Find out debts by TIN

  • Find out the TIN on the Federal Tax Service website
  • Find out the TIN number on State Services

The abbreviation TIN is Taxpayer Identification Number. It is assigned not only to legal entities, but also to individuals. The TIN of an individual is 12 digits - the first four indicate the body that assigned the number, the next six indicate a specific individual in the taxpayer database, the last two act as a control number.

When assigning a number, an individual receives a certificate on a state-issued form.

The form contains the following information:

  • Full name of the taxpayer.
  • Gender and date of birth.
  • Place of birth as in the passport.
  • Date of TIN assignment.
  • The identification number itself.

The certificate is certified by a representative of the Federal Tax Service, there is a signature and seal. Each form has a unique serial number.

Unlike a passport, which can change its series and number, a TIN is assigned to an individual once and for life. This number is the taxpayer’s identifier in the Federal Tax Service database; tax deductions to the budget are tracked using it.

A certificate of assignment of a TIN will be required for official employment, registration as an individual entrepreneur, and execution of financial transactions. For example, when purchasing vehicles or real estate, information about the property is recorded in the Federal Tax Service database, and receipts are sent to the taxpayer about the need to pay property tax for individuals.

A little about the TIN and why a search for a person is most often carried out using the TIN

Individual tax number is a number code that allows you to identify a citizen or organization as a taxpayer.

  • The TIN, like passport data, is unique and is assigned only to one person. Unlike a passport, which does change periodically, a TIN is assigned once for life. If the certificate is lost, the citizen has the right to receive a duplicate, but the number will remain the same.
  • If the case concerns an organization or individual entrepreneur, the tax number is retained by the legal entity or entrepreneur for the entire existence of the business entity. It is canceled and archived upon liquidation of the company or closure of the individual entrepreneur.

Here it is important for us to note that the TIN is a tax identifier. Accordingly, you can use it to find out information related to tax assessments.

At what address is the individual entrepreneur registered?

Entrepreneurs are registered at their place of residence; the applicant indicates this address in form P21001. Place of residence means an apartment, room or residential building where a person lives as an owner, tenant or on other legal grounds.

If a foreigner who does not have a permanent place of residence in the Russian Federation receives the status of an individual entrepreneur, he indicates in the application his place of residence, that is, his temporary registration address. You cannot indicate for registration the location of an office or production facility, that is, non-residential premises.

How to find out TIN

The TIN of individuals and legal entities has its own specifics in terms of openness of information.

  • TIN of individuals refers to personal information. To obtain it, you must have the consent of the person to process personal data (Law “On the Protection of Personal Data No. 152-FZ”) or serious circumstances for the search. To find out a person’s TIN, you need to know his last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth and, for clarification, region. It is not possible to find out a person’s TIN by last name alone.
  • It is easier to find out the TIN of a legal entity and individual entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial practice in Russia involves checking counterparties for reliability. This means that before signing an agreement with an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, you can request from him (or the Federal Tax Service) the necessary information about taxes, etc. This information is not classified, since each user (entrepreneur, company representative, candidate for a vacant position) has the right to check a potential partner or employer for the legality of the business and responsible financial solvency. If this is your case, you can start writing official requests to government agencies or use the contractor verification service.


The main myth about searching by TIN. Since the TIN has a clear link to a specific person (we are talking about an individual), many believe that you can find anything using the TIN. This is wrong.

How to use the service

Instructions for using the tax determination service at the address

  1. Sequentially select the required address and the service will show the code of the tax office that services it. A link to the official website with detailed information about this branch will also be provided.

In total, there are more than a thousand Federal Tax Service and Federal Tax Service Inspections in the Russian Federation, among which there are interregional ones for federal districts, for the largest taxpayers, for data processing, for pricing, for office data, as well as Federal Tax Service Offices for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Our website has developed a special service, thanks to which you can find out the code and details of the tax office you need. To find out the tax code at the taxpayer’s address, you need to perform two simple operations, the procedure for which we will consider below.

The most popular search attempts by TIN

  • Find a person by TIN;
  • How to find out a person's full name by TIN?
  • How to find a person's address by TIN?
  • Is it possible to find a person by TIN, where he is actually located?
  • Does the person have debts and fines?
  • What real and movable property does a person own?
  • Find a person’s TIN by last name (we already said above that this is impossible, except when the person is an individual entrepreneur).

Let us repeat once again: all these requests do not make sense, because... You won't find the information you need using your TIN.

  • You will not be able to find a person by TIN, but knowing his TIN, you will be able to draw conclusions about where he received it, where he is from (since the first two digits of the TIN are the number identifier of the administrative-territorial unit (region) where it was issued certificate of assignment of TIN).
  • You will not be able to find out a person’s full name by TIN. On the contrary, the TIN number itself can be found out by having the person’s last name, first name and patronymic, as well as his passport details. Those. The rule works here: you can find out a person’s TIN by his passport data and full name, but you cannot find out a person’s TIN by his last name.
  • And even more so, it is impossible to address a person by TIN and the place where he is actually located.

Not at the place of registration

What should I do if I am in another city? Obtaining a certificate in any subject of Russia, regardless of the place of permanent registration, has become possible since 2012, when the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation published the corresponding order dated June 29, 2012.

If a person wants to get a TIN , but does not live where he is registered, for example, in another city, he has the right to contact any Tax Inspectorate at the place of residence without registration in this region. How to apply for a TIN via the Internet - read here.

What can you find out from the TIN?

It is impossible to find a person by TIN, but the questions “does the person have debts and fines?” and “what movable and immovable property does a person own?” They sound more realistic.

Here you will need to take several steps.

  • By last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth and region, we find a person’s Taxpayer Identification Number in Russia.
  • Based on the TIN, we see what tax accruals he has (here you will need to use the TIN to run the person through the GIS GIMP databases). As a rule, these are taxes on a car, apartment, etc. From here we can draw conclusions about a person’s financial status.
  • To find out the debts of an individual, we do not need a TIN, but his last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth and region. Debts can be found out by identifying a person in the FSSP (Federal Bailiff Service) database. If debts are accumulated on a particularly large scale, they are transferred to the department of bailiffs, who can apply compulsory measures to collect debts. Another way to find out about a person’s finances is to look him up in the BKI database and find out his credit rating . If it is low, then we can conclude that the person’s financial health leaves much to be desired.

Decoration for a child

The application procedure for a child under 14 years of age is identical. It is worth noting that only parents and guardians, that is, legal representatives, can prepare the document. Persons over 14 years of age can issue a TIN registration document in person and without the participation of parents or guardians.

It is important to remember that when filling out the fields of the application, you must indicate the details of the child, not his parent.

Does a child need a TIN?

Drawing up a TIN registration document may be useful for a child in some cases:

  • When transferring an inheritance to a child under 14 years of age.
  • Purchasing and registering a vehicle or real estate in the child’s name.
  • When employing a minor child.
  • If a child wants to open his own business.


A TIN is required for a minor if he is engaged in trading activities and makes profit from it.
Minor artists and athletes also need an individual tax number, because their fees are also considered income and must be taxed. Moreover, an individual number can be requested by the kindergarten or educational institution where the child wants to enroll.

It is important to note that no institution can require a child to have a TIN. By and large, the child will need this document when applying for a job. Under 14 years of age, an individual taxpayer number is not required.

Ways to collect information about a person in Russia: by TIN and passport

The reasons for collecting information about an individual can be different: from checking candidates before hiring, searching for alimony evader, and ending with a private search for a missing person in Russia. You have a person’s TIN or passport data, and you want to collect all possible information about him. Where to go, what resources can I use?

Among the legal ways to search for a person in Russia are:

  • Personal appeal to the police department. This is the most radical method and it requires serious reasons, otherwise the police simply will not accept the application. That is, in principle, you can find a person by TIN with the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this requires appropriate circumstances.
  • Contact the tax office. To obtain information from the Federal Tax Service, you need to submit an official request, in which you must also indicate the reasons. If they turn out to be insufficiently significant, obtaining information will be denied in accordance with Law No. 152-FZ.
  • Collecting information from official online sources. The most useful government databases that contain information about individuals are the Federal Tax Service, FSSP, Ministry of Internal Affairs, GIS GMP, BKI. When collecting information, an important factor is whether the person of interest is an entrepreneur. If you go to the Federal Tax Service website to obtain information about individual entrepreneurs, you will be provided with such information without any problems. No information will be given about an individual without his personal consent, as this is illegal.

A small but important nuance. Even if you have a serious reason or permission to process personal data on the basis of which you want to obtain information about a person online, you will have to register on each of the official sites and make a separate request for specific information on each resource.

Submitting an application and required documents

As described above, issuing a TIN is a fairly easy procedure, because it does not require collecting a voluminous package of documentation. To submit an application, you only need to have the original and a copy of your identity document (passport).

The individual number itself is stored in the register, and the citizen is issued a document that indicates that the person has been issued a TIN.


You can obtain an individual taxpayer number in the following ways:

  • visit the Federal Tax Service office yourself;
  • through representatives;
  • through the Internet;
  • via physical mail.

Let's take a closer look at the procedure for obtaining a TIN online. This procedure is carried out through the official website of the Federal Tax Service.

Who might need an IP address and why?

The need to find out the location of an individual entrepreneur may arise from both an organization and a citizen. Most often this is due to the filing of a claim or statement of claim.

Even if the counterparty of a legal entity is an individual entrepreneur, in case of violation of any contractual obligations, it is necessary to follow the pre-trial procedure for resolving the dispute. To do this, you need to send a claim to the entrepreneur. If he has not fulfilled the conditions set out in it, he can go to court. In this case, a copy of the statement of claim must also be sent to the defendant’s address by registered mail. A receipt of service is attached to the claim to certify that the defendant has been properly notified of the proceeding.

An individual can also send a claim to an individual entrepreneur when providing poor-quality services or selling defective goods. But it is not necessary for him to comply with the pre-trial procedure; the citizen has the right to immediately file a claim, also sending a copy to the defendant.

You can find out the following information about a person

  • Whether or not a person’s passport is listed in the database of invalid passports of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
  • Whether he is wanted or not;
  • What is his credit rating;
  • Is the car pledged?
  • Availability of enforcement proceedings,
  • Registration as a manager/founder of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity;
  • Tax charges;
  • Traffic police fines (according to VU);
  • Whether or not he is known to be involved in terrorism/extremism.

Don’t take risks, don’t contact scammers who offer you access to databases and promise to find a person by TIN (especially to find a person’s address by TIN). Such resources are often a platform for the distribution of virus programs. The CheckPerson verification service officially cooperates with government sources, complies with the law and the rights of network users. If you need to verify a person, CheckPerson is the best solution.

OKTMO replaces OKATO

Payment documents must indicate the code. Before the introduction of OKTMO, the OKATO code (all-Russian classifier of administrative-territorial division objects) was used for the same purposes. Its disadvantage is that it does not indicate the city, urban area or village in which the enterprise is located. OKTMO clarifies this information. The main difference between the codes is the division principle. OKATO depends on the subject of the Russian Federation, and OKTMO depends on the municipality.

Until 2021, specifying the OKATO code instead of OKTMO was acceptable. Now the transition period is over, and incorrectly filling in the details will lead to sanctions. Payments using incorrect details fall into the “unclarified” category and slow down the redistribution of funds between budgets. If you indicated incorrect details, then submit an application to clarify the payment to the Federal Tax Service, Social Insurance Fund or Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, depending on the damaged document. Based on the application, government agencies will decide to clarify the payment and write off accrued penalties.
