How long does it take to make a certificate?
According to the rules, the time allotted for preparing a document is no more than a month. If a person independently applies to the Pension Fund of Russia, the SNILS is prepared within 14 days. When documents are submitted on behalf of an employer or educational institution, another 7 days are added to the due date.
After employment, the administration of the enterprise, within 2 weeks, forwards the documents to the fund for the employee for the production of a certificate. Although the deadline is not clearly established at the legislative level, and if the papers are not forwarded to the Pension Fund, then the official is not obliged to bear responsibility.
If the employer does not send a package of documents, then liability arises according to labor law. Penalties will be applied to the administration of the enterprise.
SNILS may not be needed for a long time, but for the citizen to have the document is an important circumstance.
There is no need to pay the state duty to the state for the production of SNILS. Re-issuance of the document is necessary if the information from the application form is changed.
SNILS in the fund
Citizens are offered more than one way to obtain a document. The first of them is to contact the pension fund at your place of residence. This is a quick way to receive and will not take time. Everything is fine in the Pension Fund. If a citizen fills out the form, then a SNILS is issued on the same day. Other resources have other information, but such information can only be found on the structure’s website. You need to collect a package of documents and go to the Pension Fund to receive it.
List of documents for obtaining SNILS:
- Citizen ID or passport.
- Certificates confirming the birth of children if they are under 14 years of age.
- Personal information from a citizen.
- An employment agreement or employment contract with an employer.
To save time, you can fill out the form earlier. The forms are posted on a special website.
If the last name or initials have been changed, then an online replacement of the document is expected. This procedure took a lot of time previously.
Differences in documents for a teenager and a newborn
Significant differences in the procedure and package of papers:
Who fills out and submits the application | Up to 14 years old | After 14 years |
Parents or guardians | The child himself | |
Basic Identity Verification | Birth certificate | Passport |
What else do you need? | Applicant's ID | Nothing |
How to get a birth certificate
To do this, you should contact the registry office; one of the parents or guardian can do this. It is advisable to make an appointment by telephone ahead of time. On site, you must fill out an application using the following sample:
You should have a certificate from the maternity hospital and a passport with you. On this day, it is also important to decide on a surname (it is allowed to take it not only from the father, but also from the mother), first name and patronymic.
Receiving in the center
The centers are located throughout the Russian Federation, and the list of services is ambiguous. It is possible to obtain a pension certificate through this organization. It's comfortable. The document will not be issued immediately; it will take time to process it. The MFC in this case is an intermediary of the Pension Fund. Within 5 days, the document will be completed and issued upon request. The employer has the same deadlines for issuing SNILS.
Receiving algorithm:
- Approach the MFC with your ID (passport).
- Fill out your personal information on the form.
- The notification will be sent to the address in 5 days.
If the document was lost, then the recovery conditions will be approximately the same. The only difference will be in filling out the form. If it is necessary to issue a certificate for a child, you must additionally present a birth certificate. All birth data is transmitted from the registry office.
Last name change
It is necessary to replace the document with a new one when changing your last name. It is necessary to take into account some subtleties of the circumstances.
List of nuances:
- Replacement period. After marriage, representatives of the fair sex are required to replace the document. The deadlines are the same as for changing your passport. The time allotted is no more than one month. The size is determined at the state level. If your passport is replaced, then SNILS changes within 2 weeks. No penalties are imposed. There is no need to delay this procedure. Production may take different times, it all depends on the load of the fund.
- Conditions. The package of documents must be initially prepared. The application must be written in advance. The contact person has the right to replace the ID. There are grounds for replacing the document. When replacing a passport, it is necessary to replace the SNILS, since the last document is filled out on the basis of the first.
- Design algorithm. The selected method interprets the sequence of document replacement.
- Imposition of a fine. No fine will be imposed.
When is SNILS replaced?
You need to apply for a new pension certificate in the following cases:
- If a citizen has changed his passport data (last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, gender);
It does not matter what caused the change of personal data in the passport: marriage or personal desire.
What happens if you don’t change SNILS? If you do not change your changed passport data in time, your employer may pay insurance contributions to the pension fund using the wrong data. As a result, despite the unchanged personal account number, insurance premiums will be “lost” somewhere in the unknown.
- If a citizen loses his previous pension certificate;
- If a citizen’s SNILS is stolen;
- If the old SNILS becomes unusable;
The degree of unsuitability can be determined by how readable the SNILS will be, whether all the information will be visible, etc.
The production time for SNILS does not depend on the reason for receiving a new document/duplicate document. Despite the change in personal data, the SNILS number will not be changed.

If SNILS is lost
The insurance number in the PFR insurance system is individual for each citizen and therefore cannot be transferred to another person. The number is written on a plastic card issued by the foundation. If the certificate has been lost, you need to obtain a duplicate. This must be done.
When filing a statement with the police about a lost ID, you do not need to wait for it to be found. The best solution would be to contact the Pension Fund.
Ways to contact us regarding loss:
- Approach the Pension Fund with identification documents.
- Write an application addressed to the employer.
- Contact the MFC.
There is time to restore a document - one month, the report is kept from the day it was lost.
When a document is lost by a child under fourteen years of age, a claim about the loss is filed by his parents. If a child is older than this age, then he can apply independently in any way, as long as he has his passport with him.
How long does it take to issue SNILS?
It all depends on how you submit your application. If you directly contact the pension fund, you will need to wait several days until the reception (they will call you on the specified day and time), and then 2-3 working days, during which the paper is processed. Sometimes, when the load on the organ is low and there are no queues, an extract is made immediately at the time of application within 10-15 minutes.
If you apply through the MFC, you will need to wait 1-2 days longer, since interdepartmental interaction requires time.
According to the law, the period for producing a card (previously) or providing a certificate of number assignment (now) should not exceed two weeks.
Registration of a new certificate
A new SNILS is issued in the following stages:
- You must take your passport when applying to the Pension Fund or the MFC. Fill out the provided application form. The document must be of the established format. After 2 or 3 weeks, the certificate will be prepared and issued.
- If the request is sent through the employer, then you must fill out an application for a duplicate. The application form is submitted by the enterprise administration. The employer, in turn, sends the employee’s application to the Pension Fund. After receiving the document, the latter must be issued to the employee within a week.
No need to worry about losing your SNILS. The number is assigned to the citizen for the rest of his life. If the document is lost, the fund will issue a duplicate SNILS. The procedure is free.
Where can I get SNILS for a child, what documents do I need to provide to receive it?
The result will be the same everywhere. The only difference is in the method of receiving it: the application can be filled out by hand or online. Everyone chooses what is more convenient for them.
In the pension fund
The benefit of personally contacting the Pension Fund is the maximum speed of receiving the service without intermediaries. Thanks to electronic booking of an appointment, there is no need to wait in live queues. Choose the branch closest to your place of residence. You should go to the official website, select your region of residence (stay), and then go to the “Contact” tab. The location and telephone number of the nearest pension fund office will be indicated here.
In the maternity hospital
Some medical institutions enter into agreements with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and receive the authority to redirect documents. This should be known in advance at the place where the child is to be born. However, there is one caveat - you will first need to obtain a birth certificate. And since all this takes time, by the time the SNILS is prepared, the newborn is in most cases already at home.
Through the government services portal
Here you are asked to order a certificate confirming that the child has been assigned an individual number. To do this you will need to take a few simple steps.
- Go through the registration procedure on the site.
- Confirm your entry by showing your documentation in .
- Enter information about your newborn baby into your personal account, including the series and number of the birth certificate.
There is no way to order SNILS on the State Services portal itself; there is only detailed information on how to do this. But registered citizens can go to the pension fund website using their account via gosuslugi.ru. And here you should go to the personal account section and select the “order a duplicate insurance certificate” command.
At the MFC
Multifunctional centers are located in all regions and in most settlements. They are designed for convenient communication of citizens with other departments. MFC employees will help with drawing up the application and accept documents. The advantage is the convenient work schedule - it is non-standard, most branches are open on Saturdays or until the evening. The downside is the slightly longer service life.
Purpose
The document is needed in all areas. Purpose of SNILS:
- When applying for a job. The administration of the enterprise transfers funds monthly in favor of the employee. The funds are in the account assigned to the employee. Information about the insurance period is stored in the same account.
- When registering on the portal. This document will help identify the citizen. Information is displayed at the request of the registered person.
- If you need to apply for social security benefits.
- When taking into account a citizen’s insurance experience.
- While maintaining information about citizens’ contributions made to the Pension Fund.
- To determine personal data.
- When receiving government services.
- When receiving maternity capital at the birth of the second baby.
- Participation in government programs.
Registration of SNILS for a child
A certificate is also required for the child. It may be needed when receiving social benefits from the state. SNILS will help you get free medicines to treat a child under three years of age. This document also allows you to receive highly specialized medical care in municipal institutions.
The number may be needed for registration on the State Services website and when issuing an electronic card. How much SNILS is issued per child also depends on the institution in which this document is issued.
When registering, the following documents are presented:
- Birth certificate.
- Parents' passport.
- A completed application form certified by one of the parents.
A child can independently register a SNILS at their place of residence. The questionnaire will be checked for correctness and converted into electronic form. After checking and processing the information, a personal account is assigned and a certificate is issued. Submitting incorrect information may result in denial of registration.
About decryption
In the compulsory insurance system, registration of SNILS is required. Each certificate has a number. The latter is unique and belongs to only one person. The account contains information about the length of service and how deductions are made.
The card is kept by the citizen and contains the following information:
- A number consisting of 11 digits.
- Full surname and initials of the owner.
- Date and year of birth.
- What gender?
- Registration number.
Why and who needs it
An insurance number is assigned to a citizen participating in the compulsory pension insurance system (MPI).
This ensures that every Russian receives a pension and provides other social support measures. Previously, a person received a laminated card only from the moment he started working. Then the order changed: at birth, the baby is assigned its own unique number, consisting of 11 digits. It cannot be changed; it is issued once for life. Initially, the “green card” had a format of 11.5 by 8 cm and was laminated. But from April 1, 2021, there have been changes in legislation, and the Pension Fund no longer issues plastic. Instead, the applicant receives a piece of paper with a stamp and identification number (the document cannot be laminated). For safety, they can put it in a multifora at the Pension Fund of Russia. The number is entered into a single database, so if the card is lost, it can be easily restored.
It would seem, why does a newborn need to record his pension rights? But the fact is that a child needs SNILS to apply for benefits, as well as to create and receive an account on the government services portal. Mother ID is required for maternity capital. In addition, in some areas - for example, in the film industry - children can work before they reach 14 years of age, and a pension number is required to register an employment relationship. The employer will make deductions according to it, and in the future it will be possible to track the length of service.
The Pension Fund has much more responsibilities than calculating pensions for pensioners. The body is responsible for various social transfers and monetary relations between the state and its citizens. So, you need to make a SNILS number for your child to receive various payments and benefits, including:
- payment for stay and treatment in sanatoriums, boarding houses for medical reasons, holidays in camps - for certain categories of citizens, for example, children from large families;
- free travel – the benefit is valid in some regions;
- survivor's benefit;
- disability pension;
- medications provided free of charge;
- maternal capital;
- payment for birth or adoption up to 3 years, etc.
Thus, for the first time, parents will be asked to provide their baby’s card when registering at a children’s clinic, and then at social security, kindergarten and school. Although, according to current legislation, SNILS is not included in the list of documents required to register a place for a child in an educational institution.
Citizen account number
A unique account is valid throughout the citizen’s life. What does it mean:
- The first digits, there are nine of them in total, mean the number in order.
- The last two digits are calculated in a different order.
- To make it easier to read, they were divided into three groups; the control number is written separately.
The personal account number should not contain three or more digits at the same time. A license plate may have more than one combination; this is sufficient for all insured persons.
Rules for registering SNILS
To correctly issue an insurance number, you must submit an application indicating the following information:
- Personal Information.
- Insurance number of the personal account.
- Information about place and date of birth.
When applying for the first place of work, the certificate is issued with the help of the employer. Employment involves filling out an application form, which is sent to the pension fund within two weeks. This organization carries out data registration.
Who can get a certificate
SNILS can be obtained not only by citizens of the Russian Federation, but also by foreigners employed in Russia. If a citizen of the Russian Federation is listed as unemployed, then he must also have a card.
To obtain a certificate, a citizen needs to write an application to the Pension Fund directly or through an employer.
The foreigner is required to present a residence permit.
If a person is not officially employed, then SNILS can be applied for himself or through a pension fund.
Receipt procedure:
- When applying for a job or service, the administration of the organizational structure is obliged to provide personal information about the employee to the Pension Fund in order to transfer monthly contributions to a personal account. An account number is required, so SNILS must be available. It takes approximately 21 days to complete and issue the document.
- Anyone can independently obtain the document by directly contacting the Pension Fund.
Features of the document
In addition to receiving a certificate, you can replace it or issue a duplicate of SNILS if it is lost. This document stores the following information:
- Personal information – full name and date of birth.
- Work experience period.
- Pension experience, which is a fixation of the duration of contributions for a pension.
Deductions are noted for both officially working citizens and individual entrepreneurs. SNILS looks like a laminated plastic card, which contains personal data and personal account number.
When applying for a job, you must present SNILS, to whose personal account the employer transfers certain amounts from your salary. This allows you to create pension investments.
About the advantages of receiving SNILS for children
Obtaining a document for a minor is an optional procedure, but it has advantages:
- Providing access to benefit programs, they are unique. If a child has an account, he automatically becomes a participant in various bonus programs.
- Online registration is instant. No need to queue.
- Registration for school or other children's educational institution. Access to relevant literature and compensation for food are provided.
