How to find out your SNILS number on the Internet in Nizhny Novgorod in 2020

Why do you need SNILS

SNILS is necessary for correct accounting in the system created by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, length of service and “pension” insurance contributions transferred by the employer for each employee or by the individual himself for himself. An insurance certificate from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is required by employers when registering a new employee in order to submit personalized reporting on it.

Knowing your insurance number, you can check contributions to the Pension Fund, SNILS provides access to the state register of information about persons who are entitled to benefits and allowances, it can be used to register on the State Services website, and you also need a SNILS number for digital signature.

The number is assigned for life, and even if a person, changing his last name, first name or patronymic, receives a new insurance certificate, his SNILS number remains the same.

When did SNILS appear and for what purposes was it invented?

Previously, Russian citizens did not have an insurance certificate; it first appeared only in 1998. In 2003, the insurance certificate was modernized, and since then it has not changed much.

First of all, SNILS was developed based on the experience of America. In the United States, an insurance card has existed for a long period of time. SNILS was supposed to become one of the main documents needed in Russia, and it coped with this task, because today it would be incredibly difficult to live and conduct any activity in the Russian Federation without it.

Although the introduction of an insurance certificate was accompanied by a number of problems. Since the advent of SNILS, most Russian databases have not even come close to being converted into a fully electronic form, which is why the certificate was completely useless. But over time, the situation improved, gradually state databases were transferred from paper archives to electronic form, and SNILS became increasingly relevant.

Today, an insurance number is vital for the vast majority of people. Currently it performs the following functions:

1. It contains all the information about contributions to the Pension Fund or the Social Insurance Fund by the employer for the entire length of service, starting from 2002 (for earlier periods, SNILS will not be able to provide information, alas).
2. Participates in the formation of state registers and other types of registers.
3. Provides the ability to log in to State Services and some other important sites.

Initially, SNILS was supposed to save people from unnecessary paperwork and combine several documents at once. But as happens in Russia, something went wrong, and the authorities had to temporarily abandon the implementation of such a large-scale idea. In the future, the government plans to return to the original idea, but no one knows how long it will take before that. After all, we have a lot of things that remain completely unfinished.

Why do you need SNILS - information from the Pension Fund of Russia

How to find out SNILS number by last name

The last name alone is not enough to determine the SNILS number, even with a personal visit to the Pension Fund. But if a citizen has previously registered on the State Services website, where he indicated his SNILS number, he will not need any other data. After authorization on the site, you need to enter your personal account, where, among other things, your insurance number in the “pension” system will be indicated.

On the same website you can find out pension contributions according to SNILS by requesting a notification about the status of your personal account in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, but such a service is only possible with an electronic signature, or for those persons whose account on the website was confirmed through the service center or Russian Post.

How to find out your child’s SNILS number

A SNILS number can be issued not only to working or adult citizens, but also to children. To obtain an insurance number for a child under 14 years of age, parents, in addition to their passport, need to present their birth certificate, and children over 14 years of age receive SNILS independently using their passport. The document is issued at a school or kindergarten, and for “unorganized” children, SNILS can be obtained at the Pension Fund office at the place of residence.

You can find out the SNILS assigned to a child in the same way as an adult’s SNILS: by contacting the Pension Fund office. A child over 14 years of age, if he has a passport, can do this himself, but for younger children, parents find out the SNILS number.

What is it and in what situations is it needed?

SNILS is the insurance number of an individual personal account that every person in our country has. According to this number, pension payments will be formed in the future, in addition, the following is recorded in the certificate:

• amount of contributions to the Pension Fund;
• contributions (insurance);
• seniority;
• other data necessary for calculating salary.

Receipt of the document indicates that the able-bodied person is registered in the Russian Federation pensioners insurance system. That is, the length of service will be carefully recorded and taken into account when determining the amount of the pension.

Important! The organization in which the work book is kept is responsible for deductions; if the activity is carried out by an individual entrepreneur, then it is he who is obliged to control this.

The need to have SNILS with you and know its number may arise in the following cases:

• clarification of the state of the pension savings account;
• when registering on the State Services portal;
• for identification in state registers;
• when issuing a universal electronic card.

Although this code is very important, you should not think that it will be very easy to recognize it, and perhaps not always quickly either.

Lost SNILS: how to find out the number?

If the PFR insurance certificate is lost, stolen or lost in some other way, you must contact your Pension Fund branch within one month to have it restored.

Self-employed or unemployed citizens can apply to the Fund on their own by showing up there with a passport. It is easier for working persons to do this through their employer by writing an application with a request to order a duplicate certificate from the Pension Fund. For a child under 14 years of age, his parents apply to the PFR office to restore SNILS, presenting a birth certificate and their own passport. There is no state duty to pay for a duplicate.

While the document is being restored, which usually takes up to 3 weeks, the SNILS number may be required. In this case, it is better to immediately make a SNILS request to the Pension Fund, or check it with the employer, because in the future duplicate the number will not change and will remain the same.

SNILS: how to find out your number online (results)

As we found out, it is almost impossible to find out the SNILS number via the Internet - the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation does not allow free access to information about the personal accounts of citizens. Therefore, you can find out SNILS in the absence of a certificate card in your hands in the following ways:

• go to the Pension Fund office with an ID card,
• contact your employer, who keeps a copy of the certificate;
• log into your “personal account” on the State Services website and find it out there.

To find out your SNILS number, you should not turn to dubious services on the Internet that offer paid services. This way, scammers receive your passport data and can use it for their criminal purposes.

How to obtain insurance certificate details

Of course, when you have a “green card” in your hands, it is much easier to obtain the information you are interested in, but how can you find out the insurance number of a person’s individual personal account if it is lost? The most traditional solution is to contact the nearest branch of the Pension Fund. , you must be given a duplicate. To do this, you will need to write a corresponding application. According to departmental regulations, the re-issuance procedure can take from several days to 1 month, but most often the document is issued on the day of application to the Pension Fund office.

By the way, now.

In the event that information is needed urgently, and there is no time to wait, you can use a little trick, and this is another way to find the SNILS number of an individual without SNILS. To do this, you need to come to the Pension Fund office with an application for the issuance of an insurance certificate, as if you had not received it before. This, of course, will be denied to you, and in writing, however, the document motivating the refusal will indicate the reason: “The person has a previously issued certificate under number such and such.”

If you don’t have time to go to the nearest PFR branch, the necessary information can also be obtained on the State Services portal, but it is available only to authorized users who have Internet access at hand. In this case, it is necessary to order information in your personal account about the status of your personal account, which contains the number of the pension insurance certificate, and also contains information about wages, length of service, and pension contributions.

It should be noted that the insurance number of the personal account is assigned not only to the person, but also to the organization. Thus, the law establishes that every individual entrepreneur who opens his own business must also register it in order to make the necessary contributions to the Pension Fund for his employees. And these are completely two different documents. The chief accountant most likely knows where to look at the organization’s SNILS. If he does not have such information, he will have to contact the Pension Fund branch. Only an authorized representative of the organization can make such a request.

But these are not all the ways to find out the personal account of an individual. Let's consider all the known options that allow you to find out how to find out your pension account number if you have forgotten it.

By identification document

Finding out the insurance number from your passport is one of the easiest ways, but far from the fastest.

Through the Internet

Not all citizens have enough time to contact the Pension Fund department directly, so they are more interested in whether it is possible to find SNILS by last name, first name, patronymic via the Internet, that is, online. It is officially impossible to find out such information online, and if you ask Pension Fund employees, they will also answer the question in the negative, since this information is confidential and is provided only in person.

However, authorized users of the State Services portal can still do this using the option already discussed earlier. There is also no separate service on the portal that allows you to recognize him by his full name.

How to check SNILS online on the portal and what is required for this? The entire verification procedure is quite simple: you need to go to the website and in the “Pensions, benefits and benefits” section, select “Notice on the status of your personal account with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.” It should be noted that the service is available only after authorization, so unregistered users will not be able to find out information in this way.

But you won’t be able to find out your SNILS number on the official website of the Russian Pension Fund, even if you are registered there. The position of the department is clear: information about the insurance personal account is strictly confidential.

By TIN

For many, it seems possible to find out SNILS by TIN. Read if it's possible.

By last name

Searching for SNILS by last name on the Internet is a waste of time. There is simply no service on the Internet that allows you to do this. It is impossible to obtain such information legally, unless with the help of current Pension Fund employees, which is a serious violation on their part.

Since it is impossible to find out the SNILS of an individual by full name online, you will have to go to the Pension Fund branch in person to get information about your personal account, as was repeatedly mentioned above.

Find out the individual insurance account number for the child

Many preschools and schools require parents to provide information about their child's insurance account. Unfortunately, it is also impossible to find out SNILS from a child’s birth certificate online. If for any reason the insurance certificate for a child is lost, then to obtain a duplicate you must contact the nearest branch of the Pension Fund. In the case of initial registration, you will need to submit an application for its issuance.

At work

When applying for a job, each employee must provide the employer with an individual personal account number. Mandatory contributions are made to it, which form the employee’s future pension. If the new employee has not worked anywhere before, the certificate must be issued in any case; this can be done either by the employee himself or by the employer with the employee’s power of attorney.

Thus, in addition to the above options, an employee can find out the personal account number from the chief accountant or in the personnel department of his enterprise.

Please remember that if you change your identification data, such as your last name, you must issue a new insurance certificate. Employees often forget about this, as a result of which the accountant has difficulty transferring insurance premiums and SZV-M.

How to find out an employee’s SNILS number via the Internet: currently, such a task does not cause any particular difficulties for an accountant. The Federal Tax Service has launched a special program to verify the personal data of individuals. To do this, you need to go to their website and in your personal account in the “Services” section, select the command “Check personal data to fill out the calculation of insurance premiums.” Then enter the requested data for employees or upload them in xml format. Within 24 hours you will receive a report with the result of the check, from which you will see whether the insurance number is valid.

Since it is not always possible to find out an employee’s SNILS number for various reasons, in such a situation it is worth resorting to the fail-safe and most reliable method - asking the employee to go to the Pension Fund branch. An employee of the Pension Fund will accept the application and issue a sheet with an insurance number. The whole procedure will take about 30 minutes.
