What is OGRN, how does it stand for, what is it for?

Before organizing their own business, many companies are faced with the need to register with public authorities. The first necessary document is the OGRN, that is, the main state registration number.

Relatively recently, amendments were added to the law, according to which the PSRN must be indicated in all documentation that the enterprise uses in its work. But if this number was indicated on the seal (stamp) of a legal entity, then he has the right not to reflect the OGRN in the documents. In this case, you need to put a stamp, indicate the identification number and the checkpoint previously issued by the tax service.

What is it and why is it needed

The main state registration number is the record number that is assigned to a legal entity on the basis of Federal Law No. 129 dated 08/08/2001 when submitting primary information. State registration of legal entities is obligatory on the basis of Art. 51 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. All registration information remains in the unified state register of legal entities. Based on clause 8 of the rules for maintaining the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the PSRN code is indicated in the certificate. In the future, the organization can use the number in various government documents, checkpoints, TIN.

With a known OGRN of a company, you can check the reality of its existence on the territory of Russia. It is enough to check the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and you can get data on the name of the company, information about the founders, legal address, etc. Using this number, one-day companies are calculated.

Where is issued

The local tax office is responsible for issuing the OGRN. The document is issued in the manner prescribed by law. Such a prop is a registration one, since it is simultaneously issued with the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

To obtain a number, a company must follow certain procedures and actions in accordance with federal law. First, a set of documents is collected and an application is drawn up in the form approved by the Russian government. All collected documents are sent to the tax office. After a certain period, the applicant receives a refusal or a certificate of PSRN. In this case, the reasons for the decision taken must be indicated in the refusal, and it can be appealed to the court.

Generally, registering a company goes smoothly, despite certain details that non-professionals may encounter.

The cost of the certificate corresponds to the amount of the state duty, which is charged once upon delivery of the documentation. In accordance with applicable laws, the amount of the service is 4000 rubles. The cost of re-issuing a certificate with the specified OGRN number is 800 rubles.

Required documents for registration

To obtain the OGRN, the applicant must pass. Now the easiest way to do this is online, for example, through the My Business service. When submitting documents to the IFTS, you need to collect:

  • application for registration;
  • charter;
  • receipt of payment of state duty;
  • approved decision to form a company;
  • a letter of guarantee from the owner of the premises where the company will be registered.

Number decoding

Decryption will provide important information about the company. The number consists of 13 digits. Each number has a specific meaning and reveals the necessary information.

Consider the sequence of decoding the number SGGKKNNHHHHHHH, where:

  • C indicates ownership of the registration number. If C is equal to 1 or 5, then we are talking about the company and the OGRN number. If C is equal to 3, then in this case the company must issue (registration number of an individual entrepreneur);
  • YY - determines the year of registration of the company (the last two digits from the date of registration);
  • KK - code of the Russian subject, which corresponds to the list of regions;
  • HH - code of the tax authority;
  • ХХХХХ - registration number;
  • H is the check number needed for validation. The first 12 numbers are summed up and divided by 11. Instead of the 13th number, the resulting remainder is entered. If it is equal to 10, then 0 is entered instead of the last value.

From the description of the code, it becomes clear that there are no two identical values.

What is in the certificate

Due to the fact that the company receives the OGRN after its registration, the certificate is the main constituent documentation. Based on the entry from the Unified State Register, other entries are made and documents are issued for the normal activities of the organization. Therefore, if the original is lost, it is important to restore a duplicate of the OGRN.

Checking organizations

OGRN allows you to find a company to check various data about it. This is very important in our time, when fraudsters are at work, causing large losses to companies.

Using the OGRN, you can identify criminals and get correct information about the organization. For example, about the subject of Russia where it was registered, about the time the legal entity was formed, the code of the tax inspectorate, etc.

On the personal website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia, you can check any company. Such a service is a directory of contractors. From here you can get the following information:

  • registration data;
  • legal address of the company;
  • data on changes made to the unified state register of legal entities;
  • information about the head and founders of the company.

That is, using this code, you can get maximum information about the activities of the counterparty. With regular checks, the company protects itself from cooperation with "fly-by-night firms".

One of the options for checking through a special system is presented in the video:

OGRN for IP

PSRN is the number of the record on the organization of a legal entity, which is recorded in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. Therefore, the IP does not have this number, but the entrepreneur has the main state registration number of the OGRNIP.

Such details have certain differences, the main of which is related to the number of digits (OGRN has 13 of them, and OGRNIP has 15). OGRNIP is also reflected in the certificate that the IP receives upon registration.

Getting a duplicate number

Certificates of OGRNIP and OGRN are registration documents of an entrepreneur or company, which may be lost for various reasons. For this, a number recovery process is provided.

To make a duplicate, the applicant must personally apply to the tax authority at the place of registration and draw up an application. This may be the head of the organization or a trusted person with a passport. The application contains the following information:

  • The name of the company;
  • its details (KPP, TIN and OGRN);
  • date of entry in the unified state register of legal entities;
  • the reason for issuing a duplicate certificate.

In addition to the application, you must provide a receipt for payment of the state fee. Its value will be equal to 20% of the cost for registration of a legal entity.

According to the same scheme, an individual entrepreneur can apply for the restoration of the OGRNIP. An individual will need to submit an application with information about the company and a passport to the tax authority. You also need to pay a state duty in the amount of 20% of the payment for state registration.

Certificates are important documents for individuals and legal entities, the numbers of which contain important information. Each company should have an individual number with a multifunctional purpose and application.
