Replacing the TIN when changing your last name: through State Services and the Federal Tax Service, documents, deadlines, sample application form

There are situations in a person’s life when you need to get a new surname. After changing his last name, he needs to change his personal documents. If desired, the interested person can change his tax identification number (TIN).

The methods by which this tax document will be replaced will be discussed later in this article.

The need to replace a document

A taxpayer identification number (hereinafter referred to as TIN), which consists of 12 digits, is assigned to any citizen only once. This number is assigned to a specific person for his entire life.

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not have such a resolution where it is written that an individual who has changed his last name must necessarily change his TIN. After all, when a person receives a passport with a new last name, information about the change in personal data is immediately sent to the tax service.

Moreover, if a citizen received a new certificate for his current surname, then this action will not contradict the law.

On one's own

If an interested person wants to change his tax certificate on his own, he will need to follow the following algorithm:

Collect a specific list of documents that will be needed to replace the tax document.
Contact the tax office at your place of permanent registration.
Obtain a special form from the tax inspector to obtain a new TIN.
Fill out the form provided.
Submit to an employee of the government organization all the documents collected in advance and the completed application.

According to the law, the applicant will be able to obtain a TIN for a new surname from the tax authority in 1 working week, counting from the day when the tax officer received all the important papers necessary for carrying out this operation.

Established procedure

Replacing the TIN when changing your last name in 2021 is carried out in several stages:

Contact the Federal Tax Service, according to your place of registration or stay.
Provide the employee with the required package of papers.
The applicant will be asked to complete an application.
Pick up a new document after receiving a notification on the tax website or come on the specified date. The date of document readiness is communicated when submitting the application. The maximum processing time is 2 weeks. As for practice, the procedure takes much less time (about 5 days).

Re-registration is very rarely denied. This may be due to the provision of insufficient papers. In this case, it is enough to convey the missing documents to the employees.

Required documents

To replace the certificate after receiving a new name, the interested person needs to collect the following list of documents:

Your passport , which is already registered in your new name.
A document confirming the citizen’s permanent registration in the area where the tax authority is located. This certificate of permanent residence must be given to tax inspectors if such information is not contained in the document that confirms the identity of this citizen.
Original and copy of marriage certificate.
Previously received certificate. After the applicant receives a certificate under a new surname, the old document will be destroyed.

A citizen will be able to go through the procedure for obtaining a new certificate completely free of charge. It is worth noting that payment of a receipt for replacing a tax certificate may only be necessary if the tax document is re-issued.

If a citizen pays an unnecessary receipt, he will not be able to get the money back.

Good reasons for changing your name, surname or patronymic

A citizen wants to bear a premarital surname if the marriage was dissolved or if the spouse died.
The applicant wants to have a common surname with the children if the spouse died and the surname was premarital.
