How to find out statistics codes by TIN online
We read carefully. Companies registered before 2013 received a separate notification from Rosstat with a seal and signature on a form that contained all statistics codes , including OKVED. Later the codes were divided.
OKVED codes began to be indicated in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities extract. They are not included in the statement automatically. First, the company goes through the state registration procedure and indicates its types of activities in the Charter and Application for Registration. You can write as many codes as you like; there are no legal restrictions. After state registration, the regulatory authority issues an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs with the selected codes (the ones you indicated in the application). Thus, we receive OKVED during company registration. They can be changed by submitting a corresponding application to the regulatory authority. You can view OKVED codes in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities extract using any service, for example the tax service.
Other statistics codes (OKPO, OKATO, etc.) remained in the Rosstat notification. The notification of the statistics agency has become electronic and is posted on a special service. To view statistics codes, use the Rosstat service. Enter your TIN and view the received data in the open window. To download them on a sheet, click “Export”.

Briefly about OKPO
All registered legal entities, as well as organizations that do not have the status of a legal entity, and individual entrepreneurs (including notaries and lawyers) receive a code according to the all-Russian classifier of enterprises and organizations. Digital code values indicate the type of business activity carried out by an enterprise or organization.
The OKPO code is assigned automatically by the FSGS according to the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs and the Unified State Register of Legal Entities once and for the entire period of activity of the business entity.
Replacement of the code is allowed in cases of change in the direction of the subject’s activity. Liquidation of an enterprise or organization entails cancellation of the code and its conservation for a period of at least 5 years.
The OKPO code, as a mandatory requisite of a business entity, is mandatory for carrying out legal activities in the field of business.
The OKPO code does not belong to the category of information that has confidentiality characteristics, and therefore anyone can obtain information about an enterprise or organization using the OKPO code. There is a demand for a procedure for obtaining information about a business entity in order to verify its reliability.
Why do you need the OKPO code?
This code is used to ensure that statistics and economic indicators are comparable to each other. This code is included in the register of legal entities at the national level. The OKPO code allows you to determine which area the company belongs to, and with its help you can obtain information about the activities of legal entities. The OKPO code conveys more general information than the OKVED code. This is a generalized industry indicator that is often similar for organizations with different areas of activity.
Today this is one of the main identification codes of the organization, since on its basis other codes will be assigned to the state of emergency. All legal entities have this code, regardless of their size.
How to find out OKPO
When issuing statistical codes contained in the All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations (OKPO), the FSGS website will also provide you with a breakdown for the legal entity or individual entrepreneur you are interested in.
You can obtain the required data, that is, the OKPO code, by entering information about the TIN in the provided field. There is no need to enter the letter designations of the TIN; it will be enough to enter only the numeric designations contained in the TIN (10 or 12 digital characters).
Available information about the features of OKPO - video
This video contains all the brief but succinct information about OKPO, its decoding and purpose. We recommend that all beginners and experienced entrepreneurs, as well as those who are just striving for this, familiarize themselves with it.

OKPO classifier structure
It has two sections. The first stores data on legal entities, their branches and representative offices, as well as organizations operating without forming legal entities. The second section contains information about individual entrepreneurs.
In fact, sections are two parts of the table, where one line corresponds to one organization or one individual entrepreneur. The table has three columns (they are called blocks):
- The identification block is the OKPO code. It can be eight-digit (for companies) and ten-digit (for entrepreneurs). All characters except the last one represent a serial number. The last character is the check number. It is calculated by Rosstat using a special methodology.
- Name block. For organizations, indicate the full and abbreviated name in Russian, and if available, also in English. For individual entrepreneurs, indicate the status (individual entrepreneur), as well as last name, first name, patronymic in the nominative case.
- The block of classification characteristics consists of codes for six classifiers, including territorial (OKTMO) and organizational and legal forms (OKOPF). Plus, the third block lists codes by type of economic activity (OKVED).

Deciphering OKPO
The OKPO code is one of the most significant for a businessman, because it is on its basis that he receives other types of encodings. Without OKPO, an enterprise cannot legally carry out its activities; this combination of numbers is necessary for many important papers necessary for the operation of the enterprise.
The abbreviation “OKPO” means “All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations”.
According to this classifier, an entrepreneur is registered in the Rosstat database for one or another type of activity specified by him.
What is the All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations (OKPO) intended ?
Once in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs or the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the entrepreneur receives this number in his first registration extract from this register. As long as he is listed as an entrepreneur, this OKPO number will be assigned to him; it can only be changed if he changes his type of activity.
REFERENCE! The OKPO classifier was put into effect by Decree of the State Standard of the Russian Federation No. 297 of December 30, 1993, and statistical authorities received the obligation to assign it to individual entrepreneurs only in 1999.
