All ways to find out the TIN of an individual by passport

The tax authority assigns a taxpayer identification number (TIN) to each individual, which makes it possible to account for income tax, as well as to calculate and control the payment of other taxes.

As a rule, it may be necessary to provide a copy of the TIN certificate when applying for a job and when performing legal actions. Although now employers are everywhere moving away from the practice of requiring this document, since it is not difficult to request a number knowing the last name, first name, patronymic and passport details of the person hired. But there are times when you urgently need to report the indicated numbers, but they are not at hand. Let's figure out how to find out the TIN of an individual from a passport.

Ways to find out TIN

An identification number is automatically assigned to an individual when a citizen applies to the tax authority and consists of 12 digits. It is indicated in the issued certificate and accompanies a person throughout his life. This number collects all information in the Federal Tax Service about his movable and immovable property in order to present tax receipts. It is indicated by employers when transferring personal income tax and by the citizens themselves who submit declarations in cases provided for by tax legislation. If the certificate is lost or not available with you, and you need to find out the TIN number, then there are two main ways to obtain such information:

• when applying in person to the tax office at the place of residence, presenting a passport,
• using online services.

With the development of contactless technologies, direct visits to government bodies are becoming a thing of the past. A more popular and faster way is getting information using various online services that allow you to get information from databases on some details that identify a person. For individuals, the opportunity to find out the TIN by passport in real time is available on the official websites of state bodies:

• Federal Tax Service www.nalog.ru,
• Unified portal of public services www.gosuslugi.ru.

Getting information about the TIN of an individual is quite simple, you just need to fill out a form on the site, indicating a few details. These include:

Knowing all the above data, you can find someone else's TIN. This may be required, for example, when a person took a job and did not provide a copy of the certificate. An employer can use the service and find out his taxpayer number without forcing a person to look for a certificate in personal documents and provide a copy of it to the accounting department.
