A TIN in Russia is assigned to each taxpayer. Individuals can be assigned an identification number automatically, even without their knowledge, if it becomes necessary to maintain tax records.
In everyday life, knowing the number is not necessary, but in some cases it is still necessary to indicate this 12-digit identifier. It is recorded in the certificate of registration with the Federal Tax Service, which can be obtained upon application to the territorial tax office.
A sample application for TIN will be useful if you:
- are a civil servant, notary, private detective or private security guard and are engaged in private practice;
- apply for standard, social or property tax deductions;
- Are you going to use government online services (Federal Tax Service, State Services).
How to fill it out correctly
The application for an identification number is form No. 2-2-Accounting. It is approved by the Federal Tax Service of Russia and consists of three sheets. In order to correctly draw up an application, it is useful to study a sample of filling out an individual’s TIN application.
There are several ways to submit an application and then receive a certificate of registration:
- when contacting the territorial tax office in person;
- by mail;
- in electronic form via an online form on the Federal Tax Service website.
An authorized representative of the applicant can also contact the Federal Tax Service to issue a TIN. In this case, he will have to confirm the accuracy and completeness of the information provided, leaving a note about this on the first sheet of the application.
Sheet 1
On the first page you need to indicate the applicant’s full name (as written in the passport), the code of the tax authority where the application is being submitted, the number of pages and sheets of attachments, and leave a note confirming the correctness of the information provided. The remainder of the first page will be completed by the tax officer.
Sheet 2
The second page contains the applicant’s passport details and information about his place of residence. Pay attention to the sample TIN application: if you change your last name after September 1, 1996, you should indicate the previous last name in the corresponding line of the application. Some difficulty when filling out the second page is usually caused by the need to indicate the code of the identity document (21 - passport) and the country code (643 - Russian Federation).
Sheet 3
On the third page you need to enter information about registration in Russia (that is, about a document confirming it). This section is mandatory for non-residents, stateless persons and citizens of the Russian Federation who have not presented a passport. You must indicate your previous and current place of residence, and in its absence, your place of stay.
General rules
Study the example of how to fill out an application for a TIN and remember some subtleties:
- The applicant's full name must be indicated at the top of each page and a signature must be placed at the bottom.
- Write dates only in numbers, and words - in printed capital letters (if filling out by hand) or use Courier New font (point size 16).
- The fields should be filled out from the first square or familiar place.
- Marks, corrections, damage when fastening sheets are unacceptable.
- Each page is printed on a new sheet of paper.
When filling out the form, you will need to enter data from other documents. Therefore, if you prepare them in advance, you can greatly facilitate the process of drawing up the document. So, to fill out you will need:
- Passport or other document serving as identification.
- Registration document in case of missing information in the passport.
- If an authorized person will contact the tax service, then a document certifying his authority (for example, a power of attorney) is required.
- Directory on “Types of taxpayer identification documents” (available on the Internet).
- All-Russian Classifier of Countries of the World, abbreviated as OKSM (can be found on the Internet).
Where can I get an application?
If you plan to fill out a form at the tax office immediately before submitting your application, the form will be provided to you on site.
If you decide to draw up an application in advance, saving time, or send a request by mail, then the application form 2-2 can be found on the Internet.
Let's consider the points of each of the sheets of the application form (there should be 3 of them), according to their location, from top to bottom.
First page:
- Code of the tax office where you plan to file documents.
- Full name must be indicated; if there is no middle name, then enter “1” in the column.
- If the documents are not provided in person (via mail or a proxy), then in a special field (below on the right side) the number of attached sheets with copies of the submitted papers is indicated.
- In the block on the accuracy and completeness of information, numbers may be indicated: 5 – if the application is submitted by the taxpayer personally, in this case his full name, telephone number (numbers are written in a row), signature and date of the application are indicated again; 6 – documents are submitted by a representative; his data is indicated in the following columns (full name, telephone number, signature).
- If the application is submitted by an authorized person, then in the column confirming the authority of the representative, the corresponding type of document is indicated, the original and a copy of which must be presented along with other documents.
The remaining columns are filled in by tax officials.
Second page:
- At the top we write the initials and surname of the person submitting the application.

For those living in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the “district” and “city” columns remain blank.
- The signature of the applicant or authorized representative is placed at the bottom.
- At the top, as on the previous page, initials and surname are indicated.
- Then you must specify the type of document that is used to confirm registration. This column is filled in in two cases: 1) a document that was presented as identification, not a passport; 2) the person submitting the application is not a citizen of the Russian Federation.

Peculiarities
According to the laws of the Russian Federation, a person who is not a citizen of the Russian Federation can also obtain a TIN. Due to the fact that the application form for obtaining an identification number is the same for everyone, representatives of other countries may have some difficulties filling it out.
Above, we have already noted the main differences in entering information into the questionnaire for citizens and non-citizens of the Russian Federation. Let's look at them in more detail:
- The first inconsistencies start on the second page. After the number “2” has been entered in the citizenship column (point 6), it is necessary to indicate the code of the country whose citizenship the applicant has. If there is no citizenship at all, then the data of the country that issued the identity documents is indicated.
- Then you must indicate your residence address, which has documentary evidence. If there is none, then the place of residence is indicated, which must be confirmed by a registration document.
- On page 3 (item 2 of our list) you need to indicate the type of document, confirming registration. Here you need to use the reference book on types of documents to indicate the correct code.
- Item 5 of our list on the same page: indicating the country of residence before arriving in Russia. Here you need to specify the code that can be found in OKSM.
If you follow the above instructions, filling out the form will not be difficult for you. Nevertheless, we advise you to devote sufficient time and attention to this procedure in order to avoid mistakes. Depending on how conscientiously the application is drawn up, depends on the outcome of the entire procedure.

TIN (individual identification number) was developed for the accounting system of all tax payers, labor contributions of all working citizens, their full compliance with the specified income, etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to know all the intricacies of issuing it. It is necessary to discuss how to obtain a TIN certificate if the number is already there, but the document itself is missing or has been lost.
Why do you need a TIN?
Initially, the TIN was introduced for private entrepreneurs back in 1993. Later, in 1995, it began to be assigned to legal entities and only at the end of 1999 - to ordinary citizens.
Assigning a TIN is necessary for tax authorities to control the transfer of funds to the state treasury.
The presence of an individual number greatly facilitates data recording, the procedure for searching and verifying information on any request.
TIN for legal entities is a ten-character number that is issued individually at the time of registration. The TIN for individuals includes twelve digits and is assigned on a voluntary basis. When applying for a job, a TIN will be issued automatically. Thus, the state takes care of the amount and timeliness of contributions to the Pension Fund, the tax service, as well as to other social funds.
The need to assign a number:
- to obtain a loan;
- at the time of applying for an official job;
- to open your own business;
- in order to confirm rights to accrue benefits.
The procedure for issuing a document is quite easy and can be done in several ways.
Where to get it and where to apply?
Obtaining a TIN for the first time is quite simple.
Ways to obtain a TIN:
- Using the Internet. Visit the special website " Public services»or use the tax service portal. In the latter case? The procedure for processing personal data takes 15 days. The TIN can be issued electronically or in paper form. Below are instructions on how to find out your TIN at State Services.
- Contact the Federal Tax Service office at your place of registration. You will need to personally contact the organization and register for tax purposes. After 5 days you will be able to pick up the document.
- Using postal services. For these purposes, you will need to send a special request by registered mail, which will indicate the return address. It must be accompanied by a notarized document - a copy of your passport. In order to receive a response, it is not necessary to indicate your registration address. To do this, it is enough to clarify your own place of residence.
The TIN certificate is issued by the tax authority if a minimum list of documents is available. You must submit an application with your passport, which will be drawn up in accordance with the “2-2-Accounting” form. In addition, you will also need to attach a copy of your identification document. If a person who has not yet reached 14 years of age receives a certificate, the list of papers will be much more extensive.
A set of documents for citizens under 14 years of age:
- a copy of the child's birth certificate;
- a statement drawn up by the parents;
- a copy of registration provided at the passport office;
- a copy of a document indicating the identity of the parent.
How to get a TIN if you already have a number, through State Services
Let's look at how to obtain a TIN certificate if you already have the number (i.e., re-obtaining it). You need to log in to your personal State Services account (if the account has not been created before, you need to go through the registration procedure). Next, on the main page of the site, open the section “ Public services". The page will refresh and a list of all services will be displayed, where you need to select “ All services".
Then click on the arrow " Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation" => « The Federal Tax Service" and below will appear “ Find out your TIN" .
Loss is not a cause for concern
The TIN certificate indicates a special number that will remain unchanged throughout life, even in the event of a change in surname, place of residence, registration or status.
How to obtain a TIN certificate if you already have a number? Of course, using the Internet. Many working Muscovites have an electronic signature. This simplifies the task; it becomes possible to receive documents using registered letters, without personal presence on site. The disadvantage of this method is that it is impossible to restore a document if it is lost.
For the first time, this certificate is issued free of charge, and in case of repeated application - 300 rubles. When restoring it, you should pay attention that not a photocopy should be issued, but a duplicate, which will be completely identical to the original certificate.
It happens that officially working citizens have never personally contacted the tax service regarding the assignment of a TIN. At the time of employment, this number is automatically assigned to them by the tax service.
The number of a specific person in the system can be found on the Federal Tax Service website. If the TIN is registered, but there is no paper confirmation, then you need to contact the inspectorate to obtain it. Representatives of tax authorities must respond to the appeal within 5 days.
As a result of using the Internet version, the procedure for obtaining a TIN is greatly simplified and queues at tax offices are significantly reduced.
Each individual is assigned an individual taxpayer number (TIN), which can be used to track all tax payments. In order to obtain a TIN from the tax authority, you must fill out and submit an application in the prescribed form 2.2-accounting.
