Selling a car does not close all the questions related to car ownership for the seller. Until there is no exact data on whether the car has been removed from the traffic police register or not, there is cause for concern in anticipation of unpleasant consequences.
If the car is not removed from the register
The procedure for re-registering the car for the buyer is the buyer's responsibility. V within 10 days from the moment of the transaction new owner must submit documents to the traffic police. After that, the car is simultaneously removed from the register and registered in the name of the buyer.
If the documents are not submitted, then the withdrawal will not be made. This means that the old owner:
- continues to pay the transport tax, since for the tax authorities the car is registered with him;
- bears the costs of all fines that are recorded on road cameras (auto-registration);
- is responsible to the victims in the event of an accident.
It is for this reason that the seller of the car must check whether the buyer has removed the car from the register. So to speak for your own peace of mind.
How to get data
To track the result of re-registration, you can:
- check the data through the services of the traffic police website;
- in the order of electronic appeal to the traffic police on its own behalf;
- personally contact the traffic police;
- through other sites and resources (autocode, core ru, auto ru, etc.).
The data should be received after the expiration of 10 days from the date of the transaction.
Through the Internet base of the traffic police
This is considered one of the easiest, fastest and most reliable verification methods. To do this, you need to go to the page of the traffic police.
| 1. In the section "Checking the car" you need to select the subsection "Checking the history of registration in the traffic police". |
| 2. Next, the VIN-code of the car is entered in the appropriate field. Press the button "Request verification". |
 |
| 3. A verification code appears, enter the numbers in an empty field and click "Request". |
 |
| 4. After that, within a few seconds to several minutes, a page with information appears. The name of the owner will not be indicated, but the date of the last registration will be reflected. This data is enough to understand whether the vehicle was removed from the register. |
But it is not always possible to check with the traffic police service whether the car is taken off the register. Sometimes the site is not updated or not all data is entered. Therefore, in the absence of information, additional verification should be carried out.
Electronic appeal to the traffic police
Again, through the website of the traffic police, you can issue a request-request on your own behalf to the head of any department of the traffic police.
| 1. First you need to follow the link https: //hybd.d.rf/request_main. |
| 2. At the bottom of the page, check the box "I have read the information" and click "Submit an appeal". |
 |
|
3. A new page will appear. On it, you should fill in the details about the traffic police unit where the appeal is addressed and about yourself. In the column "Text of the appeal" formulate a request for information on the registration (in connection with the change of the owner of the vehicle). Attach a scanned copy of the car sale and purchase agreement to the request. |
 |
| 4. After a while, within 30 days, a substantive response will be sent to your email address. |
Personal "live" appeal to the traffic police
The surest way to find out if a car is taken off the register is to visit the nearest traffic police department. An application for providing information is written there. It indicates that the transaction has been completed, and the seller does not know anything about the conscientious fulfillment of obligations to register the transport. Therefore, to protect their rights, it is required to obtain information about the history of car registration.
Copies of the sales contract and other documents on the transaction are attached to the application.
Within 30 days, a reply will be sent to the mailing address indicated in the application. If there is no answer, then you can complain about such silence to the regional traffic police or go to court.
Other resources
You can check whether the car is taken off the register on other sites on the Internet. The main ones are:
- "Autocode",
- "Drom ru",
- "Auto ru" and others.
Going to the sites, you can get instructions on requesting data.
But you should be aware that these sites take information from the traffic police database. Therefore, using the data of such commercial resources is just a matter of convenience.
But in any case, before you check whether the car is removed from the register online or appear in the traffic police, you need to try to get information from the buyer.
If you still have a phone number, you just need to call him and delicately ask about the issue of re-registration. It can be explained that this information is needed for issues of calculating transport tax or termination of the OSAGO policy, etc.
If the buyer confirms the fact of re-registration, ask for a copy of the vehicle registration certificate in his name. This check will suffice.
How to check information in the State Service portal
Unfortunately, there is currently no such technical possibility. Through the portal on this issue, you can neither submit an application, nor make an appointment with an official, nor use online services, etc.
That is, the seller will not receive information on public services about whether or not the car is deregistered.
What to do if the car is not reissued
There is no need to panic.
The former owner has the opportunity to terminate the state registration of the car.
To do this, in the traffic police with a personal appearance or through the portal of State Services, an application is submitted for deregistration on the basis of non-fulfillment registration actions new owner.
In the future, the buyer will have a problem with the car.
Who is it useful to know information about car deregistration
Information about the removal of the car from the register will be interesting except for the seller:
Potential buyer... There are times when the car is sold by the owner who did not register for himself. In this regard, there may be problems when registering a car with the traffic police with a new owner. In addition, there may be other controversial issues related to previous transactions.
Persons who have scrapped their cars... Especially if they did it through other persons by proxy. For example, this issue was dealt with by a car dealer, etc.

During the period of selling the car to another person, the former owners mean that as soon as possible the vehicle will be properly re-registered in the name of the new owner. However, this does not mean at all that it will be so.
To be able to control the re-registration process and not only reduce the likelihood, but also completely protect yourself from possible consequences that may occur after the signing of the purchase and sale agreement, it is advisable to consider in more detail the rules for checking the removal of a vehicle from registration.
General points
The norms of Russian legislation do not provide for an urgent need to re-register a vehicle in the event of registration either.
However, in this case, it must be remembered that if the renewal process is ignored, all fines issued after the transfer of the car to another person, taxes will come to the previous owner.
At the same time, it will be very difficult to prove that the vehicle is no longer in ownership.
What you need to know
In the event that the owner of the vehicle, while contacting one of the structural divisions of the traffic police, could not receive a certificate regarding deregistration after a month, it is possible to submit the appropriate one.
If you ignore the rules for re-registration by the new owner within a 10-day period, you can contact the traffic police directly and draw up a corresponding statement regarding the termination of registration.
On the basis of the submitted application, the vehicle numbers, together with the documentation for the car, are automatically put on the wanted list.
This is how it is possible to exclude the likelihood of accruing taxes and other fines and penalties on the previous owner.
This situation is largely due to the fact that it does not always go smoothly, and often they are complicated by the prohibitions and restrictions of various departments, including:
- lenders - for example, in the case of a car loan;
- law enforcement agencies;
- Traffic police - for example, in the case where the owner became the culprit, as evidenced by payments for;
- social protection and so on.
If one of the above government departments initiates a restriction, then citizens will not be able to:
- sell a vehicle;
- and remove it from registration.
Moreover, the restriction will remain in effect until the causes are eliminated.
It is for this reason that it is extremely important to check the presence or absence of restrictions on the conduct of registration actions, not only for the owner, but also for potential buyers.
In addition, you need to know the basic principles of checking the history of registration in one of the structural departments of the traffic police.
Thanks to this, we can confidently talk about the possibility, as soon as possible, to identify who exactly and at what time was the full owner of a car or other vehicle.
In the case of the revealed fact of a regular change of ownership, then we can talk about a high level of probability of any technical problems... For example, the tool often breaks down or there are legal pitfalls.
It is possible to initiate a check of re-registration of a vehicle in the traffic police in one of the few ways.
Such a procedure deserves special attention to itself, in order to ensure personal peace of mind and not worry about numerous legal implications further.
What could be the reasons
In addition to legal deal however, there are other grounds that force the owners to deregister their car.
It is customary to refer to the main ones:
| The vehicle is planned to be transferred for recycling | If, at the same time, the requirement to deregister is ignored, then the tax authorities will continue to calculate the transport tax and demand payment to the owner. |
| The owner lost his vehicle for any reason | For example, he was hijacked or he suffered as a result of getting into an accident or some other accident, because of which recovery is impossible. |
| The vehicle owner plans to move abroad | To a permanent place of residence. In this situation, it becomes necessary to register the vehicle at the place of residence and simultaneously deregister it at the old address. |
| The vehicle is sold outside | Of Russia |
It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the main reason for deregistration is considered to be a properly drawn up statement from the owner.
At the same time, there are often situations in which vehicles are automatically deregistered.
It is customary to refer to these:
In most cases, in the above situations, car owners do not know exactly how to find out the data of the vehicle owner, in order to be able to understand whether there was a fact of re-registration or not. It is for this reason that special attention is paid to this issue.
Often, such, in fact, not vigilant owners are faced with the problems of forming ownership of the car for a long time not belonging to them.
For your information - in accordance with, the owners do not need to remove the vehicle from the registration register in the event of its sale.
Such a procedure is initiated by the representatives of the traffic police on their own, when new owner applied on the issue of re-registration of the car for himself.
Moreover, the seller does not need to be personally present during this procedure, since it takes place automatically.
Ways to check vehicle status
Today, it is possible to check the current status in relation to a specific vehicle in one of the following ways:
- by personal appeal;
- by forming a request through an authorized state body.
To eliminate the likelihood of various misunderstandings while obtaining the necessary information, it is advisable to consider the available options separately.
Personal appeal

Nowadays, it is enough to simply check whether the car is registered: you can send an application online and receive a detailed report. The Internet has simplified the life of car owners by giving them the opportunity to perform many actions without leaving their office or home. You can buy an OSAGO policy, sign up for repairs and maintenance, fill out an application with the traffic police, check the car for VIN and much more. But the question is: why find out the further fate of vehicle registration, if the previous owner is no longer related to the car?
Why check the vehicle accounting
As practice shows, the car should be checked for registration in cases where:
- vehicles sold ... The new owner is obliged to re-register the car for himself within 10 days. However, for some reason, he may not rush to the traffic police, and in this case, the entire responsibility rests with the previous owner. That is, tax will continue to be charged on the car, fines may come and even claims for an accident may be presented.;
- car stolen ... Even by submitting an appropriate application, the owner will not protect himself from claims from the Federal Tax Service, and if the hijacked car or its numbers appear in any crime or gross offense, the owner will have to prove his innocence. Of course, it will be easy to collect evidence, but it is unlikely that it will be worth the spent nerves.;
- the car was handed over for recycling ... Even after successfully disposing of your old car, the owner may still be the owner. In this case, it is imperative to check the car online for registration, otherwise the receipt from the tax office will become an unpleasant surprise;
- the owner moved to another country for permanent residence ... Even after changing the country, a citizen continues to be responsible for all obligations assumed. And it will be much easier to check whether a car is registered online, than to later go to the previous place of residence for proceedings with the tax office and the traffic police;
- you are buying a used car ... It is extremely important to make sure that the sale is carried out by the actual owner in whose name the car is registered. This will allow you to protect yourself from claims from the traffic police, if the seller did not re-register the transport in due time and simply acted as a reseller.
Verification methods
There are several options for checking the registration status of a vehicle. The most obvious is a personal appeal to the traffic police. However, it is associated not only with the loss of time, but also with the need to write a statement of the established form on the form of the approved form. Given the length of the queues in the traffic police departments, even with strict regulations on interaction with visitors, this method can hardly be called convenient.
It is much easier to check the deregistration of a car online. To do this, you can use various services, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
- Portal "Gosuslugi"
... You can use the service only if you register on the portal. To check the deregistration of a car online, you need to find the section "Registration of vehicles and trailers" and fill out the appropriate form. After some time, an answer to the request will come.
Dignity: the service is free.
Flaw: the portal often maintains engineering works, due to which access to the resource is limited. - Internet service "Autoport"
... Checking the car online for registration using this service is quite simple - you just need to enter the VIN number or license plate of the vehicle. Further, you will be provided with comprehensive information, including the facts of road accidents, fines and much more. With the help of the service, you can check the payment of car tax online, which will allow you to set extra charges on time.
Dignity: high speed, accuracy, full volume of information provided.
Flaw: paid service. - Traffic police website... On the website of the traffic police, you can check if the car is registered. Online mode makes it easier to interact with a government agency. To do this, enter the VIN, body or chassis number.
Dignity: the service is free.
Flaw: due to the high load on the servers, the resource is running slowly.
What else needs to be checked
When deciding to check whether the car is registered online, also pay attention to some important aspects:
- if the car is sold, stolen or otherwise alienated, it is important to check the car in the car parking lot. An online request will allow you to establish the presence or absence of a vehicle in the parking lot, which will save you from paying a fairly large sum of money;
- check the car tax. An online calculator will allow you to clarify whether the tax is calculated correctly.
The most complete and convenient option for performing verification actions related to the registration of a vehicle is to use the Autoport Internet service. In this case, by one request, you can check the car online for registration, find out tax claims, clarify the amount of unpaid fines and get another important and useful information about auto.
There are several options for how to find out if a car is struck off the register. The main ones include:
- personal visit to the traffic police department;
- checking the car on the official website of the traffic police;
- through the portal "Gosuslugi";

How to check?
The most common option is to check the vehicle for. This can be done in one of the following ways.

Based on the results of the check, the main characteristics of the car (make, model, year of manufacture, etc.) will be displayed on the screen, and just below information about the periods of ownership of the vehicle.
Important! It should be noted that this method of verification does not allow you to find out the full name of the person who owned the car at one time or another. However, according to the dates of registration and deregistration, it is possible to determine who the car is currently registered with.
Electronic appeal to the traffic police
This option involves requesting information about the car through a special form on the agency's website. You can send an electronic appeal as follows:
- First of all, you should go to the traffic police website, click on the "Services" tab and select the "Send an appeal" button.

Other online monitoring services
Who needs this information about the car and why?
As a rule, the need to check a vehicle for deregistration with the traffic police arises in the following cases:
- When referring a vehicle, it is important to make sure that it is deregistered. Otherwise former owner will have to continue to pay transport tax.
- If a car was stolen or got into a serious accident, after which it can no longer be restored (read about in what cases a car can be removed from the register without a vehicle and what to do if the car is stolen or seized by the bank).
- When a car is sold, if it is not removed from the register, then the former owner will have to pay tax for it, as well as pay the fines that the new driver has earned.
Thus, checking a car for deregistration is primarily in the interests of the person who owned it prior to the commission of certain legally significant actions (sale, disposal, etc.). Moreover, the existing variety of methods makes this procedure as simple and fast as possible.
How do I know if a car has been removed from the register? We will have to understand this topic further. This question worries many potential buyers and sellers of vehicles. After all, if the car is still registered with the traffic police, the owner may face a number of problems. Fortunately, everyone is able to cope with the task.
About car accounting
Registration of a car with the traffic police is a mandatory procedure. Without it, the driver has serious problems. Up to the point that you can lose your vehicle for a while.
Usually, when buying a vehicle, registration takes 10 days. During this time, a citizen must submit an application in the established form and receive a STS for the car.
What is registration for?
And for what purposes is it necessary to register a car with the traffic police? Without this operation, the citizen:
- cannot drive the vehicle;
- unable to issue a compulsory car insurance policy.
Let's assume that the car is taken off the register. Can I ride it? Yes, but only for a certain time. Namely - 10 days from the date of purchase of the vehicle. After that, you will have to give up driving until the car is registered with the traffic police.
Why deregister
Some people wonder why then it is generally necessary to remove a car from registration. And is it necessary to do so? 
Under the current legislation, yes. If the driver leaves the country for a long time, changes his place of registration, or simply sells / disposes of the vehicle, he will have to be removed from the register.
For what purpose? To relieve the owner of taxes and penalties. While the car is registered with the traffic police, the owner of the vehicle will receive receipts in the established form. You will have to pay for them.
In addition, if the car is not removed from the register, then the seller runs the risk of receiving a "letter of happiness" when selling the vehicle. All violations committed by the new owner of the car will be recorded in the name of the old owner of the car.
Whether to shoot when selling
Is it obligatory to deregister a car upon sale? It is rather difficult to answer this question. On the one hand, it is necessary to do this in order to avoid unpleasant situations. On the other hand, the removal of a car from the register is a lot of trouble. If it takes a long time to find a buyer, the new owner will not be able to drive the vehicle right away.
Is the car deregistered upon sale? Ideally, it is recommended to do this at the time of the sale and purchase transaction. And even better - in parallel with the re-registration of the car to the new owner. This technique is allowed by the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
Verification methods
