TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) provides the population of our country with a wide range of opportunities. With this unique code, individuals have the right to officially find out the status of their own, declare income and make certain transactions. Therefore, when a citizen loses a TIN certificate, a logical question immediately arises before him, how to get a duplicate TIN of an individual, if possible via the Internet, in order to significantly save his precious time.

What should be done if a citizen has lost the TIN?

The TIN number is automatically assigned to a specific one at the moment when there is a need to keep tax records in relation to it. Our state registers taxpayer numbers and carefully stores them in a special electronic registry. If the form of the TIN certificate is damaged or lost, each person always has the opportunity to restore a duplicate TIN and get it in his hands in any way convenient for him.

One of these methods is the collection and submission of documents to the tax office. The list of documents that a citizen must provide is not so great:

• first of all, it is a citizen's passport;
• a document that certifies the address of registration;
• an application in form 2.2 for the re-issuance of a copy of the TIN;
• receipt (check) on payment of the state duty for registration.

This package of documents can be brought personally to tax officials or transferred through your representative, there is also the option of sending a registered letter through the Russian Post.

A visit to the tax office (wasting personal time for consultations, standing in long lines and re-applying for the result) can be avoided if you use modern technologies and try to get a copy of the TIN of an individual via the Internet.

Is it possible for the population to receive a copy of the TIN via the Internet?

It is easy to guess that the majority of citizens, in order to quickly find information, would rather prefer using a thematic Internet portal to a personal visit to government offices. Where on the Internet can you request a copy of the TIN of an individual?

If you have lost the paper version of the TIN certificate, then the website of the Federal Tax Service (nalog.ru) will provide an opportunity to restore it.

Within 24 hours, an e-mail with a response from the tax office should be sent to your e-mail. The letter will indicate the address of the branch, where in the future it is necessary to approach with the state duty receipt already paid. The amount payable is 300 rubles.

Important! Restoration of the TIN certificate due to loss or damage is a paid service. The amount of the state duty for 2016 is 300 rubles. At the same time, the initial receipt of a certificate is always free for every citizen.

There are situations in life when a person has absolutely no opportunity to personally visit the tax office to collect a certificate (for example, a citizen lives in a place remote from the regional center, works according to a schedule, etc.). For this category of the population, the state offers a time-tested method - contacting the post office. An application is attached to the letter to the department of the Federal Tax Service at the place of residence (or at the place of your current stay) and sent via mail with a return receipt in the established form “2.2 Accounting”. A sample form can be downloaded here on the site. Do not forget to certify and enclose copies of documents proving your identity and registration in advance.

How to speed up the process of obtaining a copy of the TIN using an electronic digital signature?

If at one time you became the owner, then you have two options for obtaining a TIN certificate of an individual - by registered mail through the Russian Post and in electronic form.

• download and install on your computer a special program "Legal Taxpayer". It will help to fill out the form "2.2 Accounting". If you want to receive an electronic version, then together with the application, fill out a request in the form "3 Accounting";
• prepare with the help of the "Legal Taxpayer" a shipping container, inside which contains a classified application in cipher, as well as a request "3 Accounting". They need to be certified with your digital signature.

As a result, a certificate in the form of a PDF file is sent to your e-mail. It will be confirmed by an electronic digital signature of an employee of the tax department. Additionally, by mail to the address of residence (stay) indicated by you in advance, a registered letter with a paper version of the TIN will be sent.

Is it possible to get a duplicate TIN of an individual through the State Services?

At the current time, the single portal of the State Service has ceased to assist in obtaining a copy of the TIN for individuals. Not so long ago, this service was abolished. It is not possible to obtain a duplicate TIN of an individual through the State Services.

But you can in a few minutes on this site, it is enough to have an authorized account.

This is interesting! A citizen will be able to restore the TIN certificate, even without permanent or temporary registration. Most importantly, you need to submit an application to the FTS department at the place of initial issue of the TIN document and pay a state fee of 300 rubles.

As practice shows, ordering a duplicate of the TIN certificate of an individual to replace the lost one is available to the population by all the methods listed above. The only drawback when ordering a duplicate TIN via the Internet is the need for personal presence when receiving a paper copy.

The taxpayer identification number is a numerical code used to keep records of taxpayers of the Russian Federation, both legal entities and individuals. This code consists of 12 digits. Despite the fact that the assignment of a TIN is a voluntary matter, its loss does not bode well. Since the identification number does not change throughout a person's life and is stored in the Unified State Register of Taxpayers, it can be obtained again.

How to restore the TIN in case of loss - tax inspection body

On the State Services website, it is possible to order the initial issuance of the TIN form in real time. This service is provided free of charge. Re-obtaining a document is allowed only if there is an electronic digital signature (EDS), which is specially issued for use within the state portal.

How to restore the TIN in case of loss by mail

An identification number is issued only at the place of official registration of a citizen, so sometimes it is inconvenient for a person to travel far to his native land. Then you need to take these steps:

• Get a notarized copy of your passport.
• Pay the fee.
• Correctly fill out the form 2-2-Accounting.
• Fold the list of documents listed above into an envelope and send it by registered mail with a notification to the address of the tax office.

How to restore a TIN in case of loss - transfer authority to a legal representative

Your authorized representative with a power of attorney issued by a notary will solve the problem of recovering a lost TIN:

• Stand in line at the tax office.
• Complete all paperwork.
• Pay the necessary fees.
• Pick up the finished document and deliver it to you.

If you need help of a reference and legal nature (you have a difficult case, and you don’t know how to draw up documents, the MFC unreasonably requires additional papers and certificates or refuses at all), then we offer free legal advice:

• For residents of Moscow and Moscow Region -

Yes, you can. The MFC acts as an intermediary between citizens and the tax office, therefore, it will take more time to restore the TIN of an individual if lost at the MFC than a direct appeal to the tax authorities.

The term for making a duplicate TIN through the MFC is usually 5-7 days, a tax document will be prepared in 2-5 days.

It is important to know that multifunctional centers do not issue duplicate tax certificates in all regions of the Russian Federation. For example, in Moscow this service is provided by MFCs in only fifteen districts. This question is better to clarify in advance by phone.

The replacement of the TIN at the MFC is carried out only upon personal contact; this service is not provided online.

Step 1. We prepare the necessary documents

The following documents are required to receive the service:

1. Passport.
2. A document confirming the presence of a residence permit, if there is no stamp about it in the passport.
3. Application, the form of which will be issued by a specialist. To save time, you can print it from the Internet and fill it out yourself.
4. Receipt for payment of state duty. The primary TIN certificate is issued free of charge; to restore the lost document, you must pay the state 300 rubles. Urgent production of a form will cost a citizen 2 times more.

When receiving a document for a minor, you must provide his birth certificate or passport.

For foreigners

A foreigner is also entitled to restore the TIN through the MFC in case of loss. In addition to the application and state duty, he will need:

• passport and residence permit with a mark of registration at a specific address (for persons with a residence permit);
• passport with a mark on permission to temporarily reside in the Russian Federation and a mark on registration at the address (for persons with TRP);
• passport and a detachable part of the Notification of Arrival in the Russian Federation or a migration card with FMS marks (for foreigners temporarily staying in Russia).

All papers submitted in a foreign language must have a notarized translation.

Step 2. Visit to the MFC

Multifunctional centers accept applicants in the order of a "live" electronic queue (take a ticket on the spot) or by:

1. Through the local (if such a service is available in the region of circulation). You must first register on the State Services Portal.
2. By a single telephone hotline of the MFC or the contact number of the selected department of the center.

Upon submission of documents, an employee of the institution will issue a receipt-notification to the applicant, which will indicate the approximate date of readiness of the TIN certificate.

Step 3. Obtaining a duplicate TIN

The readiness of the TIN can be found in several ways:

• by receipt number, check the status of the application through the center's local website;
• call the hotline of the MFC (or the contact number of the department that accepted the documents);
• in some regions, the centers inform the applicant via SMS mailing (check with the employee when submitting papers).

For a citizen, an authorized person can pick up a duplicate TIN. To do this, you need to issue a notarized power of attorney for him. If the representative is still submitting papers, then a copy of the passport of the person who has lost the TIN certificate is also certified by the notary.

Benefits of contacting the MFC

Contacting the multifunctional center is convenient for the following reasons:

• the probability of an error when filling out the application is minimal, since it is checked by an authorized employee;
• centers are located everywhere and have a work schedule convenient for the population, which is especially important for working citizens;
• there are many “windows” at the MFC, and there are rarely long queues, usually the waiting time is less than 15 minutes;
• pre-registration is possible.

Law enforcement practice on the territory of the Russian Federation says that it is easier to carefully store a document than to lose it and then painfully restore it. A citizen has to go through many difficulties before he receives a duplicate and can again feel like a full member of society. Today we will tell you what to do if a person has lost a TIN, how to restore it and not spend a lot of time and effort on it.

Who issues the document

Before restoring the TIN, it is necessary to figure out which state body is responsible for the initial issuance of this document. According to the current legislation, this burden is assigned to the Federal Tax Service. Thus, a citizen must contact the branch at the place of his registration. Where it is located can be clarified on the official portal of the state body, because there are cities in which there is no link to the place of residence or registration, and the TIN is issued by a single branch or central service.

Fortunately, the tax authorities are getting deeper into the Internet, and it becomes more difficult to make a mistake with the branch every day. Solving the issue of how to restore the TIN of an individual is easier than it seems at first glance.

When changing surname

Replacing a document is necessary not only when it is lost. Such a situation may arise, for example, during marriage. Marriage is often accompanied by a change of surname and subsequent replacement of all documents.

By contacting the territorial office of the tax authority, you must fill out the appropriate application (2-2 Accounting) for registration with the tax authorities. Internal office work does not provide for a separate application form for replacing a certificate or for issuing a duplicate.

Among other things, before restoring the TIN, it will be necessary to pay a state fee. In 2018, it is 300 rubles, but this data may change, and therefore it is recommended to clarify this information promptly before sending it to the tax office.

A copy of the marriage registration certificate and a copy of the citizen's identity document must be attached to the application and receipt for payment of the state duty.

If the document is lost

People are sometimes put into a stupor by very simple legal issues. Nevertheless, the TIN is lost, how to restore it is not clear, but a document is needed. Let's figure out together what to do in such a situation. The law does not provide for a special procedure for obtaining a duplicate in case of loss of this document.

Many citizens are afraid to apply to the tax authority because of some mythical fines. If such a misfortune happened to you, then know that no responsibility for this act is provided, since distraction today is not an administrative offense, much less a crime.

How to restore the TIN in case of loss? Exactly the same as when changing the surname:

• we find out which territorial body of the Federal Tax Service suits us;
• we find out the details for paying the state fee and pay it;
• We make an appointment and come with a package of documents.

Everything, then it remains only to wait.

What's next?

At the time of filing the application, the state body will begin the statutory period that is allotted for the production of the document. It is from 5 calendar days. If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, it will automatically roll over to the next business day.

After 5 days, you must come to the tax office and pick up your new certificate. How to recover TIN? Pretty simple, as you can see.

Alternative methods of obtaining

Unfortunately, for some reason, the simplest TIN recovery procedure is not available on the State Services portal. This mystery has remained unsolved for many years. Despite the fact that obtaining a duplicate does not require complex confirmation of identity or expression of will, the tax service continues to play it safe and require the personal presence of a citizen.

Multifunctional centers "My Documents" behave similarly. When trying to contact the latter to restore or obtain a duplicate TIN, the citizen will be given the details of the state duty, and will be advised in every possible way. And still sent to the territorial office Why? Law enforcers ignore this issue, and no one has yet been able to achieve any explanation.

Things to remember

The portal "Gosuslugi" does not make it possible to apply for a public service, but it opens up the opportunity for a citizen to pay a state fee with a 25% discount. From 300 rubles is not much at all, but why pay more?

The second step is filling out the application. Its form is quite complex and extensive. It would be wiser not to fill it out in advance, but to do it on a special form that will be issued at the tax office. Under the strict supervision of a specialist, you will not make mistakes when filling out and save yourself from unnecessary difficulties.

Preserving is easier than restoring

Despite the relative development of state bodies, obtaining any duplicates is still a great difficulty for citizens. To get a TIN, you need to get to the representative office, get a ticket, stand in line, fill out documents, pay the state fee - all this takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, it is much easier to ensure the high-quality and safe storage of your own documents so that you do not have to fill out another extensive application.

An individual taxpayer number (TIN) must have every citizen working or doing business. It is issued in the form of a certificate. You can issue it upon reaching the age of 14, and the child, to whom the property is registered, even earlier. Below is a detailed algorithm on how to get a TIN for an individual, with a sample application, screenshots and explanations.

Where to go

The information that you need to apply for these purposes to the tax office at the place of registration is already outdated. From January 1, 2017, an application for a TIN can be submitted to any tax office, regardless of whether it is linked to a residence permit.

What documents do adult taxpayers need?

You will only need to provide:

1. Passport. It means that you need to come with the original and its photocopy. After their reconciliation, your passport will be returned to you, and a copy will remain in the tax office.
2. Statement. There is a strictly prescribed form 2-2 accounting, which consists of 3 sheets. It will be issued by an inspector. If you submit documents online, then the application form for filling out will be provided to you on the website of the Federal Tax Service (https://service.nalog.ru/zpufl/) or the State Services only after registration.

Documents for issuing a TIN for a child

1. Statement. The same application form is filled out as for adults: it will have a separate column for information about the legal representative of the child. It is he (it can be one of the parents, guardian, guardian) who fills out the application, but on behalf of the child! The signature at the end is put not by the child, but by the person who filled it out.
2. Representative's passport. Take the original and a copy with you (the original will be given after presentation).
3. Birth certificate. Again on the same principle: original + copy.
4. A document containing an indication of the place of registration(if it is not indicated in the certificate of the child).

The personal presence of a minor at the time of filing is not required.

Application Form

1. Each tax has its own code. Here we indicate the number of the one where we apply.
2. For the name, surname and patronymic, a block is allocated under the number 2 (if there is no patronymic, it makes a mark next to the column “1 - there is no patronymic”). If it is filled in on behalf of the child, then in these columns his nominal name is indicated. For data about the representative, a block is provided, marked on the screen with the number 6.
3. We indicate the number corresponding to the number of sheets in the application.
4. In this block, we put the number 5, since an individual receives a TIN.
5. These columns are reserved for entering information about the representative (if they act through him).
6. Phone number.
7. Signature and date.
8. Here we write the last name in full, and the first and middle names are only initials.
   
9. This block is not filled in by everyone - mainly by girls, as it concerns the change of surname. If this happened, before it is necessary to indicate the last full name and the date of its change (only applies to the change after 09/01/1996).
10. We indicate the gender in a number (explanation behind the column), as well as the date of birth in numbers.
11. The city where you were born.
12. Attention! The code of the identity document is always 21. The rest of the data to be entered in this block is contained in your passport.
13. In this block, difficulties may arise only in the "Country Code" column. This refers to the code according to the All-Russian Classification of the Countries of the World (OKSM). It is indicated by citizenship: If you are a Russian, feel free to indicate 643 (it does not change), if you are Ukrainian, then 804, etc. When a person does not have any citizenship, he needs to indicate the code of the country that issued the certifying document.
14. We enter the index and code of the region where the tax office is located, where you are submitting documents.
    
15. Place of your residence (if it is Moscow or St. Petersburg - the field "district" is not filled in).
16. The signature is required.
17. On each new page of the application, the surname and initials are written. Item 17 is reserved just again for this.
    
18. This field is intended for foreigners, stateless persons and those who have another document instead of a passport. Here you will need to indicate the registration card number, previous place of residence, etc.
19. This column is filled by everyone without exception. The date of registration is indicated here.
20. This field is intended for foreigners, like field 18, you must specify the code of the country from which they arrived in the Russian Federation.
21. If a person does not live at the place of registration and sends documents by mail, then in this section he needs to indicate his actual address.
    

If it’s difficult for you to deal with screenshots, for clarity, you can see a text sample of an application for obtaining an individual’s TIN ().

How to fill out an application so that it is accepted the first time

1. Write words in block capital letters, one letter in each cell, and dates in numbers. If you fill out the form on a computer, then select the font Courier New (point size 16).
2. Fill in the fields from the first cell, leaving no space in front of the text.
3. Strikethroughs, corrections with correctors, “erasing” at the site of errors and other deformation of the sheets are not allowed.

How to get a TIN via the Internet

Let's start with the fact that only those who have an EDS (electronic digital signature) can “get” a TIN using the Internet. If it is not there, then it will not be possible to get the finished document in hand without visiting the tax office. In this case, it is only possible to submit an application and photocopies of documents via the Internet. And in order to pick up the finished certificate, you still have to go to the inspection with a passport.

There are two ways to get a TIN online:

• through the portal of the State Service;
• through the official website of the FTS.

In both cases, you need to register on the sites.

After registering on the State Service website, you will still have to complete authorization by filling out the data in the questionnaire, and then wait for confirmation by Russian Post by sending a password to enter your personal account. There is no such thing on the website of the Federal Tax Service, which means that the process of submitting documents is faster.

Website of the Federal Tax Service

After that, such a questionnaire will appear on the screen. You can fill it to a minimum - only fields with an asterisk.

When you're done, click "continue" and this is what will appear.

Next, wait for an email. Once received, follow the link in the email. You will be taken back to the main page of the site, but the data will be saved in the e-mail and password fields. You just have to click "Login", after which you will see it.

Only by filling in this data, you will get access to the application form. The procedure for filling it out is described in detail above, so we will consider how to transfer an already completed form to the tax office.

• Method 1. Just press the "submit" button at the last step of this procedure. Suitable for those cases if you can then get a certificate of the TIN of an individual in person at the tax office.
• Method 2. If you have an EDS and do not want to go to the inspection, then install the "Legal Taxpayer" program and fill out an application using it. Follow the steps in sequence, then no difficulties should arise. If you want to receive a certificate not only in paper form, but also in electronic form, fill out an additional request (the program will prompt you to do this automatically). Then prepare a transport container with an application on which the digital signature is applied, again using the program, after which you can send it for processing and find out its results. When the certificate is ready, it will be sent in pdf format (electronic version) by e-mail, and a “paper” copy will be sent by registered mail by Russian post.

public services

The service for obtaining a TIN will appear for the user on the site only after registration, and subsequently - filling in passport data, phone number, e-mail.

In addition, in order to get an inn through the public service website, you will have to go through authorization. You will be prompted to fill in your TIN and SNILS. Later you will receive a password by Russian Post at the place of residence that you specify. With this password, as well as a login (this is either an email address, or TIN, or SNILS - to choose from), you can get into your personal account on the site, finally fill out the form 2-2 accounting and send it to the right inspection.

And on this portal, you can also use the EDS, so as not to visit the tax office in the future, but to receive a ready-made certificate by Russian Post or by e-mail.

How to apply by mail

If it is not possible to visit the tax office, you can send documents by registered mail, but you will have to follow a number of nuances:

1. the application must be correctly filled out (without errors and blots), otherwise it will not be accepted;
2. copies of the passport and the document confirming the place of registration (if it is not a passport) must be notarized.

As you understand, notary services are not free, so if you are a busy person, it would be more rational and economical to immediately issue a power of attorney from a notary to someone who can not only submit, but also pick up the TIN certificate instead of you! After all, if you pay a notary only for certifying copies, then in the future you will still have to go personally to the tax office to get a TIN, and using the recommended scheme above, you will be completely exempted from walking through government corridors.

If it is not possible to personally obtain a TIN certificate

Then a representative can do it for you. It can be any person over 18 years of age. You can issue a power of attorney at any notary. The estimated cost of his services is from 1500 to 2000 within Moscow.

How long does it take to get a TIN

The law allotted a period of five days from the date of receipt of the application. On the sixth day, you can already go and get a ready-made TIN (do not forget your passport!).

But if you submitted the form by mail or the Internet, then the five-day period begins to be calculated from the moment you receive a registered letter or process electronic data received through the website of the State Service or the Federal Tax Service. This date will appear on the mail notification you receive or email.

How much does it cost to get a TIN

This public service is provided free of charge. But if you receive it again, then the state duty will be 300 rubles.

In addition, if you send documents by mail, then please note that the average cost of certification of one sheet by a notary is 60 rubles. And there are only three sheets, which means that you will have to pay approximately 180 rubles. Plus, do not forget that you also have to pay for postal services. If you resort to the services of a representative, also calculate the cost of issuing a power of attorney (1500-2000 rubles).

How to get a duplicate TIN of an individual

The fact is that it is impossible to get a copy of the TIN of an individual. If the TIN has been lost, then a new certificate is issued with the same taxpayer number as it was before (it remains unchanged throughout the life of an individual). However, this is still not a copy, but a completely new document.

The application for issuing a duplicate certificate of Inn has the same form of 2-2 accounting, since in fact you are asking for a new certificate. In the form of this form at the top of each page there is a column for filling out the TIN. Enter your tax number here. If you do not know him, it is easy to fix: you just need to go to the site https://service.nalog.ru/inn.do, fill out the form and send a request. The TIN number will appear in the result line.

You can also apply for the restoration of a lost certificate in all available ways:

• personally;
• by mail;
• through a representative
• over the internet.

But you only need to pick it up personally at the tax office (even the option with an EDS is not allowed).

Please note that the reissuance service is paid:

• the standard state duty is 300 r;
• with accelerated issuance of a new certificate - 400 rubles.

Do I need to get a new TIN when changing my full name

There is no such obligation, however, the individual is interested in this.

Example. Krinichnaya G.V. took her husband's surname "Dolzhenko". She changed her passport, but she did not need to change the TIN certificate. But suddenly her aunt came from Germany (according to the plan - for 3 days) and decided to give her niece (now Dolzhenko G.V.) an apartment in Moscow. They refused to register the transaction due to outdated data in the TIN and recommended replacing it with a new one. Krinichnaya G.V. filed the necessary documents with the tax office and was told that she would have to wait 5 days until a new certificate was issued. Her aunt had to change not only her plans, but also her return flight tickets, as the deal could not be finalized in 3 days.

No fines or other sanctions are applied to a person who has not changed his certificate.

At its core, this is not a reissue (as in case of loss), but a replacement for a good reason. Therefore, the state fee for this procedure is not charged! Also, if you have an EDS, you can receive a finished document by e-mail (for comparison: if you lose your TIN, this is impossible).

The new certificate will contain the previous TIN number.

Change of registration - the basis for changing the TIN

As has been repeatedly repeated, the taxpayer number itself always remains the same! Another thing is a document that contains a TIN, that is, a certificate ... After all, it was drawn up indicating some data on registration, but what if it has changed?

You don't need to get a new certificate. If you officially registered at a different address, then the migration service will transfer information about this to the local tax office, and that, in turn, will inform your "old" inspection, where you will be deregistered.
