Current domestic legislation provides for the mandatory receipt of a license to provide educational services. Particular attention is paid to this type of training as additional education. There are several features that should be taken into account in cases where an organization plans to provide such services. They concern both the list of documents required for a license for educational activities and the requirements for the organization itself.

If you need a turnkey educational license without unnecessary bureaucracy, then order its registration from professionals.

Regulatory acts defining the list of documents for obtaining a license for educational activities

The basic requirements and conditions for obtaining a license for educational activities, including the list of documents required for this, are contained in the following regulations:

  • Law No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”, dated December 29, 2012;
  • Law No. 99-FZ “On Licensing...”, issued on May 4, 2011;
  • Decree of the Government of Russia No. 966, signed on October 28, 2013.

It should be noted that both of these Federal laws were developed and put into effect relatively recently. This indicates that it is in Lately has been significantly changed the legislative framework regulating the activity in question.

In fact, since the beginning of 2013, new rules for the provision of educational services have been in force, which were then adjusted by the Resolution of the Russian Cabinet of Ministers, which was issued somewhat later. It describes in detail the basic requirements for organizations that plan to provide services in the field of additional education, and a list of documents required to obtain a license for educational activities.

Necessary conditions and documents for licensing of additional education

In order to be able to provide additional education services, two basic conditions must be met:

  1. Register as a non-profit organization.
  2. Prepare a list of necessary documents and obtain a license for educational activities.

It is quite logical to consider each of these conditions separately.

Registration of a non-profit organization

Current legislation allows the provision of services in the field of additional education only from outside non-profit organizations(NPO). NPO is entity, created not for the purpose of making a profit (as commercial organization), and having the task of implementing some social function related to education (as in this case), culture, health, law enforcement or other similar purposes. This requirement for an institution planning to provide additional education services is explained by the fact that this particular type educational activities is most focused on satisfying non-material human needs, related mainly to the spiritual sphere.

The most common types of NPOs are:

  • public or religious organization;
  • non-commercial partnership;
  • public fund;
  • government corporation;
  • state-financed organization;
  • autonomous non-profit organization.

It is the last two organizational and legal forms that are most often used in cases where additional education services are provided.

List of documents required for licensing of additional education

One of the main requirements that must be fulfilled when obtaining an educational license is the preparation of documents, the list of which is contained in the above regulations. They are submitted to the appropriate body under the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, namely Federal service for supervision (Rosobrnadzor). The list of documents clearly shows what requirements are imposed on the organization to obtain a license for educational activities.

Application for a license. The form of the application form, which is submitted to Rosobrnadzor, is determined by the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Education on the basis general rules and the requirements contained in the federal legislative documents specified in the first section of the article. The application form and a sample of how to fill it out are as follows.

Filling out the application is not particularly difficult. Almost all the information required for this is contained in the accompanying educational license documents listed below. Particular attention should be paid to indicating all additional education programs that the organization plans to provide. Only in this case does such activity become legal.

A mandatory condition for the consideration of the application and the documents attached to it is the payment of the state fee. An indication of its implementation must be contained in the application. In addition, it is also necessary to post possible options for contacting the applicant’s supervisor or responsible person. This may be necessary if questions arise or the list of submitted documents needs to be finalized.

Charter documents of the organization and certificates of registration and registration. These documents are included in the standard package, which is drawn up almost always, both when obtaining any licenses or permits, and when registering transactions and other similar operations carried out by a legal entity. It is necessary to take into account that the documents must be in the form of notarized copies.

Certificate of ownership or lease of educational premises.

Curricula and programs. These documents must comply with departmental requirements and be approved by the manager. In addition, their terms, duration and teachers are usually also indicated, for each of which information about qualifications (with copies of diplomas attached) and previous labor activity(data confirmed by copies of work records).

Documentationconfirming compliance with legal requirements for obtaining an educational license:

  • certificate of material and technical equipment;
  • sanitary certificate on the suitability of the premises (issued by Rospotrebnadzor);
  • certificate of availability necessary conditions for organizing meals for students and staff educational institution, as well as protecting their health (if necessary);
  • conclusion of the State Fire Inspectorate.

Documents confirming payment of the state duty.

A list of all submitted documents.

After receiving the specified list of documents, the territorial body of Rosobrnadzor, within 60 days, is obliged to either issue a license to conduct educational activities or send the applicant a reasoned refusal.

A license is a permit to carry out a specific type of activity, which is issued by a special licensing authority. To obtain a license, the applicant must meet certain requirements and pay a state fee.

Who needs to get a license?

In Article 12 of the Law "On Licensing individual species activities" dated 05/04/2011 No. 99-FZ provides a list of types of activities for which licenses are required. There are 51 in total, among them:

  • activities related to encryption and information security;

You can familiarize yourself with the requirements for issuing licenses for your type of activity by contacting the appropriate licensing authority. We will consider the requirements for obtaining a license to sell alcohol below in a separate section.

Documents for obtaining a license

An application for a license and a package of supporting documents specified in Art. 13 of the law of May 4, 2011 No. 99-FZ. Considering that types of activities controlled by different services are subject to licensing, the forms of such applications will differ. As an example, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the application for a license for passenger road transport.

The application must indicate the name, legal form, and location of the applicant; licensed type of activity; TIN; extract data from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs or the Unified State Register of Legal Entities; information about payment of state duty.

In addition to the application, copies of documents are submitted, the list of which is determined by the regulations on licensing a specific type of activity and which indicate the applicant’s compliance with licensing requirements, as well as a list of all documents. You need to find out exactly what documents are needed from the licensing authority or find the relevant legal act yourself.

The need to submit notarized documents constituent documents repealed by the law of October 14, 2014 No. 307-FZ, so if such copies are required from you (and they are still specified in some Administrative Regulations for obtaining licenses), you can refuse to fulfill such a requirement, referring to this law.

The list of information indicated in the application and the list of documents attached to it is exhaustive (Article 13 (4) of Law No. 99-FZ dated May 4, 2011), that is, you should not be required to provide other documents.

How much does a license cost?

The amount of the state fee for a license is established by Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The article is very long, so we’ll tell you where to look. We find paragraph 1, subparagraph 92. Amount of state duty is 7,500 rubles for all types of licensed activities, with the exception of:

  • banking operations (0.1% of the authorized capital, but not more than 500 thousand rubles);
  • production, storage, purchase, supply of ethyl alcohol and alcoholic products (from 800 thousand to 9.5 million rubles);
  • retail sale of alcoholic beverages - 65 thousand rubles for each year of license validity;
  • entrepreneurial activity on management apartment buildings- 30 thousand rubles.

Draw your attention to - The state duty is paid once for the entire validity period of the license. IN general case The license term is not limited, but for some types of activities it is established (with the possibility of extension), for example, the term of an alcohol license should not exceed five years.

If a license is refused state duty is not refundable. In 2013, the Constitutional Court considered a case regarding the return of 40 thousand rubles to the applicant in connection with the refusal to issue a license for the retail sale of alcohol (Resolution of the Constitutional Court of May 23, 2013 No. 11-P). Even the judges themselves did not agree on this issue; one of them expressed a dissenting opinion, the essence of which was “Formally correct, but in essence it is a mockery.” Based on this, before paying for a license, we recommend that you first contact the relevant licensing authority to ensure that you can comply necessary requirements to receive it.

How to get a license?

After you have found the contacts of the licensing authority, prepared Required documents and have paid the state fee, you must apply for a license. Documents can be submitted:

Upon receipt of documents, the license applicant is given a copy of the inventory with a mark on the date of receipt (in person or by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt). If an incomplete set of documents or a violation of the requirements is discovered in the submitted package of documents, then within three working days from the date of receipt of the application the applicant is given (sent) a notice of the need to eliminate the violations within thirty days. After the violations are eliminated, a reasoned decision to consider the application for a license or to return the application is made within three working days.

If there were no complaints about the documents, then the decision to issue a license is made within five working days, and the license itself is handed over to the licensee or sent to him by registered mail with notification within three working days after this decision. It is possible to obtain a license in the form of an electronic document, if indicated in the application.

The issuance of a license may be refused, then the decision on this must indicate the reasons for the refusal with references to regulations or details of the license applicant’s inspection report, if the refusal was based on non-compliance with licensing requirements.

A license is issued according to standard form, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 6, 2011 No. 826. If the license has been damaged or lost, you can obtain a duplicate in the manner prescribed by Article 17 of Law No. 99-FZ.

The license is valid throughout the entire territory Russian Federation, but if the licensee changes the region of activity, he must inform the licensing authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation (territory, region, republic) where he plans to work.

How to get a liquor license?

Retail alcoholic drinks, including beer - this is a fairly popular activity of our users, so we will tell you in more detail how to obtain a license for alcohol. The licensing of this type of activity is regulated by special law No. 171-FZ of November 22, 1995. First, let's clarify the issue of selling beer (as well as beer drinks, cider, poire, mead).

Beer is an alcoholic product, but its sale is regulated by certain provisions of the law. Beer sales are not covered. special requirements to the retail sale and consumption of alcoholic products specified in Article 16 of Law No. 171-FZ, and You don't need a license to sell beer.

Since 2013, beer can only be sold in stationary facilities (shops), but there are no specific requirements for their area, as for the sale of other alcoholic products. In urban areas, to sell beer it is necessary to use cash machine even in UTII and PSN modes. And one more difference between beer and other alcohol - it can be implemented not only by organizations, but also by individual entrepreneurs.

As for alcohol in general, obtaining a license for its production and circulation, in addition to Law No. 171-FZ, is also regulated by special Administrative Regulations. The documents for obtaining a license for the production of alcohol differ from those submitted for obtaining licenses for other types of activities. In our article we will look at licensing requirements only for retail sale of alcohol, because It makes sense to consider the requirements for its production, storage and wholesale circulation separately.

To obtain a license, the applicant must:

  • be a legal entity (individual entrepreneurs cannot sell alcohol other than beer);
  • own or long-term (from one year) lease stationary retail facilities and warehouses;
  • the total area of ​​such premises for retail sales alcohol must be at least 50 m2. m in urban areas and at least 25 sq. m in rural areas;
  • when selling alcohol in urban settlements, the licensee must use a cash register, even if he is a UTII payer;
  • have authorized capital certain size(the requirement is set by regional licensing authorities), but not more than 1 million rubles.

Regional licensing authorities may establish other additional requirements, so before collecting the necessary documents and paying the state fee, contact detailed information to the relevant district department of Rosalkogolregulirovanie. Their contacts, as well as the license application form, can be found in the Administrative Regulations.

Re-registration, suspension and renewal of a license

If the licensee’s data specified in Article 18 of Law No. 99-FZ changes, You must contact the licensing authority to reissue your license. Re-registration is required in the following cases:

  • reorganization of a legal entity;
  • changes in personal data and place of residence of the individual entrepreneur;
  • change of legal address and name of the organization;
  • changing the address at which the licensed type of activity is carried out.

The procedure for re-issuing a license is given in the article in Article 18 of Law No. 99-FZ, the amount of the state duty ranges from 600 to 2600 rubles.

The licensing authority not only issues licenses, but also monitors the activities of the licensee. If during a scheduled or unscheduled inspection violations of licensing requirements are discovered, an order will be issued to eliminate them, and if this does not happen, specified period, That the license may be suspended(Article 20 of Law No. 99-FZ), During the period of suspension, it is prohibited to conduct licensed activities.

Once the requirements of the licensing authority are met, the license is renewed. Information on suspension and renewal of licenses is entered into a special register.

Cancellation and termination of license

In case of failure to comply with the requirements due to which an order was issued or the license was suspended, it must be canceled at the request of the licensing authority. The license is terminated within 10 working days after such a court decision.

The license may be terminated and on a voluntary basis, If:

  • an application has been submitted to terminate the licensed type of activity;
  • activity ceased individual as an individual entrepreneur;
  • The activities of a legal entity have been terminated (except for reorganization).

When terminating the activities of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, there is no need to report this to the licensing authority; this will be done by the tax inspectorate.

Responsibility for working without a license

Administrative liability is provided for violation of licensing laws:

  • for operating without a license under Article 14.1(2) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine for organizations from 40 to 50 thousand rubles, for individual entrepreneurs - from 4 to 5 thousand rubles, while confiscation of products, production tools and raw materials is allowed;

The essence of licensing is that it is subject to the most “dangerous” types of activities that may entail damage to objects under special state protection: the life and health of citizens, the country’s defense capability, etc. Licensing serves as a kind of filter that limits the access of “unreliable” entities to carry out special types of activities. Violation of licensing rights, in turn, may entail both administrative and criminal liability.

At the same time, licensed types of business activities include those groups of activities that require prior approval by the licensing authority. After all, its implementation may cause damage to: legitimate interests, rights, defense or security of the state, the health of citizens, cultural heritage people Russian Federation.

In turn, if a type of activity is included in the list of licensed ones, it will mean that its implementation is possible only after obtaining permission from government agency. Otherwise, an entrepreneur or legal entity may be brought to administrative or even criminal liability.
