In 2019, AMR numbers in Moscow have practically lost their thieves' value, many just want to get a beautiful combination of letters and numbers.
What are car numbers
In Russia, most state numbers for a car are made according to the rules of GOST R 50577-93, which was adopted in 1993 and has not changed much since then.
The GOST states that the numbers of military, route, diplomatic vehicles, as well as trailers, motorcycles and special equipment may differ from the standard one.
In addition to official differences, citizens came up with combinations of letters and numbers indicating the privileged position of the owner.
Standard numbers are printed with a combination of 3 letters and 3 numbers, which cannot be the same as an already existing number.
The numbers mean the number itself, and the letters indicate the character series. The law allows the use of 12 Cyrillic letters, which coincide with the Latin alphabet.
October 15, 2013 in Russia has changed the regulations for the registration of vehicles. The new rules established that when changing the owner of a car, it is allowed to keep the old license plate (except for obsolete Soviet numbers) if it is in good condition.
There should be no cracks, dents or abrasions on the sign, numbers and letters are easy to read. If you want to save a damaged number, you can make a duplicate in the traffic police. In 2019, instead of registration and deregistration, citizens undergo a re-registration procedure, which allows them to keep rare numbers.
Issuance procedure
State signs are issued when registering a new car in the traffic police. Most drivers get a random combination of numbers and letters that they can't influence.
However, among some drivers, a beautiful combination, for which they are willing to pay, is considered important.
WITH There are 2 options to get a special number:
- through acquaintances in the traffic police during the initial registration of a car, but this method is prohibited by law;
- buy a car with beautiful numbers from another owner.
There are several sites on the Internet that sell the numbers of the Federal Security Service, the presidential administration, etc. Such signs cost several tens of millions of rubles and appear quite rarely.
When the driver buys numbers, you need to approach the insurer and update the information in the OSAGO policy. Otherwise, it will be invalid.
What does AMP mean?
Thieves signs appeared in the Soviet Union. The first wave of beautiful numbers began in 1939, when Red Army vehicles received numbers with the letter A and could drive through territories closed to others without presenting documents. Government vehicles received MA marks.
In Moscow and in Russia as a whole, the special AMP97 series is considered the most thieves and expensive. These numbers were formed after the replacement of signs with the Russian flag. They cannot be bought, only rented.
AMR is put on company cars the most prominent officials, for example, deputies of the State Duma, officials of the FSO, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the RF IC, the Federation Council, etc. If there is such a sign on the car, the traffic police inspectors know that high-ranking officials are sitting in the car.
The second most prestigious number is AMP77, it is more realistic to buy it for money ordinary drivers. These cars in the past belonged to the Central Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, now the cars have been transferred to private owners.
They rarely appear on sale, there are many buyers. The number AMP77 costs from a million rubles and more. The most expensive is the A0 ** MP777 series, that is, the first 100 cars produced with these marks.
The remaining AMR numbers (except 77) cannot be bought without a close acquaintance with high-ranking officials and other government officials.
Deciphering thieves numbers
In Russia, there are still combinations of numbers printed in an edition of up to 100 pieces, which are especially valued among wealthy drivers:
| From A001MP97 to A136MP97 | The Government, the Federation Council, the State Duma, etc. have these numbers. Each state apparatus owns no more than 50 cars with such numbers |
| From A137MP97 to A201MP97 | They belong to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Central Electoral Commission. There are less than 70 such numbers |
| From A203MP97 to A369MP97 | Assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, now private owners have numbers (about 170 pieces) |
| A362MR97 | Owned by Yu.M. Luzhkov, who travels accompanied by a traffic police car with numbers A18 ** 99 |
| From A370MP97 to A400MP97 | The cars belong to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other federal agencies. Numbers less than 20 pieces |
| From A371 to A37497 | Assigned to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, one of the rooms belonged to Mikhalkov, now bought out by a private owner |
| From A401MP97 to A600MP97. | The numbers belong to the directors of the executive authorities in different regions Russia. There are less than 90 such signs in Moscow. Another 90 belong to the heads of executive power in nearby regions of the country |
| From A401MP97 to A489MP97 | The signs belong to the governors of various regions of the country. There are only 4 of them in Moscow and the region, these numbers are not available to private drivers for any money. |
| From A501MP97 to A589MP97 | The numbers are assigned to the largest speakers of the country. There are less than 85 of them in Russia, most of them are located in Moscow. Such signs are prohibited for sale. |
| From A601MP97 to A697MP07 | The signs are designed for the federal structures of the country. The majority belongs to the Courier Service, the Ministry of Turnover and Rosfinmonitoring also have it. Less than 100 issues released |
| From A698MP97 to A999MP97 | Numbers from Rosstat, the Federal Security Service and Rosatom. There are more than 200 of them, so they are the cheapest and most affordable on the market. |
How to get a nice number
To buy a rare AMR number, a citizen must have a large amount of money. In 2015, the number of the government series was put up, for which they demanded 15 million rubles. Badge A082MR97 belonged to the head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries.
It was not sold separately from the car, but together with the used Audi A8 L, for which it is registered. The agency decided to put the car up for sale almost immediately after the law allowed to keep the numbers when changing ownership. It was bought almost instantly, the owner's details were not disclosed.
There are many offers on the Internet for the sale of rare or thieves, but it is almost impossible to find the AMP sign. For example, mirror figures in Moscow cost about 30 thousand, repeated figures can be found for 100 thousand.
The more beautiful the combination of letters, the more expensive the final cost will be. The scheme of sale is always the same: rare signs are installed on old cheap cars, formally a citizen buys Soviet car, but in fact receives unusual state numbers.
Gradually, more and more thieves' numbers appear on the black market. Prices for AMR start at 2 million rubles and are quickly sorted out, but you can contact the dealer and find out about the available combinations of letters and numbers. AMR can only be rented, you cannot buy such numbers.
Often our attention on the road is caught by “beautiful” license plates. They are usually called thieves, because getting this can hardly be called a happy accident. Coinciding or mirror letters and numbers, as well as combinations endowed with special meaning. Everyone was probably engaged in a peculiar decoding of such "thieves" numbers, but in fact, many of them have a very specific background and can give certain signal traffic police officers and other road users. It is impossible to give an unambiguous decoding to all license plates, so the list contains the most common of them.
MOSCOW
EKH77 - numbers allocated for cars of the Federal Security Service (FSO) of the Russian Federation. A common version of the decoding of such a set of letters is the story once presented in the Autopilot magazine. According to her, wanting to add to the already assigned to the FSO AAA series new, the head of the service, Yuri Krapivin, turned to Boris Yeltsin, who was then president of the Russian Federation. Together they chose EKH as an abbreviation for Yeltsin+Krapivin=Good. The official decoding is considered to be "a single Kremlin economy." There is another option that has taken root among the people - "I eat as I want." Now this series can be seen infrequently.

Deciphering thieves' license plates will help you understand a little better what is happening on the road. Take advantage of the opportunity to re-register a car with the preservation of numbers, if you do not want to part with your license plate when changing cars.
In this article, we will try to list some series of car numbers that are used by people and organizations close to the authorities in the Russian Federation. The numbers from the above list often give the car a certain advantage on the road, but the main thing is not to attribute “marking” to the wrong vehicles at all.
To begin with, it should be noted that FSB operational vehicles may have different state registration numbers. Therefore, here we will not deal with their useless enumeration, and we will also leave the military and "blue" numbers alone.
Let's start decoding the state numbers with the cars of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation - EKH99. This series appeared instead of EKX77, and EKX177, which was used during the summit held in St. Petersburg, was then put into storage.
The EKX97 series also belongs to the FSO and other departments that have the appropriate immunity.
How to recognize the car of the FSB or the UD of the President
One part of the signs from the XKX77 series is in the possession of the FSB, and the other was in demand among wealthy people and therefore was sold.
AMP97 numbers appeared to replace the "flag" signs (except for the AAAFL series), which were canceled. If numbers from the eighth hundred are applied, the decoding of the letters on the numbers indicates belonging to the FSB. Numbers from the first two dozen correspond to the government, and from the third ten - to the Presidential Administration. This includes, in particular, the former WAAFL.
License plates from the AAAFL series, which hung on the transport of the country's top officials, as well as accompanying cars, were subsequently replaced by a large number of conventional TRK177, OOT177 and HRK177. Moreover, the head of the Federal Security Service put a number from the EKX99 series on his car.
Cars that are assigned to the fleet of the Presidential Administration are equipped with numbers from the AOO77, MOO77, BOO77 and COO77 series. If the car has a lighthouse, then a courier (special postman) from the State Fiscal Service of the Russian Federation is traveling in it. However, these vehicles are deprived of any advantages on the road.
Numbers of the State Duma, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service and other bodies
The KOO77 series used to belong to the Constitutional Court, but after the abolition of numbers with the tricolor, these signs were placed on cars that did not have beacons (AAKFL series).
The decoding of the series of numbers AKP177, EKR177, VKR177 and KKR177 is as follows - they appeared on in large numbers cars that previously drove under the "blue" state registration plates.
Almost three hundred issues of the EP177 series went to our State Duma, where they were used instead of the canceled "flag" ones.
After the introduction of signs of blue color The Ministry of Internal Affairs has started selling the numbers AMP77, KMP77, BMP77, OMP77, MMP77, TMP77 and UMP77. But at the same time, a certain number of cars on AMP77, MMP77 and KMP77 remained subordinate to this department.
PMP77 - numbers of the Ministry of Justice, the prosecutor's office, the Federal Penitentiary Service, etc.
The AMO77 series is almost completely assigned to the cars of the Moscow City Hall.
Well, they are completing the decoding of thieves' car numbers of the NAA99, CAA99, TAA99 and XAA99 series. Such signs can be either at the FSB or research institutes, or at a cool private trader.

* - asterisk marks state series. numbers that can be installed on cars of individuals who have a good connection with the traffic police.
They have differences: the number may differ in design (each state has its own appearance of the license plate), information that may be contained there (in addition to the unique numeric and alphabetic code, the license plate may contain the numeric code of the region). In addition to these differences, car numbers of various public services also have their own characteristics.
On such cars, you can see the number 3a with the letter code ECX and AMP. In particular, many are concerned about the question: what does it mean ECX number? At the same time, such “interesting” numbers can also be found on ordinary-looking civilian vehicles, but with a blinker.
What does the ECX number mean?
Cars equipped with a license plate with this letter code belong to the FSO of the Russian Federation. This designation is most popular in 77, 99, 199,177 and 97 regions. Special Series numbers, ECX, is typical for road transport registered in Russia.
These license plates have been around for a long time. Therefore, not one motorist, standing in a traffic jam, wondered who owns the ECX numbers. Indeed, for drivers of cars equipped with such a license plate, there is no such thing as a traffic jam. Yes and the rules traffic they are only conditional.
What do the letters on the ECX numbers mean?
In order to find out what the ECX number means, you must remember that the numbers with this designation belong to the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. For a more detailed study of the information, you need to delve a little into history.
At the time of the appearance of the EKH series of numbers, the official decoding of the abbreviation was the phrase: "a single Kremlin economy." There was another, comic interpretation of the transcript: “Yeltsin + Krapivin = Good” (Yuri Krapivin was the head of the Federal Security Service at the time the series appeared, and it was he who offered Yeltsin to the already appeared series of privileged AAA numbers add one more). There is also a purely folk translation: “I eat as I want” (most soft version decryption).
In addition to the EKH, there are a number of other indices of government structures, information on which is presented in the table below.
Table of license plates
The table below will show the most common "interesting" numbers that give some advantage on the road over other road users (these license plates imply the installation of a "quack" and a flashing beacon on the car). At the same time, it is obvious that the car must match its license plate and lighthouse (executive class car).
Number | Office | Information |
FSO, FSB, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Investigative Committee, Prosecutor's Office | This series has become a replacement for numbers with the image of a flag, used by high-ranking officials of a number of state structures of the Russian Federation. Rooms of such a plan are almost impossible to buy, but can be rented for a very, very rather big amount. |
|
The most popular number series in Russia. It has a special weight in 77, 99, 199.177 and 97 regions. Although in any other case, for example, the number ECX 98, will cause close attention of other road users. |

|
AOO77, BOO77, MOO77, COO77 | Office of the President of the Russian Federation. | They may appear on sale, sometimes even car numbers with a nice number combination come across. They ideally "combine" with cars that, by their model, coincide with the presidential fleet. |

Law on "flashing lights" and special numbers
Before the law was introduced that regulates the appearance on the capital's roads of cars with "interesting" license plates and flashing beacons, there were countless cars of this kind (and their drivers behaved in the most insolent way, allowing, for example, oncoming lane, crossing a double solid lane, grossly exceeding the speed limit, etc.).
Therefore, in Presidential Decree No. 635 of May 19, 2012, a list of institutions and organizations was approved that could be installed on departmental vehicles flashing beacons. The heads of the departments included in the list compiled a list of persons who could drive these cars. On this moment the quota is 591 cars, but it is quite strongly exceeded.
Due to the officially announced list, numbers that "hint" of belonging to any state structure or organization have become highly valued on the black market. For example, in order to find out how much an ECX number in Moscow costs, you need not only to have an approximate amount in stock, but also a number of connections that will “lead” to the seller. It is worth adding that this amount of money will not be small.
Advantages of cars with special plates and flashing beacons
Cars on which, as well as those that have license plates of the "privileged" series, have a number of advantages over other road users:
- Traffic police officers are required not to obstruct traffic this car, if it has a flashing beacon on, if necessary, ensure the safety of the movement of this vehicle and accompany it to its destination.
- The rest of the road users must pass this car.
- Cars with a flashing beacon can be ignored road markings and road signs.
Based on the above advantages, it becomes clear that certain license plates make it possible to install a flashing beacon on a car, which, in turn, can greatly simplify the life of a motorist in the metropolitan area.
How to get a "privileged" number?
The highest value is only that which is not in mass availability. This saying is the best suited to numbers that increase the prestige and status of the motorist, and also “endow” him with a number of advantages over other road users.
Firstly, in order to obtain such a number, it is necessary to have connections among high-ranking officials, it is these people who can provide information that any number from an “interesting” series has been transferred to the public.
Secondly, you need to have a fairly large amount of money: in the range from 1 to 5 million rubles. Yes, the price is not low, but a simple layman does not need to have a number that allows you to ignore the rules of the road.
Thirdly, the car must also match the number: it is unlikely that a high-ranking representative of the Russian FSB will move around the city in a VAZ-2107 or Daewoo Matiz.
FSO numbers: history and reality
Many motorists are wondering: who owns the ECX numbers? These license plates are used on FSO vehicles, or rather on vehicles intended for high-ranking officials of this department.
The designation itself came into use in the mid-1990s of the last century thanks to the initiative of the then head of the FSO, Yuri Krapivin. At the moment, a number of ECX numbers are in private hands, and some are still owned by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
Thus, in order to find out who drives with ECX numbers, it’s enough just to delve a little into the history of the FSO department.
Interesting facts about car numbers
The topic of car license plates only at first glance seems boring and uninteresting. In fact, they have in their individual history a number of significant events that have contributed to their current appearance and purpose. Below are some of the most interesting facts regarding license plates:
- 1901 - the appearance of the first nominal license plate.
- 1904 - issue of the first license plate in Russia.
- 1933 - appearance standard rooms in USSR. It is worth noting that the numbers were issued to the owners of cars and motorcycles ( motorcycle number had the form of a transverse plate mounted on the front fender), numbers for tractors appeared only in 1958.
- In 1965, 25 numbers were issued in the USSR for the highest ranks of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and this was on condition that there were no official special numbers in the USSR.
- Previously, black numbers were used in the USSR, now the military has these. Number replacement began in 1980, with both white and black numbers being issued. Some old-style black numbers can still be seen on civilian cars.
- After the flight into space, Yuri Gagarin received as a gift a Volga with the number 12-04 and the letter designation YuAG (12-04 is the date of the flight, YuAG is the cosmonaut's initials). Later, the abbreviation YuAG became the letter designation for the vehicles of the cosmonauts and the city of Zvezdny, and the numbers on the numbers indicated the dates of the flights.
- The first license plates were made of heavy laminated steel, and they did not have standard mounting holes, so such numbers were easy enough to lose.

Results
So, summing up the above, it is worth saying that the ECX number belongs to the FSO department. At the same time, it is impossible not to mention that given number some individuals who were able to purchase it on the black market also have it.
In addition to the abbreviation EKH, there are many other “interesting” numbers in use, which indicate that the car belongs to one or another departmental state structure. At the same time, “state numbers” have their own hierarchy: for example, a number that indicates belonging to the FSB is valued much more than a special communications or field communications number.
What do special license plates give? As a rule, they allow you to freely use flashing beacons on cars, and those, in turn, somewhat ignore the rules of the road. This helps a lot with traffic jams.
To buy a number with an "interesting" index, you need to have the appropriate connections, as well as a fairly large amount of money. Obviously, the car must also correspond to the status of the number.
So, after a presidential decree appeared in 2012, which listed government departments that could use flashing beacons on their cars, there were an order of magnitude fewer such cars in the capital and regions. But, in turn, given move became the catalyst for the real hunt for "thieves" numbers. Ordinary motorists can only slightly distinguish such numbers from ordinary ones and wonder if there is really a representative of this department in a car with FSB numbers, or if someone with connections decided to make life easier on the capital's road.
So what does the ECX number mean? It belongs to the FSO. official transcript is the phrase: “The Unified Kremlin Economy”, although the phrase has received the translation “I eat as I want” among the people.
In 2013, a document came into force that simplifies the purchase and sale of cars. In this regard, for the number sellers - the golden time has come. While the authorities are trying in vain to make the sale of numbers legal, private traders make good money on this. Until recently, in order to get a beautiful number, "garters" in the authorities were necessary, but now, it is enough to agree with any person whose number you liked.
Excursion into history
Back in the days of the USSR, only various special services of the FSB or FSO and state bodies cut through the avenues with beautiful numbers. However, after the collapse of the socialist society, this fashion for numbers did not even think of dying.
All law enforcement agencies still travel with thieves' registration numbers: the regional code is two sevens, the government symbol and the tricolor. At the same time, the popular three Annas (“AAA”), three “Seeds” (CSS), and not so catchy “pieces of iron” of the Moscow City Hall (“AMO77”) appeared, among judicial workers - BOO, MOO, COO77. Employees of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSO) could be easily recognized by seeing a car with letters"EKH".
The ninety-ninth region code appeared only in 1998, but this did not make it less thieves series, but on the contrary, they only increased. But it was not possible to acquire them from hands without having a good comrade in law enforcement agencies.
It has always been customary to present interesting performances to outstanding luminaries of science, culture and art, all kinds of artists, and other stars. So, the Soviet and Russian pop singer Iosif Davydovich Kobzon drives a Mercedes with state signs "M777MM99". Four years later, the situation with the "pieces of iron" has changed. They changed color: they became blue, and since 2007 the tricolors were changed to "AMP97" and the state elite switched to more modest numbers with three-digit codes "SKR197", "EKR777", etc.
Current days
To date, the once former cool numbers such as Ol, and An lost their status and became an ordinary accessory without privileges on the roads. However, apparently from old memory, more than one inspector of the State traffic inspectorate will not risk his health to stop a car with the letters "EKX" or "AMP97".
This is due to the fact that it was not possible to buy such numbers before, they belonged only government agencies. However, there was one exceptional case when the Federal Tourism Agency sold a car with the number "A082MR97" to a private owner, who immediately rolled it out for sale for 10 million rubles.
Such privileges became available immediately after the release of the relevant bill, according to which the car no longer needed to be deregistered in order to be sold. That is, you can put up a car for sale already with a state number according to the corresponding document. By the way, the need to link the number to the registration address of the car also disappeared, which made it possible to register the car in any traffic police department throughout Russia. In turn, the number storage time has increased to 180 days.
The short shelf life contributed to the fact that numbers were assigned to dilapidated cars, because in a month a buyer might not be found. Most often, Oka was attracted for such needs. After all, pay transport tax you don’t need it, compulsory civil liability insurance is cheap, and you can transfer the car directly with signs.
The mass distribution of series such as "AAA", "MMM", "LLC" contributed to the fact that they appeared in many ordinary citizens of our country. But the sweetest "feast" started at the end of 2012, when the stocks of numbers with the code 197 ran out in the capital of our Motherland. Then the employees of the capital traffic police were forced to give out interesting serial numbers, including such as "BBB", "EEE", "HNN", "PPR", "UUU".
The same situation operated in many cities of our country, where even the regional "AMR" and "EKH" were awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. But they did not carry any value there, but this did not prevent intermediaries from selling them. Another wave of interesting state signs is associated with the introduction of such a regional code as 777, then ordinary citizens were given the series "AAA", "MMM" and other repeating letters of the same type.
Where to buy?
It is not difficult to buy special numbers today. There are specialized sites on the global network and all kinds of forums where any sufferer can easily sell his number. In order to choose a room to your liking, you need to enter the correct query into the search engine and be surprised by the search result: namely, a huge number of interesting numbers.
Even employees of the State traffic inspectorate do not hesitate to sell interesting license plates, hanging them on old cars. In contact or Odnoklassniki, you can also stumble upon a huge number of messages in which users sell signs on used cars. Even in today's trendy social network Instagram.
How much do thieves cost?
For thieves like "AMP77" or outlandish combinations like "X888XX99" they usually ask for 17-1.8 million Russian money. However, this figure is far from the limit. For example, repeating combinations of numbers up to 100 - their price can be more than five million wooden ones.
The motive of the sellers is clear if you hang the number "AMP77" on good car, that is, the option that the traffic police will let her pass on the road, thinking that the owner of such a car is definitely not from mere mortals. This logic works flawlessly, given that cars with such numbers drive along the restricted lane in Moscow. However, beautiful numbers most likely will not save you from more serious violations. By the way, you can also part with a million rubles when buying a number like this: “O001OO 77 region”.
Another way to give status to your car is with the help of numbers indicating the model of the car. For example, Mercedes - 600, Porsche - 911, etc. Surprisingly, numbers like "777 777" delight people from the North Caucasus. The price of such a sign is about six hundred thousand Russian money. And for the number "AAA777" they will ask about 200 thousand rubles. The same prices for the signs "MMM" and "OOO". State signs like "VOO, MOO" will cost one and a half thousand Russian money. However, such numbers will look most presentable on the following brands such as Ford Focus, Ford Mondeo, Audi A6.
Five sevens or the same number of nines will cost you five hundred thousand wooden ones, or even more. Three times cheaper - three sixes. But more “earthly” numbers with the numbers two sevens and two nines can generally be bought for 10,000 rubles. Fans of unusual numbers staged a big stir around such combinations as “THIEF”, “HAM”, “Dick”.
By the way, the signs of the Leningrad region are much more attractive in value than those of Moscow, to say nothing of the cities of the Russian Federation, where special numbers can generally be purchased at bargain prices. It should also be noted that the cost of these rooms is essentially an invention of the sellers themselves. Therefore, it is possible and necessary to bargain here. Often sellers go for discounts in order to make a sale faster.
How to purchase a number?
Let's imagine a situation: you saw a number you liked and even agreed with the owner to buy it, but how to do it without breaking the law? After all register sign- This state property and is issued to the owner of the car when he puts his " iron horse» for registration. To do this, you need to change the owner of the car. Experts in this situation see three ways to resolve the issue:
- Sale of state numbers together with private car. This operation is quite simple and legal, which is important. In this case, the owner of the "beautiful number" sells you his "swallow" along with the number in accordance with the contract for the sale of a car. In turn, the buyer (that is, you) registers it with the State traffic inspectorate and receives new state numbers, and saves the desired “beautiful” ones for storage (the sign can be stored according to the law for 60 days). After that, return the car with new numbers to the owner, and register a beautiful sign on your vehicle.
- You can sell your personal car owner of an interesting number. In this case, he will have to re-register his car and get new state signs, then the desired number itself is put on your car, and already it returns to you with those state signs themselves.
- For the third option of buying a beautiful number, you need an intermediary car. That is, the third vehicle for making a deal, which the owner of a beautiful number should buy and get a number for it, leaving behind the old one, the one that is beautiful. Then a beautiful number is hung on the third wheelbarrow and sold to someone who wants to buy a beautiful number. The buyer, in turn, registers it with the State Traffic Inspectorate, receives new numbers, leaving a beautiful number again for storage. Then the car with new numbers is returned to the owner, and the buyer registers a beautiful number for his own car.
All three methods are absolutely legal, since they became possible due to the imperfection of the current legislation. In some cases, additional costs may apply.
Unexpected expenses
These cash expenditures are connected with the process of re-registration of cars and there is no hiding or hiding from them. This standard conditions that fit into a small list. However, it is necessary to take into account the factor that the numbers here are approximate, since they will be different for each situation.
List of contingencies:
- - Purchasing a policy compulsory insurance civil liability for purchased motor vehicle. Here the cost will depend on how powerful your motor is. Experts advise taking up to 100 Horse power, since then part of its price will be possible to return.
- - Registration of a car and the issuance of new state signs is 2500 rubles.
- - To re-register a car, on average, it will cost 500 rubles.
It should be added that when choosing a way to buy a beautiful number from the three above, the last - the third is the most expensive (about 10-11 thousand), the first two will require investments from 5-6 thousand rubles.
About the contract
You will be forced to draw up sales contracts in any case, no matter what method you choose to purchase an interesting number. And not alone. In the first two cases, there are two contracts in two versions, in the third - three, since exactly so many cars are involved in the transaction.
There is one more important detail, which allows you to avoid tax - when selling, indicate an amount of less than 250,000 rubles. You also need to be vigilant and take into account a number of curious nuances:
- Deal only with trusted companies, as there is a risk of running into criminals. In the second method, this is most likely, since there you transfer your car in essence to a stranger and if he turns out to be not conscientious, he will hide with him far and for a long time. After all, the document buying and selling already registered for this person.
- In order to issue a policy, you need a car for up to three years, otherwise you will need to invest more in the inspection of technicians.
- To register a car with the traffic police, he must at least drive. That is, a "feint" with frank auto-junk will not work here.
- Check the VIN code on the body of the vehicle, it must not be damaged. Otherwise, the car may well be confiscated.
- Trucks or buses are not suitable as an arbitrator, as you may not have the right category for them.
Abroad also love beautiful numbers
In the vast majority of European countries, you can give your car a certain gloss or even humor with the help of beautiful numbers. Any uncle Vasya who has a desire and a tight wallet can afford it. This service is completely legal. However, the issuance rules special number and its price depends entirely on the rules in force in a particular state. In Belgium, a beautiful room costs 1000 euros, in Germany the rooms are the most expensive and can cost as little as 13 euros.
This amount includes the state sign and its mandatory reserve. In Austria, getting a beautiful number will be 227.2 euros. In turn, the authorities may not approve the issuance of a number if they consider it offensive or indecent. In Switzerland, an interesting number will cost 10,000 francs. In this case, the price fluctuates depending on its attractiveness. But after receiving the coveted number, it can be sold at auction.
It is curious that in Sweden numbers are attached not to a car, but to a person and are valid for ten whole years. The inhabitants of this country are really lucky, because they can change cars without changing the number. Such rooms cost 6,000 euros, which, frankly, is not cheap at all.
In the USA and Great Britain, there is generally expanse: there numbers are not attached to either a person or a territory. That is, in these countries you can choose any unoccupied state sign. Especially, this privilege is liked by visitors from Russia, who come up with funny combinations of letters and numbers for their iron horses.
In countries of Eastern Europe, for example, in the same Poland, you can become the owner of a beautiful number for 240 euros. However, as in Germany, it will necessarily contain the area code. This required condition. Otherwise, you can choose any alphanumeric combination, except for outright insults, of course. But in Latvia, as well as in the United States of America, the system for obtaining "beautiful" numbers is simple. After all, there is no binding to the region and, in general, you can write anything you like: vip, boss, or something like that. The main condition is not to repeat. But here you will have to pay for a good "show-off" with a tidy sum - 3,560 euros.
Estonians can order individual number. It will cost exactly 1350 euros. If you order a number with repeated letters, you will have to pay 470 euros. In Lithuania, the local authorities demand that the state registration number there was at least one number. In this regard, drivers often resort to tricks. For example, they use the number “0” instead of the letter “O”.
In general, as practice shows, in highly developed countries, the authorities have nothing against beautiful numbers at the state level. Moreover, they manage to make good money on it.
