How to deregister a car in the traffic police in 2020 - the most detailed article with step-by-step instructions

Hello everyone! How to remove the car from the register in the traffic police? I will talk about the main options that exist for 2019, describe in detail what needs to be done in each case, pay attention to important nuances and difficulties, which will help you succeed even in seemingly hopeless situations.

Igor Pischy is with you, let's go!

Is it possible to deregister a car in 2019

Yes, you can. The traffic police provides for several different procedures that relate to the removal of vehicles (TC) from registration (RU), depending on the purpose pursued by the applicant.

Where is the vehicle deregistered?

Registration of vehicles is under the jurisdiction of the traffic police. For some vehicles (tractors, some special equipment and self-propelled vehicles), the analogue of this department is Gostekhnadzor. Accordingly, all registration actions (RD) related to accounting for the vehicle are carried out in these departments.

But now some actions on RC with TS can be carried out in other ways - online and by contacting multifunctional centers (MFC - "My Documents").

That is, there are three ways for applicants to remove vehicles from the reactor facility:

• In the traffic police- directly (main).
• Through the MFC- carrying out a certain part of the necessary actions with the help of a specialist.
• Through the Internet- carrying out a certain part of the necessary actions without leaving home using the State Services portal.

The procedure for removing the traffic police

Removing the vehicle from the switchgear directly to the traffic police allows you to carry out the required action as quickly as possible - if there are no problems, the service is provided on the day the applicant applies (in the absence of a queue - within an hour).

General order passing the procedure in the traffic police the following:

1. Definition required action.
2. Choice departments of traffic police.
3. Collection required documentation.
4. Payment on state duty and other payments, if it is provided by the service.
5. Recording for admission to the selected department (via the terminal on site or online).
6. visit departments at the time specified in the electronic queue.
7. Expectation call to the number of the electronic queue.
8. Broadcast the traffic police operator of the application and the package of attached documentation (if required, state numbers are also transferred) for preliminary and in-depth verification.
9. Recall after waiting and receiving the result (issuance of a document on the service performed or refusal with explanations of the reason).

Attention! In some cases, the RD related to the removal of the vehicle from the register require the provision of a car for inspection.

You can select the desired traffic police department on a special page of the traffic police portal through the search form.

Is it possible to deregister a car at the MFC

Despite the fact that the MFC network now provides a number of services to motorists (a driver's license, issuance of certain permits, payment of fines, etc. - in an intermediary mode), the RD related to deregistration of the vehicle has not yet been included in this list (which is also different). But there are such plans.

However, through the MFC, the driver can receive qualified specialist assistance in preparing for the procedure for the required service:

• Find out exactly what is required the applicant in his particular situation.
• Determine which documents must be collected by the applicant.
• Choose the right one for the applicant, the traffic police unit.
• Compose correctly application for the required service.
• Make a pre-registration to receive services in the required traffic police department at a date and time convenient for the applicant.
• Get other information and personalized advice.

To carry out these actions, the applicant must:

1. Discover contact details of the nearest MFC.
2. Sign up appointment.
3. visit institution "My Documents" at the time indicated on the record.

You can find out the contact details of the required MFC through special directories like portals Mfcgos.ru, MFC.rf, etc.

How to register for deregistration of a car

There are several ways to make an appointment at the desired department:

• Get a ticket in person electronic queue at the MFC office through a self-service terminal.
• Sign up by phone, which can be found on the official regional portal of the MFC.
• Sign up via email regional portal of the MFC (this method is not always available yet).
• Register on the State Services Portal(not valid in all cities).

Withdrawal through the portal of the State Service

Through the portal of the State Service, it is possible to carry out the following preliminary RD related to deregistration of the vehicle:

• Disposal (in connection with the write-off of the vehicle).
• Re-registration (in connection with the change of ownership of the vehicle).
• Termination of the RC (if the new owner did not register the vehicle within the prescribed 10 days).
• Car export outside Russia.

For the listed items, through the State Services portal, you can carry out a significant part of the necessary actions online without leaving your home, including paying state duties at a favorable discount. However, to complete the procedure in all cases, a personal visit to the traffic police by the applicant is required.

The general algorithm of actions on the portal for all the above cases.

Carry out the preliminary steps:

1. Login on the portal and enter your personal account (or register if it is not available).
2. Prepare information from the documents required for the procedure.
3. Navigate to the desired section of the portal.

Carry out the first part of the basic steps by entering information on the following categories on the appropriate forms:

• A type TS
• Kind of your rights on the vehicle as the applicant.
• Personal data (name, etc.).
• Passport data (registration, etc.).
• Vehicle data(category, title status, marking, related to auto documentation, etc.).

Attention! If necessary (this is not necessary in all cases), a state duty for withdrawal is paid - a 30% discount applies to the State Services.

Carry out the second part of the main actions by selecting the following in the appropriate forms:

• Place where the traffic police unit you need is located.
• Convenient date and time to visit the unit.
• To approve on the terms of the online service.
• click by clicking the "Submit Application" button.
• Wait for a positive result online checks on the previously specified information.

If all the data is entered correctly, then at the selected time, the applicant visits the desired department and provides the original documents for verification by the operator. If necessary (not in all cases), a car is provided for inspection by an inspector-technician at the observation deck.

Attention! Applicants can decide on the list of documents required to receive the desired service on the page "For car owners" of the GIBDD.rf portal.

Withdrawal in another region

The applicant has the right to take actions to remove the vehicle from the RF, regardless of the place of residence / stay or registration, according to
paragraph 25 of the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 399.

This provision is valid not only for individuals, but also for legal entities - the location and registration of a legal entity (or its branch) can also be any.

However, depending on the type of deregistration of the vehicle, this provision is not always effective. For example, for individuals, recycling / write-off is available in any city, region or region of the Russian Federation where there are traffic police units (previously this could only be done in your region).

But for legal entities, the old norm remained in force, but only in terms of documenting (writing off / archiving data on the vehicle). If the actual disposal of the car is planned in another region, then there are no restrictions for legal entities - you can transport vehicles to another city and to another region to the selected supplier.

Both individuals and legal entities are required to restore a car from scrap at the place of the last registration of vehicles.

Re-registration - deregistration of the car in connection with the change of ownership

In this section, we will talk about the most popular type of removal of a vehicle from a switchgear - its re-registration with the traffic police in connection with a change of ownership. This category includes the following situations of transfer of ownership of the vehicle from one person to another:

• Sale in all its varieties.
• donation in all its varieties.
• Inheritance in all its varieties.
• Broadcast in all its varieties.

Attention! According to the laws of the Russian Federation, a vehicle may have several share owners at the same time. However, in the traffic police, a car is registered only for one person (individual or legal), and all the rest remain in the status of shared owners.

Among motorists, and even in the traffic police, RD, due to the change of ownership, is no longer classified as removing the vehicle from the switchgear. Even in the relevant regulation, this operation is indicated as “making changes in connection with the change of owner (owner)” - Appendix No. 1 to Order No. 605.

However, this operation was called re-registration for convenience, but in fact, technically, as in the time of the reference-account, it is divided into two operator actions for RC - withdrawal and arming.

That is, when a new owner of a car contacts the traffic police about its re-registration, the operator first removes the vehicle from the switchgear to the previous owner, and then registers it to the new one. For motorists, everything looks like one re-registration process.

Therefore, re-registration belongs to the previously mentioned category of registration removal of the vehicle from the register, along with the termination of the RC.

Who should deregister the vehicle and is deregistration mandatory when selling in 2019

No, you do not need to remove the car from the register when selling. Previously, yes - when changing ownership, the owners first removed the car from the switchgear, and then registered it. For ease of understanding, it is assumed that such removal from the reactor facility has been cancelled.

In fact, this action has not been canceled, but removed from the duties of car owners and assigned to the responsibility of the operator. And now the applicant, when applying for the re-registration service, receives two in one - the removal and installation of the vehicle at the RU in the form of one combined service.

Is it possible to remove the car from the register under the contract of sale

As mentioned above, when changing the owner of the vehicle, applicants no longer need to conduct a separate operation to remove it from the RF. However, some do not know that this is not just a lack of necessity, but the impossibility of such an action in a separate order on the part of the applicant.

That is, for example, if the new actual owner of the car asks the traffic police to remove from the RU the vehicle he acquired under the purchase and sale agreement (DKP) on the basis of his purchase, then he will be refused because such a service for cars remaining on the territory of the Russian Federation, no more. But for the former owner, there is a service for removing the vehicle from the switchgear on the basis of the DCT.

However, the new owner may withdraw on other grounds - loss, theft, write-off. The only case when a car is deregistered under the DCT is when it is exported outside of Russia.

Sold a car under a sales contract - how to deregister

When re-registering a car sold under a sales contract, the applicant needs to take the following steps:

1. Prepare vehicle for inspection– compliance with technical inspection and GOST standards, access and readability of marking plates, troubleshooting.
2. Preparation of the basic package of documents.
3. The choice of the traffic police department, consultation (in case of any difficulties - in person, by telephone or other remote mode).
4. Registration at the traffic police- in person or remotely (through the portal of the State Service, MFC).
5. Payment of state duty- in the traffic police department, banks, online (through the State Services).
6. Preparation of the final package of documents- a receipt for payment of the state duty and an application are added to the above (the application can be drawn up independently according to the samples on the information stands or received online, with the help of an inspector on duty at the traffic police, with the help of the MFC and through the State Services).
7. Visiting the traffic police at the appointed time- put the car on the observation deck and submit documents for verification in accordance with the call by electronic queue. If the reconciliation at the window did not reveal any problems, the documents are accepted for further verification, and the applicant is sent to the observation deck for the result of the inspection. The operator will immediately return what is not needed or what does not require further verification, as well as what is needed to pass the inspection of the vehicle.
8. Submission of examination results and waiting- if the vehicle check is passed, then an application signed by the technician and license plates removed by him (if they are replaced) are submitted to the receiving window. After that, you need to wait for a call on the final result.
9. Issuance of the result of vehicle re-registration- upon a call to the window, the operator will issue to the applicant a new STS, PTS with the entered data, new license plates (they are not issued if the change of ownership was with the preservation of numbers), documents to be returned.

Blank and sample application for re-registration of the vehicle, you can download from the links below:

A more detailed list of necessary and additional documents is set out in paragraph 15 of the Administrative Regulations for registering a vehicle (Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 605 of 08/07/2013).

A detailed procedure for re-registration of a vehicle in connection with its sale, as well as re-registration of a vehicle in connection with other types of change of ownership, is described in the following article:

What documents are needed

To deregister you will need:

• Civil passport (or equivalent document).
• Passport of the vehicle (PTS).
• Document on the right of ownership - DKP, deed of gift, barter agreement, etc.
• - should be, but it is not necessary to present it.
• Certificate of registration - STS of the previous owner (if any).
• Additional documents - a power of attorney, a design safety certificate, a cargo customs declaration, documents for a power unit, etc.

What documents remain

After registering the car, all submitted documents will be returned to the applicant - title, passport, power of attorney, DKP, and so on.

If the car is deregistered, then to whom does it belong?

Ownership of the car arises from the moment the vehicle is transferred to the buyer on the basis of a sales contract. That is, when a car is deregistered and a DCT is issued, it no longer belongs to the seller.

Is it possible to temporarily deregister a car

Another option for the traffic police service for removing a vehicle from a reactor facility is called termination of registration. It involves the suspension of the effectiveness of the RC in the bases of the traffic police with the possibility of prompt recovery.

That is, the data on the vehicle is not archived, but is marked in the databases as related to the suspended registration (temporarily or permanently - this is an individual question).

This service is regulated by section 12 (clauses 60 - 66) of paragraph III of the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605.

In what cases can you cancel the registration of a car

The RC termination procedure has several options and can be applied in the following situations:

1. Change of ownership vehicle in connection with its sale or transfer.
2. impossibility use of the vehicle.
3. suspense location of the vehicle.
4. Theft car.

At the same time, the impossibility of using the car and the uncertainty of its location are combined into one category - the loss of the vehicle.

Termination of registration in connection with the change of ownership of the car

This option is most in demand among motorists. This procedure is intended for those who have sold their car or otherwise transferred the rights to its property to another person.

The termination of RU on this basis is regulated by clause 60.4 of Order No. 605.

Why is this procedure needed?

This is a very useful service that allows the former owner to suspend the RC in his name before the sale. Thus, the former owner frees himself from the need to pay transport tax, the risk of repaying other people's fines, and possible proceedings in case of accidents with the vehicle.

The procedure also encourages the new owner to fulfill the obligation to re-register the car for himself, since driving a vehicle with a discontinued RC is prohibited. At the same time, the new owner can register the car at any time independently on the basis of a document of ownership - the participation of the former owner is not required.

How long does it take to deregister a car after selling it?

The procedure for terminating the RU TS is described in more detail in the article:

Attention! A receipt for the payment of the state duty for the termination of the RU TS is not needed, since deregistration is free.

The former owner can check the registration status of the vehicle by the state number, VIN code (or body / chassis number) on a special service of the GIBDD.rf portal.

Do I need to deregister a car when putting it in a trade-in

After a transaction with the official purchase of a car by a car dealership (under the trade in program) or under other agreements with legal entities working in the field of used vehicle car dealerships (for example, a purchase agreement, commissions, etc.), in many cases, re-registration of vehicles to a new owner is delayed or not carried out at all.

In addition, legal entities-auto-dealers are interested in the fact that the vehicle received by them remains at an effective RU until it is sold to the final owner. But the implementation time can be very different.

The key point here is your contract with a legal entity, namely its form and content. For example, there are agency agreements and commission agreements, according to which the vehicle remains the property of the seller until the moment of sale, and the legal entity, according to the documents, acts only as an intermediary. In this case, the RC can be terminated only after 10 days from the date of sale of the machine by the legal entity.

Contracts of a different form, when the vehicle becomes the property of a legal entity upon redemption, may also contain clauses obliging the former owner to wait within a certain period (several months).

In this case, you can terminate the RC immediately after the purchase of the vehicle by the legal entity, but then the dealer will file claims for non-fulfillment of the terms of the contract, which is fraught with problems with loss of time, nerves and money.

In such a situation, experts advise to carefully study the terms of the contract (preferably with the involvement of a lawyer), as well as pay attention to the following aspects:

• Best time to sell a vehicle- the contract must contain this clause, which gives the former owner the full right to terminate the RC after the expiration of the period specified in the document, regardless of the results of the sale.
• Duty to notify the former owner of the sale of the vehicle to the final buyer.
• Admission Responsibility fines traffic police in the name of the former owner during the sale.
• Duty to verify legal entity of registration status resold vehicle, with notification of the results of the former owner or with the obligation to resolve the problematic issue.
• Granting the right to terminate the RC legal entity-intermediary with the obligation to notify the former owner.
• Obligation to hand over one copy of the PrEP to the former owner legal entity with the end buyer.

With well-designed standard forms of contracts for legal entities (provided that an honest business is carried out), problems with the status of the Republic of Uzbekistan usually do not arise.

How to stop registering a car when it is sold to outbidders

When unofficially buying up cars by outbidding, the question of the effectiveness and status of the Republic of Uzbekistan often arises. The fact is that outbids practically do not register vehicles that they are preparing for resale. Moreover, they always try to build a repurchase scheme so that their details do not appear in the transaction at all, conducting it in absentia between the primary seller and the final buyer.

If the contracted outbid contract does not have the real name and signature of the buyer, as well as the date, then it is problematic to terminate the RC on it. Therefore, in such transactions, insist on drawing up a full-fledged DCT with full name and outbid signature. At the same time, it will not be superfluous to check his passport for the reality of the data entered into the contract.

In this case, outbids usually separately stipulate a verbal condition - a request not to stop the RU before the sale of the vehicle, undertaking to immediately notify the former owner of the purchase and not allow fines. At the same time, the seller is free to act at his own discretion - immediately stop the RU or comply with the agreement with the outbid and stop it 10 days after the car is received by the final owner.

How many days after the sale can I remove the car from the register

According to clause 60.4 of Order No. 605, registration for a sold car under a sales contract may be suspended at the request of the former owner if the new owner has not re-registered the car within the prescribed 10 days.

Accordingly, immediately after the conclusion of the transaction, it is impossible to terminate the RU - the service will be denied because this will be a violation of the buyer's rights established by law.

They didn’t stop the registration of the car after it was sold - what will it be

Unlike the buyer, there are no penalties for the unstopped RC for the seller of the vehicle. However, this can cause much more problems than the new owner.

Is it possible to remove and not register a car

No. The RC procedure is obligatory within 10 days after the purchase of the machine. It is forbidden to drive an unregistered car - otherwise a fine or deprivation of rights for a repeated violation.

Who receives fines if the car is not deregistered

Penalties can come according to the details of the current RU. The fact of the sale of the vehicle does not exempt the former owner from paying traffic police fines. They can be challenged in court, but this is quite troublesome and in many cases unprofitable.

Of particular danger are situations when the seller, for whatever reason (change of address, etc.), does not receive notifications of fines for the sold vehicle and does not check their presence himself. This can last for years and the total amount of fines can reach very significant amounts.

In addition, procedural measures to collect the debt can be initiated against the seller, with all the ensuing consequences, up to the seizure of property and the detention of the "debtor" himself. Proceedings in this case can last a long time, and the measures taken can continue to be effective.

Transport tax issues and possible car accidents

In addition to fines, a similar situation can be created by transport tax arrears, which also come to the details of the current RU.

Well, sometimes some troubles can happen with the participation of the sold car - for example, it can be stolen as a tool for committing a crime, etc. In this case, the police will first of all disturb the seller, and not the actual owner.

And if the DCT was lost, there is no other evidence of the transaction, and the buyer refuses (stating that there was no transaction), then with a certain amount of bad luck, the case can take a completely bad turn, fraught with unfair criminal prosecution and even landing an innocent person on a real term - there were such cases.

Therefore, it is better to stop RU in time than to expose yourself to the listed risks. Even if the buyer tearfully swears that he will definitely re-register the transport, but later, because now there is no time, etc. It is better not to listen to such persuasion, because they may turn out to be a dishonest buyer.

Is it possible to simply terminate the registration of a car without selling it

Yes, you can. Among other things, specified in paragraphs 60.1 - 60.10 of Order No. 605, this is provided for in case of loss or theft of the vehicle.

Termination of vehicle registration due to its loss

This service allows you to suspend the RC on a vehicle that its owner cannot use for various reasons. It is regulated by clause 60.1 of Order No. 605.

Inability to use the car

If the machine is at the disposal of the owner, but is not suitable for operation due to technical reasons (it has rotted, burned out, etc.), then this serves as the basis for the suspension of the switchgear.

To confirm this reason, the traffic police, along with an application and a civil passport, provide an appropriate supporting document.

This may be the conclusion of an accredited service station (for example, during a long overhaul) or documentation drawn up for a broken car or other incidents, which reflects the damage received.

If the car is long gone

It often happens that the owner does not have his vehicle and he does not have the opportunity to return the car to his disposal. This may be due to some accident (for example, deeply sunk) or simply to an unknown location (lost).

The latter usually refers to a gray sale and purchase scheme for when the vehicle has changed a lot of owners by subordination and / or no longer exists physically or as an integral operating structure.

Of the documents confirming the grounds indicated in the application, certificates from government departments (for example, from the Ministry of Emergency Situations) or simply intelligible explanatory notes can be used here.

Termination of registration of the car in connection with its theft

This service allows you to suspend the operation of the RC on a stolen vehicle, or one that has disappeared under unclear circumstances for a long time. It is regulated by clause 60.2 of Order No. 605.

The owner has the right to stop the RU both during the investigative actions of the Department of Internal Affairs, and after their completion. But it is better to carry out the procedure immediately, especially if the STS is stolen along with the car, and also if there are suspicions that the vehicle was stolen in order to commit a crime using it. Documents from the Department of Internal Affairs and explanatory documents serve to confirm the grounds.

Attention! In no case do not use the suspension of the RC on the basis of theft on the sold vehicle as a punishment for the new owner for late re-registration. By doing this, you are carrying out a criminally punishable act (knowingly false denunciation), prosecuted under Art. 306 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Watch the video where you will learn additional nuances on the procedure for terminating the registration of a vehicle with the traffic police:

Car write-off

The write-off of transport is carried out in connection with its disposal. This service is designed to completely stop the operation of the RC and place information about it in a separate archive database. After that, the car loses the status of the vehicle and acquires the status of the material.

Write-off can be of two types:

1. Preparation for disposal.
2. actual disposal.

These procedures can be applied either partially (preparation) or sequentially (preparation + disposal).

Preparation for disposal

In this case, the vehicle data is archived, but for some reason it is not processed. Today, this form of write-off is problematic due to the requirement for a Certificate of acceptance for processing from the manufacturing company.

But they get it with various gray schemes, without taking the car for recycling or taking it away from there later. And earlier, the vehicle simply remained with the owner as a material that could be sent later for spare parts.

A distinctive feature of the partial write-off is the possibility of a full-fledged restoration of the reactor facility. Previously, this was not possible, but now it is regulated by clause 18 (paragraph 5) of Order No. 399. It states that if the vehicle has not undergone actual processing, then its RC can be renewed upon the appropriate application.

At the same time, you need to submit such an application only to the traffic police department where the car was registered before it was written off (because data on decommissioned cars are archived there).

Actual disposal

When writing off a vehicle according to this scheme, actions are taken to archive the data and deliver the car to an accredited recycling center. After the actual decommissioning, the restoration of the reactor plant is impossible.

A variation of the actual write-off is partial disposal, in which the car loses the status of a vehicle and a structural mechanism, but individual components and assemblies retain it. At the same time, relevant documents are issued for the saved numbered units, which will be needed if they are planned to be reused in the future.

Step-by-step algorithm for writing off a car

To write off the vehicle in connection with its disposal, the applicant needs to take the following steps:

1. Decide what form write-offs will apply to the vehicle.
2. Prepare vehicle for decommissioning- remove everything superfluous from the machine, and in case of partial disposal, remove the required components and assemblies and ensure identification of the markings on the nameplates.
3. Select a convenient traffic police unit and an accredited recycling point.
4. consult with a specialist of the selected department in case of any difficulties - in person, by telephone or in other remote mode.
5. Conclude an agreement with the manufacturing company, providing a car, a civil passport and a title (if any).
6. Hand over the vehicle to the manufacturer and get a package of documents there: a certificate of disposal, an act of acceptance and an act of completeness of the vehicle. Some other documents may also be issued (an act of transferring scrap to the utilizer after processing the vehicle, copies of the company's license).
7. Prepare the final package of documents, which necessarily includes a civil passport, a certificate of disposal, a corresponding statement and an explanatory note in the absence of a title and license plates. A receipt for payment of the state duty is added to the package if the disposal is partially completed.
8. To make an appointment in the traffic police - in person or remotely (through the portal of the State Service).
9. Apply in person or remotely (through the State Services).
10. Visit the traffic police and get the result(removal of the vehicle from the switchgear and a corresponding certificate of this or a vehicle registration card with the signature and seal of an official).

You can download a sample of filling out an application for scrapping a car at the following link:

Attention! The PTS and STS handed over when decommissioning the vehicle are not returned and are disposed of. Therefore, if the car somehow avoided actual disposal and there is a possibility of restoring the RU for it, it is better to keep the TCP, replacing it with an explanatory note with a photocopy of the document. In some traffic police, instead of an explanatory note, you can simply verbal notice that the TCP and / or STS have not been preserved.

The process of decommissioning a vehicle is described in more detail in the article:

How to remove a car from the disposal register if it is not running

With complete disposal, it does not matter whether the vehicle is running or not, in what technical condition it is, what brand, type, etc. An exception may be for tractors and special equipment.

Utilizers also pay attention to the SKD equipment: the running gear, the unit, and the gearbox - they must be in place, at least in partial form. At the same time, numbered units should not be missing if there is no corresponding document from the traffic police on their withdrawal as released ones.

Attention! The marking on the nameplates of the body and the unit number must be with the marking that is indicated in the PTS.

Therefore, if the car is partially disposed of (for example, you need to leave the engine), then it is immediately provided for inspection by the traffic police, a corresponding application is written and a document is taken in advance for the released license plate unit. And then, by a separate procedure, the vehicle is sent for recycling without an engine.

If the car is not running, then there are two solutions:

1. To transport to the place of inspection and disposal by a car transporter.
2. Reach an agreement in the traffic police about the field inspector (this is far from always possible), and in the procurement company about transportation from the location of the vehicle (this is easier).

Is it possible to leave numbers if the car is deregistered

According to paragraph 63 of Order No. 605, the license plate of the car, as well as the certificate of its registration, are subject to disposal during the procedure for decommissioning the vehicle. At the same time, it does not matter whether you actually passed the STS and / or state signs - their effectiveness will be canceled. It is impossible to write off a car and at the same time retain state signs.

But this can be done in advance by a separate operation: "Introducing changes to the RU data - replacing state signs." At the same time, a new state sign and a new STS will be issued to the car. The traffic police will accept the old numbers for storage until they are called for, in accordance with clause 42 of Order No. 399.

Before saving state signs, it is recommended to update them by receiving newly made duplicates, since plates that are in perfect condition and fully comply with GOST are accepted for storage. Even slight deformation, rust, abrasion or oxidation can cause rejection of acceptance with a recommendation to apply for reissue.

Attention! The period of storage of license plates is calculated from the date of receipt of the preservation service, and now it has been increased to 360 days instead of 180.

Is it possible to deregister a car without an owner, without license plates, DCT and other documents

Yes, you can. If the vehicle has a valid RP, then it can be disposed of without a PTS, as well as without providing a STS, DKP, state signs, and even without a written explanation with the reasons for their absence or loss.

However, it will not be possible to do without documents at all. For example, if you have lost PrEP, present:

• Passport(or a replacement document).
• Statement for vehicle disposal.
• Certificate on the actual disposal from the procurement organization.

When carrying out the withdrawal procedure without an owner (for example, for a deceased relative), all the necessary actions are carried out on behalf of a trustee - it is required to provide an appropriate power of attorney and an application, a sample of which you can find below:

If the vehicle does not have a valid registration and there are no documents for it, then in this case, instead of recycling, it is easier to hand it over for scrap to private manufacturers or sell it for.

Is it possible to remove the sold car from the disposal register?

Today, such a possibility is legally excluded - for this, since July 2017, changes have been made to the basic standards for the RU TS, according to which, before decommissioning the car to the traffic police, the owner must provide a certificate of its actual disposal from the procurement organization.

This Certificate itself was put into practice a long time ago - by Order No. 10 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation “On approval of the form and requirements for the Certificate of disposal of an obsolete vehicle” - dated January 14, 2010. But it has become mandatory for presentation recently.

Earlier, when it was allowed to scrap a car with only one civil passport and an application, this procedure was widely used by former owners for coercive or punitive purposes for negligent buyers who did not re-register the purchased vehicle and picked up fines in the name of the seller.

Today, this practice has been legally discontinued and is possible only in the form of gray or black schemes, when the Utilization Certificate is obtained without actually scrapping the car.

In conclusion, I will answer a few frequently asked questions by drivers on the topic of removing a vehicle from a switchgear.

Is it possible to deregister a car if there are unpaid fines

Yes, you can. Moreover, this applies to all the described options for removing the vehicle from the reactor plant. Traffic police officers cannot refuse you a service even if.

And can the traffic police demand payment of fines when deregistering a vehicle and during other registration actions? Yes, they can, and this is practiced quite often - which is why the myth arose about the need to pay all debts before going to the traffic police.

If you are facing such a demand, then (when you are unable to repay the debt, or you dispute it or simply do not want to pay) you can show legal awareness by referring to the following:

1. Directions DOBBD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 13 / 5-77 of April 28, 2009 with the characteristic title “On the inadmissibility of demanding the payment of fines” is a circular specially issued for such cases.
2. Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, informing the operator that at the moment the requirement to pay fines to the traffic police from the applicant is possible only in one case - only under the above article with a driver's license after them.

After such an educational program, you do not have to waste time complaining and looking for the head of the unit - the service will be provided to you immediately. The traffic police, as well as other state departments, do not like legally competent applicants and try to get rid of them by satisfying their applications as soon as possible.

Attention! Even after the complete and actual disposal of the car, the fines “hanging” on its owner, issued according to the details of the decommissioned vehicle, will still have to be paid (if there are no grounds to challenge them).

Attention! If any prohibitions or restrictions are imposed on the vehicle due to non-payment of fines, then in this case the operator’s refusal will be lawful and the service will be available only after the debt is paid off and documents on the removal of sanctions from the car are provided.

Are they deducted from the register for tinting

Judicial practice shows that removal from the switchgear for tinting is possible. For example, here is the decision of the district court of the Irkutsk region. The man filed a lawsuit against the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the illegal deregistration of his car. The court dismissed the claim and recognized the actions of the traffic police officer as legal.

The car was removed from the RU - is it possible to drive it under the contract of sale

Yes. Within 10 days after the execution of the contract of sale.

Is it possible to deregister a car if it is under arrest

No. According to paragraph 46 of Order No. 399, the traffic police services related to the RC are provided to the applicant only after the removal of the imposed prohibitions and / or restrictions, including if it is planned to deregister the car, and it is listed in the traffic police databases as arrested under the provisions of Art. . 80 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation or on other grounds.

Before removing the car from the RF, the applicant must remove the arrest, the ban on registration actions and other restrictions from the car.

Attention! The provision of paragraph 46 of Order No. 399 does not apply to stolen cars - they can be removed from the RU even with a previously imposed arrest and / or other restrictions. But this applies only to the procedure for terminating registration, and re-registration and write-off remain inaccessible until the causes of sanctions are eliminated.

Why deregister a car

The reasons for withdrawal from the RU are as follows:

• Vehicle theft - cancellation of registration will protect against fraudulent activities and remove legal responsibility for the car from the owner.
• Disposal - if the switchgear is not removed, the owner will be charged a transport tax.
• Export of the car abroad - the vehicle must be registered at the new place of registration.
• After the sale - if the new owner has not re-registered the car within 10 days, then it is better to remove the car from the RC. Otherwise, fines and taxes will come to the former car owner.

How to remove a decommissioned or retired car so as not to pay tax

The transport tax (TN) is regulated by Ch. 28 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, where clause 1 of Art. 358 states that TN is levied on cars and other vehicles based on an effective switchgear. That is, as long as the car has an effective RC in the traffic police for your details, then the TN will be accrued and come to the addressee according to the corresponding details.

It is possible to get rid of the HP when using the procedure for removing the vehicle from the switchgear in the following cases:

• Re-registration vehicle in the name of another owner.
• Termination RU TS on the details of the former owner unilaterally.
• Write-off TC upon the relevant application of the owner of the TC.

In addition, according to paragraph 7 of Art. 358 of the Tax Code, the wanted vehicles on the operating RU are exempted from TN, if the taxpayer has the appropriate confirmation of the Department of Internal Affairs on the fact of the crime. But such an exemption is given only for the current period from the moment of theft, and not for the tax debt that existed before.

Sometimes information from the traffic police for some reason does not reach the IFTS, or for some reason, the tax office itself does not apply the updated data received to the tax accounting (NU) of the car. It happens that a motorist suddenly receives a notice of a tax debt for a long-sold or scrapped car.

Therefore, in addition to the indicated registration actions, in order to exclude sometimes delays through notification channels from the traffic police to the IFTS, it is worth personally visiting the required tax office and presenting the originals of the relevant documents.

Here is a step-by-step algorithm for removing a vehicle from tax records in "manual mode":

1. Visit the tax office at the location of the switchgear of your vehicle.
2. If you don't have any documents, then first they will find you (by state number) and issue a NU TS card (the so-called received certificate).
3. If you have a certificate of withdrawal of the vehicle with RU, then you can not receive NU card, although it also does not hurt.
4. Next, you need to take a ticket of the electronic queue, wait for your number to be displayed on the information board, go to the indicated window and submit documents to the operator.
5. The employee will check the information and make changes to the database NU data. Here, if you have a tax debt, you will be given a notice and a receipt for its payment, which can be done there through the terminal.

Attention! In some branches of the tax service, you can find information signs stating that in order to remove the vehicle from the NU, you need to provide a notification from the IFTS. If you don’t have one, then it’s okay - the absence of this document will not affect the success of the procedure.

It is also worth knowing that when selling a vehicle to legal entities-intermediaries, where, under an agreement, the seller undertakes not to remove the sold car from the RC using his details for some period, the TN will come in his name. Therefore, this moment should be separately settled with an intermediary and specify the conditions for compensation in the contract.

Attention! According to paragraph 3 of Art. 362 of the Tax Code, if the service for removing the vehicle from the RU is received before the 15th, then the taxpayer is exempt from paying the tariff for the current month, and if after the 15th, then the tax is charged as for a full tax month. Keep this in mind.

How much does it cost to deregister a car

Payment of state duties for various registration actions with the vehicle is regulated by Art. 333.33 (p. 36 - 46) of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, most of the RCs, one way or another related to the removal of the vehicle from the reactor plant, are not subject to duty.

For convenience, I will give a table showing the cases when, when removing a vehicle from a reactor facility, payment of a state duty is necessary, and when it is not, and I will indicate the cost of the procedure:

State duties for the services of the traffic police for the removal of the vehicle from the reactor plant
Service	Base	State duty	Price
Re-registration	Change of vehicle owner	Issuance of STS in its absence	500
		Making changes to the PTS	350
		Issuance of a duplicate of the TCP	500
Termination of RU	Sale	Not	«–»
	Lost or unknown location	Not	«–»
	Theft	Not	«–»
Write-off of the vehicle	Complete recycling	Not	«–»
	Partial recycling	Issuance of a Certificate for a released numbered unit	350

Summing up

In conclusion, I attach the final list of theses on key aspects of the topic considered:

• The traffic police provides for several procedures related to the removal of the vehicle from the reactor depending on the purpose pursued by the applicant, the main of which are re-registration, termination of registration and write-off (disposal).
• When changing ownership The vehicle is subject to re-registration.
• In case of theft and loss(impossibility of exploitation or obscurity of location) RC termination applies.
• When writing off removal from the reactor facility due to disposal is applied.
• Removal from the reactor facility is divided into three categories– registration, final, reversible.

• Actions on RC are regulated in accordance with two main standards: Orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 605 and No. 399.

• Motor transport is removed from the switchgear in the traffic police, and the MFC and the State Services portal can simplify the procedure.
• You can remove the vehicle from the switchgear regardless of the place residence, residence or registration.
• Upon re-registration removal of the vehicle from the reactor facility is removed from the applicant's duties and is under the responsibility of the operator.
• Termination of RC removes the risk the seller has problems, including significant ones.
• Recycling allows you to display information about RU TS from active traffic police databases to archival ones.
• With partial disposal the release of licensed units must be carried out by a separate preliminary procedure.
• The traffic police have no right to refuse in the RD for the removal of the vehicle from the RU due to existing fines, if at the same time the car is not seized or restricted for late payment.
• Arrested car deregistration (stop RU) is possible only in case of its theft.
• To avoid paying road tax, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for removing the vehicle from the switchgear according to any described option. At the same time, for stolen vehicles, the TN ceases to be accrued at an effective RU.
• You don't have to pay stamp duty for the termination of the reactor facility (for all options) and for the write-off (except for partial disposal).

There are several situations when accounting operations are carried out on a car without its presence:

What documents are required?

In all the above cases The mandatory required to include:

• for the state traffic inspectorate of the proper sample.
• A document proving the identity of the owner of the car.
• Registration certificate and technical passport for the car.
• Receipt of payment of the state fee, the amount of which varies depending on the specific case.
• Purchase and sale agreement, if accounting actions are performed for the car after the transaction under the DCT.
• with the signature of a notary, if his representative acts on behalf of the owner of the car.

Is it possible to apply to the traffic police for removal without a car and documents?

Without PTS

Often, car owners need to remove an old vehicle, access to which has been lost. In particular, the passport for the vehicle was lost. In such circumstances the owner of the car has the right to ask the traffic police to dispose of the car. In this case, only a civil passport and an application are required.

At the legislative level, it is allowed to restore lost documents for a car, but then you will need to have transport to verify state numbers. But in our case, in the absence of documents, you need to apply for the disposal of the vehicle.

Without a vehicle or if it is already gone

As mentioned earlier, deregistration of a car without a car is available in 3 situations:

• when a car is stolen by scammers;
• when it is sold in accordance with the DCT;
• with full or partial disposal of a car in favor of the state.

No numbers

Without state license plates, accounting actions in relation to a car remain available. To carry out this procedure with a vehicle whose license plates are missing, an explanatory note is attached to the application of the established form indicating the reason for the loss of numbers. In the note, it is important to state the circumstances of the loss of state signs in the most detailed and reasoned way, since if the representatives of the state traffic inspectorate are not convincing enough, they will ask the owner for the originals of the GNZ.

What can you do in other situations?

Where to apply?

The production of accounting actions in relation to the car takes place in the traffic police department, in which the vehicle was registered. In accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia N 399 dated June 26, 2018, registration and re-registration of a vehicle can be carried out in any traffic police department throughout the Russian Federation. How to deregister a car in another city and region is described.

What to write in the application?

The procedure for deregistration of a car without a car is available in several variations: theft, sale and disposal. To carry out all the activities, you need to make an application to the traffic police, collect a package of documentation for a specific case, pay a tax, and then wait for the result and not worry about tax deductions for an unused car.

For a couple of decades, he sold several cars by proxy.

Taxes have to be paid.

How to stop this, given that there are no documents for the car available?

alexey-475

Good time, I have such a problem, but they bought a car, but it is registered on the old owner of the TCP. the owner of the car died and the car was deregistered upon the death of the owner. when we came to re-register the car in the traffic police, they took the documents and sent them to the police. what to do now?

Alexander, Hello.

The best option is to contact the buyers and draw up sales contracts for each of the cars.

If this is not possible, then the car can be deregistered due to loss, because. You don't know his current whereabouts.

Good luck on the roads!

Alexei, Hello.

Nicholas-192

Maxim, good evening.

next moment:

I sold the car under the DCT with a registration point within 10 days, not certified by a notary, they made up 3 copies (I have one)

5-7 days have passed, I received 5 fines for 2500 r (so far at a discount)

New owner not contacting

Is it possible to withdraw without paying other people's fines

What does this procedure mean?

What awaits the car after this and its new and former owner (me)

What is the best thing to do in this situation

alexey-2777

Who did you buy the car from? And why were you sent to the police?

Bought a car from a guy, the previous owner even left the old contract. And the police were sent to clarify the circumstances of the sale of the car with the deceased owner

alexey-2777

And the guy did not register the car for himself. Two years have passed, the owner of the car died, the car was deregistered due to the death of the owner, the guy either did not say or did not know himself. However, this situation turned out, the documents were seized, the car costs and there is no money.

Nicholas, Hello.

1. After 10 days, contact the traffic police to terminate the registration of the car in connection with the sale. Nothing bad for you or the buyer is not threatened. Numbers will be removed from the car, but the buyer will receive new ones upon registration.

2. Each fine received must be appealed. To do this, an application should be sent to each traffic police department and a copy of the sales agreement should be attached to it. There should be as many applications as there were fines.

Good luck on the roads!

Alexei, if the situation is exactly as you write, then in the end there should be no problems. You have all intermediate agreements on the transfer of ownership of the car and you can confirm that the car was sold before the death of the owner.

And what documents were issued to you by the traffic police? And what did the police say?

Hello! I am the owner of the vehicle, registered to a legal entity and I am the director of an LLC. Due to the emergency condition of the car, it has not been used for 10 years. I want to remove it from registration and sell it for parts or scrap it. The traffic police require a certificate of disposal - only after that they will be deregistered. How to bypass this procedure and deregister, and then decide what to do with the vehicle - dispose of it or put it into spare parts?

Ivan, Hello.

You can terminate the registration of the car due to its loss (loss). For this, a certificate of disposal is not required.

Good luck on the roads!

Good afternoon. I bought a car, all the necessary documents were filled in (i.e. the purchase of a sale, the field of purchase and sale in my name was also filled in the TCP.) I did not manage to register the car within a given period of 10 days, the previous owner wrote an application for termination and they took my numbers from those passport. Now the question is can I sell this car to another person? After all, I am included in the purchase and sale of the title, i.e. the car belongs to me. And if so, will he have problems with the traffic police if he is stopped? After all, a car without a g / n. Same with decoration.

Renat, Hello.

You can sell the car. In this case, the buyer will need to transfer the contract under which you bought the car (1 copy).

The buyer must register the car within 10 days from the date of purchase from you. During this period, there should be no problems.

Good luck on the roads!

Anastasia-95

Good afternoon, please tell me how to solve the problem! In 2016, the car was sold, the sales contract was lost, there was no connection with the new owner. The tax on this car comes to the former owner for 2 years, the traffic police said that this car was registered to the previous owner. How, in this case, is it better to deregister a car: due to loss or disposal? Or is there some other way to solve the problem?

I sold the car, the new owner did not register it on himself, I lost the DKP when moving, there is also no way to contact him. How can I deregister a car?

Bought the car in 2003. I put it on an account in the city of N.

In 2007, she moved to live in city 2 and put it on temporary registration (there was no other way to get through). At the same time, they issued a new STS, and put the old one in a safe in the traffic police. The numbers have not changed. No entries were made in the PTS.

In 2014 I came to change everything back. They took it out of the safe and gave the old STS.

2019 decided to sell the car. And it turns out that he is deregistered. The solution to the problem is to register with the issuance of new numbers.

For 5 years I paid taxes, fines, I looked like officially, insurance. They stopped many times, punched through the bases. Nobody said anything.

Isn't this a traffic police error?

Elena, in this case, you need to find out for what reason the registration of the car was terminated. To do this, you need to contact the traffic police for clarification.

It is possible that this is a mistake.

Good luck on the roads!

hello, please tell me:

my dad once (in the 90s)

there was a caterpillar tractor, and he presented it to the military unit at the place of residence (Far East, JAO) without any documentation. And now, after so much time (and he has been living and registered in Bashkiria since 2002), the amount of the outstanding debt for this tractor has been removed from him. Questions: 1. Can he deregister this agricultural transport at the place of residence? (due to loss)

2. where to submit this application? and 3. Do they have the right to withdraw debt from a pensioner?

thank you in advance for your response.

Halite, Hello.

1, 2. The rules for the state registration of tractors, self-propelled road-building and other machines and trailers for them by the bodies of state supervision over the technical condition of self-propelled machines do not say that a tractor can be deregistered in any division. That is, you need to contact exactly the department where the tractor was registered.

3. In general, the legislation does not prohibit the collection of debts from pensioners.

Good luck on the roads!

Anastasia-100

I sold the car on 10/08/18 under a sales contract, the tax authorities remove it on 02/09/19, due to a traffic police request. How to remove 4 months of tax?

No way. It was necessary 10 days after the DCT to go to the traffic police and deregister the car in connection with the sale.

Victor-152

Hello, on March 1, I sold a car under the DCT. On March 7, the buyer got into an accident, now he is waiting for the results. The car has not yet been registered. On the PCA website, I found out that two policies were registered on my car registration number. Mine (I live in the Altai Territory) and someone else's (Chelyabinsk region). It turns out that in Russia there are two identical car numbers. Reg number (my Nissan car is an example), someone else's Honda SRV. Please tell me what to do. Thank you

Victor, Hello.

What exactly do you want to achieve in this situation?

It is unlikely that the same number plates were issued for 2 cars. Most likely a database error.

Good luck on the roads!

Mikhail-224

Good day everyone! Can you advise me.

The car (Gazelle) was previously sold under insurance so that the new owner could pick it up and drive it. In the future, they were going to deregister in the traffic police, but!

1-The person on whom the vehicle is registered, due to the prevailing circumstances, ended up in places of deprivation of liberty and received a decent term.

2- The one who bought the car under insurance almost immediately got into an accident and sold the car for auto-parsing for s / h. Well, what's left of her. And the documents were simply destroyed.

Now the owner (to whom the vehicle is registered) receives the transport tax. Being in the MLS naturally does not exempt him from transport tax.

How to deregister a vehicle if there is neither a vehicle nor documents from it. He doesn't even remember the license plate of the car.

It is necessary to write some kind of explanatory note to the traffic police indicating the reasons? Can they take the car off the register?

interesting question, I would like to hear a competent answer

Michael, Hello.

According to the current rules, it is necessary to remove the car from the register only in case of theft, moving abroad and during disposal.

But when the owner changes, all the hassle of registering the car falls on the new owner.

How to remove a car from the traffic police, and what documents to submit, we will tell further.

Previously, until 2014, deregistration of a car was quite simple - such a procedure was carried out at the conclusion of a contract of sale, donation (another transaction that involves a change of ownership).

At the same time, the seller of the vehicle had to independently deregister the car, draw up all the necessary paperwork, obtain transit numbers and transfer all this to the buyer.

Most often, the buyer came on the same day and to the same department of the traffic police and again submitted documents to the inspection staff, to issue a car in his name. To reduce this procedure to a minimum, a new administrative regulation was approved.

The main innovation of the document is that the seller no longer needs to worry where possible, since this is the responsibility of the new owner.

When does a car need to be deregistered?

However, in some cases, it is necessary to deregister a vehicle with the traffic police with obtaining transit numbers:

• theft - if the car was stolen, the owner must definitely contact the traffic police department with a request to deregister;
• leaving Russia - if you are traveling abroad for a long time, the car is deregistered for vehicle registration in another country;
• recycling - if the car owner decides to use the vehicle recycling program and hands over the car to the state, then his main duty is to remove the car from the registration with the traffic police so that he is not charged a transport tax;
• the new owner ignored his obligation to register the car. If after 10 days the buyer has not applied for registration, the seller is obliged to initiate this procedure on his own.

Deregistration with simultaneous registration

Despite the fact that the seller does not deregister the car, it cannot be said that deregistration is not performed. In fact, deregistration of the previous owner and registration of the new one is carried out simultaneously.

In the case of a car sale, the seller does not come with the buyer to the traffic police and does not control the entire re-registration procedure.

The seller only needs to put his signature on the TCP and conclude a sale and purchase transaction. is carried out in this way:

1. After the new owner submits the documents at the registration window, the traffic police check the car for various bases.
2. After that, the experts inspect the vehicle, check all the numbers: engine, body, other parts with the data specified in the documents for the car.
3. Next, a forensic check is carried out, during this procedure it is determined whether he is wanted or not involved in any criminal schemes.
4. Automatic reconciliation of documentation for the machine is carried out according to a single database for the Russian Federation;
5. After all the above procedures and after checking the data about the buyer, the car is removed from the register, and it is automatically transferred to the account with data about the new owner.

Consequently, deregistration has not been canceled, the order of this procedure has simply changed. Deregistration of a car is now much easier and faster.

However, it is impossible to sell a car with an encumbrance under the new rules. If the vehicle has a bank lien or other restrictions, then the vehicle will be denied re-registration.

Removal of the machine due to disposal

As already noted, when disposing of the vehicle, it is subject to removal to the traffic police. If your car has become unusable, then in order to dispose of it, you first need to find a company that deals with recycling.

After the owner agrees on the disposal, he needs to contact the traffic police to deregister the car in connection with the subsequent disposal. If possible, the car should be inspected by the traffic police.

After all stages of checking the vehicle and data about the owner, the citizen is issued documents on the removal of the car and within 1 month after deregistration it is necessary to dispose of the vehicle.

Remember that after deregistration with the traffic police for disposal, the vehicle cannot be sold, donated or made any other deal. The rules for deregistration in connection with the disposal of vehicles were also slightly simplified.

Previously, before deregistering a car for recycling, it was necessary to conduct an examination of the vehicle, however, due to the fact that most of the cars are already non-transportable, the requirement to conduct an examination has now been canceled.

Travel abroad

If the car is transported to another country in connection with the departure for permanent residence, then the Russian license plates are surrendered, and the traffic police issues transit numbers. Temporary numbers are valid for 20 days. In this case, the owner needs to take the following actions:

• to de-register, a citizen arrives at the traffic police department. It is allowed to rent a car in any of the traffic inspection departments;
• traffic police officers should submit documents for a car: registration certificate, title, passport, insurance policy;
• the owner writes a statement to remove the car from the register for the subsequent export of the car from Russia. The column on the reason for deregistration indicates: “in connection with the departure to Romania, Greece, France, etc.”;
• the car is checked for possible encumbrances: fines, arrests, etc.;
• at the last stage, the traffic police issue permits and transit numbers to the owner of the car.

If necessary, the inspector can find out from the owner the purpose of the export of the car, request additional papers. It is also necessary to deregister a car in the case when the vehicle is transported to another country for sale.

You can drive on transit numbers only temporarily, if the car owner drives on such numbers for more than 20 days, then he can be fined 500-800 rubles. It is best to remove the car from registration just before leaving the country.

Removing a car in case of theft

If the car is stolen, the car owner needs to file a statement with the police to initiate a criminal case on this fact. After that, you should also write an application for deregistration of the traffic police. In this case, the following documents must be submitted in order to de-register:

• passport of the owner of the stolen car;
• notification from the police station;
• if available, a vehicle registration certificate is submitted;
• application of the owner for deregistration.

If the car is found and transferred to the rightful owner, the vehicle can be registered again. In addition, in some cases, the legislation allows forced deregistration. In particular, this is possible if there is a court decision on the return or transfer of the car to another person.

What to do if the new owner has not registered the car

If the buyer ignored his obligation to register the car with the traffic police, but, despite this, he operates the car, all fines and transport tax will be issued to the previous owner, since it is his data that is indicated in the traffic police database.

To insure yourself, it is best for the seller to keep a copy of the vehicle passport, which indicates the marks on the change of ownership of the car.

In such a situation, the seller must immediately contact the traffic police department and attach the following documents:

• a statement indicating that the car was sold and is owned by another person;
• copies of the documentation for the car;
• a copy of the sales agreement.

When concluding a sale and purchase transaction, a special mark is affixed in the vehicle passport about the change of ownership with the signature of the new owner and the date of sale. If within 10 days the new owner does not contact the traffic police, the seller must report the transaction. After that, a new car owner will be searched.

If, during this time, fines and taxes were imposed on the buyer (but were issued in the name of the seller), he will not be able to register the car until he pays all costs.
