There are situations when evidence is lost, because no one is immune from various troubles. In this case, it is necessary to restore the document. Let's look at how to do this correctly below.

How to obtain a duplicate TIN for an individual

In order to restore the certificate of TIN assignment, you can act in various ways.

Visit to the inspection

The easiest way that comes to mind first is to go to the tax office at your place of residence. There you can consult about the necessary documents and other issues.

But all this will take a lot of time, because first you will have to go for a consultation, then bring the necessary documents and issue a duplicate TIN, and only some time after the second visit you will be able to receive it.

Agree, this is long and not very pleasant, and besides, you may encounter queues at the tax office. That is why it is worth paying attention to the second method of restoring an individual taxpayer number.

Through the Internet

Filing an application via the Internet became available to citizens of the Russian Federation relatively recently, but is already in great demand. In this case, people can significantly reduce time costs by limiting themselves to two, and in some cases, one visit to the tax office. Next, you can learn about all the nuances of how to obtain a duplicate TIN via the Internet. This can be done both on the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, and by analogy on the government services portal.

How to restore online

If you decide to restore your individual taxpayer number via the Internet, then first of all you need to go to the tax office website (LINK).

1. Enter the query “TIN” in the “Search” field and you will see several results returned. One of them will be the “Get TIN” service.

Click on this inscription and you will find yourself on the page “Registration of an individual with a tax authority on the territory of the Russian Federation.”

2. Once on the page “Registration of an individual...” you will see a field on the side of the main text with the option of registering or entering your details to log into the site under your account.

If you have not previously registered in this service, then click on “Registration” and enter your personal data in the window that appears.

3. After this, you must wait for registration confirmation, which will be sent to the specified email.

After you have seen the letter, you can activate the link and begin restoring your TIN.

4. First of all, you need to fill out the basic information about the applicant, which is entered at the first stage of submitting the application. Be careful when filling out and be sure to enter data in the fields marked with asterisks. Unchecked fields can be left blank.

5. The next step involves entering information about the document that you will provide to the tax office. Please check all entered information carefully to avoid errors. At this stage, it is necessary to indicate the series and number of the document, the date of issue and the organization that carried out this procedure. In addition, you must indicate your new last name, first name and patronymic if they were changed after 1996.

6. Now fill in the marked fields with additional information about your previous place of residence/stay, if it has changed.

To do this quickly, click on the three dots at the end of each field. You will have a new sign.

The scheme for entering address data is as follows - first the street, then the locality, then the district and region. At some stage, you will have automatic address detection and you will only need to confirm it and enter the house and apartment number below.

7. After completing all these steps, you will be taken to the “Submitting to the Federal Tax Service” page. At this point, you can return to previous pages of the application to correct them if you have not provided all the information or have provided it inaccurately.

In addition, you can download here a receipt for paying the state fee for issuing a duplicate certificate, which can be paid at any Sberbank branch. Currently, the state duty is three hundred rubles.

8. In order to submit an application for consideration, you must scroll down the page and click on the inscription “Register an application and send it to the Federal Tax Service.”

Write down the registration number of the application, as it may be useful for checking its status on the site.

10. Within 24 hours you should receive a response from the tax office by email. In addition, you can check the processing status of the application on the website; for this you will need to enter its number and your full name.

This completes the procedure for restoring the TIN via the Internet. Next, you will need to wait for a response from the tax office, which will indicate the address of the branch where you need to go to take further actions.

At this time you can pay the fee. Next, during the specified opening hours, you need to come to the tax office to complete the paperwork there. Just don’t forget the receipt for payment of the duty, since without it you will not be able to prove the fact of payment and will have to pay again.

In order to limit yourself to one visit to the tax office, you can apply at the post office, or choose a repeat visit and personally receive the document from tax officials.

Thus, currently we can restore the TIN certificate via the Internet, while saving our time. Unfortunately, at present this process has not been perfected and in most cases it is impossible to carry out this procedure without visiting the tax office. But progress in the virtual processing of documents has already appeared, so maybe in a couple of years their restoration will become even easier and faster.
