For business TINs, CAC registration details are sometimes linked. If the TIN validation page doesn’t show anything, you can cross-check by contacting the FIRS office in your state. They’ll confirm if the TIN is active. Not everything is digitized yet, so old records may still need manual confirmation.

I usually validate TINs using the FIRS or JTB site. But note: if the TIN was just recently issued, it might take a few days to reflect online. If you’re getting “not found,” try again after a week. Also, ensure you enter the correct format—no spaces or special characters. That small mistake once cost me hours of confusion!

To validate a Tax Identification Number (TIN) in Nigeria, you can use the official FIRS portal. Here’s what to do: 1. Go to the Joint Tax Board TIN verification page. 2. Enter the TIN (or BVN/NIN if applicable). 3. Submit, and it will display the registered name and details tied to that TIN. If the number is invalid, you’ll get an error. This works for both individuals and businesses. It’s super handy if you’re verifying contractors or suppliers.
