BIR ORUS Login 2026: Steps, OTP and Common Errors

Quick answer

Your ORUS username is your email address, the same one you used to create the account. Enter it with your password on orus.bir.gov.ph and click Login. eFPS is different: it asks for your TIN, an eFPS username and password, and then your challenge question.

What do you need before you start?

  • A verified ORUS account. New? Register first and open the verification email within 24 hours.
  • Your email and password. Forgot the password? Reset it instead of creating a new account.

How do you do it, step by step?

  1. 1. Open https://orus.bir.gov.ph

    Check that the address matches the one on this page exactly.

  2. 2. Click Login at the upper-right of the screen

  3. 3. Enter your email address and password, then click Login

  4. 4. Your ORUS Account Home Page opens

    Choose the service you need, or open Profile to see your TIN, RDO and COR.

  5. 5. Log out when you finish

    ORUS also logs you out by itself after a period of inactivity.

Logging in to eFPS

  1. 1. Open https://efps.bir.gov.ph

  2. 2. Enter your TIN (9 digits) and branch code

    If you leave the branch code blank, eFPS uses 000.

  3. 3. Enter the username and password you set when you enrolled

    Both are case-sensitive.

  4. 4. Answer your challenge question exactly as you wrote it at enrollment, then submit

What if it does not work?

  • "Your email address or password is incorrect."

    check the email for typos, then the password. Still wrong? Reset your password.

  • "Account is not validated yet. Please check your email for the verification link."

    find the "Account Verification" email and click the link. See OTP link expired if it no longer works.

  • "You have been temporarily locked out of your account due to multiple invalid log-in attempts…"

    wait 30 minutes. See temporarily locked out.

  • "The system has detected that this account is currently logged in to another browser. Please log out from the other browser if you want to continue."

    log out on the other browser or device first.

  • eFPS says "User does not exist on the database."

    the username or password is wrong. Check capital letters.

Frequently asked questions

Is my ORUS login the same as eFPS?

No. They are separate systems with separate accounts. ORUS uses your email; eFPS uses your TIN, a username and a challenge question.

Can I log in to ORUS on my phone?

Yes, through a mobile browser. A computer is easier when you need to upload several documents.

Why does ORUS say my password expired?

ORUS asks users to change their passwords from time to time. Set a new one of at least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers and a special character.

Can my accountant log in for me?

Do not share your password. ORUS has tax agent accounts that can manage a taxpayer's registration on their behalf, so your agent does not need your login.
