Every citizen of Russia has the right to receive a pension after reaching a certain age. While still young, you must register with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and receive a certificate of compulsory pension insurance (SNIPS).
In order for pension contributions to be received by the Pension Fund, you must register and receive a personal account number, which consists of 11 numbers.
In the event that you are finding a job for the first time and have not previously been registered with the territorial authority, your employer must submit your documents to the Pension Fund for receiving SNILS within two weeks from the conclusion of the employment contract. To do this, the policyholder fills out a questionnaire, which indicates personal data (name, address, passport data).
After filling out this document, you should check the details and put your signature. If for any reason you do not have the opportunity to verify the data, the policyholder must indicate this in the questionnaire and put a stamp, certifying it.
As a rule, the questionnaire is also submitted in electronic form (ADV-1 form). It is accompanied by a list of documents to be transferred to the FIU (form ADV-6-1).
Having accepted the documents, the employee of the pension fund must, after 21 days, transfer to the policyholder the insurance certificates for the declared persons.
In the event that you wish to receive the insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance yourself, contact the Pension Fund, which is located in the area of your residence. You must have an identity document with you. A fund employee will provide you with a questionnaire, which you will need to fill out by hand. After that, you will receive SNILS after 10 working days.
In the event that the pension certificate was lost by you, then you need to get a duplicate. To do this, also contact the territorial authority at the place of registration with a document proving your identity. If you remember the personal account number, then this is good, since the document will be restored quite quickly.
