Valid and invalid TIN matching characters
When TIN matching, a valid name consists of letters A-Z, a-z, space and hyphen. Which means that
. (period)
, (comma)
: (colon)
‘ (apostrophe)
and !@#$%^&*()+=<>”/[]{} are not allowed. Our TIN match ready program will look for and remove these characters and also removed any non-ascii character in the name. All of removed characters will be listed in the Potential Errors file.
The software will also check whether the TIN is 9 digits and just digits.
