Step 1: Log in to Your iTax Account

Step 2: Access the Registration Tab

Once you’re on the dashboard:

1. Look for the "Registration" menu at the top of the page.

1. Select the Details to Amend: The form will ask you to specify the sections you want to change, such as contact information, ID details, or other personal information. Check the relevant boxes.

2. Enter New Information: Go through the form and enter your updated information in the specified fields. Be as accurate as possible, as incorrect information can delay the process or cause complications.

In some cases, especially when changing ID or passport details, the KRA will require you to upload supporting documents. Here’s what to do:

1. Look for the “Supporting Documents” section in the form.

2. Upload clear, scanned copies of the required documents (e.g., new ID, passport, or any other official document).

3. Make sure the documents are legible and in the accepted formats (PDF, JPEG, etc.).

Step 7: Confirmation of Update

Once your amendment is approved, you’ll receive a notification via email. You can also log in to confirm that your KRA PIN information has been updated.

Updating your KRA PIN ensures that your tax records are accurate and up-to-date. If you have recently changed personal details—like your ID number, phone number, email address, or physical address—it’s essential to reflect these changes on your KRA profile.
