Registering with AIRS
Get an ASIN (Anambra State Identity Number) on the AIRS self-service pages. AIRS describes it as a one-time, electronically generated number.
AIRS's tax management system gives each taxpayer a tax ID and each assessment its own assessment ID, which you can look up on the assessment portal.
Paying AIRS, and paying late
AIRS sends online payments through Quickteller (quickteller.com/anambraigr) and lets you print an e-receipt on its assessment portal.
A notice of Best of Judgment assessment becomes final unless you object or pay within the notice period; in May 2026 AIRS allowed 30 days plus a seven-day extension.
AIRS offices
AIRS headquarters is No 1 Esther Obiakor Estate, Agu-Awka, Awka, open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. AIRS says it has 26 other offices across the state.
