Hello! In this article we will talk about how to restore SNILS.

The restoration procedure may be required in case of loss or damage to the certificate. This is not scary, since the identification number is assigned for life, and replacing the document is very simple. This can be done in several ways. However, the time to obtain a duplicate is limited, so the procedure should not be delayed.

What documents are required

To restore in case of loss, you will need:

  • passport or other identification document, for example, a passport;
  • statement;
  • birth certificate (if the SNILS of a person under the age of 14 is lost);
  • a notarized power of attorney if you are represented by a third party.

How to restore SNILS through the MFC: step by step instructions

One way to get a duplicate green card is to contact the Multifunctional Centre. This organization provides a variety of document processing services. Including she can help if SNILS was lost.

  1. Contact the MFC at the place of registration or actual residence. In large cities, it is possible to make an appointment from home via the Internet on the official website of the MFC.
  2. Take the number of the electronic queue. You can get it at the terminal yourself or ask an employee of the center.
  3. When the queue comes up, your number and address will appear on the scoreboard.
  4. Provide documents to the employee. He will check them, and if all is well, he will accept them.
  5. After a set period, you will be able to receive SNILS. At the same time, its preparation can be tracked online.

How else can you restore SNILS

To restore the certificate, you can contact the FIU directly. The procedure is not much different from applying to the MFC.

For a working citizen, replacing SNILS may be even easier. Contact your employer or, if possible, Human Resources.

Many are interested in the question of whether it is possible to restore a document through public services. Unfortunately, in 2019 there is no such function on the portal. If you go to the "document recovery" section and select "SNILS", you can find out detailed information on how to get a duplicate and where. But you won't be able to apply online. You can use only one of the above methods.

Below on the page you will find answers to frequently asked questions. For example, how to restore a child's testimony? If SNILS is lost by a citizen under the age of 14, then his parents or legal guardians must apply for restoration. Upon reaching the age of 14, he can do it on his own.

Another frequently asked question: does the SNILS number change when changing the green card? A personal account is assigned to a person, it is personal and never changes.

Recovery time

Important! 1 month is given to receive a duplicate, regardless of the reason for changing the document. If you have lost SNILS or changed your name, then within a month you must report this to the FIU and make a replacement. If you find errors in the new certificate, then you have one more month to exchange it.

How long does it take to restore SNILS? If you apply to the MFC, you will be able to receive a certificate in five working days. There may be a delay of 1-2 days for various reasons. Some branches of the Pension Fund, if you contact directly, will be able to issue a document immediately on the spot. But sometimes it can also take up to five days on average.

If you have a situation where a replacement needs to be made urgently, you should contact the FIU and explain the situation. They will meet you halfway and issue the document immediately. But in no case should you use the services of dubious organizations or look for an office that can quickly issue a duplicate on the Internet. First, it is likely to be expensive. Secondly, the company may be fraudulent. And when she receives your data, she uses it for criminal purposes.

Receipt and replacement of SNILS are free of charge! Even if you contact the MFC, which provides some services for a fee, you will not have to pay any state duties or other fees. And also there are no sanctions and fines for loss or damage to the document.

What will happen if SNILS is not restored in time

There is no penalty for delay in reinstatement. If you are not working, then the delay will not bring tangible problems at all.

However, a working or retired person needs SNILS to track and form pension savings. If you have any questions about your pension, or you need to clarify something about deductions, then without a certificate it is not so easy to do this.

If you are forced to go to the hospital, to the bank, to social services for help, you will encounter a number of difficulties. For example, the bank will most likely refuse the application, and the social service will not consider your application.

What to do if you lost SNILS

If you have lost SNILS, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Contact your employer, HR or accounting department.
  2. Write an application in the ADV-3 form. Check for errors - there shouldn't be any. Fill in neat handwriting to avoid incorrect data in the document itself.
  3. Your employer keeps copies of documents, so he does not need to provide a passport.
  4. He will transfer the documents with the inventory to the PF department.
  5. When the certificate is ready, within a week the employer will have to give it to you, get your signature on the statement and give it back to the Pension Fund.

Non-working citizens, self-employed, individual entrepreneurs will have to apply on their own to the MFC or the PFR, as we described above.

What to do if you lost SNILS in another city

It is not such a rare situation to lose documents while on a business trip or on some business in another city. At the same time, your circumstances may be very different: you can come for a couple of hours, live with or without temporary registration.

If you work in another city, then contact your employer. In the above order, he will help to make a replacement. If you live in the city, but do not work there, you must independently contact either the FIU or the MFC.

It doesn't matter where you are registered. If you do not have registration in the city where the document was lost, just visit the territorial office, they will help you in any case. The procedure for restoration in another city does not differ from the procedure for applying for the same purpose at the place of residence.
