You should always have such documents with you. The procedure for registering a car is mandatory.

A vehicle registration certificate (VRC) is issued when the vehicle is registered with the traffic police. In terms of content, the document is almost completely identical to the vehicle passport.

Let's find out where to look at the number of the vehicle registration certificate in 2019 and why it is needed.

STS

Vehicle registration certificate is a document that includes information about the basic information of the owner. It is presented to traffic police officers if they stop a car.

If the registration certificate is not with you, the driver will have to pay a fine. You also need to have an MTPL insurance policy and a driver’s license with you.

And a notarized power of attorney if the motorist is not the owner motor vehicle.

The certificate contains certain information about the vehicle, which allows you to identify the car:

Using the vehicle's VIN code, they check the car's history and find out the necessary information about the car. It is assigned to each car.

The VIN code must completely match the body number. It is usually located on non-removable parts of the body and where the chance of damage to the vehicle in an accident is minimal.

• country of origin;
• year of issue;
• type of engine, body;
• general characteristics of the machine;

The reverse side contains information about the owner and the department that issued the document. In the “special notes” field, information about changes that have been made to the design of the car is entered.

Where is the vehicle registration certificate number located? The document number is indicated on both sides. It is highlighted in red.

Using the series and number of the certificate, traffic police officers:

• check the technical characteristics of the vehicle;
• determine the history of the car;

• identify the fact of non-payment of fines for traffic violations;
• determine arrears by transport tax, which are registered with the owner of the car;

• receive information about prohibitions and restrictions imposed on the vehicle.

All of the above information can be found on the traffic police portal and other information resources.

Registration with the traffic police is a mandatory procedure. Documents required for registration:

• vehicle passport;
• a document that confirms the right to own the car (certificate of inheritance, power of attorney, certificate of invoice from the dealership, purchase and sale agreement);
• general passport;
• OSAGO policy;
• application on a form.

Before contacting the traffic police, you need to pay a state fee. Cost - 850 rubles (500 rubles extra for the state registration certificate + 350 rubles for making changes to the PTS).

The traffic police officer accepts the application and then conducts an inspection.. The numbers on the engine and chassis are checked against the information specified in the vehicle title.

Instead of an inspection, you can provide a certificate technical inspection, which is only valid for 20 days.

If the vehicle data does not match the information from the vehicle passport, or the numbers are not readable, the inspector may order a forensic examination.

If everything is in order, the car owner receives a certificate of state registration of the vehicle.

Corrections cannot be made to the document.. If any personal information or information about the car, the document is replaced completely.

You can sign up for registration and replacement of a certificate through the Public Services portal.

If you change your certificate due to a change of name, place of registration or damage to the document, an inspection of the car by the traffic police is not necessary.

If changes have affected the design of the car, you need to inspect the car at the State Traffic Inspectorate.

Replacement of the document may be required if:

• an error was detected in the data;
• the data specified in the STS has changed;
• The document is damaged and the information cannot be read.

To replace it, you must also contact the traffic police, bring an application and a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Receipt of payment of state duty, certificate.

If the driver forgets to promptly replace the certificate within 10 days after changing his name or purchasing a car, he faces a fine of 500-800 rubles.

Repeated violation - 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 1-3 months.

Let's look at how to find out the vehicle registration certificate number by license plate number and other parameters.

The registration certificate number is indicated on the front side below. The series and number are also placed on the top of the back.

If the vehicle passport or certificate is lost, it will be easier to restore the documents using the number.

If you don’t have a vehicle passport or other documents, but you need to find out the number, you can try to find out the certificate number using state numbers.

Such information may be necessary if the driver caused an accident and fled. The victim goes to court, but only knows the license plate number of the culprit.

Then it is possible to find out the number and series of the STS, as well as additional information. But it is necessary to submit an official request to the police. If there are no compelling reasons to receive this kind of information from the traffic police, a refusal will come.

The STS series and number can be viewed on online resources. Some of them are paid, but you can also find free versions.

By PTS number

It is not difficult. The series and certificate number match up to the last digit with the PTS number.

Since the numbers are the same, it is not necessary to carry your PTS with you all the time.

Also, using the PTS, you can quickly restore a lost STS. You just need to contact the traffic police, present the car and its passport.

The car may be needed, as sometimes it is necessary to verify the VIN and other individual numbers TS.

Why are the numbers the same? This way the traffic police checks the information on the car faster.

STS number confidentiality

Where to see the number STS car to a stranger? And can he, without having the documents for the car in hand, find out the details for it?

It's practically impossible. Document data is confidential information. On the Internet there are sites that offer to check cars only using state license plates.

But you need to know:

• such information is not made publicly available;
• the reliability and relevance of such information remains in doubt (most likely, this data is long outdated, or it is fake).

Checking a car using STS

You can find out the car number by the number of the vehicle registration certificate on the website www.gibdd.ru in the “Vehicle check” section.

You need to enter the VIN number, you can also check the car using the STS, while requesting the registration history from the traffic police. Here you can see whether the driver of this car was involved in an accident, and whether the vehicle is wanted. On the FNP website you can find out whether the car is pledged.

Afterwards the car owner will receive a notification coupon.

Now he is protected from various suspicions, even if illegal actions using a stolen car or PTS are revealed.

For restoration, you must personally provide an STS, a civil passport, and an MTPL insurance policy.

The new passport will have a new series and number. After changing the PTS, you will have to change the STS to ensure that the numbers in both documents are identical.

For issuing a new STS you will have to pay 350 rubles, for changing the PTS - 500.

You should not always carry all documents with you. The process of document recovery will be long and troublesome. First you need to restore your civil passport.

Then you should go to the traffic police, insurance company and restore the documents in order:

• vehicle certificate;
• driver license;
• OSAGO policy;
• maintenance ticket.

If the car was purchased on credit, the procedure will be simplified. First, restore your passport, then contact the bank and get a temporary PTS to restore the remaining documents.

If a car was also stolen along with all the documents, you will have to call the police and follow the procedure recommended by law enforcement officers.

Recommendations:

• have copies of PTS, STS, which will help restore documents in a short time;
• do not leave a case with documents on back seat car (theft can be committed even while stopping at a traffic light);
• keep folders with documents in the glove compartment or other secluded place;
• always take your documents with you, even if you leave the car for a short time;
• do not leave a bag with documents on a store counter or a chair in a cafe;
• do not continue driving the vehicle if the documents have been stolen or lost.

If documents are stolen, call the police immediately. Documentation is usually restored after the criminal case is closed. Until closing, the driver can use duplicates.

A car registration certificate is one of the main and most important documents for a car, along with the vehicle passport. The numbers of these documents are identical.

This ensures more quick check car by the traffic police and easier restoration of the STS if the car owner loses it.

I am glad to welcome you to the pages of my blog! And today we will continue to study the issue PTS checks car before purchasing. You will learn how to check the title when buying a car, how to distinguish an original from a fake, and I will also talk about the degrees of passport security technical means.

In order not to be left without a car and without money, be sure to check the documents for the car before completing the purchase and sale transaction.

Types of PTS crafts

PTS is the main document of the vehicle, containing information about the main technical specifications TS, identification numbers units (VIN code, engine number, frame, chassis), history of registration procedures: change of owner, change in technical characteristics and units.

Just like a citizen’s passport, scammers forge a car passport.

On automotive market There are two types of fake PTS floating around:

1. False car passport . The document, from the form itself to the data, is completely forged.
2. PTS washed or partially forged . The original State Sign form is taken, accordingly it has all the security elements, but with the help of certain technologies the data or some letters, numbers that need to be changed are erased, this could be the PTS number, region, serial number PTS, etc.

Next to the cleared fields, carefully with pinpoint precision for specific car the necessary data is entered. It is quite difficult to determine a washed passport, because... it is made on the state sign form. It contains absolutely all the degrees of protection that should be present (read more about this below). Take a closer look at the document; it should not look like it has been washed.

Data reconciliation

Let's start with the simplest thing: comparing the document with the car being inspected. When inspecting the car in person, do not be lazy to check the VIN code in the documents with the wine on the car. About where the VIN number may be located on various machines, you will learn from .

By checking the engine number with the number in the documents. Look at the nameplate, perhaps you will find the year of manufacture on it.

Well, the rest of the data must match the actual car in front of you: color, license plate, engine size, chassis number.

The most common thing is that the PTS series must match the code of the region in which the document was originally issued.

If a document for a foreign-assembled car was issued by the traffic police, and not by customs, then we can say with 99.9% certainty that it is a duplicate. A duplicate requires a more thorough check. Why? .

Rely on protection, but don’t be timid either

Let me remind you once again: before starting to inspect the car, first of all you should check the documents for the car so as not to pay for diagnostics in vain. No matter how good it looks, and no matter how tempting the price, be sure to start by checking the documents if you do not want to buy a set of spare parts or face forensic examinations. Even if you buy a car from a person you know well, maybe he doesn’t even know that he is selling with fake documents; he himself once bought one. It also happens that the fake is not immediately revealed.

Let's look at the main differences between a complete fake and an original PTS. Of course, most of them can be seen with a special device, but a flashlight and a magnifying glass will also contribute to a better view.

The main degrees of protection of the PTS form:

1. Letterpress printing of the passport number, i.e. depression in places of the image: clear and even edges of the strokes, thickening of the dye along the edges of the strokes, which gives the feeling of edges.
2. Special paper is used; it has a certain texture and a specific pattern, which does not lose clarity when viewed closely through a magnifying glass.
3. Infrared marks (elements that disappear in the infrared glow) are applied. When exposed to infrared light, the machine in the upper right corner of the back of the form disappears. On the spread, the typewriter in the upper left corner is barely visible, and the inscription “special marks” disappears.
4. 3D printing is also used. The words “vehicle passport” are embossed to the touch. On the reverse side there is a sign in the shape of a flower; in addition to being three-dimensional, it also changes color when tilted.
5. Ultraviolet tags that glow when illuminated by an ultraviolet lamp.
6. The hologram is round or in the form of a strip (on old PTS). Clear and easy to read. This is the main protection, it is difficult to fake it with high definition. There should be no sticker feel to the touch; the hologram and the form are one whole. The hologram depicts a traffic police car with an inscription on windshield"RUSSIA RUSSIA"
7. Water marks. When the PTS form is scanned, a three-dimensional (volumetric) watermark “RUS” is visible on it. X-raying the form can also reveal “washed out” data.

Saddle up early

It is advisable to ask for the vehicle’s vin code to be sent to you via SMS before inspecting the car. And through some service you will get acquainted with the exact data of the car. These data should not differ in any way from the data in the PTS. Now some sellers also indicate the VIN code in the ad.

On the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate website you can view the history of registration actions, check for search warrants, restrictions on registration, and have recently been keeping records of vehicle participation in road accidents. Use various online resources to check your car. you can read about how to check a car for collateral and credit.

Do not hesitate to be annoying and meticulous; if the seller has nothing to hide, then he will allow all checks to be carried out.

I'm waiting for you on the pages of my blog again! Ask questions, I will look into them with pleasure.
