How to get an INN?

Every citizen of the Russian Federation must have a taxpayer identification number (or, briefly, an INN). Without it, not one, no matter what an important event: a job, a loan or a tax deduction, etc.

12 digits of TIN are some encrypted code, read from left to right. The assignment of a specific number occurs according to a strictly defined scheme. The first four digits of the TIN are a code that is correlated with a specific division of the tax inspection that assigns this number. The next 6 digits denote the number in the order in which the entry was made about the individual in the territorial department that belongs to the unified state register of taxpayers in the tax authority that carried out the registration. The next 2 digits are assigned as a check number according to the algorithm set by the FTS.

Since you can get a TIN to an individual only once in a lifetime, and his number remains unchanged throughout his life, it will not be necessary to change the number in the event of a change in status, surname, place of residence and other important life changes, which often entail a change of many documents . The identification number is unique, therefore the second similar number does not exist.

For those who first encountered the need to obtain an identification number, one should know simple rules how to obtain an INN.

The body responsible for issuing the taxpayer identification number is the tax inspection at the place of registration of the individual. Those citizens who live on temporary registration, also have the right to apply to the tax authority at their place of residence, since the TIN for temporary registration is permitted by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

When applying to the tax service at the place of your residence with the application filled in form N 2-2, you should also have a passport. Filling of the application in paper form is made by ballpoint pen of blue or black color, it is also possible to use ink of the same color. If there are corrections in the completed application form, the employees of the tax inspection will reject it. In addition, you can use an alternative way to apply online, by filling in the form on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia. At the very least, this will save you from unnecessary problems with rewriting the form in case of errors, and you do not need to stand in the queue for filing an application.

Since each citizen of the Russian Federation can obtain a TIN, the procedure for obtaining a TIN for a minor child under the age of 14 years is passed by his legal representative who must confirm the right to legitimate representation of the child's interests by presenting his passport, birth certificate of the child and a document confirming Place of registration of a minor. After the TIN is assigned, a corresponding certificate of registration is issued.

In case of loss of the certificate, one should know not only the procedure how to obtain the TIN, but also how to restore the document confirming the assignment of the TIN. The rules for the restoration of the certificate stipulate the writing of an application with a request to issue a document confirming the TIN, and also it will be required to show a passport and a receipt with the paid state duty.

Obviously, the procedure for obtaining such an important document in life is as simple as possible. It's a pity that the process of applying and issuing a certificate often requires considerable time. Queues in the window for receiving applications, as a rule, many hours.
