Personal visit
Although obtaining a paper certificate is not mandatory for citizens, it may still be required in various life situations, for example, during employment. The TIN is issued by the territorial inspectorate at the person’s place of residence. To receive one, you need to fill out an application and present your passport. A child under 14 years of age is issued a document based on an application from one of the parents, to which copies are attached:
- parent's passport;
- baby's birth certificate;
- certificate of registration at the place of residence.
Five days after registration of the application, the document is issued in person. But it is much faster and easier to order a TIN from the tax office online.
What will you need?
What will you need? Prepare only a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Please note that every person over 14 years of age must independently obtain a code.

Please note that registration must be included in your passport. If this is not the case, you will have to provide an additional document. You will also have to take with you a document that would explain the change of name, if there was such a procedure.
Advice! If you want to issue a code to a child who is under 14 years old, then to do this, arm yourself with a document confirming the legality of the representative, and you will also need a birth certificate.
Since 2012, every citizen has the right to receive a TIN according to a simplified version at the location:
- registration;
- residence in the absence of permanent registration (for example, a foreign citizen);
- real estate registration;
- registration of a vehicle in the absence of a place of registration.

To prevent the code on paper from being lost or spoiled, you can simply put the payer’s number in the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. To do this, you need to contact any branch of the Federal Tax Service and present documents. This opportunity has become available in 2021.
The mark is made in the form of a black stamp on page 18-19 of the passport, at the top. If there is not enough space there, then below. It states:
- taxpayer number;
- Date of entry;
- signature of the official.
