KRA eTIMS and ETR

What documents do I need to register for eTIMS?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

The core requirement is an active KRA PIN tied to your business, plus the identification KRA asks for at registration. Because KRA can update exactly what it requires, check the current list on the KRA portal or with your accountant before you start, rather than relying on an old checklist.

More detail

Your KRA PIN is the anchor of eTIMS registration, since the system links invoices to that PIN. Beyond that, KRA may ask for identification or business details depending on your setup.

The honest guidance is to confirm the current document list with KRA directly, because publishing a fixed list that later changes would set you up to arrive unprepared.
