We receive an application for obtaining SNILS: a sample. What documents may be required to obtain SNILS

In our everyday life, it has long been customary to use the abbreviation SNILS, meaning by it a light green laminated card, which we present to almost all government agencies.

In fact, this letter designation is nothing more than your individual number in the pension system, to be more precise, the insurance number of an individual personal account. Why SNILS is needed and why it is asked in organizations, read below.

Why you need an Individual Retirement Account

Russia has had a system of mandatory pension insurance for a long time. A unique account has been created in the unified PFR database - SNILS, consisting of a set of 11 digits (the first nine of which are the number of the account itself, the last two are used to confirm transactions). It is needed for:

If, among other documents, the employer does not require SNILS, this may mean the informal nature of employment or a predictable refusal to hire (for example, when a probationary period is first established).

In addition, he may be asked to provide:

• in state bodies of social protection for the calculation of payments (for example, the preferential category of citizens, large families, etc.);
• at the labor exchange;
• when registering on a single portal of public services;
• when rendering medical care of a different nature (including when applying for subsidies for medicines, sanatorium treatment for adults and children);
• at the disposal of maternity capital funds;
• for the child's admission to preschool and school educational institutions;
• with participation in special state programs to improve the living standards of the population (for example, the mortgage programs "Young Family");
• for issuing a single electronic card (its introduction as an alternative to many documents is planned for 2017-2018).

The personal account number registered with the FIU is unlimited and never changes. An account can only be closed in connection with the death of its owner.

We add that the light green card itself, on which the insurance number of the personal account is written, is called the insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance (SSOPS).

How to get SSOPS for a citizen of the Russian Federation

To make SNILS, you do not have to stand in line and spend a lot of time on it. This procedure is absolutely free and is included in the list of standard public services. Sometimes citizens, due to religious beliefs, deliberately refuse to receive a certificate of the insurance number of their personal account - the law allows this, making an exception.

For working citizens, the most acceptable way to issue SSOPS is to contact the FIU through their employers. In such cases, representatives of the organization where the applicant works are responsible for the accuracy of the submitted personal data. If the employee did not have time to receive the document and quit, then the employer must take measures to preserve it by notifying the owner by mail. At the same time, any citizen, regardless of employment, can deal with this issue on their own.

Documents for obtaining SNILS

You need to select the territorial branch of the Pension Fund, which refers to your place of registration (if there is none, then the place of residence, place of work). You need to have a passport with you, in which your personal data will be verified with those filled in on the form.

In the absence of a civil passport, the documents required for identification when applying for SNILS may be:

• international passport;
• military ID;
• temporary identity card;
• sailor's passport;
• certificate of release from places of detention, etc.

The ADV-1 application form will be issued to you at the PFR customer service department. You will need to indicate the date and place of your birth, passport data, information about citizenship, employment, etc. You will need to enter information with a ballpoint pen, block letters and without corrections.

Where else can I go to get it, except for the PF?

It should be noted that today it is impossible to submit an application through a single portal of public services, this is not provided for by the program for reasons of strict confidentiality. At the same time, using your personal data, you can see on this site the points that you have already been accrued, the period of your work, the amount of voluntary contributions and the length of service taken into account. In addition, you can apply for an insurance number at any MFC within the region of residence, regardless of the area where the applicant is registered.

The law does not prohibit applying to the FIU or the MFC for obtaining an insurance account number by proxy certified by a notary.

When to pick up the document?

Later three weeks after application you can come to get SNILS. In the same period, the employer will also receive it, if there was no personal appeal from the citizen. The employer, in turn, is obliged to transfer the received document to the account holder within 7 days.

How to get SNILS for a child and why does he need it?

We have already written that a green card-certificate of pension insurance can and should be issued not only to a working person, but also to a child. It is better to deal with this issue without delay, immediately after the birth of the baby.

Who can receive?

• To issue SNILS, a newborn will need to contact the FIU to one of the parents.
• In some schools and kindergartens, the employees of these institutions are engaged in registration, who collect questionnaires and copies of passports from parents, after which they provide all the documents to the FIU in a general package.
• If the child is already 14 years old and has a passport, you can do without parents and apply to the Pension Fund on your own.

The registration of the SSOPS is especially relevant for those adolescents who combine study and part-time work - already from a young age, subject to official employment, their employer will deduct mandatory contributions.

Documents to receive

• The parent presents his passport and the birth certificate of the child.
• He also fills out the ADV-1 form and gives it to an employee of the Pension Fund department, after which he receives a ready-made green certificate on the appointed day.

SNILS of the child is required for presentation to all state medical institutions, as well as preschool institutions and school.

Is SNILS issued to a foreigner?

A foreign citizen should obtain the named document, regardless of the length of stay in the territory of Russia and the period for which the labor contract is concluded. Thus, our state enables migrants to fix the period of work, the amount of accrued wages and mandatory contributions for the formation of a pension.

Documents for registration should be submitted to the PFR department located at the place of work (as well as in the case of Russian citizens, you can also contact the employer with this question):

• any identity document (it can be a foreign passport, international passport, refugee certificate, etc.);
• temporary residence permit or residence permit (we clarify that information about the presence of a residence permit is not needed, since it does not matter whether a foreigner has permanent or temporary registration in the territory of the Russian Federation).

In some cases, they may be asked to provide a patent and a migration card, as well as a notarized translation of the "native" passport.

Lost certificate of insurance number

If there has been a loss, damage or theft of SNILS, you must immediately take measures to restore it. You do not need to perform any special actions (call the hotline, report to law enforcement agencies, etc.), because you have only lost your green card.

The identification number of the personal number of the insurance account cannot be lost - it is assigned once and cannot be cancelled. You can get a duplicate within a month.

You need to submit an appropriate application to the FIU department, where you originally applied for receipt. In the application form ADV-3, you should indicate the circumstances of the loss (theft, loss, damage, etc.), write your personal data and a request for a duplicate.

The same application can be sent to the employer (for example, to the personnel department of the company), then the employees of the organization where the citizen works will take care of the restoration procedure for the employee.

If you independently applied to the client department of the Pension Fund, then you can find out about its readiness by telephoning multi-channel contacts of the PFR or on the website (not in all regions).

If personal data has changed

In cases where a change of surname has occurred, it is necessary to replace the SNILS certificate. We are talking not only about registering a marriage, but also in other cases (of one's own free will when applying to the registry office, when adopting, establishing paternity, etc.). In addition, you will need to get a new green card of the insurance number if you have changed:

• name, fatherland;
• date or year of birth (for example, if a new birth certificate of a child was received due to a technical error);
• citizenship.

With an application to change your data (form ADV-2), you should contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, attaching a previously issued insurance certificate. In addition, you should have with you a document on the basis of which there was a change in personal data (for example, a certificate of marriage or divorce) and a new passport (it should already contain a new surname). Within a month, you will receive a green document with updated information. The identification number of the certificate will remain, as we have already said, unchanged.

If the citizen who changed his surname does not apply to the FIU, errors may occur in the calculation of insurance premiums, in determining the length of service, and in calculating the monthly pension provision.

SNILS (Insurance number of an individual personal account) for a foreigner is a document that provides an opportunity to receive public services and ensures social security. In addition, it is on this document that various data about a citizen are recorded: his work experience, information about the funds transferred to his insurance account, etc. How to get SNILS for a foreign citizen - we will find out further.

Where do SNILS for foreign citizens

The procedure for obtaining this document is carried out at the regional branch of the pension fund of Russia at the place of residence or registration. You can apply for SNILS either on your own or through your employer, i.e. the number is issued directly to the employee at the request of the boss. In the second case, the employer will have to indicate the reason why the foreigner could not appear in person.

The issue of obtaining SNILS for children of foreigners is a little more difficult to resolve. You can get a plastic card for a newborn child both at the pension fund and at the district multifunctional center. Until the age of 14, a kindergarten or school will take care of creating a green card for a child. After receiving a passport, the child will have to independently come to the PF department and receive a document. If he does not want or cannot for some reason do it on his own, then at the first place of work he will be offered to carry out this procedure by the employer.

Documents for creating a plastic card

A foreign citizen, applying to the pension fund to receive SNILS, must have with him:

1. Identification. If you do not have a passport with you, then you can present the following documents for identification: a passport, a birth certificate, an officer's identity card, etc.
2. Translation of the passport translated and certified by a notary. To do this, you must first apply to a translation agency for a translation of your passport, and then to any notary office. Usually the procedure takes about a day, and its price starts from 1000 rubles.
3. Questionnaire. The form and filling rules are issued directly to the pension fund.
4. A document confirming the legality of stay on the territory of the Russian Federation. This may be a TRP in the passport - a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation.
5. Child's birth certificate. If you want to apply for SNILS for a newborn child, then in addition to your identity card and a specially completed questionnaire, you will definitely need to present a birth certificate for the baby.

Filling out the application form for obtaining SNILS

The foreigner must fill out the questionnaire on his own, but in some cases this can be done by the dispatcher. It is allowed to enter data both in Russian and in a foreign language. In the latter case, you will need to attach a notarized copy, literally translated into Russian, to the questionnaire.

The following fields must be filled in the form:

• Name and gender.
• Date and place of birth.
• Information about the place of registration and actual residence.
• Phone number to be contacted.
• Basic data from the passport.

At the end, the date of filling is indicated, and the signature of the citizen is also put.

The questionnaire must be filled out without corrections, strikethroughs and other forms of correction. In this case, only capital letters are used. The data indicated in the questionnaire must fully coincide with the real ones.

Features of obtaining SNILS

To obtain a plastic card by a foreign citizen, the following information is useful:

• The manufacturing process does not require financial investments. Regardless of the age or duration of residence of a foreigner in the territory of the Russian Federation, SNILS is done completely free of charge.
• According to Law No. 115-FZ, a citizen registering in the compulsory insurance system should not be classified as highly qualified specialists.
• A mandatory questionnaire can be found on the Internet, for example, on the website of public services or PF, downloaded and filled out in electronic form. Then the document must be printed, signed and presented to the PF.
• For foreign citizens who have recently arrived in the Russian Federation, in order to obtain SNILS, it will be necessary to conclude an employment contract with an employer for at least 6 months.
• Can a pension fund refuse to issue SNILS? Only in this case, if the system already has a registered person with similar profile data.

In all other respects, obtaining SNILS for residents of Russia and foreign citizens is an absolutely equivalent process.

How long does it take to receive SNILS?

Before a foreign citizen receives SNILS, you will need to wait a certain time after submitting the documents. These terms may vary depending on which method of obtaining SNILS a foreign citizen liked:

• When ordering a document on your own in the PF department, the production period established for all is about 3 weeks.
• If the registration of SNILS is implemented through the employer, then you will have to wait a little longer. The employer has the right to submit an application to the Pension Fund within 14 days from the date the foreigner starts working for him. After that, the plastic card is made within 3 weeks. The law then gives the employer one more week to hand over the certificate to the employee. Therefore, in this case, obtaining SNILS may be delayed for another 3 weeks compared to the previous method.

In the modern world, each person has a certain package of documents in his hands, without which it is impossible to exist in society and on the territory of a particular state. In Russia, a certificate that contains SNILS information is among the mandatory for social and medical services.

SNILS is an individual personal number that is indicated on the insurance certificate. It is under this number that a person is entered into the mandatory pension insurance database. It is assigned to a citizen once in a lifetime and does not change in the future. The document contains data:

• General - gender, name of the owner.
• Dates - the birth of the citizen who owns the document, and the issuance of SNILS.
• The number itself.

All citizens must have a document, regardless of age, even newborns must have SNILS, which their parents draw up for them.

This certificate does not have an expiration date, however, if any of the data indicated on it (listed above) changes, the document itself must be replaced, but the number also remains the same.

All the data of the citizen related to the length of service and the payment of insurance premiums that the employer must make are entered into this account, and subsequently, it is on the basis of these data that payments of a pension and social nature to the citizen are accrued.

Why do you need a SNILS certificate

SNILS is a rather important document for a person living in the territory of the Russian Federation, it is thanks to its presentation that many social and medical services are provided. The document provides the following types of services:

• When applying to the Pension Fund for various information regarding social payments or pension savings, or simply the service of a person by this organization.
• If a person needs to use the official website of the PFR, then it is these data that will allow him to do this.
• State benefits and social services can also be provided to a citizen under the certificate of SNILS.
• In addition to the PFR website, a citizen can also use other Internet resources (for example, the State Services website) to receive social and medical services. SNILS is the data that is necessary to perform such operations.
• Medical care, as well as the issuance of an electronic medical record, is carried out if SNILS data is available, with a personal appeal to the medical center. institutions need a certificate.
• Registration of a child in a kindergarten, in educational and educational institutions occurs upon presentation of this certificate, as this creates a guarantee for both parents, and for the child, and for the administration of the organization that the child is socially insured.

So, we can say that SNILS is a really important document, the acquisition of which is necessary for any person who currently lives or is simply located in Russia.

Who handles the paperwork

Depending on age and social status, different categories of citizens must issue SNILS.

1. In the case when a citizen is not officially employed, the documents for issuing a certificate indicating SNILS in it must be carried to the PF by the person himself.
2. If there is an official place of work, then the design falls on the shoulders of the employer, namely the personnel department.
3. At the birth of a child, the registry office draws up documents that are sent to the Pension Fund, and as a result, the document will be issued.
4. Also, children under 14 years of age can obtain a document, but with the assistance of legal representatives or the educational institution in which the child is enrolled.
5. After 14 years, a person performs this procedure himself when applying to the PF.
6. And finally, foreign citizens. They also need SNILS, which is issued to them by an employer or educational institution, if they are officially registered somewhere, or a person independently goes to the Pension Fund and draws up a document.

Accordingly, if a person is engaged in registration on his own, then he takes the finished document himself at the PF department, where he submitted the application; if this was done by some organization where a person studies or works, then it is worth picking up the document there. SNILS is made within 3 weeks, no more. And since its presence is of great importance, it is worth thinking about getting it in advance. It is best if parents do this immediately after the birth of the child.

Required documents for obtaining SNILS

If a person applies for SNILS for the first time, then only two documents need to be presented:

1. An identity document (most often a passport is used for this).
2. An application filled out in the ADV-1 form, which a citizen can receive at the PF department itself.

However, if we are talking about a child under 14 years old, then his legal representatives apply to the department, then the list will be slightly different:

1. An identity document, this time of a legal representative (parents or guardians), since passports in the Russian Federation are issued after a person reaches the age of 14.
2. Birth certificate of the person in whose name the SNILS certificate is issued.
3. The application is all in the same form.

And finally, if there is a change of data and it is necessary to replace the certificate for this reason, then the following are presented:

1. Passport or other document identifying the identity of the applicant.
2. An application, in this case already in the ADV-2 form, which can be obtained at the same PF department where the person applies.

If the document has been lost and needs to be restored, then it is worth carrying:

1. A document confirming the identity of the applied citizen (or his representative).
2. Application for ADV-3.
3. Preferably (if available) a copy of the previous SNILS.

If a citizen does not personally deal with the issue of obtaining a certificate, but acts through the employer or the administration of an educational or educational institution, then the personnel department must also submit an inventory of the documents that they received from the person.

If the document is issued for a foreign student, and the identity document is filled out in a foreign language, then a translation of these data must also be provided, however, it is important that the translation is notarized. Previously, the registration of SNILS was permissible only for those citizens with whom an employment contract was concluded for a period of at least 6 months, now the legislation allows obtaining a certificate, regardless of the term of the concluded contract.

Application for obtaining SNILS

When filling out an application for a certificate, you must specify the following data:

• Full name of the citizen for whom SNILS will be registered.
• Gender identity.
• Place and date of birth.
• Citizenship of a citizen.
• Place of registration.
• The address of the actual place of residence (if it does not differ from the official one, the information of the previous field is simply duplicated in this field).
• A phone number where the applicant can actually be contacted.
• Data of the presented document that identifies the person.
• The date the application was completed.
• The signature of the applicant - the person on whom the document is issued.

If SNILS is issued for children under the age of 14, then the signature is put by his legal representatives. If the personnel department is engaged in registration, and the citizen himself, for various reasons, cannot personally sign the application, then the reason is also indicated when submitting documents to the PF.

The entire document is filled out in neat, legible handwriting, in block letters. It is acceptable (and even desirable) to fill out on a computer, sometimes the PF employee himself fills out the application.

The insurance number of an individual personal account in 2003 in our state became mandatory in the list of documents available to citizens of the Russian Federation. Having collected the documents for obtaining SNILS in full, you can issue it to a newborn.

Why do you need a personal account from the PFR

It is a laminated card of a light green hue, with information written in black on the front side:

• directly individual number.
• Name of the owner;
• the gender of the citizen;
• date of birth, as well as place;

Everyone needs an individual account issued by the FIU to track and verify all available labor activity, official and mandatory contributions, as regards employees.

The set of numbers contained on the form is assigned for life. This means that re-registration to a different number is not provided at all. Even if the card itself is lost, the last name, first name, other personal data is changed, the digital designation on the front side will remain unchanged.

The presence of such important information helps in many areas of human life. So, for example, an individual numerical value is used for registration on the State Services portal. The value is also relevant for entering your personal account on the website of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or the Non-State Pension Fund, on the pages of which you can see the existing pension accruals, work experience, all past and present employers of a citizen.

Important! An insurance number is needed for official employment, for the provision of services under a civil law contract. It makes it possible to issue many social benefits provided by the state.

Personal number for a child

If minor representatives of our country have an insurance number of an individual personal account, then this enables children:

• participate from birth in social programs, for example, purchase medicines free of charge up to 3 years, if outpatient treatment is expected;
• organize their own pension savings if a citizen under the age of 18 wants to find a job during the holidays. This will increase the length of service, accrue funds to the FIU;
• be identified to receive information on already used state or municipal payments, etc.

The presence of this individual number is very important at any age. It is necessary to take care of acquiring one from the very early age of the baby.

There is no photo on the form with a unique number, and it is unlimited. This is the undoubted advantage of this document, which, in comparison with the passport, does not provide for its replacement at certain intervals.

It's important to know! Some medical institutions in our country (polyclinics, hospitals, hospitals, feldsher centers) require representatives of a newborn to have insurance along with a birth certificate. On this occasion, initially there were a lot of complaints, appeals and disputes. However, over time, it became clear to parents that such a requirement of the health system was justified. So, when providing medicines on a gratuitous basis or applying for benefits, there is no time to wait 21 days to become an insured person. And the law does not provide for other (reduced) terms.

Registration of an insurance certificate for a child under 18 years of age

Before you figure out what documents are needed to get your own SNILS, it is worth understanding how personal data is submitted. There are several ways:

1. parents of children have the right to apply to the FIU on their own, without the participation of a minor;
2. after receiving a passport for the first time at the age of 14, a citizen can submit an application without his legal representatives, do not take them with him to the fund office;
3. an educational institution that accepts minors after graduating from the 9th or 11th grade of secondary school, represented by its administration, is authorized to submit such applications;
4. if the registry office cooperates with the FIU, making it easier for the parents of a newborn to go through bureaucratic procedures, then it will be possible to provide personal data there.

Download for viewing and printing:

After determining one of the submission methods, you need to understand what you need to get the coveted SNILS:

• the first document of the child is a birth certificate, if he does not yet have his internal passport;
• passport (internal) of the parent (adoptive parent and guardian), if the application is submitted by such a person;
• a completed application (form ADV-1), which is signed by the representative of the child;
• passport of a minor after 14 years of age, if it is decided to obtain an insurance number on their own without adults.

Documents for SNILS are accepted at the PFR department or the MFC (a multifunctional center that provides a range of state and municipal services).

Important! The MFC has the right only to take the initial data necessary for registration, however, obtaining is possible only in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation of the corresponding region (subject).

Do you need on the subject? and our lawyers will contact you shortly.

Obtaining SNILS by an adult citizen

A citizen of the Russian Federation who has reached the age of majority and is fully capable has the right to receive an insurance certificate from the Pension Fund in person. Here are the documents needed for SNILS for an adult citizen:

• own internal passport;
• questionnaire of the insured person of the established form.

You can apply with the help of your employer. Competent employees of the enterprise fill in all personal data and transfer information to the authorized body. Military personnel can obtain an insurance certificate in their military unit.

Important! Only the person who submitted the application can receive a ready-made certificate. If a citizen, then personally. If the employer or other authorized person, then, accordingly, the obligation and right lie with them.

Questionnaire of the insured person

An obligatory step in obtaining SNILS for an adult and a child is to fill out a questionnaire in the ADV-1 form. On a special form, you must indicate:

1. Full name of the recipient of the insurance certificate;
2. gender;
3. registration address;
4. day, month, year of birth;
5. citizenship, place of birth;
6. if the actual address is different from the registration, then it will need to be indicated;
7. full passport data (series, number, when issued, by which authority, subdivision code);
8. date of filling out the questionnaire;
9. signature of the applicant (insured person).

Important! You can fill out the application yourself. The main thing is that all data be legible. It is recommended to write words in block letters, if possible, use technical means. In some branches of the PFR, employees are filling out an application for obtaining SNILS themselves.

Submission of documents for obtaining SNILS takes a little time. Registration of the insurance certificate lasts 3 weeks (21 days) from the date of application to the authorized body. Payment of state duty is not provided - the procedure is free.

Using the portal of public services for registration

A convenient portal provides a huge range of public services. Through this site it is possible to receive various certificates, leave appeals, apply for international passports.

However, it is impossible to receive a personal account through this portal of the State Services. This is due to the fact that the issuance of an insurance certificate is accompanied by the transfer of confidential information. Only PFR departments, MFCs and registry offices can receive such information.

Important! There are currently no other ways to submit initial data and obtain a certificate.

Foreign citizenship and SNILS

Foreign citizens who get a job in the regions of the Russian Federation can receive an insurance certificate. The exception is qualified professionals. This category of workers is defined by Russian legislation.

To receive it is necessary:

• collect documentation (passport or other document confirming the identity of a foreigner, as well as a document confirming his legal stay on the territory of the Russian Federation - work permit, visa);
• bring them personally to the department or entrust the transfer through the employer.

Important! Until January 1, 2015, foreign persons needed an employment contract to apply to the PFR branch. Now there is no such need - the requirement has been canceled at the legislative level.

In addition, if the foreigner's passport is written in a language other than Russian, then a notarized translation must be attached to it.

Dear readers!

We describe typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique and requires individual legal assistance.

For a prompt resolution of your problem, we recommend contacting qualified lawyers of our site.

What do you need to get SNILS?

To apply for SNILS, you need your desire, a certain set of documents and a trip to the Pension Fund. But let's talk about everything in more detail.

First you need to decide which category of citizens you belong to:

1. If you are a non-working citizen, then you need to carry the documents to the Pension Fund personally.
2. If you are a working citizen, then your employer is responsible for the registration of SNILS.
3. If a child under the age of 14 needs SNILS, this can be done by parents (legal representatives), the educational institution where the child is studying, or the registry office - through interdepartmental interaction (if there is an agreement) with the Pension Fund when registering a newborn.
4. If SNILS is needed for a child over 14 years old, then he applies to the Pension Fund on his own.
5. If SNILS is necessary for a foreign citizen, then if he works, the employer draws up a document for him, if not, he goes to the Pension Fund on his own.

As a rule, the Pension Fund prepares SNILS within 3 weeks. If you took the documents for SNILS yourself, then you pick them up yourself. If the employer or the administration of the educational institution gave them for you, then you will pick up the documents from them.

What documents are needed for SNILS?

Now let's decide what documents we need to apply for SNILS.

The legislator requires 2 documents from us:

1. Identity document.
2. Questionnaire of the insured person.

If we are talking about cases where the documents are submitted by the employer or the administration of the educational institution, then they also need to submit an inventory of the transferred documents. When transferring to an employee of SNILS, you need to make sure that he signs the statement on receipt of the document, and then return it to the Pension Fund.

The employer must transfer it to the employee within 1 week after receiving SNILS from the Pension Fund. If an employee quit for some reason, the employer must send him a notification of receipt of SNILS at the last known address. If the employee does not respond and does not come for SNILS, the employer must keep the document in the former employee's personal file.

Questionnaire for obtaining SNILS

To obtain SNILS, it is necessary to fill out the questionnaire of the insured person in the ADV-1 form.

Let's figure out what exactly we will have to fill in:

• Name of the insured person.
• Date of Birth.
• Place of Birth.
• Citizenship.
• The address where the citizen is registered.
• Address of the actual place of residence (this column is filled in if the addresses do not match).
• Telephone.
• Data of the identity document.
• Date of completion of the questionnaire.
• Signature of the insured person.

Application for SNILS: filling rules

The application for obtaining SNILS, or the questionnaire of the insured person, is filled in by the applicant citizen with his own hand in block letters.

If the documents are submitted by the employer, then the application can be filled out, for example, by the personnel service. In some regions, the applicant, when applying independently, is not required to fill out an application for obtaining SNILS - it is filled out by an employee of the Pension Fund department on a computer.

The application must be certified by the signature of the citizen. If there are circumstances due to which the applicant cannot sign on the form (for example, being on a business trip for more than 1 month), then the employer must indicate these reasons when submitting documents.

For children under the age of 14, their parents or legal representatives sign.

What does it take to get SNILS for a foreign citizen?

To obtain SNILS, foreign citizens must simultaneously comply with 2 conditions:

1. So that foreign citizens (or stateless persons who are temporarily on the territory of the Russian Federation) have an employment contract concluded for a period of at least 6 months or an open-ended contract.
2. Citizens should not be classified as highly qualified specialists.

Another feature concerns filling in the questionnaire of the insured person: the information contained in it must match the information from the identity document of a foreign citizen. If this document is in a foreign language, then the Pension Fund needs its notarized translation into Russian.

But since 2015, the legislator has been expanding the category of foreign citizens who may qualify for SNILS: now they will include all foreign citizens and stateless persons who temporarily reside on the territory of the Russian Federation, regardless of the term of the employment contract concluded with them.

A little more about SNILS

SNILS is the personal account number of a citizen insured in the pension insurance system.

This number is individual and unchanged throughout the life of a citizen. It consists of 11 digits, 9 of which are the number, and the last 2 are the control number.

SNILS is on the pension certificate. If for some reason you have lost your certificate, you must restore it (See Where and how to restore SNILS in case of loss? What to do if you lost SNILS?). But you can only lose the document - the number itself is forever assigned to you, so you will see all the same numbers in the received duplicate certificate. The same applies to the issue of the exchange of a pension certificate in connection with a change in personal data.

The pension certificate can be obtained/exchanged only at the branch of the Pension Fund at the place of residence. No other body is involved in the execution of this document. Moreover, it cannot be issued on the Unified Portal of Public Services - today such a function is not available for citizens of the Russian Federation.
