The International Player Identification Number (IPIN) serves as a unique identifier assigned to tennis players competing in International Tennis Federation (ITF) tournaments.
This permanent number remains with players throughout their competitive careers, functioning as their digital passport for participation in ITF-sanctioned events across all categories.
Registration Process
Players must register using their ITF-registered email address.
For those without access to their registered email, the ITF provides category-specific support through dedicated email channels for professional tours, juniors, seniors, and wheelchair tennis divisions.
Technical Requirements
Registration begins at the official IPIN portal (ipin.itftennis.com), where players create their ITF tennis identity through a comprehensive verification process.
This includes email verification, password creation, and language preference selection. Players must establish a unique passphrase for future identity confirmation with ITF.
Profile Creation and Circuit Selection
The process requires detailed player profile creation, including personal information and circuit selection.
Players must individually select their intended competitive circuits, as each requires separate registration. For players under 18, parental or guardian supervision is mandatory during the Player Welfare Statement acknowledgment.
Terms and Payment
Players must review and accept the ITF’s terms and conditions before proceeding to payment.
The system directs users to WorldPay for secure payment processing. Upon successful payment, players receive confirmation and access credentials for their IPIN account via email.
Modern Implementation
The IPIN system represents tennis’s adaptation to digital age requirements, providing a standardized identification method across all ITF competitions.
This system ensures proper player tracking, tournament eligibility verification, and maintains competitive integrity across all levels of ITF competition.
