What Is KRA PIN Recovery?

KRA PIN Recovery is the process that a taxpayer follows in order to recover or retrieve his or her lost KRA PIN Number and the KRA PIN Certificate using Cyber.co.ke Portal‘s KRA PIN Retrieval service. The KRA PIN Recovery process entails two key aspects i.e. recovery of the KRA PIN Number if the PIN has not yet been updated or migrated to iTax Portal and recovery of the KRA PIN Certificate if the PIN is already on iTax Portal. This process is sometimes referred to as KRA PIN Retrieval and taxpayer can easily place order for KRA PIN Retrieval using Cyber.co.ke Portal.

As a process, KRA PIN Recovery enables the taxpayer to recover and retrieve either the KRA PIN Number or the KRA PIN Certificate. This is because there are some KRA PIN Numbers of many taxpayers in Kenya which have not yet been updated or migrated to the KRA iTax Portal upto today. The same also applies to KRA PIN Numbers that are already on iTax Portal but the owners have forgotten and thus the need to retrieve and recover the KRA PIN Certificate.

So, from the definition you can note that the recovery process entails the recovery and retrieval of either the KRA PIN Number or the KRA PIN Certificate. All these depends on whether or not the KRA PIN is on iTax Portal or not yet on iTax Portal. So, a taxpayer can either choose to recover his or her KRA PIN Number that is not yet on KRA iTax Portal and have it updated on iTax Portal using the KRA PIN Update services at Cyber.co.ke Portal.

When you get the following message on iTax Portal; “A PIN has been issued for entered National Identity Number. Kindly enter a different National Identity Number or consult nearest KRA office for clarification” This simply means that your KRA is already on itax and you need to retrieve the KRA PIN Certificate online using KRA PIN Retrieval services at Cyber.co.ke Portal and have the KRA PIN Certificate sent to your email address within 30 minutes of submitting your order.
