TIN Check Germany 2024

Germany is following the example of many of its European Union neighbors and is modernizing its tax system. With the tax identification number ( Steueridentifikationsnummer IdNr), the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Government have simplified the taxation process and reduced bureaucracy.
The IdNr will replace the long-term income tax number. This remains permanently valid and does not change, for example after a name change by marriage or after a change of marital status. The IdNr is an eleven-digit number and does not contain any information about you or the tax administration responsible.

For Entities (TIN)
