According to the new rules, the car seller is relieved of the obligation to deregister the vehicle. A change of owner in the traffic police occurs upon registration by the buyer. But what happens if you sell the car and the new owner does not register the car? Let's figure out why an untimely change of ownership in the traffic police is dangerous for the previous owner and how to avoid sad consequences.

What problems does the seller face if the new owner does not register the car?

After signing the contract and receiving the money, it’s too early to rejoice. The new owner has the right to own the car from the moment of payment, but until registration, he bears legal responsibility for the use of the vehicle. previous owner, since the car is registered in the traffic police database.

How dangerous is the situation if the new owner does not register the car:

1. Fines come to the previous owner;
2. Transport tax is charged to the person registered as the owner with the traffic police.
3. In the event of crimes involving vehicle Questions will be asked to the person to whom the car is registered.

According to the law, fines for traffic violations are issued to the person to whom the vehicle is registered with the traffic police. If the new owner has not registered the sold car, then “letters of happiness” will be sent to you.

This injustice is easy to reconcile. It is enough to contact the traffic police with an application to deregister the car, attaching a purchase and sale agreement, the accruals will be canceled and re-issued to the real violator.

Things are more complicated with transport tax. The law states that the payer is the person entered by the owner in the PTS. It turns out that until the buyer registers the car, the previous owner must pay. The tax on the vehicle will be charged until a record of the new owner appears in the traffic police database, or until the seller deregisters it. Tax costs can only be recovered from a negligent buyer: voluntarily or in court. To do this, fill out an application to the court and attach a copy of the vehicle purchase and sale agreement.

When concluding a purchase and sale agreement, you can specify penalties for violation by the buyer of the registration rules, which entail material losses for the seller

Let's look at how to avoid most problems after selling a car.

1. Visit the MREO with the buyer and carry out the re-registration procedure;
2. Indicate in the contract the possibility of terminating the contract in case of failure to register within the time limits established by law without a refund of funds or with a partial refund.

These are the main options that will help protect against dishonest buyers.

What to do if the new owner does not register the car

Despite the fact that the previous owner is not obliged to deregister the car, after 10-15 days check whether the new owner has re-registered it according to the traffic police information. You can do this by going to the official website of the traffic police. Select the “Services” and “Car Check” tab.

In the first column enter VIN car and check your registration information. The buyer is required to register the car within 10 days after purchase. If everything goes smoothly, the latest data on the date of re-registration to the new owner will be displayed.

If, after selling the car, the new owner does not register it, then there are several options for action.

Call the new owner, ask what the cause of the problem is and ask to resolve the issue. Perhaps the person was simply sick, or was going on vacation, or in his city there is no free appointment to register a car and it doesn’t fit in on time. Yes, this also happens. If a person is adequate, everything will be settled.

It happens that after a purchase, problems arise with emerging encumbrances on the car, in which case the seller will be to blame. The buyer has the right to terminate the contract and receive the money back. In this situation, a joint visit to the MREO is the best option.

If the new owner of the car feeds you breakfast, moves it and puts it aside without registering the car, threaten with breaking the contract or writing off the vehicle for scrap. A decisive attitude will give acceleration to a forgetful latecomer. We do not recommend frightening the client by filing a complaint about theft, since after presenting the CP agreement, slander will be revealed and you will have to answer to the authorities.

Let's consider the simplest and effective way, what to do if the new owner does not register the car.

Contact the nearest traffic police department with a contract for the sale of the car and an application to deregister the vehicle. An employee will accept and process the application. After this, the registration record this car is cancelled, the numbers are put on the wanted list. The procedure is free of charge and no fees are charged.

The first check of documents for the car and the new owner will mean a fine and confiscation of license plates. Another disadvantage for the buyer is that upon registration you will have to pay for the issuance of a new license plate, since the old one is canceled when deregistered by the previous owner.

Particularly touchy sellers may even write off the car as scrap. Then the new owner will face difficulties with registering the car; restoration of registration will only be possible through the court, and there is no 100% guarantee that the court will cooperate.

If the sales contract is lost

Having sold a car, most people don’t think about checking its re-registration, especially if they don’t worry about fines or other troubles and haven’t encountered any troubles before. But it happens that you receive a vehicle tax or a fine, but you have lost the car purchase agreement.

In this case, we write an application to deregister the car due to loss. It is this wording that will allow you to get rid of the registration of a vehicle that does not belong to you in the traffic police and in the future the buyer will be able to register the car without any problems.

Good luck on the roads!

The procedure for registering a vehicle with the traffic police is of an accounting and technical nature. It is necessary to grant the vehicle permission to participate in traffic. The fact of non-registration does not affect the buyer’s ownership, since it arises on the basis of the purchase and sale agreement. Even if registration was not carried out in a timely manner, the buyer does not lose the status of car owner, but driving Russian roads This is problematic on a car like this. Why don't they register the car? Is such a decision legal, and what consequences might it have?

Do I need to register the vehicle?

The vehicle must be registered within 10 days from the date of purchase. If documents are not submitted to the traffic police department, the car owner will be fined up to 2,000 rubles. Irresponsible behavior of the buyer can cause trouble for the seller, since if he uses the car and violates traffic rules, all fines will be assessed to the previous owner.

He has the right to appeal to the traffic police with a claim of unlawful imposition of sanctions, since the car was sold. After his demand to cancel the registration, the new owner will be forced to forcibly register the car and pay all fines. In the absence of registration during the period allocated by law, the seller is competent to file a statement with the police about the theft of the car, or to demand cancellation of the purchase and sale agreement.

Current schemes for avoiding registration

Car owners use many schemes to avoid registration. All of them are legal, but their use requires time and fuss, due to the need to perform specific actions within strictly regulated time frames. Methods for quick resale of vehicles, constant re-issuance of transit numbers and rewriting the terms of the completed purchase and sale transaction are popular. Before you apply any method, you should think about whether it would be easier to register the car?

Quick sales without registration

The car owner is given 10 days to register the vehicle after receiving ownership of the property. If during this time he manages to sell the car, then legally he can not register it before selling it. The procedure is automatically assigned to the new owner, who is the buyer of the vehicle. This scheme is also used from a different perspective, when the purchase and sale agreement is rewritten once every 10 days to acquaintances who have agreed to participate in the event.

Obtaining transit numbers

In the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia No. 1001 dated November 24, 2008 (as amended on March 20, 2017) “On the procedure for registering vehicles” there is a clause on the timing of vehicle registration, determined by the period of validity of the transit registration plate. The attribute is issued for the car if the seller wishes to keep the license plates of the object of sale, and the buyer is issued transit numbers. Their use is possible for 20 days, after which it is possible to repeat the procedure for obtaining them and extend their validity period. The method is real, but requires a lot of time, and if the deadlines are not tracked, the driver will have to pay fines not only for late registration, but also for exceeding the deadline for not registering.

Rewriting the purchase and sale agreement

One of the unsuccessful and troublesome ways to avoid registration is to regularly rewrite the terms of drawing up the purchase and sale agreement. Since the law regulates the need to register a car 10 days after its purchase, the contract will also have to be renewed at such intervals. From a theoretical point of view, such a procedure is not difficult, provided there is agreement former owner. The practical application of the method is inconvenient and is associated with time costs and risks of financial losses due to possible fines and problems with the seller.

Why do owners resort to such decisions?

Legislative innovations have simplified the mechanism for registering a vehicle, but the amount of the state duty, which must be paid in order to carry out any activities, has been significantly increased. registration actions in relation to the car. For this reason, in order to avoid unnecessary financial expenses, car owners successfully use methods of reselling a car without registering it. The car may not be registered for other reasons:

• Donating a purchased car to relatives;
• Purchase on credit and a change in the financial situation of the buyer, making it impossible to repay the debt according to the terms of the financial institution;
• Involvement in an accident immediately after purchase.

The reason for wanting a quick resale may be an increase in the cost of maintaining the machine or the need to invest in it to restore its normal functioning. The purchased vehicle may not be the same as the original owner saw it at the time of purchase. The revealed fact that the car was in an accident and that it was restored after the accident may also be the reason for not registering it and the desire to quickly resell it.

Possible consequences

It will be difficult to sell a car that is not registered within the regulated time frame. The transaction will have to be completed on behalf of the previous owner, since the seller has not recorded his ownership. The buyer will have problems at the stage of registration with the traffic police, since the last owner is not the seller with whom the contract was concluded. The legislation provides for the option of “cancellation of registration,” which implies that the previous owner initiates the deregistration of a sold car, the new owner of which is in no hurry to register it. In such a situation, restoring the chain of car owners will be significantly difficult. An unpleasant component of the event will be the accrual of penalties, which will have to be paid before performing any transaction with the vehicle.

The seller has the right to track changes in the status of the item for sale. To do this, he can use online or offline services. If a legal violation is detected, he has the authority to revoke the sales contract or report the car to the police as stolen. Since the buyer’s actions contain elements of crime, the law is unlikely to be on his side.

Conclusion

A car is not registered if its current owner does not want to use it. Typically, such cars are resold, and the registration is handled by a new buyer. To restore all the papers, he will have to spend a lot of time, since the seller is not listed in the documents, but the low cost of the property compensates for it. Late registration is the basis for the accrual of penalties, so the car owner should analyze what is more profitable for him, pay the fines or register the car and be a law-abiding citizen.

All articles

Registration of a car with the traffic police is a procedure that every new owner of a vehicle must undergo. In order to register a car quickly and without problems after purchase, the owner of the vehicle must know the necessary procedure and the list of papers that will need to be presented to the state traffic inspectorate. "Autocode" will tell you how to properly register a used car.

Where to register a car

There are 2 ways to register a used car:

• at the State Road Safety Inspectorate;
• using the State Services Internet portal.

Today we will take a closer look at the first option. Read about how to register a car using the State Services portal in our special material.

The rules for registering a used car require the car owner to complete a package before visiting the traffic police necessary documents, consisting of:

• Russian passport;
• a document with which you can certify ownership of the car (sale and purchase agreement (SPA), power of attorney or certificate of inheritance);
• a receipt confirming payment of the state duty in the amount of 1,500 rubles. (for more information about the state duty, see the special material);
• MTPL policy (you must first enter information about the owner of the car into it);
• applications for vehicle registration with the personal signature of the vehicle owner (how to fill out an application for registration of a car with the traffic police, read in a separate article).

Please be extremely careful when filling out the application form - a document with corrections and additions will not be accepted. An application completed in pencil is also considered invalid.

If a used car was purchased abroad, you will additionally need to provide transit numbers.

Registering a used car: procedure

When all the necessary papers have been collected, we head to the nearest traffic police department. The exact address can be obtained on the Internet - on the official portal of the State Traffic Inspectorate.

We are not too lazy to wash the car first - otherwise there is a risk that the traffic police will not allow the car to be inspected technical condition.

It is important to know that the buyer has the right to register the car directly at the place of purchase, regardless of his place of residence. For example, if the buyer lives in St. Petersburg, and a suitable used car was found in Samara, it can be registered there, but the vehicle will be assigned to your address in the Northern capital.

The procedure for registering a car consists of several stages.

1. Submission of documents

If all the papers are in order, no difficulties should arise here. A traffic police officer will review the documents and send you for a technical condition inspection.

2. Machine inspection

The procedure is carried out in a specially designated area. In this case, the compliance of the power unit number and chassis number with the data specified in the vehicle passport is verified. If the numbers do not correspond to the data from the PTS or for some reason the reconciliation cannot be carried out (numbers are illegible, erased, etc.), a forensic examination is assigned.

Also, the reason that a used car will not pass inspection at the traffic police may be the presence of significant changes in the design of the car (excessive tuning), tinted windows or lighting fixtures.

The rules for registering a car provide that the owner cannot make changes to the design of the car that could significantly affect its technical specifications. Including:

• change the number and location of seats, as well as fuel tanks;
• re-equip the chassis;
• install power units, whose power and weight differ from the parameters provided by the manufacturer;
• make adjustments to the dimensions and weight of the vehicle;
• install fuel tanks larger capacity;
• make changes to lighting equipment;
• install rims larger or smaller diameter, etc.

If the previous owner made such changes to the design of the car without appropriate approval from the traffic police, it will not be possible to register the car. That is why it is important to check the technical condition of the car at a trusted service center before purchasing.

If the state traffic inspector has not identified any violations, we move on to the final stage of registration.

3. Obtaining a state certificate. registration

To do this, we submit a technical condition inspection report to the appropriate window of the territorial traffic police department and in 10-15 minutes we become the proud owners of:

• certificates of state vehicle registration;
• state numbers.

Don’t be lazy and check the papers given to you for errors or typos (this happens).

What are the dangers of driving a car that is not registered with the traffic police?

From the moment the contract is concluded, the law allows 10 days for the newly registered owner to register the vehicle. Non-compliance of this rule threatens a number of troubles. Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for a fine in the amount of 500 to 800 rubles for operating a car that does not have state registration plates. Repeated violation of the law will result in a more severe punishment - the negligent car owner will have to pay 5 thousand rubles. or lose the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 1-3 months.

Please note that you will not be able to register a car that has been scrapped, is under arrest or is wanted. To avoid problems even at the stage of finalizing the transaction for the purchase of a used car, we advise
