Now go to: https://mapato1.kra.go.ke/itms/

Go to the New Taxpayer link and start the process.
Upon successful completion of the form with the correct Taxpayer Registration details, the system will allocate the ‘PIN’, ‘Password’ and ‘Security Stamp’. These will be sent to you through the e-mail address you have provided above.

  • PIN – Taxpayer Personal Identification Number
  • Password – your secret access number to use the system

    Please avail some time for training people on how to operate the new online services. if it’s proving to be difficult even to the people with the required knowledge,it’s greek to those without the knowhow. Like my case, whenever i try to apply for any doc. there is always a reply ‘GO TO KRA OFFICES’ & that makes me worder what’s the need for the service.

      Wanderi, once you’ve registered online an email is sent to you with the login details, where you’ll go back to the KRA website & log in using the details, provided and once logged on, you must change the password. Now go to the main menu & select Registration Certificate. The certificate will be displayed online, follow the printer sign at the top right corner to print the hard copy of the certificate. I f this doesn’t work visit a Cyber Cafe’ near you and am sure they’ll be able to help. Success.

  • http://google victor zakayo

    I tried applying online but it faied,then I went to the KRA offices in my town,they said my ID number was so recent and therefore its details were not available in the data bank,they told me to travel to Nairobi,which to me is very difficult since I have limited time to submit my HELB loan application forms,the university admission day is approachingand I need that PIN urgently what shuld I do?

    • http://uhusiano.blogspot.com Uhusiano – Admin, KwikFix

      Wherever you are please go to your nearest KRA offices they’ll be able to assist. The services are decentralized and you don’t have to go to Nairobi. However if push comes to shove then Nairobi you must go.

    pin no. application is very slow and is denying kenyans the chance to apply for pin no. and becoming tax payers.

  • nyambura

    hi, what does the bit that says ‘area’ mean under the physical address part? how do i know my area number?

  • Daniel

    KRA has utterly failed me in trying to register for a Non-Resident PIN. Every time i go to their website from whichever cyber i go to, i get an error message saying the records don’t match what’s already in the KRA system – the thing is I am applying for a “new” pin and therefore my passport number would not be in their system. Upon going to the KRA office locally I was simply told to go to a cyber to apply. In my opinion, the website system is not an ideal one and the paper forms should have been retained as a backup in situations such as for foreigners. I will probably end up having to go the KRA in Nairobi to try and get this situation figured out since my local branch has failed to assist me thus far.
