How to check my KRA pin using ID number
Fortunately for people that need t access their Pins in such situations there is a quick solution to your dilemma. All you need is to have an ID with you. First you take advantage of social media pages. Scan your ID and post the scanned copy on KRA’S official page and request for your Pin number.
You need to inform them that you forgot your password and as such are unable to access it directly from their portal. Alternatively you can tweet the scanned KRA pin copy to their twitter handle. The KRA media team will reply to your posts in less than an hour’s time.
If social media is not your thing then consider sending the scanned ID copy to their official email address which is callcenter@kra.go.ke. The last method would be visiting the KRA offices with your ID and request for assistance on the same.
However, experience has proven that the method of asking for assistance via social media sites is the most effective as late response is guaranteed. Email I the poorest as they almost always never reply to emails. If you have your login details then you can access your PIN on the portal directly.
