Sooner or later, almost every car owner thinks about how to write off a car to the traffic police. Such an operation plays an important role in the theft of a vehicle or during the disposal of movable property. But not everyone knows how to act under certain circumstances. Today we will get acquainted with the procedure for deregistration of a car with the registration authorities. What should be remembered about this operation? Under what circumstances is it carried out? What difficulties may arise in solving the problem? Answers to all these questions (and more) will be found below. As a result, even a person who knows nothing about paperwork will cope with the task under study. With the right approach, it will cause a minimum of hassle.
When to be deregistered
How to write off a car in the traffic police? In 2017, this operation was carried out if:
- the person left the city/country for a long time;
- there has been a change in ownership of the vehicle;
- the car was stolen;
- vehicle decided to send it for recycling.
In the current 2018, nothing has changed - the reasons are the same. But how to bring the idea to life? In fact, everything is simpler than it seems. But in some cases, you will have to try hard to achieve the task.
Where to get the service
How to write off a car in the traffic police? A person can receive the appropriate service in different bodies. And this must always be remembered.
In 2018, the applicant can remove the car from the register, as well as register the vehicle:
- through the traffic police / traffic police;
- by contacting the MREO;
- by sending an application to the MFC;
- on the portal "Gosuslugi".
The last option is a lot of trouble. Especially if you don't prepare for it in advance. We'll look at this scenario in more detail next.
Brief instructions
Writing off a personal car in the traffic police in Russia is carried out without much hassle with careful and timely preparation. The main thing is to follow simple instructions. Every modern person can master and remember them.
Introducing the process of deregistration of a vehicle (under any circumstances), you can see that the guide for bringing the idea to life will look like this:
- Prepare the documentation requested from the registration authorities.
- Fill out the application form for deregistration of a car.
- Submit your application to one of the previously indicated locations.
- Get your hands on a certificate of successful deregistration of the car. This step is observed mainly during the disposal of the vehicle.
Perhaps that's all. No fees or long waits. Everything is extremely simple and clear. For the sake of clarity, let's look at all possible options developments in more detail.
When selling
How to write off a car in the traffic police when selling property? Such an operation is not always required. According to the current legislation, when buying a car from your hands, you can simultaneously remove the vehicle from the register and re-register it to a new owner.
For this kind of service, you need to bring with you:
- purchase agreement;
- a receipt on receipt of money for the transaction by the seller;
- buyer's identity;
- TCP for cars;
- STS machines (if any);
- car insurance policy (if any);
- transit numbers (provided that there are any).
It is also advisable to bring a copy of the seller's passport. This paper is useful when deregistering a vehicle in case of buying a car from hand.
In addition, the new owner will have to pay:
- PTS adjustment - 350 rubles;
- issuance of a new certificate of registration - 500 rubles;
- registration of state numbers for a car - 2,000 rubles.
No more payments will be required. Within 1 hour, the applicant will be given updated certificates for the car.
Important: the vehicle is re-registered to a new owner in the same way. Only the type of contract changes. For example, instead of a purchase agreement, there may be a will or deed of gift.
Change of ownership and deregistration by the seller
Sometimes it happens that a person handed over the vehicle to another person documented, but the car was never re-registered. Under such circumstances, the recipient of the property will not be able to drive a car, and all fines and violations will be "hung" on the former owner of the vehicle.
To prevent this from happening, it is important to understand how to write off a car to the traffic police if you are already without transport. For example, when selling it.
We have already considered the procedure for re-registration of the vehicle. The new owner is given 10 days for this operation. After that, the former owner will be able to remove the car from the registration.
To do this, he will need to take with him:
- an agreement indicating the fact of the transfer of the car to another person;
- title papers for the vehicle (if any);
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
This should be enough. It remains to fill out an application for deregistration of a car and take it to the local traffic police. After the actions taken, the traffic police will write off the vehicle.
Long departure or transfer
Now it’s clear how to write off a car in the traffic police. Through the MFC or the traffic police - it's not so important. The main thing is that we have dealt with the most common situations.
As already mentioned, if a person leaves Russia for a long time or simply moves, he will have to deregister the car. This can be done only after collecting the following package of documentation:
- the passport;
- car insurance;
- title papers for movable property;
- application for deregistration in the State Automobile Inspectorate.
Disposal
But that's not all. In some cases, car owners think about the final write-off of their movable property. For example, if the car is no longer on the move and cannot be repaired. We are talking about participation in the recycling program. Thanks to her, a person will be able to get a discount when buying a new car.
We already know the procedure for bringing the idea to life. To send the vehicle for recycling, the owner will have to take with him to the traffic police:
- car;
- identification;
- a completed application form for participation in the recycling program;
- technical certificate auto;
- vehicle registration certificate;
- state numbers of the vehicle.
All this will be enough. The absence of a number of documents (STS, PTS, signs) will not interfere with participation in the car recycling program. All data about the owners of the vehicle is stored in the databases of the traffic police. And therefore, for the implementation of the task, it is necessary to have a passport and an application with you. Refusal of the service under such circumstances will not be able to. It's simply illegal.
If the owner himself is not able to apply for the provision of the service, he can draw up and issue a power of attorney to write off the car to the traffic police. This paper is standard.
After submitting the application, the owner will be issued a certificate of the established form. It can be restored in the traffic police. The extract will indicate the participation of the applicant's car in the "scrap" program.
Vehicle theft and deregistration
How do I apply for a write-off of a car if it was stolen? This is a fairly common scenario. And few people know how to behave properly.
The thing is that you first have to draw up and submit an application for the theft of the vehicle. He is taken to the local police department. Then the person is given a certificate of the established form (not always). Now you can go to the traffic police at the place of your registration or at the MFC. Further actions will occur in the listed services.
Important: it is allowed to immediately carry a statement about theft to the traffic police. This technique will greatly facilitate the further procedure.
In order to deregister a vehicle, you will need to have:
- statement of theft;
- documents for the car;
- any document proving the identity of a citizen.
After collecting these papers, the traffic police will quickly write off the car due to its theft. From now on, you can not worry about fines and violations. It remains only to wait for the fruits of police work. It is possible that the car and its hijackers will be able to find.
Without car and documents
And how to write off a car in the traffic police without documents, if the applicant does not even have the vehicle itself? It would seem that such a situation will cause a lot of trouble. But actually it is not.
The thing is that the lack of documents for the vehicle, as well as the car itself, is not a reason to refuse the service being studied. It is enough for the applicant to have a passport with him. If there has been a change in personal data, and the re-registration of the car has not yet taken place, you must take any evidence indicating that the appropriate adjustments have been made.
Important: as we have already said, data on vehicle owners is recorded in the traffic police database. And therefore, the lack of documents or a car to deregister it is not such a big problem.
Important: if a citizen does not have a decommissioned car, he will not be able to take part in the recycling program. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any problems.
Through a representative
It is hard to believe, but you can carry out all the actions described through a representative. To do this, you need to draw up and issue a power of attorney to deregister the car.
To obtain such a document, you will need to go with a potential representative to a notary's office. Have with you:
- passports;
- car documentation;
- a power of attorney, which details the operations that a representative can carry out.
After payment of notary services, the power of attorney will be certified and executed. That is why you will have to prepare at least 3 copies of the relevant paper.
Important: now the representative will be able to apply for deregistration of the car. He will have to collect all the previously listed papers and attach a power of attorney to them along with a copy of the passport of the owner of the car.

Filling out an application to the traffic police to write off a car is not difficult. Neither electronic nor paper.
You are leaving for a long time or your car, simply due to circumstances, will be unclaimed for some time. Naturally, in this case, the question arises, is it possible to somehow remove this car from the register so as not to pay the transport tax (TN) for the period when it is not in operation? We will explain how to deregister a car completely so that you never pay a fee for it again and whether it is possible to do this if the vehicle will not be used temporarily.
How to terminate registration
Most recently, amendments were made that combined 2 procedures - termination of registration and deregistration. At the moment, according to the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605, these are absolutely identical concepts, synonyms. It is on the grounds listed in paragraph 60 that it is possible to deregister the vehicle and thereby get rid of the need to pay transport tax. There are ten reasons in total:
- loss of a vehicle (usually an accident);
- transferring a car to a car dealership or an insurer for replacement or receiving payments, respectively;
- detection of grounds for cancellation of registration (unregistered design change, etc.);
- upon termination of the leasing agreement, if the vehicle is registered by the lessee for a limited period;
- theft, theft of a car;
- transport is exported outside the Russian Federation for a permanent period;
- termination of legal person or death of the owner-individual;
- the registration period has ended;
- statement of the former owner who sold the car, if after 10 days the vehicle was not re-registered to the new owner.
It will be possible to terminate registration and not pay transport tax annually for any of the above reasons. Is it possible to remove a registered car not to the owner, but to his representative? Yes, if he provides a power of attorney certified by a notary in accordance with all the rules, which will make it possible to represent the interests of the owner and dispose of the car.
The list of documents for each case varies, only the application for termination of registration remains the same. The only difference is the reason that is indicated in the body of the document and is the basis for deregistration of the vehicle and the termination of tax accrual.
Is it possible to temporarily deregister a car
In fact, you pay the transport tax to the treasury as compensation for the damage that the vehicle causes when driving on the roads. However, if the car does not drive on these very roads for some time, is it possible not to pay the tax? Despite the fact that foreign traffic police are already using a similar experience, in Russia it is impossible to temporarily stop registration. In any case, such a procedure is definitely not provided in any MREO traffic police.
Previously, many managed to deregister the car, and after a while just register it, but now this is impossible to do.
It turns out that if you paid for your vehicle and also plan to use it in the future, even if in six months, still be a respectable citizen and pay off all tax debts at the end of the year. Otherwise - a lawsuit, a fine, enforcement and other delights of communicating with the debtor.
Thanks to amendments to the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001, namely in paragraph 5 General Provisions, now the owner of the car cannot circumvent the law and remove the vehicle from the register temporarily by writing an application for recycling. Such a method could be one of the most optimal in order to avoid paying tax for a certain period. Indeed, now they have no right to refuse to re-register if the car has not actually been disposed of. However, in order to terminate the registration on this basis, at the moment it is necessary to provide a certificate of disposal, which confirms the fact that the vehicle was destroyed.
And although the legislator tried and made it so that it is now impossible to evade this type of taxation, one loophole in the law still remains. In order not to pay tax temporarily, you need to choose a reliable person (you can have a relative) and draw up a contract of sale for him. Next, you need to act according to the algorithm:
- End the DCT. You can not transfer either documents or a car to an imaginary buyer - this is not necessary, and it is not particularly safe. But the form is required. It is not registered anywhere and is not certified, so no one will check the document.
- Wait 10 days - this is how much is given under the new rules in order to deregister a car from the old owner and re-register it in your name. Since the transaction is imaginary, the buyer, accordingly, will not perform these actions.
- Come to the MREO and stop the registration forcibly. Thus, you will relieve yourself of the obligation to pay transport tax.
The car will automatically be put on the wanted list, i.e. when driving on such a vehicle, there is a risk of the car being arrested until the circumstances are clarified and a fine is imposed. However, if you remove the car from the register in order to temporarily not pay tax, then you are not going to use the vehicle for this time. And then the question arises, what to do next when you return to driving again.
You can re-register a car for yourself on the basis of the same sale, only now his relative who “bought” from you will “resell” the car back to you. If the traffic police have questions about this, then you can always say that money is urgently needed, or the vehicle has been idle for a long time, or it is simply inconvenient to drive.
All that remains is to write an application for registration, submit documents for a car, DKP - and restore registration again. Temporary termination of registration is resorted to only in cases where it is necessary to get rid of the tax burden for a period of six months, so a relative will even avoid a fine for late registration, since the statute of limitations for an administrative offense expires after 2 months.
Deregistration of a car is a process, although important, but not as time consuming as most other registration procedures. In the article you will learn how to deregister a car, how to do it without a car, whether it is possible to deregister a car in another region, how to write an application, where to go and other nuances of this procedure.
Deregistration of a car can be done for several reasons, although the most common of these is the sale of the car. Also, the car is deregistered for disposal, in case of loss, theft, and also in those rare cases when it is required to take the car abroad. This is done in order to stop receiving fines for the old owner (seller - in the event of a car sale), as well as to accrue transport tax.
Please note that it has become even easier to deregister a vehicle from the traffic police database in 2020 - the fact is that the legislation, and specifically, the Rules for the re-registration of vehicles, was updated in 2017, therefore, even if you previously had experience of deregistration in State traffic inspectorates, now new - slightly modified rules have been introduced for this.
Where can I deregister a car
Any vehicle is deregistered in only one state institution - the registration department of the traffic police. You can find a list of registration offices in your region or city on the official website of the traffic police in the contacts section. Here are the registration offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg and in all large and small cities, as well as regions of our country.
Deregistration of a car upon sale
Many drivers think that when selling a car, it is not necessary to remove it from the registration. After all new owner puts it on the account for himself, then the car is automatically deregistered in the traffic police and put on the new owner. But it's not. The main catch here is if new owner will not take it into account. Then fines will come to you as a seller, and transport tax will also be charged. In addition, there is a risk of falling under the Code of Administrative Offenses for transferring control to a person in a state of intoxication if the buyer is caught in such a state, although this is rare and mainly in cases where you lose the contract of sale and cannot confirm the transfer of ownership.
You can remove the car from the register in 2020 on the 11th day after the sale specified in the contract, because the seller has 10 more days by law to register the car for himself.
To remove the car from the register, you will need to write an application, pay a state duty and take two documents with you. Although, in the traffic police you will have to appear with 3 documents as a result:
- completed application for deregistration of the car,
- passport,
- purchase and sale agreement.
If you decide to contact the State Traffic Inspectorate not through the State Services, but directly, then you can fill out an application directly at the traffic police department, there is also a sample to fill out. If you decide to fill it out right away at home, so as not to waste time in the traffic police, then do not worry, the application form is not of the established form and is filled out in a free form. All you need to do is provide all the necessary information about the car and yours. Such data can be viewed in a special form of the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the provision of vehicle registration, in its appendix No. 1.
How to deregister a car through the State Services
And here there are two ways to remove the car from the register: by contacting the registration department of the traffic police directly or through the website of the State Service. In the first case, instructions are not required, in the second it is also simple:
- You go to the website of the State Services and log in,
- Fill out the application online by entering the details of your passport, vehicle passport, registration certificate, as well as the sale and purchase agreement, submit an application,
- Make an appointment with the traffic police at the selected time,
- At the selected time, you arrive at the traffic police with the documents listed in the previous list.
How to remove the car from the register if you have lost the contract of sale
If you have managed to lose the DKP, then you should not despair - you can still apply for deregistration of the car in the traffic police, although this will have to be done for other reasons. Therefore, if you parted with a new buyer on good terms, then the easiest way is to fill out a new copy of the sales contract with his signature (and, most importantly, the previous date of sale). And already with this agreement, contact the traffic police department, having learned the lesson not to lose important documents.
If, for one reason or another, you are unable to make a new copy of the lost DCT - for example, the new owner of the car does not get in touch, has claims against you regarding the purchased car and, thus, does not meet halfway in this matter, then you will have to remove the car on the basis lose her. In this case, you will not need a sales contract. You just have to point out that the TCP, which is required to terminate registration on this basis, is also lost (for example, it was in the glove compartment of a car). But it is worth warning the new owner of the car that he may have problems, since at the same time a note is made in the database of the traffic police vehicle that the car is lost, and problems may await the new owner if the traffic police officers stop him on the road. So registration by the new owner and / or facilitating deregistration by the seller in the interests of the new owner of the car.
What to do with fines that came before deregistration of a car
The fines that the new owner of the car caught before you registered and deregistered the car by you must be appealed. It is quite simple to do this: you need to send a complaint about fines, attaching a copy of the sales contract to the letter. Thus, the State traffic inspectorate will see confirmation that the car left your property on a certain date, and fines were caught after this date. Thus, this is irrefutable proof that these fines are not yours, and they will be canceled and transferred to the new owner of the car.
How to deregister a car without a car
If you want to remove the car from the registration without the vehicle itself for one reason or another - for example, if the car is not running, then you can do this for all reasons except one - exporting the car abroad (clause of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the provision of registration vehicles).
In this only case, you will have to bring the car for a mandatory inspection at the site of the traffic police. Even if the car is not running, then in order to deregister it for subsequent sale abroad, you will need to pay for a tow truck to bring it for inspection.
Removing a car from the register for recycling
The process of removing the vehicle from the register in order to dispose of it is also simple. And this can also be done on the State Services website by selecting the appropriate service. Unlike a simple deregistration due to disposal of a car, 3 more additional documents will be required for disposal:
- registration certificate (technical passport),
- certificate of disposal (according to the amended rules for deregistration of 2020).
Separately, it is worth noting the document on recycling. Prior to the changed accounting rules in 2017, this was not required. Now it is necessary to officially confirm the very fact of disposal. Innovations were made due to attempts to deregister cars when selling and losing a sales contract.
That is, now to remove the car from the register in connection with the scrap, the very fact of the scrap will be required. You can purchase such a document at the place of disposal - in other words, in the iron receiving department, which has a license to issue certificates.
How much does it cost to deregister a car and is there a state duty for it
Deregistration of a car using one of the above grounds is not subject to state duty and is absolutely free. All your expenses will be minimal at the same time: the cost of an Internet connection when applying through the State Services, as well as fare and payment for a tow truck if you remove the vehicle from the register in connection with sending it abroad, and the car is not on the move, because, as we mentioned above, for this you will need to bring the car for inspection to the traffic police.
Is it possible to deregister a car in another region?
The legislation of 2020 does not provide for any restrictions on the suspension of registration of a car at the place of registration of the owner (former owner when you sell the car). This means that you can terminate the registration of a vehicle at any traffic police department throughout Russia.
If the inspector in the window of the registration department says otherwise, then he should remember that he is the executive part of the law, and demand to refer to the regulatory legal act that prohibits deregistration of a car at the place of residence and obliges to do this at the place of registration (registration) of the applicant. The traffic police officer will not find such grounds, because they are not in any Russian law.
How to check if a car is deregistered
Checking the registration history of the vehicle is also carried out on the official website of the traffic police by the VIN code of the car, its body or chassis number.
Go to the vehicle check page on the traffic police website and enter one of the listed numbers. Next, go through protection from robots and click "request verification". As a result, the site will show you the entire registration history of your car, including the current state of its registration.
Just remember that the traffic police database on the site is somewhat late with updates - in our experience, by several days, so please be a little patient.
Five years ago, a law was passed for motorists that simplifies the registration and removal of vehicles. Now it is possible to deregister a car without a car, and there is no need to deregister a car if it has been sold. It is permissible to make a direct re-registration to the buyer. But only in some cases it is allowed to carry out the procedure without a vehicle.
Step by step, performing the actions proposed by the system, at the end the user receives the desired result:
- In the application form, it is necessary to indicate the purpose of the appeal - the removal of the car from the registration. Taking into account the geolocation of the user's location, the system immediately offers him the closest and most convenient territorial office for contact, indicates his mode of operation.
- An electronic application filled with personal data of the car owner and his car is sent to the relevant department of the state body, where it is processed.
- If the information was given correctly, a positive response will be sent to the e-mail.
- After that, the car owner should call back within three working days for further advice on actions. If the answer is negative, the applicant will be notified of the errors. If there is a problem with the documents, it can be easily fixed.
Already, millions of motorists have taken advantage of the State Services website to solve the problem of deregistration of their former “swallow”.
The most obvious of these benefits are:
Naturally, acting in the classical way, you can get all the same, only after standing in line from those who do not want to, come more than once, bringing new documents.
The State Services Portal is multifunctional.
You can even remove a car from registration in several ways:
- If the vehicle is disposed of according to the state program. There are two types of recycling: full and partial. In the first case, the car is completely broken and cannot be put into operation. With partial, only some parts that have an individual number are given for destruction. As a bonus, after participating in the program, the car owner will not receive tax receipts.
- The car is in shambles. If the car is lost or other illegal actions were committed regarding it, you must immediately write a statement to the traffic police in order to deregister the stolen property. This is one of the most frequent cases when a car is deregistered without a car. If the loss is found, then it is again put on record.
- If the car is taken out of Russia. If the car owner is going to leave the state for a long time, he must re-register the car, and before that, deregister. A transit number today can only be obtained by a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.
- The new owners did not re-register after the conclusion of the contract of sale. According to the law, ten days are given to register the sold vehicle. In order to avoid a fine, the former owner can carry out the procedure himself without a car.
After the car is sold, the entire procedure for its re-registration rests with the new owner
If new car owner did not bother to re-register the car for himself, the former owner will have to deregister it himself. To do this, you must contact the authorized body, which is the territorial division of the traffic police.
In what cases most often former owners machines apply for such a service?
- The vehicle was stolen.
- The car was taken out of Russia to the permanent place of residence of its new owner.
- The buyer did not exercise his right to register the car within 10 days after receiving the ownership rights.
Why is re-registration of cars especially important in such situations? Mostly because the former owner, having got rid of the annoying model, does not get away from the problem of paying taxes from its sale. If the new owner does not recognize the car as his own, the traffic police fines and taxes will continue to be paid by the seller.
Required Documentation
Depending on the reasons for which the car is deregistered, the relevant papers are submitted.
Required list:
- owner's passport details;
- statement;
- confirmation that the car is registered;
- registration certificate;
- confirmation of payment of state duty.
If the documents contain incorrect data, a notification will be sent from the State Services portal about this.
At any time, the documentation can be supplemented or corrected.
Writing an application to the authorized body has a standard structure. Not much information is required.
Enough basic information:
- Machine identification information.
- Owner data.
- Grounds for deregistration.
The correct spelling of the last paragraph is important, where one of the reasons is indicated: sale, border crossing, theft, disposal.
If the reason is hidden in the need for full disposal, it can be noted that there is no need to obtain certificates of production of this procedure. They won't fit anywhere. If the disposal is only partial, then an application will have to be made for each such part.
If the car was stolen
Before contacting the State Service portal regarding the deregistration of a car, the car owner must file an application for theft with the authorized body so that a criminal case is initiated on this fact.
The resolution on the initiation will then come in handy both in the insurance company and in the traffic police. You need to come to the traffic police with the following package of documents:
- statement of theft;
- passport details of the owner of the car;
- information from the police;
- technical data of the vehicle.
Make copies of the originals before going to the State Traffic Inspectorate. As a rule, due to your busyness in queues and clarification of issues of momentary importance, there will be no time to look for a copier, or this service, due to its high popularity, will be disproportionately expensive.
To go through the recycling procedure, you need to collect a small list of documents:
- statement from the owner or official representative;
- personal data of the owner of the car;
- technical information on the car;
- receipt for payment for obtaining a new number;
- license plate information.
If it is assumed that the recycling should be partial, then it will be necessary to call a specialist to inspect the machine and those of its elements that will be handed over for recycling.
When the car owner considers it necessary to sell the rest of the car, he will need this certificate issued at the end of the partial disposal procedure.
It happens that the owner of the car needs to move to another country for permanent residence or temporary residence. And he makes such a voyage on his car. This case is expressly stated in the legislation. You don't need to invent anything. Before leaving, you only need to deregister the car.
All papers are submitted to the territorial division of the traffic police at the place former registration on the territory of the Russian Federation:
- Passport data.
- The fact of registration of the vehicle.
- Identification code.
- Applying for the re-registration of the car.
- Insurance.
- Receipt for payment of duty.
Next, the state inspector inspects the car, a notice is issued at the address of the previous state registration.
After obtaining permission to deregister the car, it is presented to the registration authority at another official place of residence.
When selling a car
Selling a car is always a hassle. It is necessary to prepare the car for the new owner, clean the body, bring the documents into proper form. Sale is the most common reason for deregistration of vehicles.
The car is presented for inspection, the traffic police officers check its documents, only then it is deregistered.
During the verification of documents, it may turn out that the car is encumbered by the bank. Encumbrances mean for the seller the need to resolve all agreements with the bank, to close the credit history.
At this stage, the traffic police identifies from the database a list of unpaid fines for various violations while driving. The car owner must also pay these receipts, resolve problematic issues with the Bailiff Service, which conducts enforcement proceedings in relation to his debts.
Checking the car itself includes diagnosing its problems, a description of its real technical condition. The inspection certificate is presented to the owner of the car for study and signing.
After the completion of these procedures, the car is immediately deregistered.
The standard package that a motorist must submit includes the following list of documents:
- technical data after inspection of the vehicle;
- confirmation that the car has been sold;
- confirmation of payment of the state duty, at a cost calculated depending on the purpose of the appeal.
Almost all documents for the car, its numbers pass into the possession of the new owner.
The owner of the car contacts the traffic police, as this is the only way to fully competently remove the vehicle from registration. For the same purpose, you can contact the State Services portal.
This is a fairly convenient service for online application:
- Passport data of the car owner with the address of the place of registration.
- Passport of a car with technical characteristics.
- Confirmation of payment of the state fee.
If the application is submitted by an authorized representative, then a power of attorney must be attached as an addition.
The power of attorney must only be notarized.
If there is no car owner
A power of attorney in deregistration appears quite often. As a rule, motorists are busy people who value their time, so routine issues with documents are often entrusted to their acquaintances or lawyers.
The law allows the right of the owner to be absent when his car is deregistered. The main thing is to use the given opportunity wisely.
Issuing a power of attorney is always an additional expense. But the owner must consider not only their size. When instructing the principal to fulfill his order, he must carefully read the text of the power of attorney, which he draws up, in order to be aware of how much authority he gives to another person.
If there is no passport or other data
It is also a fairly common situation when the former owner needs to get rid of an unnecessary car, for the right to own which, he must make periodic mandatory payments, but at the same time, he does not have access to the car itself.
In addition to the vehicle itself, the owner who applied for deregistration may not have a registration certificate for the car. This is not an obstacle. You just need to contact the nearest territorial division of the traffic police with a statement about the disposal of the car. To fill out the application form, only the personal data of the owner will be required. Then they will look for the car to deregister. But the owner himself gets rid of the need to pay penalty receipts or taxes that came to him until that day.
Deregistration, unless, of course, it was associated with the complete disposal of the car, does not put a final cross on the car. Documents on it can be restored. True, for this the car itself must be available. It will have to be presented for inspection. Traffic police officers must collect all the information on the car from the accounting database, check it with the real car.
If there are no numbers
Two years ago, changes were made in the legislation that reduced the amount of documentation required for deregistration.
Currently, only the passport data of the car owner will be required to apply.. Therefore, if there is no state license plate, the car owner is still given the right to deregister.
To carry out this procedure with private car who do not have a state number, in addition to the usual application, an explanatory note is written to the MREO department. This document should describe the reasons for the absence of the number.
Under such circumstances, it is possible to deregister a car, you just need to logically and clearly explain how it could happen that there are no numbers. If the employee's arguments seem unconvincing or unsubstantiated, the numbers will be required to be provided. Thus, the standard procedure, which under normal conditions takes a minimum of time, threatens to be delayed.
Let's analyze typical situations in which you may need to perform this action:
- Let's start, perhaps, with the purchase of a car. True, in this case, we will not talk about buying a new car, but about acquiring a car "from hand", i.e. used, respectively, about re-registration. This responsibility falls on the shoulders of the new owner of the vehicle. However, there is a small caveat to this rule. If the re-registration did not occur within 10 days, then the obligation to re-register the car is transferred to the seller. By the way, the fact that the buyer must first re-register the car is not a panacea. This is primarily necessary for the previous car owner. Re-registration relieves him of all responsibility for the further fate of the car, including the payment of transport taxes.
- The second case affects the option of moving the owner of the vehicle to a new place of residence (permanent or temporary for a long time) in a foreign country.
- Theft of your car by unknown villains. This, of course, is about the case if your car cannot be found for a long time (and, most likely, it has already, alas, become spare parts, or the new owner drives it and does not suspect).
- If you decide to take advantage of the federal car recycling program. Moreover, the procedure for going through this procedure can be as complete - that is, the entire car will go to scrap due to unsuitability (all parts of the vehicle that have serial numbers), partial, that is, only some elements will be utilized.
What do you need to deregister a car?
In this section, we will analyze the general procedure for passing this procedure, and a little lower we will consider some of the nuances that must be taken into account when going through the corresponding procedure for the above circumstances. Actually, the order of passage:
- Step one. We are writing an application to the traffic police to deregister the car (a standard form is available at the traffic police department, for a fee it will even be filled out for you). Moreover, the application must indicate the reason for deregistration of the car.
- Step two. We collect and submit the documents necessary for the implementation of this procedure.
These documents include the following:
- a document proving your identity;
- a document certifying the fact of ownership of this vehicle (most often we are talking about a contract of sale or a donation contract);
- power of attorney to represent the interests of the owner, if you and he are different persons;
- vehicle passport (PTS);
- vehicle registration certificate (STS);
- you also need a license plate or an explanation for what reason it is missing.
- After submitting the documents, you will receive a receipt for payment of the state duty, and, of course, make the payment.
- After the above steps are completed, take the collected documents and the receipt to the MREO.
- If necessary, pass a technical inspection of your car.
- Next, you are given new license plate, if there is a need for this - TCP, and an inspection report.
- After all these procedures, the MREO employee will enter all the data into automatic systems accounting. On this, in principle, the procedure can be considered completed.
Is it possible to deregister a car in another city or region?
A very pressing issue that continues to worry the minds of car owners who continue to be captive to the illusion of the omnipotence of such social institution like "registration". This relic of the Soviet past, fortunately, is beginning to fade more and more into the past. Currently, you can calmly and without any problems, re-register or remove the car from the register at any department of the traffic police, any locality or region of our vast Motherland. And we repeat, there are no legitimate reasons to refuse you this procedure from the employees of the State traffic inspectorate. By the way, this aspect concerns not only deregistration of the car, but also many other things. And if suddenly some not very educated or well-mannered traffic police officer tries to convince you that this is not so, then you, with unshakable confidence in your voice, invite him to study the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. article 24.5 in the most detailed way, legally, your arguments are confirmed.
Deregistration for various reasons
Well, now, as mentioned above, we will analyze some of the nuances and features that arise when deregistering a car in various situations.
Disposal
When it comes to recycling, there are a number of advantages. The most important thing is that you do not need to undergo a technical inspection. There is also no need to submit documents for cars - STS and PTS. It is only necessary to submit documents confirming the ownership of the this car: contract of sale, contract of donation, etc. It is also a plus that recycling can be carried out even without a license plate. Instead, it will be necessary to write an explanation for what reason they (numbers) are missing.
Theft
In this case, the only nuance that distinguishes the procedure for deregistration of a stolen car from the standard procedure is that in addition to all documents, you will need to submit a certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs stating that your car is listed as stolen. And then the order of submission of documents remains the same. In the event that the documents for the car were stolen motor vehicle, then, unfortunately, you will have to go through the entire procedure for recovering documents.
Sale
In the case of the sale / purchase of a used car, you will need to pass an inspection if the deadline is right. Also, if you buy a car and want to change government number, it will be necessary to write a separate application for this.
If you sold your car, and the new owner did not register it within ten days, and he has the documents for the car, then to deregister, it is enough to contact the MREO with a passport and a purchase / sale agreement.
If the car is being exported or has already been exported abroad, the algorithm for removing it from the register does not change to a large extent. In addition, you will additionally need to pay a state duty for issuing a transit number. This is in case the departure is only planned.
Some features that relate to the inspection of the car in case of deregistration
Let's take a look at the vehicle. An inspection is not needed if you receive duplicate documents, make changes to the registration documents due to a change in your personal data (for example, last name), in a situation where its registration has been issued for some time and has already ended. Well, for granted, in case recycling takes place. But an inspection is always needed if you plan to make changes to the condition of your car, for example, make external or internal tuning, change the color of the body.
Removing a car from the register through the portal of GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES
The passage of this procedure through the portal of the State Services, on the one hand, is practically no different from the same process, so to speak, in the real world. However, on the other hand, it has some differences with a plus sign.
So, let's briefly analyze the procedure itself.
- The first thing you need to do is, of course, register on this portal, of course, if you have not done so yet. The registration procedure itself, of course, differs in the direction of complexity from the registration procedure in the same social networks. To register for the State Services, you must provide scanned copies of all your documents (passport, SNILS, TIN, etc.) to one of the multifunctional centers.
- Next, you need to select the specific section that interests you. This algorithm looks like this: Public services - Transport and driving - Registration of a vehicle - Deregistration of a vehicle - Deregistration category (hijacking, sale, moving to another state, etc.).
- After that, you need to upload scanned copies of all documents that you need to submit to deregister the car in the provided form.
- Then you pay the state duty in any convenient format: at least immediately, through a bank card, at least through a printed paper receipt, at any bank.
- Next, you await instructions on your next steps. Instructions will come either to your personal account or in the form of SMS.
Let's take a look at the pros and cons of this method. The undoubted advantage is that you avoid standing in lines. The whole procedure is clearly outlined, and you will receive the most detailed instructions about the order of passage and required documents. Also, the pluses include the fact that you will come directly to draw up documents for deregistration of the car at a strictly agreed time. Well, and, perhaps, an important positive point is the fact that users of the State Services portal are provided with a 30% discount on the payment of duties.
The disadvantages include some complexity of the procedure. It lies in the fact that you will need to provide all documents in scanned form.
We have already touched on this issue in the previous sections. Let's try to summarize some information.
In which case you may not have a car? Here the answer suggests itself - in case of theft. Here the algorithm of actions is simple. In addition to all the above documents, you need to submit a certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs about car theft.
In addition, the car may be missing in case of loss or theft of documents, in the event of a sale of the car. In all these cases, the documents will have to be restored. To do this, you will need to write an application to the traffic police. There is no need to remove the car from the register without restoring the documents, only if it is being scrapped.
