The TIN is issued by the Nicaraguan governments tax authority, the Dirección General de Ingresos (DGI), and is mandatory for individuals and entities that engage in commercial and economic activities.

The TIN is a 14-digit number that consists of a prefix, a hyphen, and a sequence of digits. The prefix is determined based on the type of entity or individual that is applying for the TIN. The hyphen separates the prefix from the sequence of digits, which are assigned by the DGI.

To obtain a TIN, individuals and entities must submit an application to the DGI and provide supporting documentation, such as a copy of their identity card or passport, proof of residence, and proof of business registration. Once the application is processed and approved, the DGI issues a TIN to the applicant.
