What is the Five-Digit Pin?
In order to transmit Form 2290 a Personal Identification Number (PIN) must be entered before transmission. This number is used to e-sign Form 2290 and is used as proof that you are not a robot similar to a captcha or a check box saying you are not a robot. This PIN also serves as your e-signature for your Form 2290. When inputting this PIN, you are able to enter any five digits except all zeros. You do not need to remember this PIN number for the future and the number can be different for different returns.
