When doing business, the number of the registration certificate of the individual entrepreneur is of great importance, where to look at it, you must definitely find out in advance. This question is of interest to many newcomers in the field of entrepreneurship, because by the number you can check the type of activity of a businessman, protect your interests and avoid contact with scammers.
In accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation, a person can do business only after he has registered as an individual entrepreneur. This fact is confirmed by the certificate issued by the Federal Tax Service.
The certificate is the main document of the entrepreneur. The issuance of this paper indicates that the businessman applied to the state body, his registration was carried out with the Federal Tax Service. In addition, the presence of evidence confirms that this person was assigned the legal status of an individual entrepreneur.
The document is printed on a special form, it is reliably protected from counterfeiting. The paper includes the following information:
- The full name of the individual who has passed the registration has received the status of an individual entrepreneur.
- Registrar name. The state body that issued the document is indicated.
- Information about the number contained in the USRIP.
- Date of state registration.
The unique registration number specified in the certificate becomes a mandatory attribute of the individual entrepreneur. It should be included in reports for the Federal Tax Service, extrabudgetary funds. It is indicated when drawing up a contract.
The role of the document in the activities of the individual entrepreneur
The certificate confirms the right of a person to do business. An entrepreneur cannot perform actions for the purpose of making a profit if he does not have this form in his hands.
In accordance with Russian legislation, all persons wishing to do business must complete the registration procedure. Each individual entrepreneur is assigned an OGRNIP. The entrepreneur will use this number when carrying out his activities.
This set of numbers is the registration number contained in the EGRIP. It confirms the right of a person to do business as an individual entrepreneur.
Information about an individual entrepreneur is entered into the Unified State Register. The Internal Revenue Service has access to all data about a businessman. OGRNP consists of 15 digits, they are located in a strict sequence.
How can I find out the number?
For example, you can find out the type of activity of a businessman, the region of operation of the enterprise, the number of the certificate, then there are 2 ways:
- Order an extract from EGRIP. This can be done at the Federal Tax Service in the region where the IP was registered.
- Use the FTS portal. Order an extract, it is very convenient to receive it in electronic form. The document will contain the information that is currently available with the tax office.
From the extract, you will learn the OGRNIP, the full name of the businessman, the INN. In addition, it will contain information about which registrar issued the document. The certificate contains information about the citizenship of the entrepreneur, information about the licenses that he received. In addition, the document will reflect the types of activities of the individual entrepreneur.
It is the presence of the OGRNIP that guarantees that the entrepreneur's activities are legitimate.
The certification process
You will receive a certificate when the IP registration is completed. The document is valid indefinitely. You can receive the form in person or send a representative for it, but the latter must have a power of attorney certified by a notary.
You can get a certificate in 2 ways:
- contact the Federal Tax Service;
- if you do not want to waste time, fill out the documents on the portal owned by the Federal Tax Service.
The process of issuing a certificate will take no more than 5 days. During this time, all information sent to the tax office is carefully checked.
An individual entrepreneur certificate in Russia is obtained by both citizens and foreigners. In addition, stateless persons may become document holders. In all cases, the forms will be different.
The registration procedure is carried out in the region where you are registered. At the same time, the place of business activity does not matter. You get the opportunity to do business in any region of the country. We are also talking about those cases when the sole proprietor has only a temporary residence permit. Persons who do not have a permanent place of residence can apply for an individual entrepreneur, indicating the address of their actual stay.
Citizens of the Russian Federation who decide to register an individual entrepreneur must collect the following documents:
- Statement. You will need to fill out the P21001 form, indicate the TIN.
- A photocopy of your passport. Please provide the original as well.
- Pay the state fee and bring your receipt.
- Prepare a statement on the choice of the simplified tax system in advance if you wish to switch to this taxation regime. The transfer document must be submitted separately.
Fill out the application. This can be done manually or on a computer. It is forbidden to add handwritten notes to printed forms. An exception is made only for the initials and the signature that you put on the letterhead.
Foreigners and stateless persons must provide copies and originals of the following documents:
- Papers confirming the address at which a person lives in Russia.
- Confirmation of a residence permit.
- A certificate confirming that the right to temporary residence in the territory of Russia has been obtained.
- Birth certificate. It is required if the data it contains is not indicated in the passport.
- In addition, a foreign citizen is required to make photocopies of all pages of his country's passport. The information must be translated into Russian. The translation must be certified by a notary.
It is very convenient to fill out an application using a ready-made form on the FTS portal. The document will be generated automatically, the probability of an error when filling out the forms is minimal.
You can get the certificate in person or send a representative for it.
But the latter must have an official power of attorney in his hands.
Before opening your own business and starting to act at your own peril and risk, any person living in the territory of the Russian Federation: a citizen of the Russian Federation, a foreigner or a stateless person must go through the mandatory registration procedure and receive a document of title in his hands or in electronic format. Since 2013, this document was a well-known certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur on yellow stamped paper, however, by Order of the Federal Tax Service dated 12.09.16 No. MMB-7-14 / [email protected] this document was abolished, and now the financial authorities are not obliged to issue it to newly formed entrepreneurs.
It is not so difficult for an individual to register as an individual entrepreneur, if there is a desire. The state made the procedure as easy as possible, and also reduced to a minimum the package of documents that a citizen of the Russian Federation (a stateless person or a foreign citizen) must submit to the tax authority. It is enough to have with you the originals of the passport or other identifying document and the individual tax number (TIN), as well as the receipt of payment of the state duty, in order to fill out an application for registering an individual as an individual entrepreneur. There is no need to take out a loan for the formation of authorized capital or look for partners to open a company, an individual business does not require this.
At the same time, opening an IP is associated with a certain share of financial risk - an individual is liable for all his obligations, and even after going through the IP closure procedure. Debts are automatically transferred to the individual.
Also, the state prohibits a certain category of persons from opening their own individual business:
- citizens of the Russian Federation who are civil servants (just work at a state enterprise is not taken into account);
- individuals who provide legal / notary services to the population independently or as part of an association, on behalf of a company, etc.;
- persons who, by a court decision, are prohibited from engaging in entrepreneurship or certain types of activities according to OKVED;
- minors, unless they are recognized as fully capable and have the consent of their parents (guardians, trustees);
- persons who were declared bankrupt during the year;
- adults who have been declared legally incompetent by a court decision.
For persons who are on this list and have a false certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur, the state provides for civil and criminal liability.
In other cases, any potential businessman can submit documents in any way convenient for himself and receive an analogue of a certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur. If you submit documents in person or through a proxy, the term under the law should not exceed three working days.
When sending a package of documents by mail with an inventory of the contents, the period may drag on for several days, as well as when submitting through a multifunctional center.
The fastest and most convenient way is to register through the official portal of the Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service, when the user through his personal account sends the tax service an application filled out on the computer. But in order to use this service, you must have an electronic signature, without which the entrepreneur will not be able to continue working with the tax office online.
Bureaucratic delays and difficulties in filling out registration forms often deter potential businessmen with their length.
By removing the certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur from the list of mandatory documents, the state killed several birds with one stone:
- The waiting time for a response from the Federal Tax Service for a future individual entrepreneur is reduced.
- Government spending on the production of forms and their protection is reduced.
- Electronic document circulation is increasing, ineffective paper circulation is decreasing.
In 2019, any Internet user without contacting the tax authorities can check a counterparty (supplier, client or manufacturer) through a single register of legal entities and individuals, without leaving home.
To do this, just go to the official portal of the Federal Tax Service and enter the INN / ORGNIP or the full name and location of the desired organization into the search line. The procedure is completely free, and if the user entered the data correctly, he will receive information about in what year and by which tax authority the individual entrepreneur was registered, in which territory he carries out economic activities and in which areas of activity according to OKVED he has the right to work.
An extract similar to the electronic version can be issued by the tax service in several copies, but the process of obtaining documents will take several days.
One way or another, anyone can check the reliability of an individual entrepreneur, just knowing the registration data (OGRN, EGRIP or TIN) or the name. Fake testimony cannot fool anyone.
Individuals do not have the right to operate and carry out economic activities without passing official state registration, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation. If a person cannot act independently, he can certify his signature with a notary, and then the notary himself or an authorized person will carry out the registration procedure independently and receive documents.
According to the current legislation, the employees of the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate must send or hand over the "EGRIP Record Sheet" to the individual entrepreneur or the person who represents him, along with a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur with the tax and a notice of assignment of a TIN (if necessary).
The details of the certificate of state registration of each individual entrepreneur were completely transferred to the registration record sheet.
The Federal Tax Service must draw up and enter them into the electronic database without fail:
- Surname, name and patronymic of the entrepreneur.
- Main registration number (ORGNIP).
- Date of entry into USRIP.
- What tax authority and when the document was issued.
- Signature and initials of the person in charge.
The main visual difference between the documents is a two-column table, which is filled in depending on the purpose of the recipient's request. This table can include the passport data of the individual entrepreneur, the address of the registering authority, citizenship and information about the place of residence of an individual entrepreneur, valid codes according to OKVED, etc.
The record sheet of the Unified State Register in the form of P60009 is formed on plain A4 paper, and not on secure stamped paper, but has the same legal force as certificates of an individual entrepreneur issued before 2017.
It is not necessary to replace the old certificate with the USRIP sheet of sample 2019. Both documents are equivalent and can be used by an entrepreneur in the process of doing business and interacting with supervisory services. It is very easy and convenient to find the right individual and legal entity in the unified electronic register. Even if the individual entrepreneur has ceased to exist, the record of the registration and closure of the business is saved in the database and cannot be deleted.
In case of loss / damage / theft of the certificate, it will not be possible to restore the document to the Federal Tax Service, since the tax office is no longer obliged to issue a certificate. Instead, an individual entrepreneur can be at the tax service at the place of registration or through a personal account on the IFTS website.
Before going to the tax office, you must pay a state duty in the amount of 200 rubles, and also write a statement in two copies in free form. Regardless of whether a citizen asks for information about his or someone else's enterprise, he must indicate in the text of the application his passport data, the registration number of the individual entrepreneur and the number of copies of the extract. You will have to wait for a certificate within three working days.
The certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur is an important document in his commercial activity. It is he who confirms the fact of legalization by an individual of his business. However, in 2018, not all individual entrepreneurs may have such certificates. Let's figure out when the merchant receives it and whether you need to panic if, after registration, the tax office issued you some other documents.
What is a certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur
This is the name of a document on a government-issued letterhead that was issued by an individual entrepreneur after registration. It was it, and for those who already have it in their hands, it remains the main confirmation of their status.
In 2016, the Federal Tax Service (FTS) of Russia abolished this form, and in 2017 the innovations began to take effect. So the tax authorities simplified the registration of individual entrepreneurs and saved the budget costs for printing documentation. Since then, the status of an entrepreneur has been confirmed by the Record Sheet of the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (USRIP). Similar changes have taken place with the registration of legal entities. Now they are also issued not a certificate, but a Record Sheet of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRLE).
However, those who have a certificate do not need to run to the inspection to change it to a record sheet. For them, the available certificates remain valid, except for cases when the document is lost or requires replacement. But if you need to get it again or exchange it, in return they will not give a new certificate, but the USRIP Record Sheet or the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
Often, entrepreneurs believe that it is these documents that endow them with powers arising from the status of an individual entrepreneur. But this is not the case. The powers arise from the legal capacity of an entrepreneur, which he acquires from the moment of state registration. And the document only confirms this legal capacity.
What does the IP registration document look like and what mandatory details it contains
The certificate contains the following information:
- name of the document - Certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur;
- information on making an entry on the registration of an individual entrepreneur in USRIP;
- Full name IP;
- the date of the entry into the USRIP;
- record number in USRIP, also called OGRNIP;
- the name of the inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service (IFTS), where the state registration of the individual entrepreneur was carried out;
- position and signature with a transcript of the IFTS employee;
- IFTS stamp;
- series and number.
This is what a certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur looks like, which was issued until 2017 Are the certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur and the USRIP record sheet equal
Yes. An individual entrepreneur registered before 2017 can confirm his powers both with a certificate and with a USRIP record sheet. Those who became individual entrepreneurs later have no choice - only a record sheet.
In practice, the document is usually needed when drawing up contracts, additional agreements to them, acts, invoices and other documents, where it is necessary to indicate the information contained in it:
- FULL NAME.;
- OGRNIP;
- information about the IFTS, which registered the individual entrepreneur.
This is how the EGRIP Record Sheet on the state registration of an entrepreneur looks like To check the eligibility of an entrepreneur, you can do without these papers. It is enough to use the service "Business Risks: Check Yourself and Your Counterparty" on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia. All the necessary information about the individual entrepreneur is there. If he officially ceased activities, this will also be displayed.
Certificate of registration with the tax authority
This is a separate paper that is issued to all Russian taxpayers, including foreigners, stateless persons and non-residents of the Russian Federation, which may be Russians who spend more than 181 days a year abroad, entering into tax legal relations with the Russian state or already being in them.
For example, if a non-resident buys real estate on the territory of the Russian Federation or, as an individual, enters into a civil law contract with a Russian company, under which he operates remotely, physically remaining in the country of origin, he must pay taxes in Russia, and for this he must be tax registered. Moreover, first he must register with the tax authorities, and then acquire registered and taxable property, get a job, conclude a civil contract, etc. a counterparty under a civil law contract in the process of formalizing the relevant relationship.
This paper is commonly called a certificate of assignment of an individual taxpayer number (TIN).
When a citizen becomes an individual entrepreneur, he uses the same TIN that he previously received as an individual, he does not need a separate TIN and is not required to.
The TIN certificate contains the following data:
- Title of the document;
- Full name of the citizen;
- date of birth;
- Place of Birth;
- information about registration with the tax authority;
- date of registration;
- position and signature with a transcript of the IFTS employee indicating the number of the inspection where the registration was made;
- IFTS stamp;
- series and number.
Sample certificate of registration of an individual with a tax authority (on assignment of TIN) How to get an individual entrepreneur a certificate of registration and TIN assignment
Both documents are issued in such cases:
- Primarily during tax registration and state registration.
- Repeatedly in case of loss, deterioration or change of personal data.
If a citizen does not have a TIN, one must start by obtaining one.
To do this, it is enough to contact the tax office with the following set of documents:
- passport;
- application of the established form.
You do not need to pay anything upon the initial receipt of the TIN. The tax office should issue a ready-made certificate in five working days.
If a person does not have a TIN and he gets a job for the first time, the employer will take care of assigning a TIN to him. A certificate to such an employee will be issued in the accounting department after they receive it from the tax office.
To get a record sheet, you first need to become an entrepreneur. To do this, the following are submitted to the tax office:
- passport;
- application of the established form for registration of an individual entrepreneur;
- a receipt for payment of the state duty in the amount of 800 rubles.
You must apply strictly at the place of residence. Depending on the city, registration may be carried out by the same tax office where the person is registered, or by a separate inspection, as, for example, in Moscow.
For the author of these lines, the Russian TIN (initially I was a citizen of another state) was issued at the beginning of the 2000s at the place of my first job in Moscow. All the troubles were taken over by the employer, whose office was located in the center of the capital. But I was registered by the regional tax inspection at the place of my registration of my place of residence in the north-east of Moscow. But when I registered an individual entrepreneur in 2009, I had to contact the Moscow 46th tax office. In it, in 2016, I registered the termination of entrepreneurial activity. My wife, who also moved to Russia from the near abroad, received an INN at the tax office closest to her house at a time when she was only registered in the capital as a foreigner who had arrived in the Russian Federation for a short time.
Upon re-receipt of documents, you will have to pay a state fee, which is 300 rubles for a certificate of assignment of a TIN, 200 rubles. for the EGRIP Record Sheet upon submission of the document within five working days and 400 rubles. if an extract from USRIP is provided urgently - on the next business day.
In all cases, documents can be submitted to the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate in three ways:
- Apply personally.
- Through a trusted person.
- Send by mail.
Validity
Both documents are issued indefinitely, their validity period is unlimited.
However, their early loss of power is possible for the following reasons:
- Loss of a document.
- Making it unusable.
- Change of personal data contained in it.
In all these cases, you will have to get a new document. At the same time, the INN and OGRNIP will remain unchanged.
The situation is similar with the USRIP Record Sheet. 
Blank form of the EGRIP Record Sheet
The situation when it is not necessary to regularly renew the registration certificate of an individual entrepreneur or the USRIP Record Sheet is tempting to use these documents even after the state registration of the termination of entrepreneurial activity. After all, at the end of the procedure, they remain on hand. But it’s better not to be naughty. After all, it is not difficult to check the relevance of information about an individual entrepreneur using the already mentioned free service "Business Risks: Check Yourself and Your Counterparty" on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia. And data on the termination of business in this service is also available.
In 2014, I applied for a German visa. At the visa center of the German Embassy in the Russian Federation, I presented a certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur as confirmation of my ties with Russia. After the termination of entrepreneurial activity, the certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur, issued in 2009, remained in my hands. But I will not cheat with its help, in particular, when applying for the next Schengen visa. The prospect of being refused due to deception and becoming banned from entering Europe for several years does not smile at me.
Are duplicates issued when documents are lost
Yes, they are. To do this, as already mentioned, you must pay the state duty and apply to the Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service with a minimum package of documents: an application for the issuance of a new certificate of assignment of a TIN or a sheet of record of the USRIP, including instead of a lost or damaged certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur, and a passport.
Do I need to change when changing the last name and other personal data
According to the law, an entrepreneur should not contact the Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service and make changes to the USRIP when changing personal data:
- surname;
- patronymic;
- passport data;
- residence registration address.
This information is automatically transferred to the tax office from the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
The situation is similar with the tax accounting of individuals.
However, there are situations when the transfer of information is delayed. And for an individual entrepreneur, especially if he is active, it is of particular importance that all information in the USRIP is relevant and does not cause unnecessary questions.
Therefore, it will not be superfluous to insure yourself and request an extract from the USRIP to check if it contains outdated personal data. An electronic statement is enough, which can be obtained instantly and free of charge on the FTS website. If everything is in order, it is enough to receive a fresh record sheet with new data in the tax office. 
Waiting for an electronic extract from the USRIP upon request on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia
If the data in EGRIP is outdated, you can speed up their update yourself.
To do this, you need to submit to the tax office in person, through a representative with a power of attorney, by mail or through the FTS website, an application in the form of P24001 (download the form). The new USRIP Record Sheet will be ready within five days of its submission.
But a certificate of tax registration when changing the last name, first name, patronymic, gender, or all together, it is very desirable to obtain already with the new data - in order to avoid confusion. For this, an application form 2–2 Accounting (download the form) is submitted to the IFTS. A certificate with new personal data will be ready within the same five days, but if you're lucky, you can get it directly on the day of your personal appeal. You can submit documents and receive a ready-made certificate also by mail or through a representative with a power of attorney.
Any list of documents requested by a bank, counterparty or supplier from an individual entrepreneur must be present.
We will find out what is hidden behind this reduction a little below. The article will be useful for entrepreneurs and those who have plans to open their own business.
General information
In a simple sense, OGRNIP stands for the all-Russian state registration number of an individual entrepreneur.
Based on the decryption, it is clear that the number unique on the territory of Russia, and all entrepreneurs receive it when registering with the tax office.
It is a number that contains all the information about an individual entrepreneur. Knowing it, you can get almost all the information: from the place and year of registration of the individual entrepreneur and ending with the types of activities that the entrepreneur is engaged in. It is a kind of series and number of the passport of any organization on the territory of Russia.
That is why OGRNIP is indicated in the list of documents that are required when concluding contracts. Along with an individual tax number, it provides comprehensive information about the company, allowing you to avoid concluding an agreement with a non-existent company or an organization engaged in a completely different type of activity.
How to determine all the information, we will tell you a little below.
OGRNIP certificate
Sample Certificate of Registration of Individual Entrepreneur
Upon receipt of documents from the tax office, the newly-minted entrepreneur is given registration certificate with a specific series and number. OGRNIP is indicated on the registration certificate.
Until 2010, the following phrase was necessarily indicated in contracts between individual entrepreneurs: Individual entrepreneur Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich, acting on the basis of a certificate of state registration, series and number. Since 2010, the Supreme Arbitration Court has recognized the concepts of registration certificate and OGRNIP as identical.
The security paper on which the registration number is printed only confirms the fact that information about a particular entrepreneur has been entered into the all-Russian register, and OGRNIP is the very number under which this entry is in the register.
Decryption
OGRNP consists of 15 numbers, each of which carries a certain meaning.
The first number for an individual entrepreneur will always be 3. This is a sign of the organizational and legal form.
The next two digits indicate the year the registration certificate was issued. They can be 14 or 15 for newly registered entrepreneurs. If an individual entrepreneur has been on the market for a long time, then there will be more trust in him. 
Then there are two digits of the region in which the certificate was issued.
Making entries in the all-Russian register, that is, registration of an individual entrepreneur is carried out on the basis of a certain decision. His number will be in the next seven digits.
The last fifteenth digit was created specifically for tax authorities, and allows you to additionally verify the authenticity of the unique number.
Place and order of receipt
The future businessman receives a certificate of registration as an individual entrepreneur with a number engraved on it from his tax office on the day of registration. It is this document that is the main one for the individual entrepreneur. Registration is carried out at the place of residence entrepreneur.
Differences in unique numbers of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities
Legal entities receive OGRN upon registration. They have their own register of legal entities, which contains similar information about the company. In the case of an individual entrepreneur, at the end of the PSRN, they simply add two letters IP.
OGRN is a unique number, but belonging not to an individual entrepreneur, but to an organization.
In most contracts, the parties sometimes do not distinguish between OGRN and OGRNP, indicating their registration number at the end of the contract, regardless of the organizational and legal form.
Is it possible to make changes?
If the entrepreneur citizenship has changed, or he decided engage in another field and opened new economic activities, then he will need to make changes to the USRIP - the unified state register of individual entrepreneurs, which contains all the information about the individual entrepreneur under unique numbers.
To do this, you will need to collect a small list of documents, consisting of an application and a copy of those documents that served as the reason for making the changes.
After the end of the procedure, the USRIP record sheet will be changed, but the main registration number will remain unchanged in any case.
How to determine authenticity?
OGRNIP check on the website of the Federal Tax Service
This is where the same control number comes in handy, with which the tax service verifies the authenticity of the OGRNIP. First, discard the last digit, and then divide the fourteen-digit number by 13. Discard the remainder and multiply by 13. From the fourteen-digit number that was obtained at the very beginning, subtract what happened in the last step and check with that fifteenth check number. If they match, then the unique number is correct.
Difficulty understanding math procedures? There is an easier way. The tax service on its website launched the "Check the counterparty" service, where by specifying the OGRNIP or TIN you can immediately determine whether such an entrepreneur exists in reality or not. The main type of activity in which the entrepreneur is engaged is also indicated there.
conclusions
OGRNIP is the main document of an entrepreneur, which gives the right to conduct operational and economic activities. You can use it find out the scope of the individual entrepreneur and basic information.
In simple terms, OGRNIP is a unique number under which data about an entrepreneur are entered in the all-Russian register. This number does not change as long as the organization exists. As soon as an individual entrepreneur is liquidated and then re-registered, his number will be different.
Verification of the OGRNP serves as additional proof for counterparties that the entrepreneur really exists and is engaged in the specified activities. Checking in in the field of tender procurement where fly-by-night companies are often created. A thorough check allows you to cut off potentially unreliable counterparties.

How to find an individual entrepreneur by registration number is described in the following video:
Differences in the codes of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities, as well as their decoding, are discussed in the video:
How to check a counterparty for OGRNIP can be found in the following video:
After the procedure for registering a person directly as an individual entrepreneur is completed, he is issued an appropriate certificate of passing mandatory state registration. Why a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur is needed in entrepreneurship, under what conditions it is issued, what documents will be required to obtain it, is discussed somewhat below. In fact, the certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur is positioned as some confirmation of the completed process of registration of an individual and providing him with the opportunity to engage in entrepreneurial activity. The submitted document contains the individual OGRNIP number, as well as the date of registration. A document is issued as evidence of the P61001 form, it is used when filling out the reporting data. In the old sample, the OGRNIP number, however, the date of the state registration was not indicated. Recently, the number of the IP registration certificate is a mandatory requirement, therefore, there is an urgent need to indicate this information in the finished sample form.

When and by which authority a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur is issued
In this case, previously it was necessary for a person to obtain a certificate of registration before 07/04/2013, the issuance of a document was carried out in the following cases:
- In the process of forming an enterprise, creating a legal entity, and at the same time an individual entrepreneur.
- When there is a need to change key information about an individual entrepreneur, another legal entity.
- State bodies issued a certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur, if it became necessary to liquidate the activities of an individual, legal entity as such.
After the onset of 07/04/2013, a new order of the Federal Tax Service under the number ММВ-7-6 / 843, signed by the government on 11/13/2012, came into direct force. In particular, the document specifically regulated the approval of the new form, as well as the content of the document, which was now issued somewhat differently. In particular, the changes also affected the procedure for making an entry in the established Unified Register of Legal Entities (or the corresponding Unified Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, depending on the form of organization). The certificate of state registration as an individual entrepreneur is relevant only if, at the same time, an entry is made in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (which indicates the fact of the creation of a legal entity). A document is issued immediately after passing the established registration, the issuance is carried out by a representative of the tax service on the basis of an application submitted earlier by the entrepreneur and a set of documents.
How to get a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur
What does a person need to be able to obtain a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur? A package of documents is collected (set for citizens of the Russian Federation, non-residents). Documents are submitted in accordance with the established procedure for subsequent personal visits to the body of the Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service.
A statement from an individual regarding the need for the registration procedure and obtaining a certificate. This application is drawn up directly in the P21001 form, if there is such a possibility, the TIN number is also established.
It is mandatory to attach a notarized copy of the passport (and also show the original to the tax office).
The applicant will be required to provide the original receipt establishing the payment of a mandatory state fee. The fee is 800 Russian rubles.
Among the sets of documents, it is desirable (at the discretion of the applicant himself) to be notified of the person's transition to the simplified taxation system.
A document is provided that establishes the current address of the place of residence of an individual. In this capacity, a certificate of current registration, a house book, or a certificate in the form of F-3 can act. In this case, the original is presented directly upon receipt of the certificate, a copy is given to the tax office (notarization is a prerequisite).
Including such documents as a residence permit, a temporary residence permit (if we are talking about a foreigner), a passport of a citizen of another country (necessarily a notarized document with a preliminary translation) are attached.
