How many digits are in the OGRN?

In the Russian Federation, the tax authorities exercise clear control over the activities of persons involved in entrepreneurship.

According to the legislation of our country, every citizen who decides to organize his own business is obliged to apply to IFTS to formalize their activities in a general manner.

All the necessary data about the founders and their company are stored in special databases. For the purpose of more convenient and, the company is assigned a unique registration code. It was introduced back in the summer of 2002, and entrepreneurs immediately appreciated the innovation of the Government of the Russian Federation.

What is OGRN?

The main State Registration Number is a coded code of 13 or 15 digits, which is assigned to a legal entity during its registration, on the basis of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation. In the certificate, it will be indicated in a separate column.

It is needed for:

  • Quick search for an entrepreneur in the tax base;
  • To identify fraudsters and false entrepreneurs by consumers;
  • To restore documents for the enterprise;

I would like to note point 2: "identification of fraudsters and false entrepreneurs." Everyone should know that the OGRN is public. It is indicated without fail on the seal of the enterprise.

If you doubt the legality of the organization and its real existence, you can refer to the official website of the Federal Tax Service. By indicating the numbers on the print, the database will give a result about the existence of this company and the nature of its activities.

Where to get OGRN?

The code, as already noted, is assigned during the registration process. In turn, to register a business, you will need to contact the tax office, at your place of residence (the founder of the company).

Documents to be submitted to the inspection:

  • Passport;
  • Application for state registration of entrepreneurial activity;
  • Protocol of founders;
  • Charter;
  • Receipt confirming payment of the established fee;

The application for registration is filled out in the form N P11001.

This statement will carry all the primary data about the enterprise being created:

  • Name in full and short form;
  • Office address;
  • Information about the authorized capital;
  • Information about the founders.

If all the necessary papers were drawn up correctly, then after 5 days, you will receive the following documents from the tax office:

  • Registration certificate;
  • Approved by the registration authorities, the charter of the enterprise;
  • List of Unified State Register of Legal Entities;

After receiving the documents, you can carry out your work within the limits established by the law of the Russian Federation and acquire the official status of an entrepreneur.

Types of OGRN

When the question concerns the number of OGRN numbers that belonged, disagreements sometimes arise here.

Some argue that 13, while others, showing evidence of their activities, prove that 15. In fact, everyone has the truth.

There are two types of OGRN:

  • For legal entities;
  • For individual entrepreneurs;

In turn, for legal entities, it has a thirteen-digit code, and for individual entrepreneurs, it corresponds to 15 digits. For individual entrepreneurs, the abbreviation looks like OGRNIP.

However, the assignment procedure and the semantic load on both varieties are actually the same.

8,9,10,11,12 -th character "ХХХХХ" number of the entry in the register;

The 13th character "H" is set by dividing the resulting number by 11. The least significant digit of the remainder of the division is made into the record. It is called a check number;

The fifteen-digit code has the same decoding, but still differs somewhat in sequence. General view of OGRNIP - SGGKKNNHHHHHHHH.

To obtain the control number, the resulting value is divided by 13, taking the total, as well as the least significant digit of the remainder of the division.

Obtaining information about the activities of the organization through the OGRN

As noted earlier, on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia, you can confirm or deny the existence of the organization. To obtain detailed information, you will need an extract from the register of the tax office.

It can be received by the general director of the enterprise, or a person who has a power of attorney from him. At the same time, it is provided upon a personal visit to the tax office and in the presence of a passport confirming the identity of the director or authorized representative.

The extract contains the following information:

  • OKVED;
  • Information about the authorized capital;
  • Share ownership of the founders;
  • Availability of licenses and other work permits;

As a rule, an extract is used for investors as a document confirming the integrity of the entrepreneur and his performance. It is ready in 3-4 days after ordering.

To order it, now you do not have to go to the tax office. It is enough to fill in some data on the site and on the specified date, pick up the document. Also, in order to save time, there is an electronic record and, having arrived at the specified hour, you will be provided with an extract out of the general queue.

Thanks to this individual code, many questions and problems began to be resolved faster. OGRN facilitates the collection and processing of data on all entrepreneurs in the country, thereby controlling their activities, compliance with the rules and regulations of doing business, as well as checking the responsibility imposed on them when registering a legal entity.

Using a computer and other devices that allow access to the global network, searching for the necessary information about the organization of interest can take no more than 5 minutes.
