TIN is a taxpayer identification number that is assigned to an individual, organization or individual entrepreneur. In paper form, the numerical code is indicated in the certificate, which is issued upon application. TIN is required to pay taxes, file returns and perform other transactions as a taxpayer. We will tell you in the article how to find out the registration number of an individual.

By TIN

How to find out a person’s registration if you have information about his TIN number? You can recognize a person by their passport details in the same way as you can recognize the authenticity of a document. Data is entered into the appropriate fields, the number of which will provide information about the TIN.

You can find out your registration by TIN indirectly; this is done like this: Using the tax certificate number, you can find out whether a citizen has debts. If there are any, it is not difficult to find out a person’s registration using passport information - you need to select the option to pay off the debt, and when you issue a receipt, the home address will be displayed.

Extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate

This information has a partially open status and can be provided to a certain circle of people, provided they have a passport and a completed written application.

Third parties who have nothing to do with a specific property do not have the right to receive an extract from the Register about the composition of citizens registered at a specific address, only when they receive official permission from one of the residents, the owner of the property or a representative of the municipality, if the apartment belongs to a government agency.

The permission is issued in the form of a notarized power of attorney.

Having such a power of attorney with an apostille or registration papers or certificates of ownership of the apartment, you can contact the registrar to obtain a certificate. For private houses, an archival extract from the house register is provided.

To do this you must provide:

• identification:
• title documents for real estate;
• power of attorney (if the request is submitted by a third party);
• application form No. 11;
• original house register (for the private sector).

To complete a request, the full name and region of registration of the person you are looking for is sufficient. To increase the likelihood of a successful search, entering the month and day will help you find the person faster.

By name and phone number

It is not always possible to find a person’s place of residence using passport details, because not everyone has the opportunity to find out the data in the documents. Sometimes it is enough to know the phone number and full name of the person you are looking for (find a person by last name).

It is almost impossible to identify a person by name without knowing other data; you need to collect more information.

By phone number, you can find out the place of residence of a person, using numerous telephone directories for the Russian Federation and cities. Another convenient way to search for a person is through social networks and online search engines (the so-called search for a person via the Internet). Of course, it’s not easy to find out a person’s registration on social networks. No one usually writes the exact address, but collecting additional data is quite possible. Many people leave comments under the photos, or you can find out the area if the person you are looking for lives in the same city as the person looking for it. With due care, you can not only find a person using passport data, but also using a regular page on the Internet.

Responsibility for illegal storage and receipt of data

One of the constitutional rights of a citizen of the Russian Federation is the right to protection of confidential information, as well as the right to privacy. By collecting information that is not in the public domain, a citizen may be prosecuted under Art. 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, according to the sanction of which a fine may be imposed or a person may be sentenced to a real term.

There are many ways to find out your registration, knowing your last name, passport number, TIN or even car registration number, each of which can be effective. Therefore, if you want to find a specific subject, you should try all available methods.

TIN - taxpayer identification number - is a specific combination containing the personal data of a citizen. The set of numbers is individual, that is, it has no repetitions.

Is it necessary for an individual entrepreneur to register a legal address?

Since there is no such concept in the legislation of the Russian Federation, there are no rules for its application. In particular, individual entrepreneurs indicate their registered address in all reporting documents to government agencies, the tax inspectorate, and extra-budgetary funds. Accordingly, even if an individual entrepreneur has rented an office or opened a store, there is no need to register their address with the tax authority.

At the same time, an individual entrepreneur can safely indicate the actual address of his office or store in advertising brochures and leaflets, videos, business cards, on the website, and so on. But he is not at all obliged to write in them the address of his place of residence, which is registered with the tax authority.

There are a large number of reasons why you need to find out the registration of a particular person, having only passport data in hand. An example of such a need might be searching for a relative with whom there has been no contact for a long period, or identifying potential heirs when going through the procedure of taking ownership of property.

You can go the standard route and contact the competent authorities with the appropriate request, but let’s consider a more convenient option, how you can check your passport registration online on the official website.

General issues

To obtain information about a person’s place of registration, it is recommended to first contact the territorial office of the migration service at the place of registration of the property owner. This can be done by both buyers and sellers of property.

If employees of a government agency refuse to provide assistance, then you can hire a qualified lawyer who will carry out his activities on behalf of the interested person. Such official representatives must be issued a certificate without fail.

As for direct buyers, it is best for them to contact a specialized real estate agency. In the vast majority of cases, employees of the relevant companies have the information in question.

Also, current registration records are contained in the Unified State Register. To submit a request, you must first provide

purchase and sale agreement

and a civil passport of the Russian Federation. The issued certificate will act as a key basis.

Searching for information via the Internet online

Obtaining information using online services is a current method that has recently gained popularity.

There are two official options with which you can acquire important data:

There is a third option - using the functions of third-party virtual services. In specific cases, this method can be used to obtain the necessary information, but it is illegal.

Such sites usually hide criminals who, in exchange for information, demand either payment or personal data for future use for fraud.

Checking the TIN on the tax portal is quite simple.

You need to follow the instructions:

Within 1-5 minutes the system will provide basic information on the taxpayer.

Another convenient option for obtaining information on the TIN is to submit a request through the Public Services portal.

The verification procedure is carried out similarly to the process of conducting search actions through the tax authorities’ website. A verified account is required. When registering, a citizen gains access to a large number of online services.

Sequencing:

No additional actions are required from the applicant - the citizen receives the same information provided by the tax police. In this case, an expanded list of documents is provided for submitting a request.

Ways to find out data

By a set of numbers you can obtain information about an individual or legal entity. There are several options for providing information.

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to find out how to solve your particular problem, contact a consultant:

If you have access to the USRN database, you can find out information about the TIN owner:

• FULL NAME;
• passport details;
• permanent residence address;
• presence of tax debts;
• information about existing property, bank accounts.

Such information in the hands of fraudsters can lead to significant risk for the citizen himself. For this reason, access to the USRN database is confidential.

But having a TIN can provide a lot of information contained in the numbers themselves:

Information can be acquired by searching using the Federal Tax Service database - the method is relevant for those individuals who have conducted business activities in the past.

It is easier to obtain information about an organization by tax identification number. Potential partners usually take advantage of this.

Using the TIN of a legal entity, you can find out:

• the company’s integrity in terms of paying mandatory fees to the state;
• presence of debts;
• authorized persons;
• period of employment and other significant positions.

It is permissible to obtain up-to-date information when submitting a request through the Federal Tax Service:

Taking into account the number and series of the identity card, it is possible to determine the full name of the owner of the document, but this is only possible with special permission or serious circumstances.

If there are only passport details of the person who committed any illegal actions, the victim can contact law enforcement agencies to establish the identity of the offender.

The nearest police department will need to make a request, attaching to it the available information about the citizen who is the alleged criminal.

It is impossible to find out when a person was born using an INN. Data of individuals is stored in the Tax Service database and is confidential information.

An appeal to the Federal Tax Service, bailiff services, the Federal Migration Service or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation will have little effectiveness - the applicant will be refused on the basis of a ban on the disclosure of personal information.

You can obtain information about a citizen’s place of employment if the applicant has connections in organizations.

According to the norms of current legislation (Federal Law No. 152), the transfer of information is an illegal act (for this, liability is provided - an administrative fine).

The described option should not be abused.

The main reason for searching an organization's data is to check the reliability of a partner. Those persons who plan to enter into a transaction with an entrepreneur should clarify the information on the TIN.

If the TIN is known, then the law provides for the right to request an extract from the register of legal entities, then the following will become available:

• OGRNIP and date of purchase of the certificate;
• Full name of the entrepreneur;
• date of liquidation or cessation of business;
• branch of the government agency where the registration was carried out.

After the request, the following data will be available:

• Full name of the individual;
• information about the activities of individual entrepreneurs;
• activity codes.

It is recommended to check counterparties before concluding agreements with new partners. This will minimize risks and save money.

Step-by-step instruction

To find out your registration address for free through the official website of the Federal Migration Service using passport data, you just need to follow a series of sequential steps, namely:

• Enter the verification code at the bottom of the screen and submit a verification request. The example shows a set of random numbers that is generated randomly.

Now we just have to wait 15 days. It is during this period that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will check the requested information.

What requirements must be met?

Many reasons can serve as characteristic grounds for identifying a person’s place of residence.

Standards for working with the database

Many citizens may be interested in the question of how to find out their registration address using their passport number. The relevant information is posted in specialized databases, but for the vast majority of people such resources are closed.

Sources typically include the following information set:

• Full name and date of birth of the citizen;
• place of registration;
• place of residence;
• information about crossing the state border;
• data on permanent employment;
• health status – not in all cases.

Any attempts to provide characteristics to the public are prohibited by law, as stated in the provisions of Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 152 on personal data.

Operators and other interested parties who have access to the database can disclose data only with the written consent of the subject, unless otherwise provided by law. Among the options for legally obtaining information from closed sources, only two stand out.

In accordance with the provisions of Federal Law No. 63 of May 31, 2020, authorized lawyers can receive any data, although practice shows that this is not always done.

In the second case, the citizen must break the law. The injured party can contact local law enforcement agencies with a pre-formed statement.

What do passport data provide access to?

Having received information about a person’s place of registration, you are given the opportunity to:

• find out the registration data of the alimony defaulter for further forced collection of debt for the child;
• find potential heirs in the event of the death of the testator;
• searching for a defendant when considering claims in civil or commercial proceedings;
• find relatives or loved ones with whom contact has been lost;
• find out the place of registration of the owner of the car if it is used by proxy and it is necessary to pay traffic fines.

There are other ways to obtain information about a person’s place of registration, and sometimes it is enough to have a minimum of information.

Why might this be needed?

They are looking for lost relatives and friends living in other regions of the country, contact with whom was lost after moving, former classmates or fellow students to organize alumni meetings. In such cases, you need to find out the registration address to send an official invitation.

Business reasons for which it is necessary to find a lost person and provide registration information include:

• the need to establish the place of residence or temporary registration of a person obligated to pay alimony in accordance with a court decision (citizens receiving payments or their representatives can make a request);
• search for successors specified in the will of the deceased or persons who are required to accept the inheritance by law. Such a search is necessary for a person’s timely entry into inheritance rights;
• the need to bring charges against the defendant at the request of the court (lawsuit) if he changes his address or provides false information;
• the desire to protect oneself in real estate transactions, that is, to obtain information about persons registered in the living space before the purchase agreement is executed;
• searching for loan debtors, establishing the place of residence and registration of a citizen by last name or the same information about the guarantor.

Checking the counterparty

Preliminary data collection

First of all, you need to make sure that the company is registered in the prescribed manner and is operating. This can be done in different ways.

Check TIN

Make sure that the supplier's TIN is not a random set of numbers, but a real digital code that belongs to the company offering the transaction.

It is very easy to check this, since the Taxpayer Identification Number has its own algorithm, and a fake number most likely will not correspond to it. You can recognize an error in the TIN in any program for preparing information on the income of individuals by entering the number in the “Employer TIN” field. If the number does not satisfy the algorithm, an error message will appear.

At the same time, you can establish the authenticity of the TIN and its affiliation with a particular company on the Federal Tax Service website or using the contractor verification service Kontur.Focus.

Request a copy of the state registration certificate (or entry sheet in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities)

The state registration certificate confirms that the counterparty exists as a legal entity and is registered as a taxpayer. From January 1, 2021, when registering legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, instead of a state registration certificate, an entry sheet of the required register is issued - the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. Thus, the entry sheet is a document confirming the fact of making an entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs.

In accordance with clause 13 of the Rules for maintaining the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the entry sheet of the state register is included in the registration file of a legal entity. In accordance with clause 19 of the Rules for maintaining the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, the entry sheet of the state register is included in the registration file of an individual entrepreneur.

It is not necessary to request a copy of the certificate or record sheet directly from the potential counterparty. You can find out whether it is registered using the service or on the Federal Tax Service website.

Get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs

A fresh extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities confirms that the counterparty is registered and has not been deregistered at the time of its receipt. In addition, using the Unified State Register of Legal Entities extract, you can check the details specified by counterparties in contracts and other documents.

An extract can be requested directly from a potential partner or using the Federal Tax Service service.

Kontur.Focus issues a fresh extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs within a few minutes. In addition, by placing the organization you are interested in under surveillance in this service, you will receive notifications of any changes in the data of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs to your email.

Analyze financial statements

A good tool for assessing a counterparty is the balance sheet as of the last reporting date with a mark from the tax office. It can be requested directly from the counterparty or obtained through official sources (for example, the financial statements of companies reporting to Rosstat are presented in the Kontur.Focus service).

The balance sheet allows you to draw several important conclusions about the company:

• Firstly, it confirms that the company submits reports.
• Secondly, it allows you to establish whether the organization conducted economic activities.
• Thirdly, from accounting records you can learn about the “portfolio” of funds that the company has. If a company has practically zero asset value, significant debt obligations and an authorized capital of 10,000 rubles, this is a reason to think about whether it is worth giving such a company, for example, a trade loan. The company's turnover that is too low compared to the amount of the proposed transaction may also indicate that the supplier is hiding part of the income. In this case, it is better to refuse the deal.

Based on financial reporting data, it is easy to create a financial analysis that will show the dynamics of the company’s activities and allow you to assess its financial stability. In the Kontur.Focus service, on the company card you can find links to financial statements and mini-financial analysis, which will allow you to immediately see key points in the accounting forms without the need to study a large and complex financial report for the company.

Information about legal entities that have tax arrears and/or have not submitted tax reports for more than a year can also be obtained on the Federal Tax Service website.

Additional Analytics

It is necessary to verify the integrity of the counterparty and collect evidence that you have carried out the necessary checks. Why is it important? In the event of litigation, this will confirm that your company exercised due diligence in choosing a counterparty.

From the point of view of tax authorities (Letter of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated March 23, 2017 N ED-5-9 / [email protected] ), a company has not exercised due diligence if it does not have:

• personal contacts of management in the counterparty company when discussing delivery terms and when signing contracts;
• documentary confirmation of the authority of the head of the counterparty company, copies of his identity document;
• information about the actual location of the counterparty, as well as the location of warehouse, production, and retail space;
• information on the method of obtaining information about the counterparty (advertising, recommendations of partners, official website, etc.);
• information on the state registration of the counterparty in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
• information about whether the counterparty has the necessary license (if the transaction is concluded within the framework of a licensed activity), a certificate of admission to a certain type of work issued by a self-regulatory organization;
• information about other market participants of similar goods, works, services, including those who offer lower prices.

Company information

Bulk registration address

A mass address is one of the signs of fly-by-night companies. At the end of 2017, the Ministry of Finance issued Letter No. 03-12-13/75024 dated November 14, 2017, in which it warned that if there is confirmed information about the unreliability of the information submitted about the address of a legal entity, the registration authority has the right to refuse registration. According to the document, the inclusion of information about the mass registration address is the basis for checking the accuracy of the data in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. Thus, by registering companies at a mass address, a legal entity or individual entrepreneur risks being denied registration.

But tightening control over mass addresses concerns not only new businesses, but also already registered companies: the tax office sends letters to companies that need to provide reliable information about their address to the registration authority. It will not be possible to ignore the notification from the tax authorities: if the address is not confirmed, the submitted documents do not correspond to reliability, then an entry about incorrect information about the address is made in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, which may lead to the exclusion of the organization from the register, according to Art. 21.1 of the Federal Law of 08.08.2001 No. 129-FZ. Concluding agreements with counterparties registered at mass addresses is all the more dangerous.

How to check the “mass” of an address? Firstly, a service is available on the Federal Tax Service website that checks the address entered by the user with a list of mass addresses. Secondly, it shows which companies are registered at the same address as the counterparty the user is interested in, the Kontur.Focus service. In some cases, such “neighborhood,” even if we are not talking about mass registration, may turn out to be significant.

Actual location of the counterparty

The discrepancy between the actual and legal addresses in itself does not characterize the counterparty in any way. According to the Federal Tax Service, almost 80% of Russian companies are not located at the legal address specified during registration. But the tax office recommends checking the actual location of the counterparty along with other data.

Such information can be obtained by visiting the legal or actual address of the intended partner. This will allow you not only to clarify whether the counterparty’s office is actually located there, but also to look at the premises, production or retail space, and talk with employees and neighbors in the office building. Such a visit can be especially productive if it is made incognito, under the guise of a buyer or potential partner.

In Contour.Focus, you can view a panorama of buildings and surrounding areas for a specified legal entity in one click. This option is called building inspection through Yandex and Google maps.

Enforceability of the terms of the contract for the counterparty

It is necessary to have obvious evidence that the counterparty has a real opportunity to fulfill the terms of the contract. First of all, the time spent on delivery or production of goods, performance of work or provision of services is taken into account.

Violations of tax laws

The taxpayer has the right to request from the tax authorities information about the payment of taxes by counterparties. It does not matter whether the inspection responds to the company’s request. The Code does not establish the obligation of tax authorities to provide taxpayers, upon their requests, with information about the fulfillment by counterparties of the obligations provided for by the legislation on taxes and fees, or about their violations of the law (Letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated 06/04/2012 N 03-02-07/1-134).

As arbitration practice shows, the company’s due diligence is evidenced by the very fact of contacting the tax office with a request to assist in verifying the integrity of counterparties.

In order for the fact of contacting the inspectorate to be recorded, the request should be sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt (you will have one copy of the inventory and the returned notification) or submit the request in person to the tax office (in this case, you will have a copy of the request with a mark of acceptance). .

Arbitration cases

Arbitration cases are important not only for proving the taxpayer’s due diligence, but also for obtaining information about his business reputation and the nature of his behavior in the market.

Pay attention to what disputes the organization has been involved in. If the supplier has previously been involved in illegal tax evasion schemes, this may be considered by the court as indirect evidence of the taxpayer’s guilt. If these are claims related to the company’s violation of its obligations, and the potential counterparty has many such disputes, then there is also a reason to think about the advisability of cooperation.

Arbitration allows you to determine what amounts a company operates with. This is especially important if the taxpayer has no other information about the financial status of the potential partner.

You can also check the counterparty’s disputes for “typicality”. If an organization is constantly involved in the same type of disputes, it is possible that the contracts it concludes contain traps designed for clients who are poorly versed in the intricacies of civil law. To judge this for sure, you will need the expertise of an experienced lawyer.

There are two ways to check a counterparty for arbitration cases:

• In the file of arbitration cases on the website of the Supreme Arbitration Court. The resource provides information about litigation and its content. To obtain information, you will have to indicate the participant in the case (name, TIN or OGRN). As a result of the search, the system produces a list of cases in which the counterparty appears, with procedural documents for each of them and data on the current stage of the trial.
• In the Kontur.Focus service, where arbitration cases are exported from the file of arbitration cases of the Supreme Arbitration Court. Linking cases to company cards is done by a smart algorithm that works even in cases where the exact details of the participant are unknown. For each arbitration case, the following data is displayed: plaintiffs, defendants, third parties, amount of the claim, category of the case, progress of the case, texts of court decisions. On the organization's card, you can assess the balance between won and lost cases, as well as compare the volume of claims where the organization acts as a plaintiff or defendant. The list of arbitration cases is updated daily.

Government contracts

Government contracts are another way to obtain reliable information about a prospective partner. The fact that the company has repeatedly concluded government contracts and fulfilled its obligations on time may indicate its reliability.

Repeated conclusion of government contracts and timely fulfillment of obligations may indicate the reliability of the company. However, to draw final conclusions, you need to know the situation in the region.

You can access data on government contracts on the official government procurement website. In Kontur.Focus, for each contract there is the following data: customer, transaction price, date of signing the contract, the essence of the obligations assumed by the contractor, contract number and status.

People data

Mass character and affiliation of the leader/founder

Just like the mass of the registration address, the mass of the manager/founder may indicate that the potential counterparty is a fly-by-night.

You can check how many companies were founded by this or that person, in how many companies he holds the position of general director, in the Kontur.Focus service. If there are many such companies, and some of them have already ceased operations, this is a serious reason to think about the feasibility of cooperation.

Information about individuals who are managers or founders (participants) of several legal entities is provided by the Federal Tax Service on its website.

“Black list” on the Federal Tax Service website

We are talking about a register of disqualified persons. Disqualification is an administrative penalty that consists of depriving an individual of certain rights, in particular, the right to occupy leadership positions in the executive body of a legal entity, to join the board of directors (supervisory board), and to carry out entrepreneurial activities to manage a legal entity.

The basis for disqualification may be deliberate or fictitious bankruptcy, concealment of property or property obligations, falsification of accounting and other accounting documents, etc.

To avoid cooperation with companies whose manager has been disqualified, it is enough to check a potential partner through a special service on the Federal Tax Service website. The search is carried out by the name of the legal entity and OGRN.

By the end of 2021, the Federal Tax Service launched the Transparent Business service in test mode, which can be used to collect comprehensive information about the taxpayer - organization and exercise due diligence.

If you enter information about the TIN, OGRN or company name into the search, the following information will appear:

• date of state registration and main state registration number of the legal entity, method of formation of the legal entity and name of the registering authority;
• information about the organization’s registration with the tax authority;
• state of the legal entity;
• address of the legal entity and information about the address of mass registration;
• OKVED;
• size of the authorized capital;
• inaccurate information about the head of the company, management of the activities of many other legal entities;
• category of small and medium-sized enterprise.

You should pay attention to the triangle sign, which may appear in the section as a warning. This means that the information requires special attention.

Powers of the person signing documents

When checking counterparties, the Ministry of Finance recommends obtaining documentary evidence of the authority of the manager (his representative). If the documents are signed by a company representative, you must obtain a power of attorney or other document from the counterparty authorizing a person to sign documents on behalf of the company.

The Ministry of Finance also recommends that taxpayers request identification documents from the head of the counterparty company. This will confirm that the documents are signed by the person who has the authority to do so. In addition, there may be cases when the counterparty is registered on a lost or stolen passport. You can find out this on the FMS website.

Transaction information

Confirmation of personal contacts when concluding a transaction

A lack of personal contact when concluding a transaction may indicate that the taxpayer did not exercise due diligence. The collected data on the circumstances of concluding an agreement with the counterparty (who participated in the negotiations, who sold the goods, etc.) will help prove the opposite.

Verification of transaction documents

This procedure allows you to avoid not only claims from tax authorities, but also possible legal disputes.

At the stage of concluding a transaction, it is recommended:

• check the address indicated in the counterparty’s documents, in particular in invoices;
• make sure that the supplier’s documents do not contain logical contradictions and comply with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and other laws;
• compare employee signatures on documents in order to eliminate the situation when different signatures are placed on behalf of one person (it is better to exclude such documents so that the Federal Tax Service does not declare them fictitious).

The given list of “filters” is incomplete. There are other ways to exercise caution in choosing a counterparty and obtain the most complete information about him.
