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

The taxpayer identification number, which can be either an individual or a legal entity, is issued once. It is necessary for the correct tracking of the payment of tax obligations, verification and implementation of various financial transactions. The TIN contains certain information, is not repeated and is strictly individual. Therefore, the question often arises whether it is possible to find out the passport data for the TIN of an individual and other information for a specific digital set.

What information does the identification number carry?

The TIN is assigned by the tax office at the place of registration, and a certificate is issued that has the following form. Depending on the year of issue external design document can be changed, but the information presented is always the same.

By the number of digital characters, you can determine who owns this code. For individuals - 12 units, and for legal entities - 10.

It's important to know! When changing individual data, the code from the numbers remains unchanged. In case of loss, you can get a duplicate of the document.

The TIN certificate is required to be submitted when applying for a job, concluding any sales contracts, obtaining loans from a bank, and in many other situations. For entrepreneurs and legal entities, the TIN is one of the main details of any financial transactions. The first four characters show the region of registration, which means the place of residence. The next six digits correspond to the serial number of the location in the special registry. The latter is a control indicator, which is calculated by a special algorithm and is an access code. Therefore, to the question of how to find out the full name of an individual by TIN, the answer is unequivocal - no way.

Attention! Using the digital set of TIN, you cannot obtain any information about individuals in a legal way. An exception is when a person is engaged entrepreneurial activity.

To date, the information presented on Internet portals about what you can find out about individuals by TIN is not always correctly stated, and one concept is replaced by another. As a result, the new user cannot figure it out and gets confused. Given a set of numbers, you can only:

• find out the region of residence of the taxpayer;
• determine whether it is physical or legal entity;
• whether he is engaged in entrepreneurial activity.

It should be remembered! Information belonging to an individual who is not engaged in entrepreneurship is strictly confidential. Its disclosure is criminally punishable.

Illegal Methods

Information about individuals is considered secret and is not subject to disclosure. There are several illegal methods to obtain personal information:

• hack the FTS database;
• buy a database online;
• bribe an employee tax service.

However, it must be understood that all these methods threaten with a real prison term.

Who is the entrepreneur: an individual or a legal entity?

The legal status of an individual entrepreneur is regulated by Art. 23 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which states that an individual entrepreneur is an individual who has the right to engage in entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity. The powers of an entrepreneur are largely similar, but there are no founders and authorized capital. Therefore, if a person is an individual entrepreneur, carries out commercial activities, deducts taxes and makes other payments, then on the FTS portal you can get more information about him. This is necessary when concluding contracts in order to minimize various risks in cooperation.

What can you find out about an entrepreneur by TIN?

Up-to-date information about an individual, that is, an individual entrepreneur, can be obtained on the official website of the Federal Tax Service. The sequence of actions does not cause difficulties. You need to go to the tax service portal: nalog.ru.

Enter the TIN in the appropriate field, then the captcha and click "Find". After a while, the system will give the result. If an individual has not been officially registered or is not an entrepreneur, the system will display a message that no data has been found. This means that this combination of TIN numbers may belong to an individual who is not an entrepreneur or who conducts an illegal business. All law-abiding businessmen are required to be officially registered.

In the absence of violations from the point of view of the law, the system will issue an extract from the USRIP. It will provide the following information:

• Name of the owner;
• citizenship;
• name of the FIU;
• codes confirming economic activity.

Such verification of the counterparty will eliminate or minimize financial risks. If it is necessary to find out the address by the TIN of an individual engaged in entrepreneurship, then an extract from the USRIP is not enough for this.

Internet Fraud

There are many different portals on the Web that offer a number of services for providing personal information, such as:

• passport data;
• bank card numbers;
• address of residence and registration;
• tax debts, etc.

It is proposed, among other things, to find out the full name of an individual by a combination of TIN numbers. For contact, please provide email and phone number. After prepayment with bank card Guaranteed to provide comprehensive information by mail. This is a lie. Fraudsters take advantage of the lack of awareness of citizens and their increased interest in the lives of other people. Instead of information, you can get the following result:

• downloading viruses to a computer that will transmit information about all user actions, including online banking transactions;
• debiting funds from a mobile phone to no one knows where;
• registration of different subscriptions;
• hacking social media accounts if passwords are stored on a PC.

Attention! To maintain your own safety, you should not use the services of unverified sources.

Lawful options for obtaining personal information

If, when studying the TIN digital code, it was revealed that it belongs to an individual entrepreneur, then the registration address and other parameters in a limited format can be found through an official appeal to the tax service. Any personalized information is provided by the Federal Tax Service upon a personal visit with a passport, filling out an application and paying a state duty in the amount of 200 rubles. As soon as the document is ready, an SMS message is sent to the contact phone and the time of the visit to the Federal Tax Service is assigned.

Another more complicated option is ordering a document via the Internet. The data will be signed with an electronic digital signature. For decryption, you will need to install additional CryptoPro CSP software of the new version on your computer. If information about an individual is needed one-time, then it is better to get it through a visit to the fiscal service. According to user reviews, programs with electronic keys and signatures do not always work properly. Difficulties are noted, certain skills are required.

St. Petersburg and the region

• 10 is a digit for data entry control.

How to get a TIN

Ways to obtain a TIN for individuals

The Tax Code of the Russian Federation has Article 83, which describes in detail the procedure for issuing the document in question. Individuals are given the opportunity to issue a certificate of registration with the tax service in several ways:

Features of registration of TIN for children

If at the time of registration with the tax authority the child is under 14 years old, then one of the parents, guardian or other legal representative fills out the application for him. When submitting an application to the Federal Tax Service, the legal representative of the child must have:

• the statement itself;
• birth certificate of the child;
• a document certifying the address of the child's residence;
• passport of the legal representative of the child.

Children who have reached the age of 14 can receive a TIN in the same manner as adult citizens of our country.

Features of obtaining a TIN by a legal entity

The Tax Code of the Russian Federation states that a legal entity has an obligation to register for tax purposes no later than 10 days after registration. When submitting an application for registration, the organization must attach to it all the constituent documents it has.

Do I need to change the TIN

The identification number is given to the taxpayer once and never changes under any circumstances. This is stated in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Article 84) and in the Order on the procedure for assigning a TIN (paragraphs 15, 16, 19).

Also, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation states that for individuals there is no fixed obligation to inform employees of the Federal Tax Service that changes have occurred in their personal data. The Order on assigning a TIN also does not say anything about this. And finally, the current form of the certificate itself also does not have such requirements.

Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that when changing personal data, the replacement of the certificate is not required.

What to do if you lose your TIN

All taxpayer identification numbers are entered and stored in the relevant state register, so if a certificate form is lost or damaged, it will not be difficult to issue a duplicate of this document. All you need to do is to provide tax documents:
