Detailed information
What is a taxpayer identification number (TIN)?
A tax number (TIN) is a unique digital code required for any official and financial activities in Ukraine. It is assigned to a person for life and serves for their identification within the tax system. It's important to know that anyone can obtain it, regardless of age or citizenship.
What we are used to calling an IPN (Individual Tax Number) actually has an official name — RNOKPP.
-
RNOKPP stands for "Registration Number of the Taxpayer's Account Card". This is your unique 10-digit tax number.
-
A "Taxpayer's Card" is the document itself (paper certificate) where this number is indicated.
-
DRFO stands for the "State Register of Natural Persons - Taxpayers". In simple terms, this is the state database where all RNOKPPs are stored.
Why does a foreigner need to get a TIN?
According to the current legislation of Ukraine, foreigners are required to obtain a taxpayer card if they:
-
plan to work in the territory of Ukraine;
-
plan to open bank accounts;
-
have assets subject to taxation as provided by current legislation, and are obliged to pay taxes and other mandatory fees;
-
are registering as a business entity in the territory of Ukraine;
-
are founders of a legal entity in the territory of Ukraine.
Only citizens of Ukraine can refuse to receive a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) due to religious beliefs. In such a case, tax accounting is carried out using the passport series and number, which is confirmed by a corresponding stamp in official documents.
Foreign citizens do not have the right to refuse to obtain a TIN if they plan to work, engage in business activities, open bank accounts, or carry out any financial transactions in the territory of Ukraine.
Where can a foreigner get a TIN in Ukraine?
Foreign citizens can obtain a taxpayer card at their place of registration or actual residence. To do this, one have to collect the required package of documents and apply to the Taxpayer Service Center of the State Tax Service of Ukraine.

How long does it take to obtain a TIN for a foreigner?
As a rule, registering a foreign national in the State Register of Individual Taxpayers takes 1 to 3 business days from the date the documents are submitted. In most cases, the taxpayer identification number (TIN) is issued on the day of application.
Exact timing may depend on the specific service center and the completeness of the document package provided.
Does a TIN have an expiry date?
No. A taxpayer identification number does not expire. It is assigned once and remains valid indefinitely, regardless of changes in place of residence, citizenship, or other circumstances.
Do I need to change my TIN if my surname, first name, or citizenship changes?
No. The identification number (TIN) itself does not change — it is assigned once for life. However, if your personal data change (surname, first name, citizenship, etc.), you must update the taxpayer card so it reflects the current information.
To do this, contact a Tax Service center and submit an application to update your taxpayer records. You will need the standard set of documents used for initial issuance, plus a document confirming the change in personal data (for example, a marriage certificate, court decision, new passport, etc.).
How do I replace a lost TIN?
If you have lost your taxpayer card, note that your tax number remains in the State Tax Service register. The number does not change — it is assigned once and forever.
To restore it, obtain a new certificate with your number. Contact a Tax Service center with your documents and apply for a duplicate taxpayer card.
The document package is the same as for initial issuance. If you still have a copy of your old card or know your TIN, be sure to mention it — this will help speed up the process.

Answers to popular questions
What is RNOKPP?
What’s the difference between RNOKPP and TIN?
There is no difference. These are two names for the same document/number:
-
RNOKPP is the current official name (registration number of a taxpayer’s account card).
-
TIN is the earlier term that is no longer used in official documents, but remains widespread in day-to-day communications.
In practice, both mean the same thing — your personal taxpayer identifier.
How can I find out my TIN?
How can I verify a TIN?
How many digits are in a TIN and how are they decoded?
The taxpayer identification number (TIN) consists of 10 digits.
The personal code shown on the taxpayer card encodes the following information:
-
the first 5 digits encode the date of birth (the number of days from 1 January 1900 to the date of birth);
-
the 9th digit indicates gender: even for females, odd for males;
-
the 10th digit is a check digit.
Can a minor child have a TIN?
Yes. A TIN can be issued even for a newborn. You can obtain a child’s TIN when registering the birth via eMalyatko, when issuing an ID card at age 14, or at a State Tax Service (STS) Taxpayer Service Center. One of the parents may submit the application for the child’s number.
Where can a foreigner without registered address obtain a TIN in Ukraine?
If you are in Ukraine without residence documents, the TIN must be obtained at a regional-level Taxpayer Service Center or in the city of Kyiv.

You will need a notarized power of attorney (we provide a template electronically) and copies of your documents (residence permit or passport). We will process the TIN remotely and deliver the original in any convenient way.
