What documents are needed for employment

Work searches
No supporting documents are required at this step.

To register on a job search site and post a resume, you do not need to specify either passport data or TIN - nothing like that. If the portal administration insists on providing information confirming the identity (for example, a scan of a passport), most likely you have chosen not the most reliable resource.

Upon request, the applicant has the right to attach scanned copies of diplomas to the resume, but this is not necessary.

Job interview
It is at this stage of employment that most of the fraudulent labor market schemes are implemented.

Typically, a candidate does not need to have any documents with him — not even a printed resume. The exception is specially protected and strategic objects - here they have the right to ask for a passport for admission to the checkpoint, no more.

In no case do not indicate personal data in the applicant's questionnaire, which is often offered to fill out before the interview by scam employers. Read more about the possible ways to cheat job seekers here.

If the HR specialist asks for confirmation of education, that is, to bring a diploma - remember, a scanned copy will be enough.

Going to work
For official employment requires a whole set of original documents, which varies depending on the scope of employment and citizenship of the employee. And now in more detail.

Passport
When applying for a job, you must provide the main civil document. If for any reason there is no passport, you can replace it with another document with a photograph and identification information. For example, a passport or driver’s license is also suitable.

TIN
According to the law of the Russian Federation, a citizen who is not an individual entrepreneur is not required to issue an individual taxpayer number. Therefore, the employer cannot claim the TIN from the employee.

Pension Certificate

At primary employment, registration of the state pension insurance certificate is the concern of the employer. In another case, the employee already has this document in his hands.

Employment history
According to Article 66 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, every employee must have a work record, provided that this place of employment is the main one and he worked for more than 5 days. However, the employer does not have the right to demand a work book if the employee works part-time.

A work book can be bought at any print booth.

Diplomas and certificates of education
Originals of diplomas are necessary to confirm narrow-profile professions and special skills. When employment is not a specialty - documents confirming competence are not needed.

Military accounting
For official employment, military-liable citizens, in Russia these are men aged 18 to 27 years, must provide the employer with military registration documents.

Medical book
A medical book is a binding document only in several areas of activity, namely, in trade, education, medicine and in the field of catering. In other cases, this document is not needed.

The medical book is issued by the Center for State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance. The lack of a document when applying for a job in the above areas may cause the candidate to refuse.
