Encountering problems with your Certificate of Registration (COR) can be a stressful experience, especially when you're unsure of how to resolve them. It's important to understand that while your POS provider is a valuable partner in many aspects of your business operations, there are certain COR-related issues they simply cannot address. These are typically related to information that is automatically populated on your COR and originates directly from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) database. Because your POS provider doesn't have access to modify this underlying data, your only recourse is to contact your issuing Revenue District Office (RDO) directly and report the problem as soon as possible.
Here's a breakdown of the specific COR items that your POS provider cannot change and require direct RDO intervention:
Revenue District Office (RDO) that issued your COR is automatically populated and cannot be altered by your POS provider. Any discrepancies or errors in this field must be addressed with the RDO.
TIN of Company. Your Tax Identification Number (TIN) is a unique identifier assigned by the BIR. It's automatically populated on your COR and is beyond the scope of your POS provider's access. Any issues with your TIN should be reported to the RDO.
Registered Name. The official, registered name of your business is also automatically populated and cannot be changed by your POS provider. Corrections or updates to your registered name must be handled through the RDO.
Business Address. Your registered business address is another field that is automatically populated on your COR. Your POS provider has no control over this information. If your business address has changed or is incorrect on your COR, you need to contact the RDO to update it.
Line of Business. The line of business you declared during registration is automatically populated on your COR. Your POS provider cannot modify this. If you need to update or correct your line of business, you must coordinate directly with the RDO.
Business Name. While you may use a trade name different from your registered name, the official business name on your COR is automatically populated from the BIR's records. Your POS provider cannot change this. Any discrepancies should be reported to the RDO.
Because these data points are directly linked to your BIR registration, only the RDO can make the necessary corrections or updates. Attempting to resolve these issues through your POS provider will likely be unproductive, as they lack the necessary access.
Therefore, it's crucial to contact your issuing RDO immediately when you encounter any problems with these automatically populated fields on your COR. Prompt action will help prevent further complications and ensure your COR accurately reflects your business information.
