Title of the car: the main document of the “iron horse. What you need to know when replacing a vehicle passport

A problem for any driver will be the loss or damage of documents for their own transport. How to restore a registration certificate for a car if it was stolen? After all, in similar situation a clone car can be created and fines for any violations will go to the name of a conscientious driver. That is why the mechanism for obtaining a new certificate of registration in case of its loss and theft is somewhat different. How and why, we will tell you in detail.

First, it is worth noting that it is customary to call STS a technical passport for a car, it is also. The driver is always obliged to carry this paper with him, since it is required along with OSAGO and driving license when stopped by a traffic police officer.

Restoring a registration certificate, if it has been lost, usually does not take much time. To issue a duplicate, you will need to submit the following documents:

1. Personal passport.
2. Receipts confirming the payment of state duty.
3. Power of attorney, if the owner of the vehicle is different.
4. OSAGO.
5. A contract of sale in the case when the car was bought recently.
6. If a copy of the certificate remains, you can attach it to the papers.

There are times when STS is lost on a car bought on credit. In such cases, it will be necessary to visit the bank, notify them of the situation and pick up the TCP for a while. If it was lost along with the certificate, then you will first have to deal with the restoration of the passport.

Procedure

The MREO department restores the registration certificate, and it is advisable to visit the department where the car was registered.

The procedure for obtaining a new document is as follows:

1. First you need to come to the MREO and write an application. It reflects not only the fact of the loss of the STS and the desire to get a new one, but also the fact that it was precisely lost. An appropriate note indicating that there is no fact of theft must be made on reverse side.
2. Next, you will need to pay for the services of MREO according to the receipt. It is this paper that provides information that the state duty has been paid.
3. Submission of documents.

The replacement itself is usually similar to receiving a new STS at registration, that is, you will have to wait from 1 hour to 4 hours, depending on how busy the department is.

How to restore a registration certificate for someone else's car by proxy? First you need to come to the notary's office, since no other documents can be submitted as a substitute for this. You need to draw up only the general form of a power of attorney, since it is it that makes it possible to represent the interests of a third party.

Cost of services

How much does it cost to get a new STS? It should be noted that a car owner who has lost his registration certificate will also incur expenses associated with making changes to the TCP, even if he is in in perfect order. This is due to the need to add new data to the document to replace the lost ones. Therefore, you will have to pay 2 state duties at once:

• 350 rubles - this is the amount for paying for services for making entries about the issued certificate in the TCP;
• 500 rubles - this amount must be paid for a new STS.

What if the documents were stolen?

If the owner did not lose his registration certificate, but it was stolen (often also with other documents), then he has 2 ways: to come to the MREO to restore the documents and write a statement that the STS was just lost, or go to the police and write theft report.

Many car owners prefer the first option, since a certificate cannot be obtained until the theft case is closed, and this is possible only after 3-6 months. Naturally, all this time the car cannot be used, because one of the most important documents. But if the certificate is stolen at the same time as other documents, it is still better to write a statement.

To restore the registration certificate in this case, the same package of papers is required, but it will need to be accompanied by a certificate indicating the closure of the criminal case.

Many motorists were faced with the fact that even in the presence of a criminal case, they had to answer for other people's acts, because the attacker provided precisely the stolen documents. That is why some prefer to protect themselves from such unfair decisions. In this case, you need to act according to the scheme:

1. Come to the MREO and restore the STS in one day, indicate that you just lost it. Or you can come a couple of months after the closure of the case, if the statement about the theft has already been written.
2. After the certificate is issued, an application for re-registration of the vehicle must be submitted. It must also indicate that the numbers of the car are changing.
3. Re-registration can be carried out in your own name, but you can also re-register your vehicle in the name of the next of kin.
4. Then it remains only to pay the necessary state fees and wait for the issue of numbers along with new documents.

All these actions are completely legal and they are aimed at not being responsible for deliberate acts on the part of the thief. Of course, this procedure involves more expenses than just restoring the STS, but for some car owners this algorithm is suitable.

Why can they refuse extradition?

Refuse extradition technical passport can in the following cases:

• wanted car;
• suspected theft;
• the presence of restrictions on the performance of registration actions;
• an incomplete list of securities or inconsistency of the data in them with reality.

If in the latter case you can quickly solve the problem, then in other situations you will have to deal with the problems that have arisen. But what to do when you think the refusal is wrong? In such cases, you can try to contact another MREO, and if the issuance of a duplicate was refused there, then you will have to apply either with a statement to the head of the traffic police, or to judiciary with a complaint.

Many drivers believe that the registration certificate and PTS are the same thing, but they are wrong. The registration certificates have sunk into oblivion along with the USSR, gradually being replaced by STS, and not by TCP.

Passport vehicle the owner of the car receives upon purchase. This is a strictly accountable document.. Forms for it are printed by Gosznak, they are designed in blue tones and have dimensions of 30 x 21 cm. They are protected from forgery by watermarks and a protective strip along the edge. Title is often called a registration certificate, but these are different documents.

You need a TCP only for registering a car and obtaining an OSAGO policy. It does not have an expiration date, it starts up on a car at the factory (if the car is made in Russia), or during customs clearance (if the car is imported). If this document is lost or there is a need for a duplicate, you should contact the traffic police at the place of residence.

Respectively, Only four instances have the right to issue titles - the manufacturer, customs or the traffic police. As well as enterprises that re-equip personal vehicles. Such a reconstruction is not entered into the old form, the TCP is completely changed.

This document contains comprehensive technical specifications of the machine. Also, information about all former owners starting from the first. Each of them has its own section. In addition to passport data, the address of registration and the numbers of documents on registration of the vehicle and ownership of it are recorded there.

One form is designed for six owners. If the car passes into the seventh hands, you will have to contact the traffic police for a new form.

Paper "crusts" will be issued only until June 30 this year. Already from July 1, PTS will be made only in in electronic format . Another innovation will be the expansion of information entered into the TCP - information about maintenance, mileage and issued insurance will be added.

Employees of customs authorities registering vehicles of organizations and other services authorized by the state will be able to enter information into the electronic TCP. To do this, they need a statement from the owner.

Why are concepts confused?

In the USSR for Personal car there was one document called "Technical Passport".

It was a small book in a gray cover, where data about the car and its owner were entered. But those times are gone forever, along with them the old registration certificate was abolished.

Instead, it was replaced by the PTS, put into circulation by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 18, 1993 N 477 and STS.

PTS is not a technical passport, but in the popular mind these two concepts are often confused, perhaps because the abbreviation "PTS" contains the word "passport". But the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 24, 2008 N 1001 clearly states that registration documents are only technical passports and vehicle registration certificates that have replaced them.

What it is?

The vehicle registration certificate, or CTC (Vehicle Registration Certificate) confirms that this car registered and belongs to a person with passport data entered in it. They issue it to the traffic police when they register the car or when the owner of the car changes.

Because unlike the TCP, the registration certificate is issued to the owner, and not to the vehicle.

When the car is sold in the salon, along with it new owner receives a complete package of documents required for registration of STS, namely:

• Completed sales contract.
• An invoice showing the value of the vehicle.

They must be brought to the traffic police at the place of residence and write an application, and within the specified time come for a technical passport and numbers.

Why does a car owner need it?

Using the number of this document, guards can punch through the database the following information:

1. Who owns the vehicle.
2. Is it listed as stolen?
3. Whether fines were accrued and whether the owner paid them.

You can’t drive without an STS, even if you carry a TCP in the glove compartment instead, this violates the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, . A traffic police officer who discovers that the driver does not have this document, relying on clause 2.1.1 of the SDA, has the right, at his discretion, to impose any of the following penalties on the violator:

• Oral reprimand without entering - if the STS is absent for a good reason.
• A fine of five hundred rubles, if there are no other violations.
• A fine of up to a thousand rubles - if, in addition to the STS, the guard discovered the absence of another mandatory document.
• A fine of up to two thousand rubles - if the documents for the car are not in order. For example, if the re-registration is overdue.
• A fine of five thousand rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of up to three months, if you have been caught not for the first time in the absence of STS.
• Deprivation of the right to drive vehicles and placing the car in a car impound - if the traffic police officer saw aggravating circumstances.

From the above, it is clear that it is better not to forget STS at home - it will come out more expensive for yourself. And if you forgot - it's better to park the car and go home for him.

Document photo

The registration certificate looks like a small laminated sheet of paper ( old pattern), or as a plastic card ( new sample) pinkish. It is protected by a hologram, which is located on the reverse side from above. Under it are written the series and number, coinciding with the series and TCP number. Also the same entries for specifications car.

All Russian inscriptions are duplicated in Latin.

Below are photo examples of what this document looks like:

Conclusion

Summing up, we can say that there are two main documents for a personal car - Title and STS. None of them is a direct successor to the old Soviet registration certificate. However, the STS is closer to it in terms of functionality, as it is a registration document and is required for driving with you.

The vehicle passport, or PTS, being the main document of any car, contains a lot of important information. PTS has a number of counterfeit protection mechanisms - its first sheet is protected by a hologram, there are watermarks, there is a volumetric text that can change its color depending on the angle of the sheet itself. The original title always has the seal of the automaker or the customs authority.

The series of the document always "starts" with the code of the region of the initial stay of the car, followed by the letters "U" or "T", if the letters are different, this is guaranteed to be a sign that this is not the original TCP, but a later issued duplicate. Despite the full legitimacy of the duplicate, many people are rather wary of purchasing a car with a non-original title, which in some cases is not without reason - often they try to sell credit / mortgage cars with a duplicate.

Duplicate Title - there are few grounds for issuing it

For a car that does not have a criminal trace / legal restrictions, a duplicate title is issued only in three situations:

In the event that a duplicate is provided to the buyer when selling a car, the first thing to think about is whether the car is pledged to the bank. If the original TCP is stored in the bank, then obtaining a duplicate from the traffic police is not a particular problem - it is enough to declare the loss of the original. After the "successful" acquisition of such a car, the new "owner" in most cases will have to part with the car by court order.

In order to protect yourself as much as possible when buying a car with a duplicate of the main document, you should take elementary precautions:

• a deal should be concluded only with the direct owner of the vehicle, which is entered in the TCP, but if he disposes of the car on the basis of a power of attorney, it is still better to refuse to purchase;
• it is necessary to contact the car dealership where the car was originally purchased to clarify the details of the purchase - the seller's information must be indicated both in the TCP and in the service book.

In addition, you can use free services checking the vehicle by its VIN number, having received reliable information about all previous owners, participation specific car in an accident, as well as the presence of outstanding fines. Online you can get information about the availability of auto enforcement proceedings. You can watch the video on how to “read” the PTS correctly:

PTS - differences between the original and the duplicate

Since at present the sale of a vehicle does not require deregistration, the traffic police does not check, and the buyer has to take all the risks associated with a possible criminal past of the car: independently determine the authenticity of the documents provided by the seller. Significant simplification of the sales process provided fraudsters with ample opportunity to commit fraud.

Each buyer should know how to distinguish the original TCP from a duplicate:

• in the column "special marks" on a copy of the document, there must be a stamp "duplicate";
• obligatory presence of protection - watermarks, holographic sticker and voluminous text, just like on the original document;
• when purchasing a used car, its title, as a rule, cannot look like a freshly printed document - scuffs and not the neatest appearance are an indirect sign of the originality of the document.

In order to exclude the possibility of acquiring not only credit car, but also a vehicle with broken numbers, stolen or a car passing on criminal cases, maximum care should be taken. In addition to the above precautions, the following points are also important:

• an impressive list of previous owners of the vehicle should certainly alert the buyer - this is a common means to confuse the tracks;
• it is obligatory to have customs marks (for foreign cars) - otherwise, certain restrictions on the disposal of the car are possible;
• if the document indicates a very remote region of car registration, this can also be a sign of fraud;
• if a car with a duplicate title is sold by a salon that has a dubious reputation, the purchase should be abandoned;
• it is dangerous to buy a car with duplicate documents if it is brand new;
• the situation should look suspicious enough if the cost of a car in perfect condition sold at a clearly lower price, and the seller insists on a quick and full settlement.

In all the situations described above, it makes sense, if not to refuse to purchase, then at least to show an elementary reconciliation of the numbers located on the body with the numbers indicated in the duplicate TCP. In addition, a normal seller will not mind if the buyer initiates a vehicle check at the traffic police.

How to distinguish a fake

If you figure out on your own how the original TCP differs from the duplicate is not difficult, it is not so easy to identify a fake TCP at the time of buying a car. Moreover, some of the fake forms differ so much high quality that not every MREO traffic police is able to identify a fake. However, the purchase of a used car should certainly be accompanied by a thorough study of the document provided.

It is quite easy to determine a duplicate TCP, in terms of its differences from the original. In the case of a fake, the matter is complicated - often on a fake duplicate of the TCP there are basic security elements in the form of watermarks and holograms. Therefore, before buying, you should carefully evaluate the TCP for some points.

Special marks - special attention

Regardless of the TCP provided during the sale - is it an original or a duplicate, it has a “special marks” column, by studying which you can get a lot of information about the car itself. Everything is fixed here registration actions with a car, his participation in an accident that caused more or less significant damage car, information about the previously issued passport of the vehicle itself or its chassis.

Before purchase Special attention it is necessary to pay attention to the mark indicating the payment of the duty for recycling. This may indicate that the car has been deregistered for recycling, and it will be extremely difficult to re-register it. Quite often you can find a duplicate of the TCP or its original with stickers. One should not be afraid of such a document, it is quite legitimate.

Stickers are often necessary because some cars, especially frame ones, are extremely poorly positioned. identification numbers which quickly corrode. In some cases, the number is subjected to such severe corrosion that it is impossible to restore it even to experts. In order for the procedure of registration or deregistration to be possible, the forensic specialist can take a photo of the vehicle, which will be pasted into the original or duplicate of the title.

PTS is new document strict accounting for all those who own a motor vehicle (as well as a trailer or chassis).

It should be noted that the certificate of registration of a car and its passport are different documents. It is not necessary to have a TCP with you at all times, it will be needed when performing all the basic actions with the car.

Conditions for obtaining copies and duplicates

Copies of the title produced by any method (photographic copies or blueprints) cannot replace the original passport.

Duplicate documents that have been lost or become unusable for some reason are issued to the owners of vehicles (chassis) in the following cases:

Manufacturers - on chassis and vehicles that they produced later than 1.07.93 and did not pass registration before the specified date;

By the customs authorities - on the chassis and the vehicle, which are issued by these authorities after 1.07.97, which have not been registered before the specified date;

Issued to replace the Title, and, accordingly, it is noted serial number and the day of receipt of the original document (passport) and additionally issued duplicates in case the document was previously replaced.

Storage of a strictly accountable document

Validity and replacement of PTS

The validity period of the technical passport of the vehicle has no restrictions. In cases where the owner of the vehicle or chassis changes, a corresponding entry is made in the document. It is then addressed to the new owner or owner.

In the event that the TCP is lost or stolen, and in the absence of the possibility of further use of the document due to its unsuitability, the traffic police at the place of the last action is issued a duplicate instead.

The process of replacing the vehicle passport is carried out on the basis of an application written by the owner or owner.

Fraud

The most popular among the frauds is the sale of a car that is on credit. If your car is in a car loan, then it must be pledged in the bank that issued the loan. Thus, until you fully repay the debt, the car is the property of this bank. Therefore, after issuing a vehicle registration certificate at the state traffic inspectorate, the bank takes the title from the borrower.

Fraudsters are trying to restore this document, while claiming that there was loss of TCP rather than collateral with the lending bank. A duplicate is restored with a special mark in the margins about the car being mortgaged, and with this document the fraudster can already sell the vehicle. Thus, one should be more careful when buying a used vehicle.

If the car owner provides a new-looking duplicate of the vehicle passport during the sale, you should ask him to present a photocopy of the old document. It is recommended to avoid buying a car if the seller is performing his actions using a general power of attorney. Sometimes even a visit to a serious car dealership cannot be a guarantee of having a vehicle passport. Thus, the TCP is a document that will protect you from getting into unforeseen situations when buying the desired car!

Be vigilant, and you will protect yourself from many troubles in the future.

When your registration certificate is stolen or you can lose it, you need to restore it. Don't be alarmed right away. Perhaps they will give you a lift or bring it for a reward.

How to resolve the issue if they refused to issue a duplicate?

You need to write a complaint against the head of the traffic police, attach copies of all documents. If this does not work, apply to the court no later than 5 months, refusal to issue a duplicate to the traffic police. They issue a temporary copy, the validity of which is 3 months, but a new registration certificate will be made faster. Appeals to the traffic police will protect against the actions of scammers in the way that you can make a copy of the documents using the TCP and another car with similar documents will drive along the road.

What problems can arise with a duplicate registration certificate:

1. When selling a car, the buyer doubts the “purity” of the transaction.
2. With a duplicate from a new buyer, problems may arise, as a car can be pledged to a bank, and the original can be in a bank.

3. If the car is in excellent condition, will be issued for 3 years, for 2 years if the car is under 8 years old, 1 year for a car older than 8 years.

conclusions

How to fill out the forms you need to know in advance, so as not to fill it out in a hurry. To obtain new documents for a lost registration certificate, you will have to obtain new STS as it will be indicated there, the new data of the technical inspection passport.

Tip: You need to get in line with the forensic expert in advance to save time. During the refusal, it is necessary to take all the documents in writing, so that there is something to prove one's case. They will immediately give a copy, and a duplicate later due to the workload in the traffic police. If he is the only one in the whole village, then it can be delayed. Maximum amount days for issuance 30 days.

If in general power of attorney, it will not be indicated that the owner has the right to receive a technical passport, then no one will give it. It is undesirable to say that it was stolen if you are not sure about it. The complaint must be written to the supervisor. Be sure to pay the stamp duty.

It is also necessary to bet on an expert, the less he is busy, the faster will be tested and the closer to it will turn. Attach all copies of certificates and payment receipts.

By going to court, as a rule, the court decides in favor of the owner, but when the car is stolen or there are suspicions, the court will never decide in your favor. Be careful when buying a car.
