The Pension Certificate (SNILS) is issued by the Pension Fund to each insured citizen. It contains information about the individual number of the personal account in the pension insurance system, personal data and the date of issue of the document.
Instruction manual
1
If you have lost your retirement certificate, contact your employer and write a renewal application. You must declare a loss within 1 month (Clause 5, Article 7 of the Federal Law "On Individual (Personified) Accounting in the State Pension Insurance System"). The personnel department of your organization will send your application and a document confirming the number of your pension certificate to the Pension Fund. SNILS number is indicated in the employee’s personal card and other personnel documents.
2
If you independently pay pension insurance contributions or do not work under an employment contract, please contact the Pension Fund office at your place of residence with a statement on the restoration of the lost document.
3
An employee of the Pension Fund will accept your application, and within a month you will be given a duplicate of the insurance certificate. You can get it in person or through your employer. To resolve the issue of issuing a duplicate of SNILS, an employee of the Pension Fund may require documents proving your identity and the data contained in an individual personal account.
4
When you receive a certificate through an employer, you must sign the accompanying sheet. If there are errors in the insurance certificate, fill out the correction sheet. A personnel officer submits accompanying statements and correction sheets to the FIU within a month.
5
To receive a duplicate of a lost document through a trustee, you will need a notarized power of attorney. If SNILS is restored to minor children, the right to receive it remains with the parents or guardians.
