Egypt Validation

Learn about the tax identification number validation requirements for Egypt.

Egypt has specific business tax identification number requirements. Egypt requires both a Unique Identification Number (UIN) and a Tax Registration Number (TRN) to validate an Egyptian tax number.

The TRN identifies the business for tax purposes. The UIN identifies the party and is specific to the business. The UIN must be renewed every 12 months.

The Egyptian tax authority requires sellers to collect both identifiers from customers and include them in the validation request. The service verifies that the UIN and TRN are linked. You cannot validate a TRN without a UIN.

Use the taxRegistrationNumber field for the TRN and the taxRegistrationAdditionalId field for the UIN.
