Is it possible to print out the TIN of an individual? persons by number via the Internet

TIN (stands for taxpayer identification number or individual taxpayer number) is a type of document that necessarily contains a certain sequence of numbers. All residents of the Russian Federation of working age must have this document. Without a TIN, it is impossible to officially get a job, start your own business (IP), and also use many government services.

At the moment, a taxpayer number is issued at a person’s birth, but for literally a couple of decades this was not the case, and after receiving the first passport, a citizen of the Russian Federation had to separately obtain a TIN.

What do the numbers in the TIN number mean?

All numbers in the TIN have their own, clear designation. For ordinary citizens (individuals), this document consists of the following 12 numbers, each of which means the following:

The first and second digits indicate the village or city, region or region where the document itself was issued.
The third and fourth digits are the number of the tax office that issued the certificate to the citizen.
Numbers 5 to 10 mean the taxpayer’s number; it is in them that you can find out all the information about an individual.
The last 2 digits are a special verification code, the purpose of which is to prevent possible errors, calculated according to a predetermined algorithm.

Individual taxpayer number (photo TIN) of an individual

The TIN of organizations and enterprises is slightly different, and it consists of only ten digits:

The first four digits are no different and mean the same as in the TIN of ordinary people (federal district and tax number).
Numbers five through nine (exactly one less) are the number of the person paying taxes.
And the last digit is a verification code; as you can see, for legal entities the verification code consists of only one digit, not two.

Meaning of a sequence of numbers

The TIN must be entered into the federal tax service database. In this case, the number does not change throughout the taxpayer’s life.

Depending on who was assigned the TIN, the total number of characters will differ and, as a result, there will be slight differences in the decoding of the number. Let us consider in detail the meaning of the numbers in the TIN for both individuals and legal entities.

For an individual

Ordinary citizens and individual entrepreneurs are assigned a number consisting of twelve digits, and the combination contains the following information:

The first two digits indicate the subject in which the registration was made.
The next two digits are the code of the structural unit of the federal tax service that issued the document.
After this, the number contains six digits, which indicate the number of the entry under which the citizen is included in the unified state register.
The two numbers at the end act as verification numbers. They are generated using a special algorithm and it is thanks to them that it is possible to verify the authenticity of the entire code.

For a legal entity

For legal entities, the TIN code is two digits less, but the decoding is generally similar:

The first two digits indicate the subject of the Russian Federation. It is worth noting that the interregional tax office is designated by the number 99.
The second pair of numbers indicates the number of the structural unit of the federal tax service.
This is followed by a five-digit sequence of numbers indicating the entry number under which the organization was entered into the unified state register.
The last digit is also a control digit and serves to verify the accuracy of the taxpayer identification number.

What does the Taxpayer Identification Number look like?

The TIN is issued on a thick beige sheet of A4 size, it must contain:

Last name, first name and patronymic of the document owner.
The date the person is registered and the certificate is issued to him.
Code of the department that issued the TIN to the citizen.
Direct TIN.
Signature and seal of the head of the tax department that issued the document.

Discuss the material on the forum

Where can I apply for and receive a TIN?

The place where they can draw up and hand over a document is different for individuals and citizens engaged in commercial activities. Ordinary citizens need to contact the Federal Tax Service (Federal Tax Service), taking with them a copy of their passport and an application. This is done in several different ways:

Go to the Federal Tax Service at your place of residence in person.
Send the completed application and a photocopy of your passport to the Federal Tax Service using Russian Post (a copy of your passport may need to be certified by a Notary).
Through a representative, who can be a parent or guardian of a minor, or an employer (in the case of official employment).
Submit applications through the official website of the Russian Tax Service (www.nalog.ru). Although you won’t be able to pick up a ready-made TIN through the website for obvious reasons, you will have to go to the tax office to get it.

Electronic services of the tax service related to TIN

The Federal Tax Service (FTS), through special electronic services posted on the official website of the department, provides the following services to citizens.

Staging physical persons for tax registration. You can generate, register and send an application to the selected inspection, then track information about the status of its processing (see how to order a TIN via the Internet). After the procedure is completed, the user will need to come to the inspection to receive a paper certificate; It is not provided in electronic form, which means you cannot print your TIN from the tax service website.

Providing information about the already assigned TIN. If you need to find out your taxpayer number, you can do this in real time by filling out a special form with personal and passport data. After the program processes the data, the TIN will be displayed on the screen, but even in this case, you will not be able to print the certificate via the Internet.

You can also find out your TIN on the State Services portal. It can be found using your passport details. This service is available to all users with an account level of at least Standard. Since the service only involves identifying the number, printing out the TIN from the State Services website will also not work.

Note: State Services has a very useful service that allows you to determine the taxpayer’s existing debt using the TIN and pay it off or print tax receipts. It is located in the “Taxes and Finance” section of the service catalog. It is useful to read how to find out the transport tax by TIN.

It turns out that it is not possible to obtain a TIN certificate on the State Services portal, as well as on the Federal Tax Service website, so is it even possible to print it out via the Internet?

Obtaining TIN for legal entities, enterprises and other organizations

For legal entities, there is only one single method of obtaining a TIN, namely, a completed application to the tax office, located exclusively at the registration address of an office, enterprise or some other organization. Both the direct manager of the company and his authorized person can submit an application to the Federal Tax Service (but in this case, the application will first need to be certified by contacting a notary). A certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur (or LLC) must be attached to the application, otherwise the issuance of a TIN will be refused.

The procedure for assigning and using an identifier

TIN is an identifier assigned to a citizen upon tax registration. It plays only one role - it serves as a unique feature of one taxpayer, allowing it to be distinguished from others. The tax authority indicates the TIN of the individual. person in all notifications sent to him and uses it for reconciliation, identification of the taxpayer with payments received on his behalf, debts he has, etc.

The law does not oblige people who are not engaged in entrepreneurial activities to obtain a TIN. But you won’t be able to become an individual entrepreneur (IP) without this number. When registering an individual of a person as an individual entrepreneur, the tax authority assigns him a TIN by default, if it has not been assigned before.

In addition, a TIN can be assigned to a person without his knowledge, for example, if it is necessary to collect tax. But in most cases, the basis for assigning a TIN to an object is an application of the appropriate form (No. 2-2-Accounting).

The standard scheme for assigning an identifier is as follows:

the object contacts the tax office at the place of registration and submits a completed application and passport for verification;
The tax authority reviews the application, checks the data and enters information about the new taxpayer into the state. registry;
the applicant receives a certificate of registration indicating the TIN.

You can submit an application to the authorized body in person or remotely. Registered users of the State Services portal and the official website of the tax service have the opportunity to do this using the Internet.

Users who have a verified account can register a legal entity. persons in public services.

Obtaining a TIN for children

Contrary to common misconception, children also need to obtain a TIN; until the child reaches the age of 14, parents or guardians receive a certificate for the child. To obtain a TIN from the tax office for a child without a passport, you will need:

Passport of one of the parents (guardians).
Child's birth certificate.
A certificate taken from the passport office, located exclusively at the place of registration of the child.

When you reach 14 years of age and receive a passport, the procedure is absolutely the same as for ordinary citizens, and the passport of one of the parents (guardians), and in addition to this, a birth certificate, will no longer be required; instead, you will need to provide the passport of the child himself .

TIN certificate

Information about the taxpayer and the TIN assigned to him is applied by the tax authority to the certificate form approved by the Order of the Federal Tax Service dated November 23, 2004 in the prescribed form N 2-1-Accounting. Such forms are classified as secure printing products. All of them have a series and number and are subject to accounting.

Form N 2-1-Accounting involves not only entering information about the taxpayer, but also indicating the name of the official of the tax authority who issued the certificate with his signature. In addition, according to the above-mentioned order, a protective holographic mark is applied to the form.

So, it becomes obvious that it is impossible to print your TIN by number yourself. Even if you find and download form N 2-1-Accounting from the Internet, fill it out and print it out, such a paper will not have any legal force. Therefore, if you need to obtain a certificate for the first time, you can use the above methods. If you need to restore a lost document, you should contact the tax office in person or through a representative.

Do foreigners need a TIN?

Everything depends on the activities of foreigners in our country. Foreigners who are in Russia exclusively as tourists do not need a TIN. You will never need a TIN to travel around the country. In other cases, you will still have to obtain it from the tax office, in particular for:

Obtaining permission for temporary residence or on the territory of Russia.
Official employment or creating your own business.
Acquisition of real estate in your own name located somewhere in the Russian Federation.
Registration of the purchased car with the State Traffic Inspectorate (TIN is not required for the purchase process itself).
For other transactions that are taxed in any way (for example, for the provision of paid services under an agreement between individuals).

Who can obtain a TIN for a foreign person from the tax office:

Directly the foreigner himself at the nearest tax office.
The employer is his authorized representative.

The process of obtaining a document from the tax office is no different from how citizens of the Russian Federation receive it.

At what age can a person receive a TIN?

The Tax Code or any other legal acts do not indicate the exact age for assigning a TIN. The owners of the document can be different persons at completely different ages.

The main condition under which a citizen of a country must have a TIN is payment of taxes. You can get an individual taxpayer number literally from birth, but this is not always a mandatory procedure for a person. If any real estate is not registered in the name of a child, or he does not receive an inheritance, then the certificate can be obtained at working age, in the event of getting an official job or starting his own business.

Where to go to obtain and replace a certificate

There are several ways to submit the required documents. Every citizen of the country already has a taxpayer number from his birth, but to document it, you must follow one of the algorithms:

You can go to the Federal Tax Service
at your place of registration or registration. Take all the necessary documents with you; tax service employees will help you fill out the application. In case of personal application, photocopies of documents are not required.

The second way is to send an application by mail
. It will need to be accompanied by copies of all papers from the list, their authenticity must be certified by a notary. When you send a letter, make sure that it is registered and has a notice. Check your department with the service; knowing the required inspection, finding out its address on the Internet is not a problem, but you will need to send a letter to it.
You can apply for registration through the Federal Tax Service online service
. In this case, you do not need to attach documents, but their originals will need to be taken to the service department you marked when you go to receive your certificate. You can do without documents if you have an electronic signature.
You can obtain a TIN certificate through the MFC
. The procedure for submitting documents is similar to submitting through the Federal Tax Service. Come to the multifunctional center with a package of papers upon appointment or take a queue ticket. You are invited to the required window, employees help with writing an application, if everything is correct, they register the application.

The TIN certificate will be ready 5-6 days after registration of your application.

Not all citizens' actual place of residence coincides with their place of registration. And no one wants to go to the tax office located at the place of registration (after all, the distance can be hundreds or even thousands of kilometers). Since 2012, it has become possible to obtain a TIN from the Federal Tax Service, which will be convenient for visiting. But previously it was impossible to do this and people had to visit a strictly defined Federal Tax Service, the reason for this lay in the absence of a unified tax register.

What cannot be done with the document on obtaining a TIN?

There are a number of things that cannot be done with a “paper” certificate of receipt of a TIN, in particular these:

TIN lamination. One of the most common mistakes people make. You cannot laminate a document; in this case, it becomes invalid. To preserve the integrity and appearance of the document, it is worth placing it in a multi-fork, but not using lamination in any way. Although in good offices that provide lamination services, a person will be warned about everything, not all companies work in good faith, and some people are ready to do anything just to get even a penny income.
The document is severely crumpled or otherwise damaged. If the TIN (certificate of receipt of an individual taxpayer number) is in terrible shape, it will not be accepted by any self-respecting organization. Therefore, you should not waste time if the document on obtaining a tax number is damaged; it is better to change it immediately, since then there may simply not be enough time for this, because they will not give you a duplicate TIN certificate instantly.
Various corrections in the document on obtaining the number. When receiving an INN (individual taxpayer number), you must immediately check all the data written in it. If something is indicated incorrectly (for example, your last name), it is better to return the document and wait for a new one to be made; corrections in any documents (not only the TIN) are punishable by law; in the worst case, for corrections in the TIN or other document, you can get a real criminal sentence.
Do not provide a TIN where it is not initially required. Most often, they try to illegally take possession of data in cellular communication stores; when purchasing a phone or other equipment, or when registering for SIM cards, a TIN is not required, this must be remembered. If the TIN is required in stores, most likely the seller is trying to transfer you to the Unofficial Pension Fund without your consent.

List of documents

A pleasant bonus for those applying for their first TIN will be the absence of any financial payment for receiving it. You just need to prepare the papers and use one of the methods for submitting them. You will need:

Identity card, a Russian passport
. For some categories of citizens, registration is possible using a military personnel ID card, refugee ID card, etc. ;

If another person is registering the TIN for you, then a notarized power of attorney is required.

Application
form for obtaining a TIN;
Information about place of residence
. This data is contained either in your passport, or you can bring a document confirming temporary registration.

Is it possible to change the TIN?

The numbers themselves (number) in the certificate of receipt of the TIN cannot be changed, but you can receive another document with a changed last name or first name (if the citizen has changed them). To do this, you must provide the Federal Tax Service:

Application for changing TIN.
Original and copy of passport.
Original and copy of marriage certificate (in case of data changes after marriage).
Old document with TIN.

A TIN with the changed data will be issued within a few days.

TIN is an individual taxpayer number; this number is assigned once and can only be changed by a certificate document. TIN for getting a job, doing business and for other types of activities.

Features of obtaining a TIN at the MFC

If multifunctional centers in your city accept applications for registration, you can submit documents here. The list of documents for obtaining a TIN does not differ from that required by the tax authority.

First, you need to contact the MFC in person or call to clarify information about the possibility of admission. Sign up for a convenient time or take a coupon for the electronic queue on the day of submitting documents. On site you can fill out the form according to form No. 2-2-Accounting. It will be issued by an employee at the reception. Filling out will take minimal time, since the information entered is minimal.

The standard preparation period is 5 days in case of contacting the tax authority directly. If you submit an application to the MFC, this period increases to 7-10 days. Additional time is needed to send documents. Here a receipt for receiving documents containing an identifier is issued. You can use it to track the readiness of the document on the organization’s website.
