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 of 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 electronic form, 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. Starting from 2015, insurance premiums and work experience are reflected in the form of points on the citizen’s individual personal account with the Pension Fund of Russia;
- 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 its 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.
Attention!
Write down your SNILS in your notebook. Or take the form with you. Because you won’t recognize it anywhere on the Internet. They can tell you only at the territorial branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation using your passport.

SNILS For registering children in the system of compulsory pension insurance and obtaining an insurance certificate, parents (legal representatives) must contact the office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at their place of residence with a passport or other identification document of the child and fill out a form (for registration of children under 14 years of age, have a certificate with you about the birth of a child and the passport of one of the parents or legal representative).
For working citizens The most common way to obtain a certificate of insurance is through your employer. If there is no insurance certificate when starting a job, the employee must fill out a questionnaire for the insured person. Then, within two weeks from the moment of concluding an employment contract or work contract, the questionnaire is submitted to the Pension Fund authorities for registration of the employee in the OPS system. The territorial office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, within three weeks from the date of receipt of the insured person’s application form, opens an individual personal account and issues an insurance certificate.
The policyholder, having received insurance certificates, issues them to employees within a week.
An individual who pays insurance premiums for himself receives an insurance certificate directly from the territorial office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at his place of registration.

The territorial body of the pension fund will issue the citizen a duplicate insurance certificate online. When applying through an employer, a duplicate will be issued within 3 days.
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, INN and full name of employees through the taxpayer’s Personal Account on the Federal Tax Service website (for those who have one). In it, you can manually generate a request to check the data. Sign the request electronically and submit. 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.
Note: Download the application form for a duplicate insurance certificate
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 by email and print it 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 an individual entrepreneur who has changed his first or last name, 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.

Access to information, whether to give it for storage
If the employer violates the two-week deadline for submitting documents for such an employee, he may be brought to administrative liability under Art. 5.27 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
The procedure for transferring to a non-state pension fund is given. A comparative table of NPFs is provided.
Depending on our salary, the employer pays insurance contributions to the Pension Fund. What is their size, how can I find out how much money has already accumulated in my personal account with the Pension Fund?
The individual personal account insurance number (SNILS) is assigned to each person once and is unique. Upon registration, the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) opens your individual personal account with a permanent insurance number. This account receives all contributions paid by the employer to the insurance and funded parts of the pension. In addition, the pension insurance system contains information about your work experience, which is necessary in the future when assigning a pension.
Until April 1, 2019, a certificate of compulsory pension insurance - a green plastic card - was issued as a document confirming registration in the system. From April 1, 2019, the insurance certificate as a physical medium was abolished. Now, when registering in the individual (personalized) accounting system, the applicant will receive an electronic or paper notification containing an insurance number.
3. What documents are needed?
To receive SNILS you will need to fill out a form, indicating in it:
- information about the identity document;
- surname, first name, patronymic;
- citizenship;
- permanent residence address.
When registering a document at a Pension Fund branch or through an employer, you will not need any documents other than the application form. If you want to receive a certificate through the “My Documents” government service center, you will need to submit:
- identification document (passport; for children under 14 years of age - birth certificate);
- identification document of the legal representative (parent, adoptive parent, guardian, etc.) - for citizens under 14 years of age.
If your representative is submitting the documents, he will also need a notarized power of attorney.
4. When will I receive SNILS?
If you draw up a document through your employer, he must send your data and completed application form to the territorial office of the Pension Fund of Russia within two weeks. A notification containing SNILS will be generated within 5 days, after which it will be handed over to the employer, who, in turn, will issue it to you.
If you receive SNILS on your own, contact:
7. How long is SNILS valid and when should it be changed?
The validity period of SNILS is unlimited. The pension insurance certificate card or notice containing SNILS (in electronic form or on paper) must be changed if you have changed your last name, first name or patronymic, date of birth, place of birth or gender, or discovered an inaccuracy or error in the information specified in the document. In this case, the insurance number of the individual personal account will not change.
Please note that as of April 1, 2019, the insurance certificate has been abolished. If necessary, in return you will receive a new document - a notification in electronic or paper form. Documents issued before April 1, 2019 are valid; you do not need to contact the Pension Fund for exchange.
8. How to change a document with SNILS through an employer?
You can contact your employer with an application to exchange an insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance or a notice containing SNILS (in electronic form or on paper) in case of a change in your last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, place of birth or gender, or an inaccuracy or error is established in information specified in the document.
The employer is obliged to submit it to the territorial office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation within two weeks from the date of receipt of your application. A new sample document - a notification in electronic or paper form will be sent to your employer so that he gives it to you. The electronic notification will also be available in your personal account. Your SNILS will remain the same.
A small laminated plastic card is a document that every Russian citizen should have. It is called SNILS and indicates that the person is registered in the compulsory pension insurance system. This document contains personal data and a unique eleven-digit code, which together allow you to identify any of the participants in the system. How the insurance number is generated and how to find out the number of the pension insurance certificate will be discussed in our article.
Secret code
The SNILS number is a personal account number that is assigned to a participant in the pension system once and for life. It is to this account that employers transfer insurance contributions to the future pensioner for the entire duration of his working life. These are the same contributions to the pension fund. And they do not depend on the place of work, field of activity or position held.
The personal number is indicated on the front side of SNILS, at the top. The personal data of its owner is also indicated here.
The number itself consists of 11 digits, divided into 4 categories, which are indicated in the sequence 000-000-000 00. Of this set, the first 9 digits are the account number itself, the last two are the control verification number.
Code generation
The algorithm for generating SNILS is well thought out and allows you to accurately identify a participant in the system. The first nine digits can be anything. The last two numbers in this chain attract the most interest. Verification with their help is not intended for all accounts, but only for those that are larger than the following design 001-001-998.
The control code is generated in a rather complex way. If you are not an expert, you won’t be able to understand everything right away. But let's try anyway.
- All digits of the certificate are multiplied in turn by the serial number belonging to their position, which is counted from the end.
- The results are summed up.
- If the final figure is less than one hundred, then the control number is equal to this amount.
- If the final digit is one hundred or 101, then the check digits are 00.
- If the final number is greater than 101, then the next step is to divide it by the entire number.
The formation algorithm allows you to check the SNILS number with digit accuracy.
How to find out your SNILS personal account?
The surest way to find out the number of the pension insurance certificate from your passport is to personally visit the local branch of the pension fund. The second, less time-consuming way is to contact the personnel officer at your place of work. A copy of SNILS is kept in your personal file. The HR employee will be able to give you a copy of this document.
There is another way to see the SNILS number - registration on the Internet portal for the provision of public services http://www.gosuslugi.ru/. But there is a problem: to enter this site, you need to enter your SNILS number. Therefore, this option is only for those who have SNILS on hand.
There are no other ways to find out your SNILS personal account via the Internet, even if you have passport data. After all, the database of registered participants is stored directly in the pension fund, and not on the Internet. And this data is confidential.
Now you see that it is impossible to find out the pension insurance certificate number via the Internet. Therefore, you should not waste time surfing the Internet on this issue. It is much easier to take documents and contact the authorities.
Many people are interested in what SNILS is. Where can I change it? How to get it initially? Why is this document needed at all? All this will have to be sorted out further. After all, the subject of our conversation is included in the list of mandatory ones that every citizen of the Russian Federation should have. It is basically impossible to do without it. You will not be able to qualify for most government services. For example, to receive a pension or free medical care. So what document are we talking about? What is he? Why do you need SNILS? When and in what order should this document be replaced? More on all this below! Every citizen should know the answers to the questions posed. Otherwise he will have certain problems.
What it is
Before understanding the registration and replacement procedure, you should understand what we are talking about. SNILS is an individual insurance number. Every citizen in the country should have it.
SNILS in paper form looks like a small laminated green card. It contains information about the owner, as well as the personal account number in the compulsory pension insurance system. The combination of numbers is individual.
For what
Does a person need SNILS? Yes, and not only because the laws of the Russian Federation say so. The fact is that SNILS is an extremely important document. It appears in most transactions and government services. For example, using it you can use the following rights:
- employment (if there is no SNILS, it is mandatory for the employer to register it for the employee);
- registration of pension;
- receiving pension payments;
- appointment and acceptance of benefits and other monetary payments from the state as support for the population;
- receiving free medical care;
- registration of maternity capital;
- issuing a compulsory medical insurance policy.
Accordingly, the list does not end here. But it is already clear that we cannot do without SNILS. Most government services and social opportunities will be inaccessible to the individual. Important: the document should contain only relevant information about the citizen. Otherwise, SNILS is considered invalid.
Receipt and replacement
You should also note that recently it has been issued even for newborns. Where can I get SNILS? The same place to change it.
Speaking about specific places, it is very difficult to decide. Indeed, today citizens are given the freedom to choose where to make a particular request. There are a lot of possibilities. Where can I get SNILS? Possible organizations issuing this document include:
- Russia;
- regional FIUs;
- multifunctional centers;
- portal "Government Services";
- employer (company where the citizen works).
Where exactly should I go? Here everyone decides for himself. By the way, in Russia it is not recommended to use a shift or receive SNILS from your employer for the first time. Many simply refuse this. Nowadays, most often the population turns to the Pension Fund for help, as well as to the MFC. In these organizations, registration occurs the fastest.
Application deadlines
What deadlines must be met when replacing or initially receiving a document? In fact, there is no deadline as such. Especially if we talk about the second case.
The fact is that without SNILS you cannot even get a compulsory medical insurance policy. This means that a newborn citizen will not be able to use the services of the clinic. Therefore, you need to apply for a certificate from certain authorities as soon as possible. As practice shows, citizens are advised to register for SNILS within a month after discharge from the maternity hospital. More precisely, about 10 days after receiving the birth certificate.
This is if we talk about children. But what about the “adult” SNILS? It is clear where to change this document. But in what time frame should this be done? It is recommended not to delay the process. Approximately 30 days from the date of determination of the invalidity of the document are allotted for filing an application of the established form. There are no statutory deadlines for receiving SNILS. But after a month of delay, certain problems may arise in the Pension Fund due to changed information about the owner of the personal account. Therefore, you should not delay the process.
How long does it take to make
How long does it take for an individual’s SNILS to be produced? This question also interests many people. In fact, a lot depends on where exactly the citizen turned for help. And depending on the age category.
In general, about 14 days are allotted for the initial production of the document and its replacement. In practice, a citizen is given a period of up to 30 days, or even more. But on average you will have to wait half a month. This is if we are talking about replacing SNILS or the initial receipt for a recently born person.
But with newborns the situation is somewhat different. As a rule, they should be issued a SNILS initially and replaced (especially if errors are detected) immediately. That is, there will be no need to wait. It only takes a few minutes for the card to be produced and laminated.
How to receive a document after production
What will be required if a person should already receive SNILS? That is, the map is ready. Do you still need to bring any documents with you to prove your identity? Yes it is. But you don’t have to worry - you don’t need a large package of papers.
Citizens are asked for only one thing - any identification card. Children over 14 years of age (on their own), as well as adult citizens, can pick up SNILS on their passport from one or another authority.
What about children who do not yet have such an identity card? Firstly, their SNILS are taken by their legal representatives. Secondly, a birth certificate will serve as identification in this situation. Don't forget to present your parent's passport. This is necessary to make sure that it is the legal representative who takes the child’s SNILS.
When to change
Sooner or later there comes a time when you have to change certain documents. You can apply for SNILS in Moscow or any other city at one of the previously listed institutions. The document is replaced there. But when is it needed?
The legislation establishes the following cases:
- change of surname;
- changing the personal data of the insured person;
- loss of the previous insurance certificate;
- there is an error in the document;
- damage to SNILS.
These are the most common cases. As a rule, SNILS changes most often when a surname is changed. Mainly girls - marriage or divorce has an impact on a person’s data. Therefore, the previous SNILS is invalid from the moment the legal relationship is formalized or terminated.
For children
The first thing you should pay attention to is children. For them, the procedure for changing and initially issuing SNILS is as simple as shelling pears, if you exclude the process of writing an application in the established form. What documents does a parent need to bring with them? It all depends on the situation.
When preparing the document for the first time, the following is required:
- application (filled out in one or another body);
- birth certificate of a minor;
- parent's ID card.
Nothing more is needed. Even the presence of a newborn is not mandatory. When it comes to a citizen who is applying for SNILS for the first time after 14 years of age, the application is drawn up on behalf of the recipient. And parents are no longer needed. However, the child must present his or her passport.
But what if, for one reason or another, you need to change your SNILS? What documents are requested when it comes to children? This:
- Statement.
- Identity card (parents, if the child is under 14 years old, or the youngest citizen over this age).
- Birth certificate.
- Old SNILS (if available).
- Document basis for replacement.
For adults
If we are talking about changing the document being studied by an adult, the process is simplified. The fact is that the citizen will have to write the application on his own behalf. And in one case or another, fewer documents are needed.
Initial receipt requires:
- statements;
- ID cards (passports).
This is where the list of documents ends. Now it’s clear how to apply for SNILS. Where to change it - too. What about the documents in this situation? What papers will be required from a citizen in one case or another when receiving SNILS (people choose where to change it)? Among them are:
- former (required, unless the document is lost);
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- documents supporting the change of SNILS (usually a marriage/divorce certificate).
Of course, we should not forget about the statement. One more nuance - when changing personal information, you first need to change your identity card. And after that, apply for a change in SNILS. Receipt occurs only in person, upon presentation of a passport. In fact, the procedure for replacing the document being studied is not that difficult.
On the Internet
How else can you change SNILS? "Government Services" is a portal that will help bring your idea to life. Recently it has been in great demand. How to use this service to bring your idea to life?
The first step is to register an account. It is this process that causes the greatest difficulties. You need to contact the tax authorities or the Russian Post Office for help. They will help you get your login password. After registering an account on State Services, you will have to wait 2 weeks - after this time the profile will be activated. Only then will it be possible to take advantage of the opportunities offered.
The second step is searching for a service. In the search bar after authorization you should write “Replacement of SNILS”. In the window that appears, you need to select the appropriate line, then read the information provided and click on the “Get service” button.
The third step is filling out the application. For this you will need SNILS and a passport. No different from the paper version. Only on the State Services portal is the application filled out personally by the citizen. Required fields are marked with *.
The final stage is obtaining SNILS. An email will be sent to your account notifying you that the document is ready. The citizen must bring with him the original documents specified when filling out the application. Where to show up? The location will be indicated in the letter. Usually this is the Pension Fund. This is how you can apply for SNILS. "Government services" will help with this.
For residents of the capital
What should residents of the capital do? Many people do not know where exactly to go in Moscow to replace or initially obtain an individual insurance account. What advice can you give to such citizens?
It is possible to register SNILS in Moscow, as already mentioned, in various authorities. For example, on the Gosuslugi website. You can also contact any MFC in a particular area. Or come to the Pension Fund. It is located at the address: Moscow, Stasovaya Street, building 14, building 2. This is far from the only branch, but it is where people go most often. Now it’s clear what SNILS is. Where to change it is also not a mystery. If you approach the issue correctly, there will be no problems with replacement.
What is SNILS?
When you first get a job Pension Fund opens a special pension account for each citizen. It is intended to accumulate insurance contributions from employers throughout the entire period of employment. The account is assigned a permanent number - SNILS. The retirement account number remains unchanged throughout the person's life. To confirm that a person is registered in the Pension Fund of Russia system, he is provided with an insurance certificate - a laminated green card.
What does SNILS look like? It is an 11-digit digital combination. It is indicated at the top of the certificate.
Why is it needed? SNILS? It is used for identification in the Pension Fund insurance system. Using this number the fund can check pension accruals, arriving in the name of a citizen. In addition, SNILS is widely used in the provision of social and medical services. It allows you to quickly determine the amount of contributions made by the employer to the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, as well as the citizen’s rights to receive various types of benefits and subsidies. For example, it is requested when applying for disability benefits or an electronic card for access to government services. It is expected that in the future SNILS will become a universal document for identifying citizens in the Russian social system. It will replace the TIN, student ID, and travel documents. Today, it can be received not only by employed persons, but also by unemployed citizens, as well as children. This allows you to significantly optimize the social services delivery system. services.
Decoding SNILS– insurance number of the individual personal account.
