With the development of government information systems in Russia and the introduction of electronic services, citizens have the opportunity to use government services without leaving their homes. So, today you can apply to the tax service for the assignment of a TIN remotely via the Internet. It became possible to find out your taxpayer identification number online, if it had already been assigned earlier. But what if the user needs not only the number itself, but also a document confirming tax registration? Is it possible to independently print an individual's TIN certificate by number? What to do if a previously issued certificate has been lost or damaged? The answers to these questions will be given later in the article.

Procedure for assignment and use of identifier

TIN is an identifier assigned to a citizen when registering for tax accounting. It plays only one role - it serves as a unique feature of one taxpayer, allowing you to distinguish it from others. The tax authority indicates the TIN physical. person in all notifications sent to him and uses it for reconciliation, identification of the taxpayer with payments received on his behalf, outstanding debts, etc.

The law does not oblige people who are not engaged in entrepreneurial activity to obtain a TIN. But to become an individual entrepreneur (IE) without this number will not work. When registering nat. a person as an individual entrepreneur, the tax authority assigns him a TIN by default, if it has not been assigned before.

In addition, the TIN can be assigned to a person without his knowledge, for example, if 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 applies to the tax office at the place of registration and submits a completed application and passport for verification;
• the tax authority examines the application, verifies the data and enters information about the new taxpayer in the state. registry;
• the applicant receives a certificate of registration with an indication of the TIN.

You can submit an application to the authorized body personally and 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.

Tax service e-services related to TIN

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

Statement of physical. persons on the tax account. You can form, register and send an application to the selected inspection, then track information about the status of its processing (see,). After the procedure is completed, the user will need to appear at the inspection to obtain a certificate in paper form; it is not provided in electronic form, which means that you cannot print your TIN from the website of the tax service.

Providing information about the already assigned TIN... If there is a 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 in this case it will not be possible to print the certificate via the Internet.

You can also find out your TIN on the State Services portal. It can be found by passport data. This service is available to all users with a Standard or higher account level. Since the service involves only identifying the number, it will not work to print the TIN from the State Service website either.

On a note: there is a very useful service on the State Services that allows you to determine the existing taxpayer's debt by TIN and pay it off or print tax receipts. It is located in the Tax and Finance section of the service catalog. Helpful to read how.

It turns out that it is not possible to obtain a TIN certificate on the State Services portal, as well as on the FTS website, so can it be printed out via the Internet at all?

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 of November 23, 2004 in the established form N 2-1-Accounting. Such forms are classified as security printed products. All of them have a series and number and are subject to registration.

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

So, it becomes obvious that it is impossible to print your TIN by number on your own. Even if you find and download form No. 2-1-Accounting from the Internet, fill out and print it, such paper will not have any legal force. Therefore, if you need to get a certificate for the first time, you can use the above methods. If you need to restore the lost document, you should contact the tax office personally or through a representative.

If the user has problems when working with the portal site, he will help to quickly solve them. Everything about how to get help from specialists.

Note: now you can get it on the State Services in a few clicks.

Repeated issuance of a TIN certificate

If the initial issue of the document is free of charge, then a state fee in the amount of 300 rubles must be paid for providing a duplicate of the lost certificate. You can transfer funds on the website of the Federal Tax Service, using the option "Payment of state duty" and following the prompts of the system.

A receipt confirming the fact of payment of the state duty, as well as an application in the form 2-2-Accounting (for the issuance of a duplicate certificate) and a passport should be transferred to the authorized body of the Federal Tax Service. This can be done in person, through a trusted person (in this case, you will also need a power of attorney) or by sending documents by mail. The deadline for the procedure is five working days from the date of receipt of the documents by the representatives of the Federal Tax Service.

On a note: if the taxpayer wishes, information about the TIN can be entered by the employees of the tax authority into the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (a mark is put on the 18th page). To do this, you need to appear at the FTS office at the place of registration, having your passport and TIN certificate with you. The operation takes no more than 15 minutes.

As you can see from this article, it is possible to obtain a TIN certificate only in an authorized department of the Federal Tax Service, and it is impossible to print the document yourself by number. An application for the assignment of an identifier and the initial issuance of a certificate can be made through the Internet using special electronic services.

Note: TIN replacement due to change of name, gender, date and place of birth is completely free. At the same time, the legislator separately notes that in these cases, the replacement of the TIN is not the duty of the citizen.

TIN in the passport of the Russian Federation

Any citizen of Russia has the right to apply to the tax authority and make a mark on page 18 of the Russian passport indicating the TIN.

The presence of a TIN in the passport of the Russian Federation makes it possible to simplify the procedure for confirming the compliance of information when processing various kinds of documents and transactions.

A mark indicating the TIN in the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation is made optional.

The next two are the number of the local inspection. After that comes six digits, which are the tax record number of the person as a taxpayer. And the last two are control numbers, to check the correctness, which are calculated using special methods.

TIN is most often a mandatory requisite for paying receipts, invoices, etc. But what if you need to indicate the TIN of a certain person? In this article, we will look at how to find out the taxpayer identification number of an individual. Remember now. But it is still required.

Where to go to find out?

At the moment, there are several ways to determine the taxpayer identification number - both your own and someone else's.

The Federal Tax Service provides this service. You need to apply to the branch in your region with a passport. The tax office will give you the TIN you are interested in. Please note the following if you find out your TIN without using the Internet.

In order not to waste time it is better to check home documentation and look for a certificate of registration there. If you were registered with the tax office, then the certificate, most likely, should be somewhere with you, and the required number is just indicated there.

And if you didn't, then you simply cannot have a TIN. Then you need to contact the local tax office and write an application for registration. The procedure can be carried out both as usual and urgently with an additional payment.

• the website of the Federal Tax Service - https://service.nalog.ru/inn-others.do;
• the website of "State Service" - https://www.gosuslugi.ru/pgu/fns/findInn.

On the website of the IFTS there are forms through which you can find out the TIN of individuals. In order to find out the taxpayer identification number of an individual, you need to fill out the appropriate form.

So, how to find out your TIN via the Internet using your passport? To do this, you need to enter your passport data and TIN, and then - the data of the individual for whom you need to find out the number.

If the TIN assigned to the person who has the specified data is found in the database, the site will only issue the request number. With this number, you need to go to the local tax authority, taking your identity documents with you.

In addition, you must have a receipt for payment for the relevant service with you. The amount to be paid is about 100 rubles. Authorities may not pay for this service, but must have a document confirming their affiliation with the authorities.

The form presented on the website of state services almost completely corresponds to the form from the Federal Tax Service. It is called "Find out your TIN". Based on the name, you can understand that it is better not to use this form in order to find out someone else's TIN. Anyway, after that you will have to contact the tax office to obtain the number itself.

You must show your passport there. And if on the FTS website you need to fill out an additional form, in which the information of the person recognizing the TIN is indicated, then it is not in public services.

The employee, seeing that the passport data of the bearer and the person who owns the TIN does not match, can simply refuse to issue the information. So, in order to find out someone else's TIN, it is still better to use the form on the FTS website, the link to which is given above. How to fill out an application for a TIN - read.

Algorithm of actions

Find out TIN by passport and documents

To obtain a TIN nat. persons offline, as such, a complex algorithm of actions does not need to be performed. It is required to contact the tax authority, where the responsible person, upon presentation of their documents and the provision of passport data of the individual of interest, will receive my TIN.

To find out this number online, you need to follow these steps:

1. Go to the FTS website.
2. Find "Find TIN" in the list of services and go to this page.
3. Choose whose TIN you need to find out - your own or someone else's.
4. For convenience, we will divide the subsequent steps into two lists - for our own and for someone else's INN.

To view your tax identification number, you need to do the following after completing the above.

1. Press the button "Find out your TIN".
2. Fill in information about yourself.
3. Enter the numbers from the picture.
4. Click "Send request".

If all the data is entered correctly and your TIN is in the FTS database, the site will immediately display it on the screen.

To find out the TIN of another individual you need to perform the following steps after going to the page of the "Find out TIN" service on the FTS website:

1. Press the button "Learn someone else's TIN".
2. Depending on who you are (natural person, legal entity, government representative) select the appropriate line in the “Applicant” column. The forms are different for each type of applicant. We will consider the option with the applicant - an individual.
3. Fill in the form "Information about the applicant - an individual". Here you need to enter information about yourself.
4. Fill out the form "Information about the requested person, in respect of whom the request for the presence of a TIN is sent." Here you enter information about the individual whose TIN you want to find out.
5. Enter the numbers from the picture.
6. Press the "Send request" button.
7. The system will give information about the presence of a TIN. If a person has been assigned a tax identification number, a request number can be obtained.
8. Pay for the service, keep the receipt.
9. Come to the local tax authority and present the request number previously obtained on the website, your passport and receipt of payment.
10. After completing these steps, the person in charge will give you the TIN of the person of interest.

The required information about the applicant and the requested person is almost identical.

Taxpayer identification number (only for the applicant and only in the case of obtaining someone else's TIN).

• f. and. O;
• Date of Birth;
• Place of Birth;
• what identity document (passport, birth certificate, etc.);
• information about the document, depending on the type of document itself.

Find out TIN by name and address

We are talking about the ability to find out the taxpayer identification number without having his full passport data, but knowing only f. and. O. or address of residence. The FTS does not provide such a service. At least there is definitely no online form for such a search.

You can contact the tax authority and ask to provide their TIN by the last name, first name and patronymic of the person... But in fact, the likelihood that you will be issued if you do not provide documents confirming that you have the right to receive it in this way is extremely small. It is still advisable to find out the rest of the passport data of the individual of interest.

Also, the method can be a service on the FTS website, which is designed to find out the TIN of an individual entrepreneur. The bottom line is that they are not registered as legal entities, and therefore the likelihood that you can find out the TIN of the person of interest is there.

The algorithm of actions in order to find out the TIN in this way:

1. Go to the page: http://egrul.nalog.ru/.
2. In the field "Search criteria" select "Individual entrepreneur / farm".
3. Enter the full name and region where the individual lives.
4. Enter the numbers from the picture.

If such an individual entrepreneur is registered in this area, the system will issue his TIN as a result of the search.

However, it is worth considering that the information there is limited - only TIN and OGRNIP. So there it will not be possible to check whether this person is needed.

In the case when several individual entrepreneurs are registered in the region with the requested f. and. So, the system will provide information about everyone and it will be impossible to understand which one you need.

According to SNILS

As such, there is no service in order to find out the TIN by SNILS. In order to find out if I have a TIN online, I need to enter data about the document, and SNILS is not a document. However, if you know SNILS, then you can also know f. and. O. person, which means that you can try to find out the TIN according to these data. The method is indicated above.

Find out the TIN of the notary

You can find out what taxpayer identification number from a notary, first of all, from him. If this is not possible, you should just look at the seal put by him. The seal must indicate the TIN of the notary who put it.

Information about this number is inside the seal, on the very last circle.

Yes, the numbers on the print are small, but you can make them out with a magnifying glass.

1. If you are not sure if the counterparty is providing a valid taxpayer identification number, it is very easy to verify this.
2. To do this, follow these steps.
3. Go to the page http://egrul.nalog.ru/.
4. Select "Individual entrepreneur / KFH".
5. Enter it f. and. O. and choose the area where he lives.
6. Enter the numbers from the picture.
7. Click "Find".

The system will display a list of individual entrepreneurs with relevant data in this area and their TIN. Thus, you will have the opportunity to verify its authenticity. The service is free of charge. In addition, in the same place, you can perform the opposite action - according to the TIN, find out f. and. O. and the region of the entrepreneur.

For a foreign citizen

Such an operation can be carried out without problems. To do this, you need to know the passport details of a foreign citizen.

You can also pierce the TIN on the website of the Federal Tax Service, in the same form where we can find the TIN for Russians (via the link - https://service.nalog.ru/inn-others.do). Just in the column "Type of identity document" you need to select a document owned by a foreigner. They can be:

• passport of a foreign citizen;
• birth certificate of a foreign citizen;
• residence permit of a foreign citizen;
• a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation.

The rest of the algorithm is completely identical to the TIN search algorithm for an individual according to passport data, which we presented in this article.

In conclusion, we can conclude that it is still easier to find out the taxpayer identification number using a special service on the FTS website than to personally carry out the entire procedure in the tax authorities.

Yes, if you find out someone else's TIN, you still have to go there, but you won't have to dictate your own and someone else's passport data - you just have to present the necessary documents and the request number obtained on the website.

So that the procedure does not require extra effort it is worth initially finding out all the necessary passport data of an individual, since the form on the site is designed specifically for this data.

As for your TIN, in order not to forget it in the future and not resort to such methods, you can ask the tax office to add it to page 18 of your passport.

This is the right of every citizen of the Russian Federation who is registered with the tax authorities.
