What if you don’t have your passport at hand and you don’t remember its details? How to find out the TIN by last name, full name, without passport data?

Unfortunately, such an opportunity is not provided for an ordinary individual who does not conduct entrepreneurial activities. Knowledge of passport data is a necessary condition to find out the TIN of an individual online.

But there is another service on the Federal Tax Service website - “Business risks: check yourself and your counterparty.” You won't be able to find the TIN of an individual there. But you can find a TIN by the name of the entrepreneur or the head of the peasant farm (they are not registered as legal entities, but are registered through an individual entrepreneur).

Do you need to request a TIN for a person? This article discusses as clearly and in detail as possible all the methods and special cases of checking the taxpayer identification code, all the necessary concepts and basic information relating to this concept.

Taxpayer identification number: concept and features

Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) ) – a special code assigned to each citizen of the Russian Federation who pays taxes to the state budget. The tax authority assigns this code to individuals and businesses at the time of registration. The TIN helps the Federal Tax Service monitor the timely payment of taxes. When assigning a number, the citizen is given a document containing all the necessary information about the person and this identification code. The document is called “Certificate of registration of an individual with the tax authority.”

The registration procedure requires the submission of the following list of documents:

• Application for registration with the tax authority (form 2-2 “Accounting”), a form filled out manually, or pre-filled in electronic form and printed.
• A copy of the Russian passport or other identification document containing information about the person’s registered address.
• If there is no information about the registration address, you must also attach a notarized copy of the document containing information about the registration address.
• If the person receiving the certificate of assignment of a taxpayer code does not live at the registration address, the tax inspector may also require information about the residential address and contact telephone number.

Copies of documents must be notarized.

Each citizen is assigned a unique combination of numbers once, which cannot be found in another citizen. The code is assigned once, and it is impossible to obtain several code options for one person.

Upon initial receipt of the certificate, the state does not charge citizens any fees, however, if the certificate is lost or there is a need to obtain a copy, the citizen is obliged to pay the state fee and attach a copy of the receipt for its payment to the above-mentioned documents. It is strictly necessary for persons carrying out entrepreneurial activities and government employees to obtain an identification number.

Decoding the code

The assignment of a unique code to each taxpayer is due to the accurate identification of the person and the elimination of the likelihood of repetition or double counting. The code consists of twelve digits, each of which carries certain information. Based on the type of information encoding, the TIN number can be designated as

111122222233, where:

• 1111 – carry information about the subject of the Russian Federation, whose tax office assigns a code to the person.
• 222222 – serial number of the entry in the register under which there is an entry about this individual.
• 33 – a control number specially calculated by the tax authority.

The difference between the TIN of an individual and the TIN of a legal entity

1. The taxpayer code of an ordinary citizen consists of 12 digits. For a legal entity, the code is made up of 10 digits.
2. The unique combination is based on information about the registration address listed in the citizen’s passport. An organization receives a code in accordance with its legal address, which reflects the location of the organization.
3. The TIN assigned to a company cannot ever be registered with another organization. In case of liquidation of the company and its removal from tax registration, this code is invalidated.
4. The identification code of an individual entrepreneur who has decided to terminate his activities is not invalidated and is not lost, remaining unchanged and assigned to him as an individual until death.

Why is a TIN required for an individual?

1. Carrying out business activities. A citizen is required to obtain a Certificate of Registration if he has decided to carry out entrepreneurial activities. In the future, information about it can be requested in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs specifically by identification number, which does not change if the person has ceased business activities.
2. Citizen's request for tax deductions.
3. Filing a tax return.
4. Participation in government auctions.

A document confirming the assignment of a taxpayer code may be required when a citizen submits an application to participate in government auctions, as well as when issuing a qualified electronic digital signature identifying a person on government portals.

The applicant may be asked to provide a copy of the TIN assignment certificate, even if the work is not related to public service. This is required for ease of personal income tax calculation.

The citizen has never received a taxpayer identification code and does not have the corresponding document. Does it have an identification number?

No, since the tax authority will automatically assign the corresponding code to it when paying taxes, for example, on transport, or when receiving benefits.

Can the TIN change?

An identification number is assigned to a citizen once and is valid throughout his life. Upon the death of an individual, this number is invalidated. However, the question arises whether it is necessary to replace the TIN or tax registration certificate if:

The person moved to a new place of residence and changed his registration address

If you change your place of residence, the identification code does not change. A citizen can receive a new certificate containing information about the previous number. The tax authority, having received information about registration at the new address, will notify the tax office where the citizen was previously registered about the change of residence.

To obtain a new certificate you must have with you:

• A manually or electronically completed and printed application for a certificate.
• A document containing a note about the citizen’s place of residence.
• For individual entrepreneurs: a copy of the certificate of TIN assignment with a mark from the tax office at the previous place of residence about deregistration.

There has been a change in full name, date of birth, place of birth, gender

In this case, a person can receive a new document assigning a TIN with a new taxpayer code. It will indicate the previous citizen identification number.

To replace the Certificate you need to prepare:

• A completed manually or electronically and printed Certificate Application.
• Previously received tax registration certificate.
• Passport or other identification document.
• A document containing a note about the place of residence of an individual.

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.

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 assigns each individual a taxpayer identification number (TIN), which allows them to account for income tax, as well as to assess and control the payment of other taxes.

As a rule, providing a copy of the TIN certificate may be necessary when applying for a job and when performing legal actions. Although now employers are widely moving away from the practice of requiring this document, since requesting a number, knowing the last name, first name, patronymic and passport details of the person hired, is not difficult. But there are times when you urgently need to report the indicated numbers, but they are not at hand. Let's figure out how to find out the TIN of an individual from a passport.

Ways to find out the TIN

An identification number is automatically assigned to an individual when a citizen applies to the tax authority and consists of 12 digits. It is indicated on the issued certificate and accompanies the person throughout his life. Using this number, the Federal Tax Service collects all information about the movable and immovable property it owns for the purpose of presenting tax receipts. It is indicated by employers when transferring personal income tax and by citizens themselves who submit declarations in cases provided for by tax legislation. If the certificate is lost or not with you, and you need to find out the TIN number, then there are two main ways to obtain such information:

• when applying in person to the tax office at your place of residence, presenting your passport,
• using online services.

With the development of contactless technologies, direct visits to government agencies are becoming a thing of the past. A more popular and faster way is to obtain information using various online services that allow you to obtain information from databases using certain personal identifying details. For individuals, the opportunity to find out the TIN from a passport in real time is available on the official websites of government bodies:

• Federal Tax Service www.nalog.ru,
• Unified portal of public services www.gosuslugi.ru.

Obtaining information about the TIN of an individual is quite simple; you just need to fill out a form on the website, indicating a few details. These include:

• last name, first name and patronymic,
• Date of Birth,
• Place of Birth,
• details of your passport or other identity document.

Knowing all the listed data, you can find someone else’s TIN. This may be required, for example, when a person got a job and did not provide a copy of the certificate. An employer can use the service and find out his taxpayer number without forcing the person to look for a certificate in his personal documents and provide a copy of it to the accounting department.

Important! Online services of government agencies are free.

Checking the TIN of an individual on the Tax Service website

To find the payer identification number in the tax authority database, follow the link pointing to the official website nalog.ru and follow a series of steps:

It is worth noting the intuitive interface of the site, which is easy to navigate for a user of any level of Internet knowledge. In addition to the service itself, the website contains all the necessary information about why a TIN number is needed and what it consists of. There are also a number of useful links and answers to frequently asked questions.

Checking the TIN of an individual on the State Services portal

If a citizen is registered on the State Services portal, then it is much easier to obtain information about the TIN here. The procedure for registering and confirming an ESIA account to gain access to all services provided by government agencies is quite complicated. But once you receive a verified account and full access to the site, you will be able to receive all services without contacting officials or visiting government agencies.

The ESIA account is also used to access your personal account on the official websites of bodies such as the Federal Tax Service, Rosreestr, and the Pension Fund of Russia.
