# How to register for a sales tax permit in Virginia

| Sidr Tax creates the sales tax account for you. However, this state requires that you have your own login and we access your account as a third-party.

### Access your sales tax account with your [Virginia Tax Online Service](https://www.business.tax.virginia.gov/VTOL/tax/Login.xhtml) login

After Sidr Tax finishes your registration, we will provide you with your sales tax ID. You can access that information by going to the [registration page](https://tax.sidr.io/registrations) and clicking on the details button.

If you see the username and password, you can login to the [Virginia Tax Online Service](https://www.business.tax.virginia.gov/VTOL/tax/Login.xhtml).
* The account number is your FEIN. Your sales tax ID has this format: XX-XXXXXXXXXF-001. Your account number is the 9-digit number after the first dash (-), before the letter **F**.
