HireRight Background Check – TIN ID Issue

Hi! I’m currently undergoing a pre-employment background check through HireRight.

I uploaded my TIN ID as one of my identification documents. However, I recently personally visited the BIR for TIN verification and was informed that my TIN number is legitimate, but the physical TIN ID was invalid and was confiscated. I was not aware that it was invalid when I uploaded it. Someone assisted me in processing my TIN before, so I genuinely thought the ID was legitimate. I was young pa po kasi noon and wala pa po k knowledge noon regarding po sa mga ganito.

BIR advised me to process an RDO transfer through BIR Form 1905, which I am currently doing.

I also proactively uploaded my valid PhilHealth ID to HireRight and explained the situation regarding the TIN ID.

My question is: Would this be considered a red flag that could cause me to fail the background check? Has anyone experienced something similar with HireRight?

Thank you po!
