Create your UIN, or Tax Identification Number, is an essential step for anyone who wants to stay compliant with tax regulations in Cameroon.
This unique identification number is now mandatory for various administrative and financial procedures, such as opening a bank account, setting up an ENEO electricity line, or getting a free VISA bank card with Neero Cameroon — the first 100% digital bank in the country.
Once you have created your NIU, you will not only be able to meet your tax obligations, but also access financial services and complete several public service procedures. In this article, we show you how to create your NIU in Cameroon in a few simple steps — or recover it if you’ve lost it.
Since April 2025, the process of obtaining a NIU is done entirely online through the official portal of the Directorate General of Taxation: teledeclaration-dgi.cm.
