Leonid Nekrasov

The company, represented by consultant Mikhail, does the impossible! Acceleration of accreditation in less than 1 hour! Payment upon delivery of the service. I thought this wouldn't happen. With full responsibility, I can advise you to contact the Center for Issuing Electronic Signatures.

And before sending the documents in the taxpayer’s personal account, they entered certificate password electronic signature, or, in simple terms, they signed our “tolmuts” with an electronic signature.

Somehow I lost sight of the fact that not everyone knows what it is. The topic is useful both for assistance in creating an electronic signature in your personal taxpayer account and for general education. Considering that many of my readers are pensioners - people of advanced age and not confident enough in communicating with, “I’ll sort everything out.”

First of all, let's figure out why an electronic signature is needed and what the password for the certificate is. Everything is simple here, just like a simple handwritten signature, it is needed to give any document legal force. But the simple one can be checked against the one in the passport and, at worst, a graphological examination of its authenticity can be carried out. But how to verify and check the electronic one? Everything is much more complicated here. But first, about the types and types.

Types and types of electronic signatures

I’ll say right away that there are not a great many species, but only two:

  • simple electronic signature;
  • reinforced;

Simple - this is a login and password. It confirms that it was sent by their owner. And nothing more. We are interested in the reinforced one. In addition to identifying the sender, it also confirms that the document has not been changed since signing and is equivalent to a piece of paper signed with a pen.

There are also two types of reinforced ones:

  • qualified electronic signature;
  • unskilled;

The tax office creates an unqualified enhanced electronic signature and it can be used in document flow only within the framework of the Federal Tax Service! But the use of a qualified signature is much wider, but to obtain it you must personally contact a certification center accredited by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia. And this service is paid.

If you do purchase it, then you will have the opportunity to register with the tax authorities without going through the ordeal. And then log in using this very signature instead of your login and password when choosing this authorization method. By the way, and in too. And of course, sign everything possible for her electronic documents, including the tax office, of course.

This is followed by a general education program. If you are not interested in it, you can skip this section and scroll down. It already describes how to create an electronic signature in a taxpayer’s personal account and also about the password for the certificate. And I ask experts in the field of cryptography not to judge me harshly for some inaccuracies and simplifications in this opus.

Mechanism for sending documents signed with an enhanced electronic signature

It would be more correct to use the word algorithm instead of mechanism. But I will not frighten the main part of our audience - pensermen - with “abstruse” words. And don’t be alarmed, I’ll explain everything. So, how, for example, does Comrade Ivanov hand over signed documents to the Tax Office? Moreover, so that no one can read and replace them. In scientific language something like this:

First, Ivanov and the Tax Office generate public and private encryption keys. Then they exchange open ones among themselves. At the next stage:

  1. Ivanov encrypts the “message” with his private key and, as a result, it is signed.
  2. Next, Ivanov encrypts with the public key, which was previously sent to him by the Tax Service, what happened after completing point 1. Now no one outside will be able to read anything, even if they intercept it.
  3. After the Tax Service has received Ivanov’s “message”, it first decrypts it with its private key and sees Ivanov’s encrypted document there.
  4. This is where the Tax Office deciphers it using public key conveyed to her by Ivanov at the very beginning. As a result, Ivanov’s signature is verified.

And in the “worker-peasant” language of “appearances and passwords” it will be approximately similar to the following event:

First, Ivanov prepares a suitcase with a spare key and a paper with his own signed details, and a tax box also with a spare key. They go to the post office and send parcels to each other. Ivanov puts the key to the suitcase in a parcel post, and a paper with his details in a valuable letter and sends it separately. Tax office - a box by parcel and a parcel with one key, also separately.

Ivanov, having received the parcel and parcel, hides, for example, his signed document in a box and closes it with the key from the received parcel. He puts this secret box in his suitcase and also closes it with his own key. And then he sends this “matryoshka” by parcel to the Tax Office. He keeps the keys to the box and suitcase.

Why it is better to choose to store the key in the Russian Federal Tax Service system, I think you will not have any questions. If you have read the explanations, you will have noticed the undeniable advantages of this particular option.

After sending the request, a waiting window with a spinning circle appears. Sometimes it can linger for quite some time long time:

Then a window will appear informing you that the certificate has been successfully issued. Here you can open a window with your certificate by clicking on the “View certificate” link:


in the window that pops up after this, enter the password that you already entered twice at the very beginning and the “Next” button:


And in the next window, admire your certificate, look at these same details that are verified by the tax office when they receive documents from you. It looks something like this:


Error generating ES certificate

In the first time after the launch of the tax website, this was a fairly common occurrence. Then everything seemed to “settle down.” Now such “glitches” have begun to arise again. For example, I find out about this by looking at the traffic statistics of this blog. It is increasing sharply. And all due to the article you are reading now.

In this regard, I can only say that the issue here is most likely not with you or the password, but with the overload of the Federal Tax Service portal. This is especially evident in last days filing tax returns of organizations and other tax payments individuals. The lion's share of them usually occurs in the first quarter, that is, the beginning of the year.

So if the message “Error generating electronic signature certificate” appears on your monitor, don’t be too upset. Be patient and try this operation again. Better yet, come back to this another day. Perhaps the “glitches” will end by this time and you will be lucky.

What to do if you have forgotten the password to access the electronic signature verification key certificate

Don't be upset. Nothing wrong with that. This is not a password from the taxpayer’s personal account, if lost, you will have to visit the Federal Tax Service again. This is the case if you did not bother to set a code word to restore it by e-mail.

Everything is much simpler here. Pay attention to the bottom window there is a link “Revoke the current certificate”. Feel free to click on it and then create new certificate and you will have New Password:


of your time and in terms of cost savings. I'm not even talking about the fact that this is a more progressive stage in managing your affairs. And don’t be upset if you have lost the password to your digital signature certificate, you can always recover it.

Good luck to you! And see you soon on the pages of the PenserMan blog.

1. What is an electronic signature?

An electronic signature (electronic digital signature) is a requisite of an electronic document that makes it possible to establish the absence of distortion of information in an electronic document from the moment of its signing and to verify that the signature belongs to the owner of the electronic signature key certificate. The value of the attribute is obtained as a result of cryptographic transformation of information using the private signature key. An electronic signature is analogous to a handwritten signature. The use of electronic signatures in Russia is regulated by Federal Law No. 63-FZ of April 6, 2011.

The code word cannot be recovered. We cannot send it to your email address or tell you over the phone. To change the code word, you need to come to one of our offices in person. Check again how you enter your code word. It must be entered exactly as you wrote it in the Client Questionnaire. Check the case of letters (small or capital) and keyboard layout (input language, etc.).

7. Computer requirements for signing documents with an electronic signature

On your computer, a component must be installed and enabled in the browser settings - Java Virtual Machine (JVM, virtual Java machine), which is needed to launch and operate applets (downloadable software modules) for generating keys and electronically signing documents.

With Microsoft Browser Internet Explorer Usually a Java machine is supplied from Microsoft - Microsoft VM. You can also install a similar component from SUN (SUN Java Virtual Machine browser plug-in), which can be downloaded from the SUN website.

After downloading the file double click mouse start the installation of the component. After the component is installed, you must restart your computer.

The service works correctly with components 3 of Microsoft VM version 5.0 and higher, as well as Sun Java browser plug-in version 1.4.2_03 and higher, 1.5.0 and higher, 1.6.0 and higher.

View information about installed component Java VM (and also enable/disable it) can be in the browser menu “Tools” -> “Internet Options” on the “Advanced” tab, in the window that opens, look for the section about VM (Microsoft VM or Java (Sun)).

The version of the Microsoft VM component can be viewed in the menu “View” -> “Java language window” (Java console), if the “Java console enabled” option is enabled on the “Advanced” tab.

If you have both Microsoft VM and Sun Java plug-in installed and enabled in your browser, then one of them must be disabled.

If you use a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer, we recommend choosing a browser installation package with Java or additionally installing a Java machine from Sun.

For users operating system Linux, we recommend installing a Java machine from Sun version no lower than 1.5.0, which can be downloaded from

Instructions for losing your key or password
(key replacement)

    If you lose an electronic signature key (hereinafter referred to as ES) protection device (smart card or USB token), you must immediately contact the bank service technical support by phone 8-800-100-67-00, or by local telephone numbers of your branch. To temporarily block an ES key, you must name the lock word specified at the time of registration in the Client-Bank system. Blocking using a block word is carried out no later than until the next business day.

You need to know that the password consists of at least 6 characters and is sensitive to layout and case (size of letters). You should try entering the password on a different keyboard layout and/or with the “Caps Lock” key enabled, that is, try 4 possible options layouts and letter sizes. There are programs that automatically switch the keyboard layout (Punto Switcher and so on), you need to make sure that they do not switch the layout when you enter the password. If you cannot remember the password, you need to change the ES key;

    If the ES key was blocked after 15 unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, you need to change the ES key;

    If the digital security device was protected by a PIN code and the PIN code is lost, you must purchase a new digital security device and obtain a new digital key on it.

Changing the key - payable service! You can find out about tariffs on the bank's website www. lanta. ru and by calling your department.
