The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) reported that over 52,700 Certificates of Registration (COR) with Registration Seal Badges have been secured under classifications covering online sellers, service providers, and content creators as of October 14, 2026.
Introduced through Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 38-2026, the Registration Seal Badge was designed to protect the privacy and personal information of online sellers, service providers, and content creators. It replaces the requirement under the 2024 regulations to publicly display the full COR or electronic COR (eCOR) on websites, social media business pages, and other digital platforms.
โThe Registration Seal Badge is meant to make online transactions safer and more convenient. A taxpayer should not have to expose an entire registration document just to prove that a business is registered. We want to make compliance easier while protecting the personal information of online sellers, professionals, and content creators,โ BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said.
The initiative forms part of the BIR DARES reform agenda, particularly Digital and Data Transformation, alongside electronic registration, digital TIN identification, the Taxpayer Portal, and the phased implementation of electronic invoicing. Together, these initiatives aim to simplify tax compliance and improve access to taxpayer services.
Under RMC No. 99-2026, the BIR extended the deadline for displaying the Registration Seal Badge until October 31, 2026, giving online sellers, service providers, content creators, and other covered taxpayers additional time to secure and display their badges.
The BIR encourages covered taxpayers who have yet to secure their Registration Seal Badges to do so and display them on their applicable online business pages and platforms. Consumers and prospective clients may likewise scan the badge to verify BIR registration before transacting online.
