KRA PIN Recovery โ€” Official Routes

Forgot your KRA PIN or iTax password? There is no need for any third-party "PIN checker" website โ€” KRA's own systems and official contacts recover it for you, safely and free.

1. Forgot the iTax password (the most common case)

  1. Go to the iTax login page: itax.kra.go.ke.
  2. Click "Forgot password" on the login screen.
  3. New credentials are sent to your registered email โ€” usually immediately.
  4. Log in and download your PIN certificate: Registrations โ†’ your PIN details โ†’ download PIN certificate.
iTax portal
itax.kra.go.ke โ€” KRA's own tax system

2. Company PIN?

Company PINs live under the company's iTax account โ€” the director or an authorised person resets the company login and views the PIN there. Directors' own PINs appear under their individual accounts.

3. Use KRA's official self-service line

KRA's published self-service line can verify your identity (e.g. with your ID number) and help you recover your PIN details:

KRA self-service line
0711 099 999 ยท 020 4999 999

Phone self-service typically takes minutes.

4. Official email support

KRA Call Centre
callcentre@kra.go.ke
Domestic Taxes Online Support
DTDOnlineSupport@kra.go.ke

If your registered email or phone is outdated, KRA's published process is to email callcentre@kra.go.ke with your PIN and scanned colour copies of your original ID (or certificate of incorporation for companies) for data correction.

5. KRA offices

You can also visit a KRA office in person with your original ID. Check the official kra.go.ke website for office locations and current procedures.

โš ๏ธ Safety warnings: Never share your KRA PIN, password or ID scans with anyone who contacts you โ€” KRA does not ask for your PIN by phone or SMS. Only use the numbers, emails and portals listed on kra.go.ke. No third-party website or "PIN checker" service is needed or authorised.

Educational guide, not professional advice. Confirm current rates and your situation on kra.go.ke or with a professional before filing.
