Q: How many digits are in a UAE TRN?

The Federal Tax Authority TRN verification field requires a 15-character Tax Registration Number.

Check whether a UAE Tax Registration Number has the required 15-digit format, then use the Federal Tax Authority portal for the real registration check.

Verification boundary

Format here, registration status at the FTA

The Federal Tax Authority website provides the official TRN verification service and requires a 15-character value. It can return the registered person details after its verification step. A browser-only format check cannot query that government register or prove that a business is currently VAT registered.

Step 1: format

This page removes visual separators and checks for exactly 15 digits.

Step 2: FTA lookup

Enter the TRN in the FTA checker and complete its verification challenge.

Step 3: match details

Compare the returned registered name with the invoice and supplier you are reviewing.

Working on an invoice? Pair this check with the UAE VAT calculator. The FTA tax-invoice checklist requires the supplier’s TRN on a valid tax invoice. A correctly formatted number alone is not evidence of registration.
