Why is it needed, where is the child’s application form issued, and what is important to consider to fill it out correctly?





Why does a child need SNILS?

It is important to understand what SNILS is and for what purposes it is used. This number can be assigned only once, and therefore in the future, in connection with a change of surname or loss of a document, a new certificate form is issued, but the numbers in it remain the same. There are 11 of them in total, the last 2 are the control number.

Why do you need SNILS? There are many situations when a child may need this information. Namely:

  1. Medical services - the document is useful for receiving money under compulsory medical insurance.
  2. Work – if the child decides to work part-time during the summer.
  3. Registration for kindergarten and school - children's institutions require you to provide this number.
  4. Using government services – even to register on the portal, you will need to provide this information.
  5. Registration of benefits and pensions - when contacting government agencies, without an insurance number it will not be possible to fill out all the necessary applications and questionnaires.

Why do you need SNILS for a child? Parents often have questions about how legal and justified the requirement of child care institutions to provide SNILS is. Of course, there is no such requirement in the current legislation, but part of the funds for a child’s stay in kindergarten and school is allocated by the state. Accordingly, receiving these funds without an insurance number is simply impossible for the institution. Therefore, such a condition put forward upon admission is quite appropriate.
