For most girls (women) there comes such a solemn event - a wedding. The bride, in addition to the hassle of preparing the wedding, choosing a dress, needs to decide on the surname that she will have after registering the relationship. According to the current legislation, the wife may not change the so-called maiden name, take the husband's surname, or choose a double one (and the order of the surnames is chosen at her discretion). The choice of the husband's surname, as it were, gives the woman the status of a wife, i.e. she enters the family, the clan of her husband, becomes one with him. But, despite this, following the traditions regarding the choice of the husband's surname entails a number of unpleasant moments from a legal point of view, namely, regarding the change of many documents.

Why do you need to change SNILS when changing your last name after marriage

SNILS or the Insurance number of an individual personal account is not just a small green piece of paper that is never needed. In many instances, a document is more important than a Russian passport. An individual number is assigned to each citizen of the Russian Federation after birth or after obtaining citizenship. The number does not change throughout life. At present, there are even such curious cases when a spouse takes a double surname, and there are even precedents when the wife's maiden name. Accordingly, the groom also needs to be prepared to change the above documents.

SNILS stores all data about a person, including information about work, pension and insurance contributions, debts, etc. Without SNILS, not a single citizen will be able to receive a pension in old age.

In addition, for many banking operations (obtaining a loan, mortgage), tax (registration of an individual entrepreneur, LLC, etc.), as well as for obtaining some visas, a document is mandatory.

The main side of the document contains the following information:

• insurance number (11 digits);
• Date of Birth;
• date of receiving.

Despite a small list at first glance, without SNILS you will not be able to use the State Services electronic public services portal, you will not be able to apply to pension funds, free medical institutions, many employers do not hire new employees without SNILS.

Also, the state does not pay benefits or allowances to citizens without a personal insurance number.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that the absence or presence of an invalid SNILS is a big problem for any active citizen.

Where and how can I change SNILS

Citizens today are provided with several ways to change SNILS when changing their last name:

• through the Pension Fund of Russia - if the employer transfers payments for you, then you can contact any branch, but if you make transfers yourself, you will have to visit the territorial fund at the place of registration;
• through the company in which you work - accordingly, the request will be made by the organization.

Important! Do not forget that if you get married and change your last name, then first of all you will have to change your passport, since information about it is also indicated in SNILS. You cannot change SNILS, and then only your passport. An exception is the situation if you have a temporary residence permit, a passport, or a driver's license. All of the above documents also prove your identity.

According to the legislation, the replacement of the pension insurance card does not provide for state fees, therefore, a new certificate will be provided to you free of charge.

How to change SNILS through public services

With the development of information technology, many people have a question whether it is possible to change SNILS when changing a surname online. Unfortunately, this function is not yet available, but you can enroll in the Pension Fund without a queue for a specific day and hour.

The service also allows you to check the size of your own savings and whether the recalculation was carried out correctly after replacing SNILS when changing your last name. Previously, until 2013, citizens received notifications that indicated the amount of savings. Letters came to the address of residence. But since 2013, the fund has decided not to send notices, but to provide information at the request of citizens. Since the employer deducts funds to the fund, the employee does not always know the amount of his pension savings.

To find out this information, he needs to contact the PFR office at the place of registration, presenting a pension policy and passport, and write an application. Fund employees will be required to provide information free of charge and quickly. To check SNILS via the Internet, you must register on the public services website. After that, it remains only to wait for the letter with the key and log in. The letter comes to the mailbox at the place of residence. After that, you can go to your personal account on the website www.pfrf.ru. As a login, enter the SNILS number, which is written on the pension certificate card and the password specified during registration on the public services website. On the website, you order an account statement, which opens in a browser window and comes to your e-mail address. The statement, if necessary, can be printed out. It is impossible to find out the amount of accruals without registering in the public services system via the Internet. This information is a commercial secret, and employees of the FIU have no right to disclose or provide it to third parties.

Is it possible to change the certificate while in another city

It is possible to change SNILS when changing a surname in another city only if the head of the company makes payments for you. Addresses where you can apply and change SNILS are available on the PFR website. If we are talking about an individual entrepreneur or your personal business, then you will have to apply directly to the branch of the Pension Fund where you are registered.

Replacement of SNILS, as well as a passport, when changing a surname after marriage by proxy is not carried out. The personal presence of a citizen is required.

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that although all questions with documents usually cause a headache and take a lot of time, replacing SNILS when changing a surname is quick and quite simple. Do not delay with this issue, because no one knows when which document may be needed.

Required documents for the replacement of SNILS

In the first option, the direct change of SNILS is carried out in the Pension Fund of Russia. Before visiting, you will need to collect a package of documents:

• application form ADV-2 with a signature (must be filled in personally);
• old SNILS card;
