  4. 4.

    Solve the captcha

    Complete the security check shown on the widget.

  5. 5.

    Read the returned name

    The widget returns the registered name. Match that name against the business you expect.

How to read the result

The widget returns the registered name. Treat the result like this:

  • The registered name matches the business

    Use this TIN. The Peppol participant ID is 0235: followed by the TIN.

  • The registered name does not match

    Stop and check the number. Tax group members derive their TIN from their own standalone TRN, not the group TRN.

  • No name is returned

    Do not treat the number as confirmed. Check the digits, then try the FTA widget again.

Why the TIN matters for e-invoicing

The e-invoicing pilot started on 1 July 2026. The phased rollout starts on 1 January 2027.

For businesses already registered, the TIN is the first 10 digits of the 15-digit TRN. Businesses in scope of e-invoicing that are not registered for any tax generate a TIN in EmaraTax. On the Peppol network the participant ID is 0235: followed by that TIN.

For the full explanation, read the Tax Identification Number guide .
