Today we will analyze an important concept hidden behind the abbreviation. What is OGRN? How is the letter combination deciphered and the code itself that it denotes? How to recognize it, how to check a counterparty using the OGRN? We'll talk about all this later.

Letter combination and concept

The OGRN abbreviation is deciphered as follows - the main state registration number. What does it mean? OGRN is the registration number of the entry on the creation of a legal entity, on its inclusion in the lists of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (Unified State Register of All Legal Entities in the Russian Federation).

This sequence of numbers is unique. Moreover, through simple arithmetic operations, you can verify the authenticity of the OGRN (we will talk about this later). Under the current accounting procedure, the repetition of this entry number in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities will happen at least in a century (because the number contains the last two digits of the year of registration of the company).

The process of state registration of legal entities (legal entities), the assignment of PSRN is regulated by the relevant Federal Law of the Russian Federation ("On state registration of legal entities").

Number decoding

This number is not randomcharacter combination. OGRN is 13 digits, the groups of which contain certain information about the legal entity.

The structure of the number is as follows: 1 22 33 44 55555

The first character (1) indicates that this registration number is related to codes adjacent to it:

• The main state registration number (OGRN itself) - numbers 1, 5. Can only be assigned to a legal entity.
• Another state number (GRN) that can determine an entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities - numbers 2, 6, 7, 8, 9.
• The main state number of the IP (individual entrepreneur) - OGRNIP. In this case, the first number will be 3.
• Another registration number of the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP). This is number 4.

The second group (22) is the two digits of the year (2018 - 18) in which the record of the legal entity was entered in the register.

The third group (33) is the number of the subject of the federation where the legal entity is registered. It is determined according to the list established by Art. 65 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

The fourth group (44) is the code of the branch of the Federal Tax Service that registered the legal entity.

Fifth group (55555) - a combination of numbers from 8th to 12th indicates the serial number of making this entry in the registry in the current year.

The last digit (6) PSRN is a control number. To check, the entire 12-digit combination (except for the last digit) of the number is divided by the 11th digit. The control number in this case must match the least significant digit of the remainder of the division. Exception: when the remainder is 10, the last digit of the OGRN is 0.

Such a check using a check numberhelps to make sure that the number in front of you is not fake, not generated from random numbers.

OGRN AND OGRNIP

The OGRN abbreviation is already clear to us. Close to her is OGRNIP. The letter combination hides the main state registration number of the individual entrepreneur. It is assigned to each entry in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs.

The procedure for assigning such numbers (OGRN, PSRNIP) has been relevant since 2002. Based on Decree of the Russian Government No. 438.

Thus, OGRN is the number of a legal entity (LLC, enterprise), and OGRNIP is an individual entrepreneur. The number of digits also distinguishes them. In OGRN - 13, in OGRNIP - 15.

Decoding OGRNIP

The combination of symbols in OGRNIP is also not meaningless. The structure of the number is as follows: 1 22 33 44 5555555 6.

The transcript is as follows:

• 1 - assignment of the record to the USRIP. It is always number 3.
• 22 - the last two digits of the year the entry was made in the register.
• 33 - the serial number of the region, republic, krai, AO, etc., on the territory of which the entrepreneur is registered (registered).
• 44 - tax office code.
• 5555555 (seven digits) - serial number of the registry entry for the current year.
• 6 - check digit.

To check its authenticity, the first 14 digits of the number (excluding the control number) are divided by the 13th character. For a non-false, real OGRNIP, the remainder of the division result will be equal to the control number.

Howfind out PSRN?

How is it possible to quickly find out the OGRN of an organization? The easiest way to do this is through the Internet. Two methods are known today:

1. Official website of the Federal Tax Service. On the main page of the portal, select the section you are interested in - "Legal entities", "Individual entrepreneurs". In the window that opens, click on "Check counterparties". The procedure can be performed by typing in the appropriate fields the name of the organization, its TIN and additional information offered to you by the system. As a result, you will receive complete information about the company (including PSRN), relevant for open access.
2. Refer to third-party portals like "Taxes.ru". However, we warn you that their database is based on information from the official portal of the Federal Tax Service. In addition, information may not be updated regularly, leaving you at risk of receiving outdated, inaccurate information.

Checking PSRN

As we have already determined, PSRN is a unique, non-repeating number that allows you to quickly identify the desired organization. In addition, it is this combination of numbers that helps to determine whether a particular company exists legally, whether it has the right to engage in a particular activity. Therefore, checking the OGRN is one of the important initial stages of working with counterparties.

So how do you know the authenticity of this registration number? There are three ways:

1. Send a formal request to the Federal Tax Service. There are two disadvantages: the action is paid (requires paymentstate duties) and long in time. But at the same time, and plus: you will receive the most correct and complete data.
2. Go to the official website of the Federal Tax Service. If the organization is registered, included in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, then information about it will be presented in the relevant open lists.
3. The authenticity of the number can also be verified using the arithmetic operations with the check digit, which we have already described.

Certificate of PSRN

One of the main founding documents of the organization is precisely the certificate confirming that the legal entity has PSRN. It determines the activities of the company, will be the fundamental basis for any other registration paper.

Certificate of OGRN (tax office - place of its initial issue) - a document with main sections:

• The registration number itself.
• Date of drawing up the document, making an entry about the legal entity in the register.
• Name of the registered organization - full and abbreviated.
• Information about the tax office that issued the certificate.

When the certificate is lost…

Since the organization is determined by PSRN, such a number is assigned to it once and forever. Why the loss of evidence is an unpleasant thing, but not terrible either. If this happens, you just need to order a duplicate of it.

The procedure begins with the payment of state duty - today it is about 800 rubles. It is much more reasonable to deduct funds from the company's current account - it significantly speeds upcheck. If the organization was registered before 2002 (when the OGRN were not yet introduced), then the amount of the fee is specified directly with the employees of the local tax office.

Requisites of the branch of the Federal Tax Service for transferring funds can be found in two ways:

1. Directly at the tax office.
2. On the official website of the Federal Tax Service in the "Payment details of your inspection" section.

To make a payment, a standard form is filled out:

• organization name;
• region code, locality;
• r/s;
• OKATO;
• BIC;
• TIN etc.

After the fee has been paid, an application is made in 2 copies addressed to the head of the local registration authority of the Federal Tax Service for the issuance of a duplicate certificate of assignment of the OGRN. The paper should indicate:

• Organization name.
• TIN.
• OGRN.
• Address.
• Contact number.

Such an application is submitted only in person. The representative of the organization must also have an identity document and a receipt of paid state duty.

Duplicate will be ready in just five business days. You can pick it up in person by presenting your passport. As you can see, the procedure is very simple, so trusting it to firms offering to restore this certificate for you is a waste of money.

OGRN - a unique number of each legal entity (OGRNIP - entrepreneur) in Russia. It helps to identify the company,make sure that its activities are legal.
