What is a PINFL and why does every shareholder need one?

Question

Accepted Answer

Uzbekistan’s personal identification number — the registry, the tax office and the bank know people by it. PINFL The single identifier of an individual — across state, banking, social and other services alike. Tax Taxpayer records run on it — the tax authorities keep their register of individuals by PINFL. Everyone Shareholders and the director alike — each person on the company’s record is entered by PINFL. Free No charge is levied for issuing one — stated in the regulation itself, for every category of applicant. Remote Obtainable through a representative — a foreigner acting through an authorised representative is expressly excused from appearing. The PINFL is Uzbekistan’s personal identification number, and the regulation that governs it makes it the single identifier of an individual in the provision of state, banking, social and other services — taxpayer accounting in the tax authorities included. The company registry and the tax authority therefore record every shareholder and the director by it, so each person connected to a new company acquires one before or at registration. For a foreign founder it is obtained under the power of attorney. The regulation lists the foreigner who carries on activity in Uzbekistan through an authorised representative as its own category of applicant, sets out the four documents that route travels with, and excuses exactly that category from the personal appearance and the fingerprints it requires of everyone else. No charge is levied for the number in any case.
