What is a pension certificate
SNILS stands for insurance number of an individual personal account. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is responsible for assigning it to each citizen. In order to confirm a citizen’s registration in the insurance system, he is issued a certificate (SSOPS) in the form of a laminated green card, which contains information about the account in this government agency (a combination of 11 digits). This code does not change throughout a person’s life, regardless of circumstances (loss, damage, change of surname, etc.).
Important to know: The document is necessary not only for the working population, but also for the unemployed, children and foreigners.
Find out the SNILS number from your passport
SNILS is an abbreviation for the insurance number of a taxpayer’s individual personal account. You can check it in several ways - using the Internet, by visiting a branch of the Pension Fund. Each of them has its own nuances. Let's look at them in more detail.
How to find out SNILS by TIN?
It is impossible to find out SNILS using the taxpayer's TIN , since these two documents are not directly related to each other and have different areas of activity. An insurance account is needed to make pension payments and is an identifier for the Pension Fund.
The identification code is used to pay taxes and is intended for the tax office. It follows from this that there are no legal options for carrying out operations using a TIN.
How to find out the SNILS number from your passport?
It is possible to find an individual insurance number using a passport only at the Pension Fund office. To carry out the procedure, a citizen must visit the authority and present an identification document to the department employee.
This information is not disclosed to third parties . Next, the fund employee will send a request, and after a short period of time you will be able to receive insurance information.
It is impossible to find information on an individual account on the Internet using a passport.
There is no database of insurance accounts on the websites. And the portals that offer the service are scammers .
You can restore your lost green card by visiting the regional office of the fund. The account number will not be changed upon restoration, since it is assigned for life.
How to find out the SNILS number by last name?
You can find an insurance certificate by last name on the government services portal or in the pension fund database. However, to carry out the operation, you must already be an authorized user, since the site requests SNILS data during registration.
You should not perform this procedure on other sites, otherwise your personal data may fall into the hands of scammers.
Instructions for checking the insurance number in the Pension Fund database:
- Log in to the user’s personal account (there is no other way to find out SNILS from the database).
- Find the “Personal Account” tab.
- Check the box next to “Order a certificate” and select “Get a service”.
- Go to your request history, the search result will be displayed there.
- Open the document, rewrite the required information.
To complete the procedure through the government services portal, do the following:
- Log in to your personal account.
- Rewrite the required information.
If the insurance number is not saved in your personal account, you can do the following:
- log in to the portal;
- find the “Pension savings” button;
- choose the service of ordering an extended account statement with the citizen’s full data;
- within half an hour, a PF employee will send an extract confirming SNILS to your email account;
- It is better to enter the account number in your personal profile in order to speed up the search procedure in the future.
Checking SNILS for validity online
You should check the correctness of the green card using the Internet only on the official PF portal. The government services website does not provide information, and other sites may use your data for fraudulent schemes.
To carry out the operation, you must select and enter in the window that appears the 11 digits of the certificate, which are located above the owner’s last name. Within five minutes, the information will be processed and one of two inscriptions “SNILS incorrect” or “SNILS correct” will appear on the screen.
You can also check the check number of the green card, the last two digits of the number, in the PF database. To do this, on the website you need to select the “Calculate the insurance number check number” tab, then enter the first nine digits of the insurance. The portal will give you the answer, you just need to compare it with the control number on the green card.
SNILS is the name given to a citizen’s compulsory insurance, which allows him to use various government services and receive pension payments. If the certificate is lost, it can be restored in a short time at the regional branch of the Pension Fund.
When the owner urgently needs the green card information, but he cannot see the original, then you can find out its number using the Internet on the State Services portal or in the Pension Fund database. However, the procedure is only possible if this data was entered into your personal account during registration.
Otherwise, a citizen will be able to resolve the issue only by personally submitting a passport to the regional branch of the Pension Fund. It is not possible to check SNILS using other documents.
What is it for?
In addition to the account code in the state pension system, the card also contains other personal data about its owner: full name, date and place of birth, date of registration and issue.
Unlike the new certificate format, the old-style SNILS does not indicate the registration date. Therefore, to clarify this information, a citizen should contact directly the PFR unit at the place of residence with an identification document.
In addition, the ability to check the date when a citizen was registered with a government agency is provided to users of the government services portal. The registration process on this site requires you to enter personal information, including information from your insurance certificate.
Important: After logging into your personal account, you need to fill out an online request to obtain the required information.
You can also obtain other useful government services and data using your SNILS number on a single portal.
New SNILS, “number of the beast” and “electronic concentration camp”
The Head of the Russian State signed the law “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Individual (Personified) Accounting in the Compulsory Pension Insurance System” and certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation.” The first step towards the fact that SNILS (also known as the “pension insurance certificate”) will replace passports and all documents for individuals has been taken.
On the one hand, this should simplify our lives, just as “one-stop services”, MFCs, etc., etc. simplified it. However, the new law was subjected to severe criticism. Including from a number of Orthodox activists, who are confident that this unification of citizens is based on grounds unacceptable for Christians. Moreover, some saw in the new SNILS almost the biblical “number of the beast” with three sixes, while others saw additional opportunities for infringing on the rights of believers. Let's try to figure out whether there are grounds for this.
"What is Caesar's to Caesar"
As you know, the Gospel principle has always operated in the Church: “What is Caesar’s is to Caesar, and what is God’s is to God.” This meant and means only that there is no point in resisting secular authorities in matters that do not concern the foundations of our faith and the morality based on it. That there is nothing wrong with the state monetary system, population censuses, passports and other forms of registration and identification of citizens. Nevertheless, believers at different times tried to resist this.
Thus, even before the revolution, many (and not only radical Old Believers or sectarians) refused to take part in the first general census of the Russian Empire in 1897. The arguments were very different: from the fact that those who were rewritten would be forcibly sent to explore Siberia, would be subject to new taxes or sent to the army, to eschatological ones - they say that the “seal of the Antichrist” would be placed on those who were rewritten.
Of course, the state and the Church explained that there were no grounds for such expectations; moreover, it is known from the Gospel that the Holy Family - the Infant of God, the Mother of God and the holy righteous Joseph the Betrothed - participated in the population census. But not everyone was convinced by this. Many simply ran away from the census takers, some even aggressively attacked them. It got to the point where the whole world heard how a group of people, supposedly for Christian reasons, refused to participate in the census and buried themselves alive in the ground. Many liberal publicists, including the “mirror of the Russian revolution” Leo Tolstoy, used this outrageous incident to once again mock the “obscurantism” of the Orthodox.

In Soviet times, for the same reasons, only reinforced by the real militant atheism of the communist authorities, many Catacomb Christians resolutely refused Soviet passports. Knowing full well that this will at least limit their rights, and most likely lead them to prisons and camps. Nevertheless, they stood their ground: we will not take the documents of the Antichrist government!
Passions around INN and SNILS
Decades passed, the communist authorities, along with the Soviet state, sank into oblivion, and at the end of the 1990s, history repeated itself. Many believers opposed the adoption of an Individual Taxpayer Number. Some, contrary to the opinion of the clergy, saw in the INN the same “three sixes” and the “seal of the Antichrist”, others were indignant that people were being coded as if in a concentration camp, while some rightly stated that the INN is part of the world globalist system, which sooner or later can use ID accounting against Christians.
As a result, the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church accepted several appeals to believers, in which, on the one hand, it explained that there are no “seals of the Antichrist” in the TIN, but on the other hand, it agreed that everyone has the right to refuse such an accounting system . Thus, in one of the synodal resolutions of 2001 it was said:
Technological action cannot by itself produce a revolution in the innermost depths of the human soul, leading it to the oblivion of Christ. The opposite statement is a superstition that contradicts Church Tradition and patristic teaching, for the mark of the beast is placed on those who consciously believe in the Antichrist solely for the sake of his false miracles (St. John Chrysostom). No external sign violates a person’s spiritual health unless it becomes the result of a conscious betrayal of Christ and a desecration of faith... Treat with understanding the opinion of those who do not accept the TIN as a number that can be perceived as an alternative to a Christian name, especially in cases where this number is assigned under duress, which violates the civil rights of the individual.

Of course, there was never any talk about the TIN replacing a Christian name. Although it is obviously easier for officials to understand the affairs of nameless, numbered entities than the many-thousand-strong Ivanovs, Magomedovs and Goloborodkos. Well, whether the number 666 contains the same TIN and barcodes (the latter, apparently, does, and this is an obvious symbolic challenge to Christianity), the vast majority of officials are not interested. After all, if a person is just a function, then why complicate working with him? Number it and get to work!
And it is precisely this approach that, obviously, is much more anti-Christian than the number 666 as such (by the way, the page with this number is contained in the Bible and does not scare anyone). The problem is in the very principle of digitalization in relation to humans. In dehumanization as such, which accompanies us today literally at every step. And if its beginning is in individual taxpayer numbers, and its logical continuation is in SNILS, then sooner or later human names may completely disappear from the document flow.
It would seem, well, let it be that what is Caesar's is unto Caesar. We know the names given to us in the Sacrament of Baptism, but we certainly will not call our relatives and friends by numbers. Yes it is. But another significant point arises: all this digitalization implies the creation of unified databases about each of us, and, accordingly, control over all of us (including financial, since sooner or later a single document will become a single payment document). It’s one thing if this is used by secular authorities who do not intend to infringe on the rights and freedoms of believers, and quite another thing if newly-minted militant atheists take advantage of it.
In a word, the problem of INN, SNILS and similar instruments, which critics have already hastened to call a “digital concentration camp,” is solely in the extent to which they will be included in the global system, which is an anti-Christian system. And also whether opponents of digitalization will have the opportunity to refuse to participate in it and continue to live “the old fashioned way”: with ordinary paper passports and equally traditional paper cash.
And it is precisely on the right to an alternative in relation to TIN, SNILS and other electronic innovations that we can and even must insist. But these efforts are worth making for yourself, because the notorious “digital concentration camp” has long come to our families in the form of the same smartphones and tablets, which so often replace home prayer, live communication with family and reading books gathering dust on the shelves. Therefore, the most relevant slogan of the moment is not “Everyone to fight against TIN and SNILS!”, but “Start dedigitalization with yourself!”
In what situations is an insurance number required?
In some cases, a pension certificate must be presented, so if it is lost, it should be restored as soon as possible. SNILS may be needed when:

The ILS is closed only after the death of its owner is established.
The insurance number is documented as a green plastic card. The number itself is a combination of digital characters. It serves as an identifier for the insured person and at the same time as an account into which contributions coming from the employer (or from the account owner themselves) are transferred.

- unique identifier code;
- FULL NAME. the policyholder;
- floor;

It is advisable to use the official websites of government agencies on the Internet - State Services, Pension Fund.
By TIN
Each individual who is a citizen of the Russian Federation has his own personal number in the tax system. The Tax Service and the Pension Fund belong as state organizations to completely different departments.
There is no link to the identifiers that citizens from both of these institutions have.
Therefore, there is no way to obtain the original SNILS code via the Internet using a taxpayer identification number (TIN).
By passport
To see what SNILS number is on your passport, you must appear in person at the territorial division of the Pension Fund. All other methods are not used in this case, no matter how expedient and simple it may seem.
The insurance account number is included in the personal data of its owner.
According to the rules for issuing information and certificates, the Pension Fund is prohibited from providing any account statements, as well as its unique digital code, to persons to whom it does not belong.
Interactive services do not provide information. At the points where you fill out the request form, there are not even lines for entering passport data.
Therefore, it is impossible to find out the unique insurance code via the Internet using your passport. This also applies to reviewing the status of your personal account (balance).
The Fund inspector only personally has the right to communicate all information on personal accounts to their owners.
By last name
If you need to obtain information about the SNILS number by last name, you can contact the government agency’s portal using the same procedure as when servicing through State Services or the Pension Fund.
The action plan will be as follows:
- Authorization on the portal.
- Opening your personal account page.

How to check the validity of a document?
To check whether the ILS number is genuine or not, you can also contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (offline and online modes). But the answer will be received personally by the owner of the unique code, and not by his representative. Such checks must be done only through the official portals of government agencies.
Using intermediary sites, you can get caught by scammers. In addition to the two portals already discussed, it is also possible to contact any branch of the MFC (Multifunctional Center) at your place of residence.
A reliable answer can only be received directly from the Pension Fund, through the MFC or the portal for the provision of public services.
Find out SNILS via the Internet: is it possible?
Sometimes a situation arises when the numbers from the insurance certificate are urgently needed, but there is no way to look at the document itself. In the age of information technology, a reasonable question arises: is it possible to check SNILS online by last name? After all, many personal data can be found out in this way.
But it is impossible to find out the code from the pension certificate via the Internet. Even when you enter a query into a search engine, it will not give a positive answer. According to the explanations of the Pension Fund, information about SNILS is not distributed through the World Wide Web; it is confidential. The pension fund has a database online, but it is accessible only to pension fund employees.
How can I get SNILS?
The following categories of citizens can obtain an insurance number:
- working persons;
- unemployed (housewives, etc.);
- self-employed citizens;
- underage;
- military personnel;
- foreign citizens employed in Russia.
Children aged 14 years and older can apply for SNILS on their own. For minors under 14 years of age, applications and documents must be submitted by parents. The procedure for transferring papers to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation can be handled by the management of the school in which the child is enrolled. Sometimes registry offices, on the basis of concluded agreements, transfer data about newborns to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation - in this case, a document is issued for the baby automatically. To obtain an insurance number for a child, you must provide the PF office with an application form, a passport (for children over 14 years old) or a minor’s birth certificate (for those under 14 years old) and a parental passport.
To obtain SNILS for an individual, it is necessary to provide a number of documents to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation:
- a completed application form of the established form;
- passport or other identity document;
- a list of transferred papers (if the request is sent by the HR department).
A foreign citizen employed in the Russian Federation can receive SNILS if two conditions are met:

It is not necessary for a foreigner to receive a pension certificate, but living with him on the territory of the Russian Federation is more convenient and profitable. A citizen of another state can get an official job in Russia only if they have an insurance number. To obtain SNILS, a foreigner will need the following documents, which should be submitted to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation:
- a special questionnaire in the ADV-1 form;
- Residence permit or temporary residence permit.
Alternative methods for finding out your insurance code
In addition to the World Wide Web, there are offline resources where you can find out your ILS number. They are presented below:
- applying for the required extract directly to the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation located at the place of residence of the insured person;
- When hiring a citizen, the employing company must request his SNILS number, from which a copy is made. It is kept in the human resources department of the organization, where it can be obtained upon request. The document requested in this way can be verified for authenticity using online resources. For example, using the Portal of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation portal.fss.ru/fss/lgot/snils. The algorithm of actions is quite simple: enter the HUD number, start the search and the system displays the result.
Attention: PF does not recommend using dubious Internet services, since information entered in empty fields can be used for fraudulent purposes.

SNILS provides many advantages to minors - for example, it is necessary for registration in kindergarten and school.
Help: it is impossible to find out SNILS by the TIN of an individual, because these are completely different elements. It also cannot be done online via the Internet. But you can find out the SNILS number from your passport. To do this, you need to come to the Pension Fund branch and contact an employee, providing an identification document.
Determination of check number
The resulting value is compared relative to the number 100. If it:
- less than 100, then the check number is equal to the sum itself;
- is equal to 100 or 101, then the check number is 00;
- is greater than 101, then it must be completely divided by 101. If the value is less than 300, it is permissible to find it not by division, but by subtracting the number 101 from it, until the resulting figure is less than 100. The resulting value is determined by the two points indicated above .
Example. For example, the following SNILS number was used: 160-722-773 54. To carry out the check, it is necessary to determine the order of each value and multiply it by this number, and then sum them together. Thus: (1*9) + (6*8) + (0*7) + (7*6) + (2*5) + (2*4) + (7*3) + (7*2 ) + (3*1) = 9 + 48 + 0 + 42 + 10 + 8 + 21 + 14 + 3 = 155. The resulting number is greater than 101, but less than 300, which means it is necessary to subtract 155 - 101 = 54. How It can be seen from the result obtained that the control value is correct.
How long does it take to check your name and personal identification number in the Russian Pension Fund database?
You will be taken to the official portal of State Services;
- Find the function “Notification of the status of a personal account in the Pension Fund of Russia”. She is the one responsible for checking the funds in the personal account.

- In the “Pension, benefits and benefits” tab. Pension accruals and benefits for all categories of citizens” you will see all possible transactions with pensions offered by the State Services portal. As you can see, there are quite a lot of them, but almost all of them are aimed at receiving benefits;
- Find and select the category “Pension, benefits and benefits. Pension accruals and benefits for all categories of citizens”;
Information available from the extract:
- the chosen option for accumulating a pension - either part is in the NPF, or all contributions are in the Pension Fund;
- the amount of accrued salary excluding taxes for the year from each employer;
- the total number of points scored (IPC) for all periods of work;
- accrued points (IPC) for each working year separately;

- the name of the NPF, if an agreement has been concluded with it.
- total insurance period in years, months and days for all official work activity;
Conclusion Let's summarize.
It is impossible to find out the details of the owner of a pension certificate online, since this method is contrary to the law on the protection of personal data. It is assigned to Russian citizens as part of compulsory pension insurance.
