Law enforcement practice on the territory of the Russian Federation says that a document is easier to carefully store than lose and then painfully restore. A citizen has to go through many difficulties before he gets a duplicate and can again feel like a full member of society. Today we will tell you what to do if a person has lost the TIN, how to restore it and not spend a lot of time and effort on it.
Who issues the document
Before restoring the TIN, it is necessary to figure out which state body carries out the initial issuance of this document. According to the current legislation, this burden is placed on the Federal Tax Service. Thus, a citizen must contact the department at the place of registration. Where it is located can be specified on the official portal of the state body, because there are cities in which there is no link to the place of residence or registration, and the issuance of the TIN is carried out by a single department or central service.
Fortunately, the tax authorities are getting deeper and deeper into the Internet, and it becomes harder to make a mistake with the branch every day. Solving the issue of how to restore the TIN of an individual is easier than it seems at first glance.
When changing last name
Replacing a document is necessary not only if it is lost. Such a situation may arise, for example, in marriage. Marriage is often accompanied by a change of surname and the subsequent replacement of all documents.
Turning to the territorial office of the tax authority, you must fill out the appropriate application (2-2 Accounting) for registration with the tax authorities. A separate application form for the replacement of a certificate or for the issuance of a duplicate is not provided for by the internal office.
Among other things, before restoring the TIN, it will be necessary to pay the state fee. In 2018, it amounts to 300 rubles, but this data can change, and therefore it is recommended that this information be updated promptly before being sent to the tax office.
A copy of the marriage registration certificate and a copy of the citizen's identity document must be attached to the application and the receipt of payment of state duty.
If the document is lost
Sometimes quite simple legal questions are put in a stupor. Nevertheless, the TIN is lost; how to recover is not clear, but a document is needed. Let's figure it out together, what to do in such a situation. The law does not provide for a special procedure for obtaining a duplicate in case of loss of this document.
Many citizens are afraid to contact the tax authority because of some mythical fines. If such a misfortune happened to you, then be aware that no responsibility is provided for this act, since absent-mindedness is not an administrative offense today, and even more so a crime.
How to recover TIN in case of loss? Absolutely the same as when changing the last name:
- We find out which territorial body of the Federal Tax Service suits us;
- We find out the details for paying the state fee and pay it;
- make an appointment and come with a package of documents.
That's all, then it remains only to wait.
What's next?
At the time of application, the state body will begin the period established by law, which is set aside for the preparation of the document. It is from 5 calendar days. If the last day of the term falls on a weekend or holiday, then it is automatically transferred to the next business day.
After 5 days, you must come to the tax office and pick up your new certificate. How to restore the TIN? Pretty simple, as you can see.
Alternative methods of obtaining
Unfortunately, for some reason, the simplest procedure for restoring the TIN is not available on the State Services portal. This mystery remains unsolved for many years. Despite the fact that receiving a duplicate does not require complex identity verification or expression of will, the tax service continues to be reinsured and demand the personal presence of a citizen.
The multifunctional centers “My Documents” behave similarly. If you try to apply to the latter to restore or obtain a duplicate TIN, the citizen will be given the details of the state duty, they will advise in every way. And all the same, they will be sent to the territorial representation of the Federal Tax Service. What for? Law enforcers ignore this issue, and no one has yet managed to reach any clarifications.
Things to remember
The State Services portal does not provide the opportunity to submit an application for public services, but it opens up the possibility for a citizen to pay a state fee with a 25% discount. From 300 rubles - this is not much, but why pay more?
The second point is to fill out an application. Its shape is quite complex and extensive. It would be most reasonable not to fill it out in advance, but to do it on a special form, which will be issued at the tax office. Under the close supervision of a specialist, you will not make mistakes when filling out and save yourself from unnecessary difficulties.
Storage is easier than restoring
Despite the relative development of state bodies, obtaining any duplicates is still a great difficulty for citizens. To get a TIN, you need to get to the representative office, get a ticket, stand in line, fill out documents, pay the state fee - all this takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, it is much easier to ensure high-quality and safe storage of your own documents so that you do not have to fill out another extensive application.
