What to look for when reviewing a document
IN vehicle title you can see his “life path”, which says a lot about what kind of vehicle is in front of you:
- If the car had many owners, and they changed, according to the records in the TCP, with an unenviable frequency, think about whether the car is as good as the seller describes it. If they try to get rid of the vehicle almost immediately after the purchase, most likely it will require large investments from you, which will spoil the joy of buying a used car.
- In the section that lists the owners of the car, carefully read the contracts under which the vehicle was transferred. If the phrase “collateral agreement” flashes among the last owners, refuse a dubious purchase, the car is most likely a loan one.
- If the vehicle was exported from abroad, this circumstance must be noted in the TCP. The document indicates whether they were paid for when importing. If there were no payments, then restrictions are imposed on the owner of a used car.
- We compare the VIN indicated in the TCP with the number stamped under the hood of the car.
- Pay attention to the country of origin of the vehicle. You need to be careful if the car was made in Belarus or the poor countries of the European Union, where cars are mostly “patched” after accidents.
About how to check duplicate TCP, we will tell below.
The video below will show you what a real PTS looks like:
original or duplicate
First of all, you should make sure that the seller has handed over the original document to you. If he was given a duplicate, ask in detail about the reasons for obtaining a copy.
Duplicate issued:
- If the original sheet ran out of space for records, but then the seller should have not only a “continuation” in the form, but also the “first part” of the car’s history;
- If ;
- if the owner of the car has changed his registration data - .
- scammers often make duplicate titles to resell.
In any case, a car with a duplicate title should be treated with reasonable care. The car may have a dark past, in addition, if you yourself decide to sell this vehicle later, few people will dare to buy it with a “copy” of the TCP.
PTS is a document whose form is issued by the state. You can independently assess whether it is fake by examining it. Both the original and the duplicate must contain the following details:
- The PTS ornament, even when viewed closely, should not lose its sharpness of lines;
- the holographic sticker must also be clear;
- in the corner reverse side PTS is a three-dimensional image of a rose, which is well felt to the touch, and when you change the viewing angle, the picture changes its color from gray to green;
- a large watermark "RUS" is clearly visible against the light.
Vehicle passport - a document that contains information about technical specifications car, information about the owner, etc. Issued by the manufacturer and official bodies, including the traffic police and the Customs Service. For drivers who purchase a used car, checking the TCP is a priority.

How and where to find out the PTS number by car number online
How to get information regarding the PTS number if you use the Internet?
For this today there are only a few options:
- Sending email request - submission of an application in free form with a request to disclose information about the number and series of the registration certificate of a specific car of a specific owner.
- Use the official traffic police portal for the same purposes. Each region has its own website, but each of them has direct access to a single database. The request is sent via the "Direct Contact" form.
- Using Personal Area on the Gouslug website (preliminary registration on the portal is required), you can send a request to the State traffic inspectorate in order to get the most detailed answer about the TCP number.
IN online mode The series and number of the TCP can be found out only by an individually awaited electronic request to the structures of the State Traffic Inspectorate.
If you search in the traffic police database, the active program of which is located directly on the official portal in the "SERVICES" section, then you will not receive such information there.
The maximum that the system will give you is brief information about technical capabilities cars:
- model, brand;
- VIN code;
- number of units - engine, chassis, body (the ones that are on the parts themselves are indicated);
- information about the power, volume of the motor system;
- engine type - gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or electric;
- color;
- information about the owner - full name, registration and more.
Therefore, it will not be possible to quickly find information on the traffic police website, it will take time to through technical support or a form feedback send a request and then receive a response.
An example of a written response to a request is shown below. It does not contain a TCP number because the request was different - about the owner of the vehicle indicated in the registration certificate.
But the principle of interaction with government agency the same - a written request is sent, a response is expected within 2-3 days, or 7-12 days if the unit's workload is too large.
Now let's just show the possibilities of online services that help you find out the technical data about the car and other information related to the registration certificate:
- Services are free, related to the traffic police base in many areas. One of the popular services that provide reliable information is the Sravni.ru website. Here you can enter numbers: STS (car registration certificate), driver's license.
- To find out whether the car is subject to encumbrance, whether it is pledged by the bank or under some other obligation, you can use the website of the Notary Chamber. The online request form is extremely simple. The input data is also the VIN number or registration plates of the car.
Among the online services of the traffic police there is no separate service that would allow you to find the PTS number in the database in this way.
But there are two options to help you find out technical details by car, taken from the data sheet and reflected in the report. At the same time, it checks for the absence or presence of some restrictions on vehicle.
Two ways in the main menu " Online Services” are presented as blue buttons in the right column of the portal - “Checking fines” and “Checking a car”:
- By clicking on "Check fines" you get to a page where you are immediately prompted to enter the number of the car in the interactive field, and in the line below - the number of the certificate of registration of the vehicle.
- If you click on "Vehicle Check", then you will need to enter the original VIN code of the vehicle in the active fields, or the number of such aggregate systems as a body or chassis.
- In the results - reports, information is displayed not only on technical features and capabilities of the tested motor vehicle, but also by various restrictions, the status of "hijacking", "wanted". This information, as a rule, constitutes the history of the vehicle.
For those who would like to get a more detailed and quick information there are paid services.
For example, on the Autocode portal, they provide reports after thorough checks on the traffic police database for a modest fee - from 350 to 550 rub.
But this is the price for one service session - for one request. In the interactive plan, you can also quickly get brief information.
To do this, just follow these steps:
- Select the search criterion "VIN", enter its unique number (code) in the active line. Then press the yellow "Check Auto" button.
- Make the search criterion "Mr. number", enter a combination known to the user of the service in the active line. Then press the yellow "Check Auto" button.
- The answer received at the very beginning immediately reflects the information from the data sheet in an abbreviated version. But, unfortunately, in this way it will not work to find out the number itself and the series of the TCP. The content of the inspection results is submitted in the same way as in the public inspection on the traffic police portal.
Is it possible to find the owner by number
by number and PTS series you cannot find a car owner if you use widely available services on the website of the State traffic inspectorate.
This is done not by the registration number, but by the license plates of the following input data:
- individual VIN code of the vehicle;
- chassis;
- body number;
- state registration marks;
- driver's license number.
If there is only one registration certificate on hand, then the owner of the car can only be found upon a written request submitted to registration authorities GAI.
You can contact either directly to any department of the traffic police, or through the websites of intermediaries - State Services, the Federal Tax Service or Autocode. In some cases, you can contact auto-lawyers, but for a fee.
What other information can you see?
After checking in one way or another, you can still find out the following information regarding the car and its documentation:
- Was a duplicate issued among the documents - PTS or STS.
- When the car was entered into the traffic police database - the date of registration.
- Has it been installed regular system GLONNAS ( satellite system navigation).
- Have there been modifications to the details.
- Has the engine power been reduced?
- Are there any arrears in the field of tax liabilities on the vehicle - penalty for late payment of transport tax.
- What offenses are currently registered for the car and its owner.
- Are there litigations on the car, has information about the decision already been received? judicial authority in legal proceedings - to bailiffs.
- Was the customs procedure properly completed if the car was imported from abroad (this can be especially interesting topics who buys it on lease).
All this information reveals a complete picture of whether it is worth buying a car from a particular seller. After all, before transactions, the owners-sellers are not always in a hurry to show all the documents at once.
This is possible only if all the documentation on the car is in order, and the car owner does not have any debts to the state. After all, the purchase of a car with debts, they will have to be repaid by the new owner.
Since June 27, 2016, new PTS samples, which are electronic - EPTS. Paper documents are gradually fading into the background.
It is planned to allocate 2 years for this process so far - until 2019. Already from 07/01/2017, the issuance of paper registration certificates has been discontinued.
It is possible that the newly introduced electronic PTS will not have to be carried with you, lost, or subjected to the risk of theft. Therefore, the search for numbers of such documentation will be faster and easier.
