To get it, you need to personally contact the pension fund at your place of registration and write an application about it. An employee authorized by the fund will give you a special questionnaire to fill out.
After filling out, you transfer it to the fund, which is obliged, according to the norms of the law, to make you a certificate within 14 days. If this period is exceeded, you can safely complain, but at the moment such violations have not been registered and everything is done on time.
Now the public services portal is gaining more and more popularity. Thanks to which, many services have become faster and more accessible, from paying utility bills to paperwork.
And if earlier, registration on it did not require the introduction of a SNILS number, now it is a mandatory condition. Some citizens are starting to get nervous and think what kind of innovation this is from statesmen. But to find out these cherished 11 numbers is very simple.
How to find out the SNILS number
There are 4 main and legal ways to do this:
- Look into your pension certificate, which is often available to every working citizen of the Russian Federation.
- Apply to the pension fund at your place of residence, be sure to have personal identification documents in hand.
- In the personnel department of your enterprise, because without a copy of this document you would not have been accepted there.
- On the State Services portal, by requesting the data of an extended notification of the status of your individual account.
How to find out SNILS by TIN
The TIN refers to identifier documents, which means that you will be able to get information on it regarding your SNILS. So, by entering it into a special field on the State Services portal, such information will become available to you in just a couple of minutes.
Important! Official authorities noted the importance of the SNILS number on the website of the pension fund. Where it is clearly stated that this information is personal, because it contains all the information about where the person worked, what his salary was, what deductions were made from it.
If you decide to obtain information using the TIN directly at the PF department, then you will also need to provide any document identifying you - a passport, driver's license, etc. In addition to these two options, it is impossible to obtain SNILS data using the TIN in other ways.
How to find out SNILS by passport
The easiest, of course, is to visit the PF branch at your place of residence, where, after your identification, you will be given the necessary information.
Moreover, if earlier it was difficult due to long queues, now with the introduction of multifunctional centers, the State Services portal, etc., it is absolutely easy to do this. An employee of the fund branch will identify you according to the documents you provided and after that will issue a paper or a duplicate of the pension certificate. It depends what you need.
If you do this online, then again, the portal for the provision of public services will help you. Other services cannot provide this information even in a paid version, since the entire SNILS database is directly administered by the Pension Fund and is not publicly available. Therefore, it is impossible to get the data you need according to the passport data online.
How to recognize SNILS by last name
If you have an emergency and need this data urgently, you can cheat a little and get the SNILS number by last name online. To do this, we do the following:
- enter the State Services portal by entering your username and password;
- we find the tab on pension savings, since there is no direct opportunity on the portal to find out exactly the SNILS data;
- in the specified tab, click on the order "Extended notification of the status of your individual personal account";
- a letter will be sent to your mailbox in which the requested information will be displayed, as well as the SNILS number, also identified based on your last name.
Important! The above method is available only for those who have already been previously registered on this portal.
Find out the number of the pension certificate at work
When the need arises to obtain such information, it will be relevant to request it from your human resources department. The fact is that without a copy of the pension certificate, you simply would not be accepted there, because this paper is mandatory. After all, subsequently, the accounting department of the organization will make pension contributions to this account.
That is why such information will definitely be in your personal file in the personnel department, both in direct copy form and in the employment contract.
Typically, such a request does not require the completion of special forms or other statements, and is issued upon oral request with the permission of the immediate supervisor.
However, it may be that you will have to issue such an internal request, but, most likely, this is not noticed for a long time and is needed in order to control the work of the personnel department.
Is it possible to find out the insurance certificate number via the Internet
According to the letter of the law, citizens do not have such an opportunity. After all, this is the data that should not be provided via the Internet. It is precisely because of this that in our state there is no specialized Internet portal that provides such information after entering the data of the surname or other identification data on it.
In this matter, the authorities are principled and unequivocal - the data of the SNILS database of citizens of our country cannot be accessed via the Internet. But it is possible to obtain this data in an indirect way, since direct ones are not provided, and without violating the current legislation and its norms.
Find out with the help of the State Services portal
This method has already been mentioned above, but it is available only to those who have previously registered on the official website for the provision of public services - State Services. If you try to do this now, the system will require you to enter the SNILS number, which, in fact, is what you want to find.
For those who wish to undergo this procedure, there are also many options. But without SNILS data, he is only one. After all, for the same pre-registration, this number is essential. By the way, with it you will have a very limited list of possibilities. Therefore, let's expand them and at the same time find the data we need.
To do this, you still have to visit a specialized center, for example, the post office of the Russian Federation or the Rostelecom office. There you will provide a passport or other personal identification document and after a short wait you will receive full registration and login details to your personal account.
It is desirable, after changing them to others. Now, regarding SNILS, during this procedure it will become available and will be displayed in the form with a login and password.
So, if, for example, you have lost your pension certificate, and you really need its number and you have previously registered on the above site, do the following:
- enter data to enter the portal - login and password;
- in your personal account, click on the "Pension Savings" tab;
- after that, you will be able to request the status of your individual personal account in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, click on receiving a notification about it;
- the number you need will be written in the notification you receive.
It would seem that there are a lot of ways to get information about your SNILS number, but at the same time they are all tricky. On the other hand, if such information is urgently needed, then there is nothing to do, you have to look. But it is better to keep your ID carefully so that you have it at hand at any time to receive such information.
