EVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 87-2021 issued on July 15, 2021 prescribes the acceptance of Philippine Identification (PhilID) Card as an acceptable supporting document for proof of address and valid proof of identification for all transactions or frontline services with the BIR.
All revenue employees/officials processing BIR frontline services requiring presentation of any valid government issued ID shall accept/allow the PSA-issued PhilID Card as proof of identification of the taxpayer. Presentation of the PhilID alone is sufficient as a valid proof of identification; hence, there is no need to require additional/other government ID to establish the identity of the taxpayer.
