Where to get it?
To begin with, it should be noted that the most correct and complete name of this paper is as follows - “Certificate of non-registration as unemployed and non-receipt of unemployment benefits.” Today, the list of places where such paper can be issued is quite limited. Moreover, there is absolutely no opportunity to get it online .
So, you can apply for such a document to one of the following departments:
- Employment center.
- District Department of Social Protection of the Population (former SOBES).
Employment Center
The main body issuing certificates of non-payment of unemployment benefits is the employment center. This department is one of the divisions of the State Employment Service.
The competence of this department includes promoting the employment of citizens, registering the unemployed and providing assistance in finding suitable vacancies, and protecting against labor migration.
In order to receive help, you need to follow these simple steps :
- collect the necessary documents;
- appear in person at the employment center at your place of residence;
- provide the necessary papers;
- wait for the certificate to be prepared (usually this takes no more than 4 days).
Social security
In practice, there is also another scheme for obtaining a certificate of absence of unemployment payments . So, in most cases, such a document is required to be submitted to the Social Security Service (SSPS) in order to receive certain government payments. However, a citizen has every right not to do this.
This is written in paragraphs. 2 p. 1 art. 7 Federal Law of the Russian Federation dated July 27, 2010 No. 210-FZ, according to which institutions providing public services do not have the right to require the applicant to provide documents that are at the disposal of other bodies (in this case, the Employment Center). A citizen can do this only at his own request.
Thus, in the absence of a certificate of non-receipt of unemployment benefits, specialists of the Social Protection Service will independently request this document as part of interdepartmental interaction. In this case, a corresponding request will be sent to the Employment Center, the response to which must be received no later than 5 days (clause 3 of article 7.2 of the above-mentioned Law of the Russian Federation).
Additionally, it should be noted that you can order a certificate of non-receipt of social payments from the USZN . The procedure for issuing this document is different in each region. For example, in Moscow you can obtain such a certificate by submitting an appropriate application to the MFC. After one working day it will be ready.
In most cases, a certificate of non-receipt of social benefits is issued upon a personal visit to the Social Insurance Fund. It will be possible to pick it up at the MFC only if such a procedure is established in a specific subject of the Russian Federation. However, such a scheme is quite rare.
It should be remembered that unemployment benefits are paid not at the USZN, but at the employment center. In this regard, a certificate of non-receipt of social benefits will not be suitable in this case.
Do State Services and MFC issue them?
Some citizens attempt to obtain a certificate through the government services portal or by resorting to the help of the MFC. However, it should be noted that today it is not possible to obtain such a service using these methods.
Such documents are issued only through a personal visit to the relevant department .
Also on our website there is information about unemployment benefits for pregnant women, orphans, disabled people, pensioners, after maternity leave, as well as for workers who quit of their own free will, by agreement of the parties, during the liquidation of an enterprise and when staffing is reduced.
Where can I get an income certificate if you are not officially working?
The official absence of work does not always mean its real absence. Perhaps you work somewhere without registration for one reason or another. If you need a certificate of income to obtain a loan from a bank, this problem may be able to be solved.
Most banks in Russia, including the largest and closest to the state - Sberbank - allow you to confirm income not with the help of an official 2-NDFL certificate, but with a certificate in the bank’s form. Credit institutions are well aware of the peculiarities of the Russian economy, where many people working in the private sector are either not employed at all, or are formally employed at the minimum wage, although in reality they receive wages at the level of the labor market.
What is it for?
A certificate of non-receipt of unemployment benefits may be required in a variety of cases. They are mainly associated with the registration of any social benefits. Moreover, such a document is primarily required for people who do not officially work anywhere. So, for clarity, we can give examples of some of the most common situations in which the need for such paper arises:
- when applying for subsidies for housing and communal services;
- to receive a lump sum payment made at the birth of a child;
- to receive regional assessments for a minor;
- when applying for a monthly child benefit paid until the child reaches 1.5 years of age;
- to credit monthly compensation in favor of an able-bodied citizen who cares for a disabled person or an elderly person in need of such care, or if his age is 80 years;
- to receive other social benefits provided by the state.
A certificate of absence of unemployment benefits can be obtained by both citizens of the Russian Federation and foreigners or people without any citizenship. Moreover, it is issued completely free of charge. The most important thing is to bring the necessary documents.
Where can I get an income certificate if I haven’t worked recently?
A person may not work and not be on the labor exchange even in such a basic situation as changing jobs and looking for a new place to work. If a person can afford to sit at home for a while, relax and find a good job, then why not.
A certificate of income, and in form 2-NDFL, in such cases you can get a job at your old place. Of course, provided that official employment was registered there.
The only thing you need to remember is the period that interests the bank or any government agency that asks you for a certificate. It is clear that no one is interested in your income that you received from the job you quit two or three years ago. But if very little time has passed since your dismissal, it is likely that such a certificate will suit you.
Procedure for filling out documents
So, in order to issue a certificate of non-receipt of unemployment benefits, the applicant needs to prepare only two documents :
- ID card (passport);
- completed application (a sample can be obtained from the employment center).
It should be borne in mind that a passport in a foreign language must be translated into Russian . In this case, the authenticity of such a translation must be certified by a notary.
An application for such a certificate can be filled out in advance at home or by visiting the Employment Center. In this case, it can be written by hand or typed on a computer.

- In the center of the paper you need to write the name of the application - it usually looks like this: “Application for the issuance of a certificate of lack of registration as unemployed and non-receipt of unemployment benefits.”
- Text of the appeal - this part of the application expresses a request for the issuance of a certificate confirming the absence of any unemployment payments.

How to get a certificate of absence of COVID-19
The place where you apply for the document depends on the employee’s well-being:
There are symptoms of ARVI | There are no symptoms of ARVI |
Rospotrebnadzor has prohibited private laboratories from conducting tests, so they are carried out only by state medical institutions in the following areas:
| Allowed to go to a private clinic |
Testing is free | Testing is paid, it is possible that the employer will compensate the employee’s expenses |
In any case, the applicant will be asked to present a passport, a swab will be taken from the oral cavity and nasopharynx and sent for PCR analysis, the result of which will be reflected in the certificate.
Contents and main points
The current legislation does not have an officially approved application form for non-receipt of unemployment benefits. At the same time, the Employment Center issues such a document according to a single template, which includes the following main points:
- The “header” of the certificate is placed in the upper right corner of the A4 paper, where the full name of the government body, its address and contact telephone number are written.
- Registration data - here the number and date of registration of the certificate in the outgoing correspondence of the department is indicated.
- Title of the paper – usually the word “Help” is written in the center of the sheet.
- Content part - here the applicant’s full name, date of birth and address are first written down, and then it is indicated that he was not registered as unemployed and did not receive the corresponding benefit.
The completed certificate of non-receipt of unemployment benefits is signed, the date of preparation is indicated, and the official seal of the employment center is affixed.
In conclusion, it should be noted that to obtain such a document you must contact the employment center at the place of registration. If the applicant moved to another region and did not register in the new place, then to obtain such a certificate he will have to return to his hometown.
The legislative framework
Since the certificate is issued by employers, HR officers and accountants will be interested in the following regulations:
- Law of the Russian Federation No. 1032-1 of April 19, 1991, it approved the procedure for calculating the amount of payment. And the need to focus on average earnings over the last three months when calculating it is mentioned in Articles 30 and 33.
- Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation No. 62 of August 12, 2003, which determines how to calculate and confirm the required amount.
- Letter of the Ministry of Labor dated January 10, 2019 No. 16-5/B-5, which presents a sample certificate for the employment service 2021. Although this form is not unified, but recommended, it is convenient for both employers and employees of the employment center. But if the employee confirms the average income for the last three months in free form, they cannot refuse to register for unemployment and assign him a benefit higher than the minimum.
