One of the parents takes his passport and, together with the child’s birth certificate, applies to the Pension Fund.

A pilot project for interaction between the civil registry office and the Pension Fund of Russia has been launched in several regions of Russia. the information is transferred to the Pension Fund and after some time the child receives a green card.
For a foreign citizen
A foreign citizen will need to obtain a SNILS to work. IN Russian Federation he cannot do without fulfilling two conditions:
- an employment contract with a term of more than 6 months is required;
- SNILS are not issued to highly qualified specialists.
A foreigner must fill out the form exactly as indicated in his document, which serves as an identity card. It must be certified by a notary and translated into Russian.
Citizens who do not have SNILS include military personnel, as well as minors whose parents did not provide this document. At the same time, it is impossible without SNILS; on government service websites, an insurance certificate allows you to participate in social programs.
List of documents
To successfully obtain SNILS you do not need many documents. The most important thing is the passport; any other document officially recognized as identification will do instead. Such equivalent replacements are:
- international passport;
- document confirming your residence permit;
- seaman's passport;
- diplomat's passport;
- military serviceman's ticket;
- officer's identification form;
- certificate of release;
- refugee certificate.
Second necessary document will be a questionnaire. This is a special form ADV-1, it is downloaded on the Internet, it can be obtained at work or at the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The following data is entered into it:
- the applicant's full name, date of birth and gender;
- full name of place of birth according to passport and citizenship;
- postal code and address according to registration;
- actual residential address - not filled in if the citizen lives by registration;
- phone number;
- details of the document acting as identification;
- date and signature.
Only the citizen himself must fill out the application. If the applicant is working, the form can be filled out by an employee of the personnel department. In some regions, this form is filled out by a Pension Fund employee.
Registration with the Pension Fund
If lost
Let's figure it out.
The SNILS number is assigned to a person for life, regardless of a change of surname or loss of a document.
When restoring a lost green card, you need to contact the HR department, where an application for issuing a duplicate is written.
If a person does not work officially or belongs to categories such as individual entrepreneur, then he independently applies to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at his place of registration. To do this, download the necessary form from the Internet. Within a month, the application will be considered and the citizen will receive new document with the same number.
It is important to remember that in case of loss or theft of this document, you must contact the Pension Fund with a statement within a month from the date of loss. Due to loss or any other reason, there is no need to pay a state fee to obtain a duplicate SNILS, everything is done free of charge.
It is necessary to carefully check the newly issued document; an error in the letter “e” or any other discrepancy with the passport data makes SNILS invalid. If there is a discrepancy with the previous number, then an error has crept into the system and you have been assigned a new personal account. This is immediately reported to the Pension Fund employee.
You only need to keep this document with you. The employer and other authorities only need a copy; they have no right to store the original.
When residing not according to registration
If working citizens are issued a SNILS regardless of registration in a given region, then if they obtain it independently, the lack of registration becomes a problem.

How to get SNILS? The pension system in Russia is structured in such a way that every citizen, upon reaching retirement age, can count on receiving a pension. For this purpose, it is envisaged to allocate unique individual numbers for each citizen of our state. Briefly, these pension account numbers are called SNILS.
The employee must present the SNILS number to the accounting department upon employment; it is to this account that pension accruals will be transferred from wages. Over time, pension capital is formed on this personal account.
The SNILS card itself is a certificate of assignment of an insurance pension number. IN last years The SNILS number is required not only for pensions, so its registration has become mandatory. If you did not issue it for your child immediately after birth, you can get it later by contacting your insurer. A child over 14 years old can apply for it independently, and his employer can do this for an adult citizen. You will learn about how this happens and all the nuances from our article.
SNILS is a unique insurance number of a citizen’s personal account in the pension fund database. Pension contributions that form a future pension are accrued to this account; in addition, the citizen’s work experience is recorded in the register using this number.
In addition to pension functions, this account is used for the provision of medical services (registration of compulsory medical insurance), when a person is admitted to educational institution, to receive various benefits, benefits, etc.
Because of this, it is important to obtain a pension account number in a timely manner in order to enjoy all benefits from the state.
What people can receive SNILS?
Who can receive SNILS? Who can open a personal account in a pension fund is a question of interest to many citizens. So, not only a citizen of Russia, but also a foreigner staying in the Russian Federation for work can receive an insurance pension certificate. At the same time, even a non-working Russian citizen must have a SNILS card to receive various government services.
Both the citizen himself and his employer can issue a certificate of pension insurance. Also, his authorized representatives, parents, guardians and trustees have the right to register SNILS for a person. If a child is 14 years old and still does not have a certificate, he can apply for it independently by contacting the pension fund department with a passport.
A foreigner, in addition to documents confirming his identity, will need to provide a residence permit or temporary residence permit.
Where do unemployed citizens receive SNILS?
The first thing you need to know is that if you are officially employed, then your employer should be responsible for issuing a pension certificate. He must begin processing the certificate no later than two weeks after hiring you.
If a citizen is unemployed, then you need to apply for SNILS yourself or through legal representatives at the Pension Fund.
If a parent wants to issue a SNILS for a child under 14 years of age, he can do this alone by contacting the territorial branch of the Pension Fund. From the age of 14, the child must receive the certificate in person. Just as in the case of a working citizen, for a student child SNILS can be issued by an educational organization.
Registration procedure
To register a citizen in the compulsory pension insurance system and receive SNILS, a person must contact the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at his place of residence with a passport or other identification document of the person for whom the certificate is issued.
If a citizen works, he submits an application for registration of SNILS through the employer to the personnel department, otherwise, he submits the application directly to the Pension Fund.
Then the insured person’s questionnaire is filled out. After submitting all documents, questionnaires and applications, the citizen is assigned a day to receive SNILS. On the appointed day he needs to come and pick it up. It usually takes 1-3 weeks to issue a certificate.
Documents to be received
Documents to be received To obtain SNILS you will need to provide the following documents:
- Passport or birth certificate;
- Questionnaire in form ADV-1;
- Residence permit or temporary residence permit (for a foreigner).
The questionnaire indicates:
- Last name, first name, patronymic of the citizen;
- Passport details;
- Citizenship and so on.
Registration via the Internet
We would like to immediately warn you that it is not possible to register SNILS via the Internet. Such a function is not yet available either on the website of the Pension Fund, or on State Services, or on other portals. The only thing is that you can order the registration of SNILS through various companies, for which you will issue a power of attorney to receive documents on your behalf. But this method is not the safest, and it is also expensive; on average, companies ask about 2.5 thousand rubles for this service. Therefore, we do not advise you to use such services; besides, the initial registration of SNILS in person is free.
Attention
The Pension Fund is currently developing a project for registering SNILS via the Internet, so it is possible that this will become possible in the coming years. But today, such a function does not exist.
Cost of SNILS
Like an individual taxpayer number, registration of SNILS is free. This number cannot be replaced and is given to every citizen for life. Of course, it is possible that you will have to pay for the execution of this document, if drawing up a power of attorney on your behalf for another person or organization is a paid notary service, but the certificate itself does not require payment upon execution.
SNILS - insurance number of a citizen’s individual personal account in the system compulsory pension insurance. SNILS is unique and belongs to the individual personal account only one person. All data on insurance premiums accrued and paid by the employer, as well as the insurance period throughout the citizen’s entire working life, are entered into this account, which are subsequently taken into account when assigning or recalculating a pension.
Cancellation of SNILS: rumors are exaggerated
The State Duma has adopted a law which, among other things, involves the abolition of the issuance of an insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance (SNILS) to citizens. But in fact, this innovation is not as revolutionary as it sounds.
The change, in fact, only concerns the abolition of the so-called “”. Instead, the Pension Fund will issue a document confirming registration in the individual (personalized) accounting system. Such a document will be provided to the citizen upon his request in paper or in electronic format, confirming registration in the personalized accounting system. It is this document that will need to be presented to the employer when applying for employment or when concluding a civil law contract.
Previously issued SNILS “green cards” will remain valid along with the new document.
Why do you need a SNILS number:
- at absence of SNILS it is impossible to officially get a job;
- SNILS is necessary for the correct reflection of information provided by employers (policyholders) about the earned pension rights of insured persons (accrued and paid insurance contributions to the Pension Fund), length of service (including those giving the right to early pension provision) on the personal accounts of insured persons. Since 2015, insurance premiums and work experience are reflected in the form of points on the citizen’s individual personal account in the Pension Fund;
- for correct accounting of voluntary payments to the Pension Fund.
Correct and complete reflection of data on insurance premiums, voluntary payments and length of service directly affect the size of the received or future pension.
Besides:
- Without SNILS, it is impossible to receive state and municipal services via the Internet. Registration on the government services portal is possible only if SNILS is indicated;
- when receiving a number of government services, SNILS is used to create registers of citizens entitled to government services and benefits (for example, such as receiving free medicines, including for children);
- to reduce the number of documents when receiving various government services. SNILS serves as an identifier of information about a citizen in the system of interdepartmental interaction. With his help government agencies independently request documents for the provision of public services (for example, for maternity capital).
By the way, for schoolchildren and students who work part-time during the holidays, the presence of SNILS is of particular importance, since insurers (employers) pay insurance contributions to the Pension Fund for earnings (income) and these amounts, as well as work experience, must be reflected in the personal account of the insured faces.

Errors in SNILS of employees
At the beginning of 2017, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation transferred incorrect accounting data to the Federal Tax Service of Russia: many employees in the Federal Tax Service database had incorrect SNILS. Because of this, insurance payments for the first quarter did not go through for many organizations the first time. How to fix these errors?
There are several ways to prove to tax inspectors that your employee records are correct and thus avoid fines:
- carry out a reconciliation of SNILS, TIN and full name of employees through Personal Area taxpayer on the Federal Tax Service website (for those who have it). In it, you can manually generate a request to check the data. Sign the request electronic signature and send. The answer will come within 24 hours. It can be downloaded in PDF. It will show whether the number is correct;
- send scanned copies of employees’ SNILS cards via TKS to the tax office using informal document flow.
Some organizations, in order to prove the correctness of their data, send the SZV-M and the Pension Fund of Russia protocol to the Federal Tax Service using an informal document flow. But in order to use this method of proving the correctness of the accounting data, agree with the inspection in advance.
What to do if your personal data changes or you lose your SNILS or change your last name?
If an employee’s personal data (for example, last name) changes, the policyholder is obliged to submit new information to the Pension Fund within two weeks in the form of an application for the exchange of an insurance certificate. The territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation reflects all changes in the individual personal account of the insured person and issues the latter a new insurance certificate with the same insurance number of the individual personal account.
Unemployed insured persons must submit an application to the Pension Fund authority at their place of residence.
In case of loss of the “green card” from SNILS
SNILS is provided to each citizen once and forever and is assigned only to him. But the “green card” itself can be lost. If such a problem occurs, restoring the certificate is simple:
- If you are employed, contact the HR department to request a duplicate.
- If you belong to the category of self-employed people (individual entrepreneur, lawyer, notary, etc.), contact the Russian Pension Fund at the place of your registration as an insurer with an application for a duplicate.
- Unemployed citizens must submit an application for the restoration of a “green card” to the Russian Pension Fund at the place of registration (including temporary) or actual residence.
Within a month from the date of application from a citizen or employer, a duplicate insurance certificate will be issued based on the individual personal account data.

A duplicate of SNILS can be obtained on the Pension Fund website online
If you have lost your SNILS green card, you do not have to go to the Pension Fund office. You can apply for a duplicate through your Personal Account on the Pension Fund website.
Getting a duplicate (which will be generated in PDF format), takes literally a few seconds.
To do this, you need to log into your Personal Account using the password and login from your account on the State Services portal, and select the item “Submit an application for a duplicate insurance certificate” in the “Individual personal account” section. A duplicate will be generated immediately after clicking the “Request” button. You can save the generated document to your computer or receive it on email and print if necessary.
If you want to receive a duplicate in the form of a “green card,” you will still have to contact the Pension Fund or the MFC.
Replacing SNILS when changing your last name
If a citizen has changed his passport data (last name, first name and/or patronymic), he needs to re-register SNILS. Otherwise, his pension savings may be lost. Because from the moment of changing personal data, in particular, full name, the previous certificate becomes invalid. Therefore, deductions are no longer transferred to the citizen’s personal account at the Pension Fund.
Usually in such a situation, PFR employees will, of course, try to contact the “renamed” citizen, but this is not always possible (for example, in the case where the Fund has outdated data on the citizen’s place of residence and telephone number).
In the case of hired workers, the issue is easier to resolve. The employer will receive a notification about the invalid SNILS, which will send the employee to change the certificate. True, the employer himself may have problems with the presentation of “pension” reporting.
For individual entrepreneur who has changed his first or last name, the timely replacement of SNILS is his sole concern and delaying the receipt of a new certificate is not in the interests of the individual entrepreneur.
