For more than ten years now, I have been working as an accountant in a commercial company and have often encountered the fact that my colleagues do not understand what is at stake when they need to enter the code of a document - a Russian passport for the tax office. In fact, this is a fairly simple action, and you just need to have an idea of the concept itself.
Today I will tell you what the passport code of a citizen of the Russian Federation is, where and how it needs to be entered into various reports and declarations for the Federal Tax Service, and we will also look in detail at what encoding is in effect today for identification documents of the applying citizen.
Coding for filling out tax papers
When a person submits any official document, such as an application or declaration, to the Federal Tax Service, he indicates in it information proving his identity.
At the same time, the Federal Tax Service has created an automated system for processing requests, that is, an application or declaration is drawn up on a special form, which is read by special programs. In such a situation, all the information that is possible will be encoded as much as possible to simplify reading and speed up review. Therefore, on the approved forms there is a special column - the code of the type of identity document; the passport has code 21.
The encryption system for types of papers is used when submitting almost all applications and declarations to the tax office. Moreover, the forms of these statements and declarations, as a rule, are established by specially issued acts of the Federal Tax Service. Along with the forms of applications and declarations, such acts also contain lists of numerical designations of various papers.
In what case are passport type codes used by federal subjects?
A few words should be said about how documents are codified by region. This will allow you to determine in which region or region of the country a civil passport or other form was issued.
A designation such as a document series can help with this. On the second and third pages the designation is made in red, and on the rest it is made using perforation.
As we have already noted, the first two digits indicate the region where the document was issued, but the second two digits indicate the year the passport was issued.
To understand which region your passport belongs to, you can use a standard table that can be found on the Internet.
As an example, here are just some notations:
- 84 - Altai Republic.
- 27 - Kaliningrad region.
- 46 - Moscow region.
- 77 - Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
- 33 – Kirov region.
In other words, each region has its own two-digit designation, which is subsequently used to designate the series in the passport. As for the passport number, it does not contain any special information and is an individual characteristic.
Where to get official numeric designations
The necessary codes are established by orders of the Federal Tax Service regulating the procedure for filling out certain types of official papers. For example, among the acts issued by tax authorities, where the passport code is located:
- Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated October 15, 2020 No. ED-7-11/ regulates the procedure for filling out the 6-NDFL declaration, ID codes are contained in Appendix No. 5 to this order;
- Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated November 14, 2017 No. ММВ-7-21/ regulates the filling out of an application for benefits on a number of taxes, the document type code for the tax office, including the Russian Federation passport, is contained in Appendix No. 2 to it.
IMPORTANT!
Lists from different acts differ from each other in the number of positions, but the same certificates have the same code in them, in particular, the code of a foreign passport for the tax office is always 10, a military ID - 07, a residence permit - 12, a certificate of birth - 03, and temporary residence permit - 15.
Therefore, to determine what code a Russian citizen’s passport has, it is enough to contact any of them, it is the same everywhere - 21.

Document code when applying to the Russian pension fund
There are situations in which it is required to provide reports to the pension fund. Typically, this is a type of pension statement. How to enter the names of documents on forms?
When filling out forms at the specified organization, you will also need to know the ID code. If you do not know the designated code, you will have to retake the documents several times. And again, as a result, a lot of wasted time resources.
In 2013, the pension fund posted a message about this, with the requirement and rules for applying the code. The message was posted on the organization's website. On this portal you can familiarize yourself in detail with the requirements of the organization.
The use of digital designation allows you to reduce labor costs when processing information. Labor costs are reduced by reducing the number of characters. Much less time is spent on processing papers filled out using this method.
This message also provides information about other types of codes. It will be useful to familiarize yourself with all types. This can be done by visiting the site.
List of ciphers
One of the acts where the passport code is written is the order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated April 10, 2017 No. ММВ-7-21/. Appendix No. 4 to it contains a table containing not only the name of the identity cards and their numerical designations, but also the abbreviated name and template of the series and number. For example, in accordance with it, the document code for a passport of a foreign citizen for the tax office is 10, the abbreviated name is “PasIns”, the series and number template is SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, the birth certificate, whose code is 03, has the abbreviated name “SvdRzhd” and the series and number template - SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, military ID details: numerical designation - 07, abbreviated name "VeBil" and series and number template - BB 0999999.
It also contains ciphers for many other papers, including, for example:
Numerical designation | Name |
13 | Refugee ID |
14 | Temporary identity card of a citizen of the Russian Federation |
18 | Certificate of temporary asylum on the territory of the Russian Federation |
23 | Birth certificate issued by an authorized body of a foreign state |
Sample where the code fits in
One of the applications, the form of which requires an identification card code, is an individual’s application for registration with the Federal Tax Service. After such registration, the person is issued his personal taxpayer identification number - TIN. The application form was approved by order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 05/08/2020 No. ED-7-14/, Appendix No. 1 to this order contains the passport code for the TIN, it is the same - 21.
