To whom is it issued?

As a rule, there is no need to think about such a question. The thing is that children do not need a TIN certificate for a normal life. But teenagers may be faced with the need to complete the appropriate documentation.

At the moment, there are several categories of children who can be issued an individual number in the tax system of the Russian Federation. Namely:

• persons under 14 years of age;
• citizens over 14 years of age.

In addition, you can request a document for both a citizen of the Russian Federation and a foreigner. The algorithm of actions in both cases will be the same. The only difference is in the package of papers submitted to the Federal Tax Service for further service.

Features of registering a TIN for a child

Until the child reaches the age of 14, the issue of obtaining and processing a tax certificate is dealt with by his representative (guardian, parent). You can issue the document immediately after birth.

To obtain a certificate, a newborn will need:

• parent's passport with a list of children and registration (+ copy);
• child's birth certificate (+ copy);
• a document confirming the registration of the baby;
• application in form 2-2-Accounting (if not submitted through the portal).

Children over 14 years old can independently obtain a TIN.

Nuances of obtaining a TIN

1. For a newborn baby. Formally, it is possible to obtain a TIN at any age, including immediately after the birth of a baby. The limitation is that first of all you need to register and collect a package of required documents, including a birth certificate. After preparing the documents for the TIN, the child can be registered in the register of taxpayers.
2. For a person under 14 years of age. If a citizen has not reached 14 years of age, then by law he is recognized as a minor. Therefore, all decisions for the child are made by the father and/or mother, or an authorized guardian. Personal presence when submitting an application and papers to the Federal Tax Service is not required. The main thing that parents must do is register. It does not matter if the residential addresses are different.
3. At the age of 14-18 years. After receiving a general passport, a person has the right to personally visit the tax authority. The passport must contain a mark indicating the place of registration. If you do not have a permanent residence permit, you must submit papers to obtain a temporary document.

Where to request?

How to get a TIN for children? This is a fairly simple operation, but it causes a lot of problems and hassle.

Where are tax registration certificates issued? At the moment, appropriate services can be obtained from:

• MFC;
• “one window” service;
• local tax authority.

The request must be submitted in the prescribed form, taking into account the place of residence of the potential applicant. Otherwise, the citizen will be denied service.

At what age can you get a TIN?

Many parents are interested in the age at which they need to obtain a TIN for their child. At the legislative level, there is no exact answer at what age a TIN should be provided to a child, since there are no mandatory requirements. Under 14 years of age, the document may not be required.

When applying for a job, the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) becomes mandatory, and in Russia children can start earning money after the age of 14.

Parents can obtain a tax identification number for their newborn child, but this is not mandatory. The solution to such an issue is voluntary, therefore even children's clinics and educational institutions cannot require the presentation of an additional document.

Remote ordering - a fairy tale or reality?

How to get a TIN for children? Some claim that people can register with the tax office remotely. Is it really?

Yes. You can only cope with such an operation using two services - “GosGosGosNalog.ru”.

To order a TIN through the State Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation - “Tax Registration”.

At this stage, active actions end. All that remains for the applicant is to pick up a certificate of the established form from the authorized body. At this moment, the citizen must have any personal identification with him.

How long will it take to issue a TIN for a child?

According to the law, from the moment an application for assignment of a TIN is received for processing by the Federal Tax Service until the issuance of a certificate, five days pass.

After five days, you can receive the final TIN.

Urgent processing

As we have already indicated above, the registration of a TIN certificate occurs in a fairly quick time - in just five days. As a rule, this period of consideration of the application suits almost all applicants, and none of them tries to urgently speed up this already short process.

However, sometimes unforeseen situations arise in life when a child needs a TIN urgently and without delay. If just such a case happened to you, and you want to receive a tax certificate for your baby as soon as possible, you have the opportunity to request emergency registration of the document from the tax service.

In this case, the TIN will be ready not in five days, as happens in ordinary cases, but in one or two days. Unfortunately, such a service is not available throughout our country, but only in some of its regions.

Is it possible to urgently issue a TIN for a child in your city? Please check with the regional office of the tax service.

Certificates for children under 14

Do you need to make a TIN for a newborn? What documents are needed to complete the task?

This category of recipients is distinguished by the fact that all actions are performed for them by legal representatives. They fill out an application for tax registration and also receive a standard form.

In any case, to implement the task you will have to prepare:

• application form for registration with the Federal Tax Service;
• passport of the child’s legal representative;
• birth certificate of a minor.

It is advisable to take copies of the listed documents with you. If the family has an adoption certificate or citizenship insert, it is recommended to take them with you as well.

Instructions for receiving

It is worth taking a closer look at how the number is obtained through various structures

Through the State Services portal

Obtaining a TIN through the State Services portal has been suspended. But we can hope that this service will again be available to all registered citizens. Now on the website it is possible to find out your TIN in real time, if one was assigned earlier. Step-by-step instruction:

• Register in advance on the portal.
• Find the general catalog of services provided and select the “Taxes and Finance” section in it.

  
  Section "Taxes and Finance" in the service catalog

• In the window that opens, click on the section “Find out your TIN”

  
  Section “Find out your TIN”

• The next step is to fill out an electronic application.

  
  Application form for TIN information

After entering all the requested passport data, you only need to wait a few seconds. If a citizen has a number, it will appear on the screen.

Through the tax office online

It is still possible to obtain a TIN using the Internet. For this purpose, you need to go to the official website of the Federal Tax Service and take the following steps:

• Select the “Individuals” section.

  
  Section “Individuals” on the Federal Tax Service website

• In the list that appears, click on the “TIN” item.
• Give consent for registration and assignment of a number.

  
  Point of registration and receipt of TIN

• Officially register on the website by entering your passport details.

  
  Form for entering personal data to obtain a TIN

• Fill out an application for receipt.

The subsequent procedure for receipt will depend on whether the applicant has an electronic signature or not. If such a citizen has not acquired one, then he will have to personally come to the Tax Service office to get the document. This should be done 15 working days after filling out the application.

If an electronic signature is available, then the necessary document can be sent to him by email in the form of a text file, which can then simply be printed. Or, as an option, the document on paper will be sent to the applicant by registered mail.

Federal Tax Service Department

Receipt occurs directly at the place of residence (not registration).

The application form can be obtained from a Tax Office employee and filled out according to the sample from the stand. Then you will need to submit an application, as well as the necessary documents and receive a receipt that the employees accepted them. As a rule, you have to wait 5 business days for the required certificate. If you need it urgently, you can call the department in advance.

MFC

The creation of multifunctional centers in the country has significantly simplified the process of obtaining many documents. The TIN certificate is no exception. Submitting an application through this structure is the easiest way to obtain the required paper. This requires a standard set of documents.

The only negative is the need to wait two to three weeks for receipt. But there are practically no queues at the MFC, and you can get a ticket there in advance via the Internet. Then the need to wait in line is completely eliminated.

Receipt procedure for newborns

Even if there is no real need for the child to obtain a TIN, it would be better for parents to take care of this issue in advance. So that in the future you don’t have to do this in a hurry.

You can get a number for a newborn through the same structures as for an adult. The only difference is that although the application is drawn up on behalf of the child, it is submitted by one of the parents or official guardians. The child himself does not need to be present.

It should be borne in mind that initially the child must obtain a Birth Certificate from the registry office and register it at the passport office, where they will issue a registration certificate. These documents will definitely be needed to assign a tax number.

Children over 14 years old

Upon reaching the age of 14, a teenager is required to obtain a TIN himself. But initially he will have to acquire a passport as a citizen of the Russian Federation. Upon reaching this age, when registering with the Tax Service, they will require not a birth certificate, but a passport with a stamp indicating permanent registration.

If there is no permanent registration on the territory of the Russian Federation, then it is possible to assign a TIN for temporary registration. But such issues are considered on an individual basis. Therefore, in such a situation, you need to contact the Federal Tax Service at your place of residence in person.

Tax registration and registration of a certificate is not a complicated procedure. It does not require any special time or money. But it is quite difficult to predict when it will be urgently needed. Therefore, it is better for parents to take care of this issue in advance.

Statements for teenagers

How can a 14-year-old teenager get a TIN? From this age, a person first encounters a civil passport. He receives the right to draw up some personal papers on his own. And the tax registration certificate is no exception.

In order for a teenager to cope with the task, he only needs to prepare a passport and a completed application form for registration with the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. A standard form can be obtained from an authorized service or downloaded from GosGosuslugi, which allows you to receive a discount of 30% of the fee.

To register here you will need to enter your email address and a password that you create yourself. • Next, in the “Individuals” tab, select “Receive”. • A form for entering personal data opens. They are entered as requested. • Data is processed within a few days - often 1-2 business days are sufficient. • After verification, you will receive an email notification that the information has been entered correctly, the application has been accepted, and the estimated dates for final production. • As soon as the number is assigned and the certificate is ready, the applicant will receive an email with information about where to pick up the document. At the appointed time, the applicant with a passport must go to the FMS office and pick up the completed certificate. Note: When filling out the application form, you can specify a convenient point for issuing the document. This may be a multifunctional center located close to the place of residence. They will also take you with your passport and other certificates mentioned above, depending on the situation.
