All about buying and selling cars

How to deregister a car sold under a sales contract? When can I remove a car from the traffic police register without a car and how to do it? basic rules and nuances How to deregister sold.

Deregistering a car is required in many cases - when scrapping, hijacking, taking the car abroad. The good news for motorists is the simplification of the vehicle sales process. Now the buyer, not the seller, is engaged in the re-registration of the car when it is sold.

Today we will talk about in what cases it is required to remove a car from the register, what documents will have to be collected and what this procedure includes.

In what situations is it required to deregister a car?

4 main cases in which it is necessary to deregister a car:

  1. Car sale... Although now it is not required to independently deal with the removal of a car from the register when transferring it to (this responsibility falls on the shoulders of the buyer), situations may arise in which this cannot be done without it. To re-register a car when the law allocates only 10 days for the sale ... If the buyer did not meet them, then the seller himself has the right to deregister his car. Otherwise, everything and fines will continue to come to the address of the previous owner.
  2. Driving a car or driving it outside of Russia. If the vehicle leaves the border of the country for a long time, then it is necessary to take the car off the register and register it at the place of its new stay. Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs can instead use transit numbers.
  3. Removal of the machine from the register for disposal. The recycling program allows you to get rid of your old car. It can be complete or partial (when only individual parts and elements of the vehicle are handed over). After scrapping, you no longer need to pay taxes for the car.
  4. Hijacking. If the car is stolen by intruders, then it is reasonable to remove the car from the register so as not to pay taxes or fines for it. If it is found, then there will be no problems with the new registration.

What documents are required for deregistration?

The list of documents that are needed to deregister a car depends on who owns it.

Individuals show the employee a Russian passport, a receipt for payment of the state duty (with the owner's personal data in the Payer column), a vehicle passport and a certificate of its state registration. When the car is removed from the register, its owner is returned the passport and title bar with paper registration numbers.

Legal entities provide slightly different documents for deregistration:

  • passport of the representative of the organization who is involved in the entire procedure;
  • power of attorney to remove the car from the register, typed on the company's letterhead;
  • Title and vehicle registration certificate;
  • a payment order with information about the paid duty (in this case, the duty is paid by non-cash method).

After removing the car from the register, the representative of the organization, as in the previous case, return his passport, title and paper transit numbers.

How to deregister a car?

Removing a car from the register begins with writing an application at the nearest traffic police department. The branches have special stands with filled out sample applications and lots of useful information about the procedure. The application is submitted to the traffic police officer along with the documents collected earlier. After that, their authenticity must be verified, and the car is broken through the bases for the fact of criminal actions with its participation and for the presence of other debts.

If unpaid fines are found, they will have to be paid off immediately. There are no other reasons for refusing to deregister a car (unless the employee discovers that he was provided with fake documents).

In addition to fines, you will need to pay a number of other fees, commissions and duties, the exact list of which differs in different constituent entities of the Russian Federation:

  • services of paperwork for deregistration;
  • assessment of the car by a forensic expert and drawing up an inspection report of its technical condition;
  • transit numbers ( 200 rubles for paper and 1600 rublesfor metal);
  • debt for the transport tax (although the collection was canceled in 2011, the debt from that time may remain to this day);
  • deregistration fee for disposal ( 200 rubles);
  • payment for making changes to or for changing the place of registration of the vehicle ( 350 rubles);
  • payment for registration of the STS to another person ( 500 rubles).

On average, you will have to pay from 850 to 1050 rubles for removing a car from the register , depending on its brand and other characteristics. In some cases, you will have to give up to 2500 rubles .

After payment of all duties, a technical examination of the car is appointed, on which the numbers of individual spare parts are compared with the data specified in the technical passport. After receiving the certificate of technical inspection in your hands, it remains only to go back to the window where the documents were originally given in order to finally remove the car from the register.

The former owner receives the technical passport of the car and new transit numbers (if required). It is allowed to drive a car using transit numbers for another 2 months, during which it is necessary to pass a new registration or perform other actions with the car. Driving a car beyond this period is subject to a fine and sending it to a parking lot.

How to deregister a car for disposal?

It is not necessary to deregister the vehicle for disposal. From the documents you will need a passport, registration numbers, TCP, technical passport and application. The first step is to draw up a statement addressed to the head of the MREO for deregistration in connection with disposal. It indicates the reasons for disposal, a list of the attached documents. It is separately indicated that there is no need for a certificate for the vacated units.

The application and other documents are submitted to the MREO department. It is not necessary to inspect the technical condition of the vehicle. After registration of the car deregistration, the owner receives a certificate, according to which the vehicle can be disposed of freely.

If you want to sell individual parts of a car that has become unusable, then when filling out an application you need to ask for a certificate for numbered units. With him and your passport, you should contact the MREO department and provide the car for inspection of the parts that you want to keep. The car is removed from the register, and the driver is issued a certificate for the vacated units. Now they can be sold freely.

In the article, we considered the question of how to remove a car from the register and what documents will be needed for this. In conclusion, let us say that deregistration of a car is possible without the presence of the vehicle itself... In some cases (for example, in case of theft), it is completely impossible to provide a car. It is impossible to do without technical inspection only in case of partial utilization and when exporting a car to another country.

You are leaving for a long time or your car will simply be unclaimed for some time due to circumstances. Naturally, in this case, the question arises, is it possible to somehow remove this car from the register in order not to pay the transport tax (TN) for the period when it is not in operation? We will explain how to remove a car from the register completely so that you never pay a fee for it again and whether it is possible to do so if the vehicle is not temporarily operated.

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 you can deregister the vehicle and thereby get rid of the need to pay transport tax. There are ten such grounds in total:

  • loss of a vehicle (as a rule, this is an accident);
  • transfer 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 lease 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 entities persons or death of an individual owner;
  • the temporary registration period has ended;
  • a statement by 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 rent 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 is different, only the application for termination of registration remains unified. The only difference is the reason, which is indicated in the body of the document and is the basis for deregistration of the vehicle and termination of tax accrual.

Is it possible to temporarily remove a car from the register

In fact, you pay the transport tax to the treasury as compensation for the damage that the vehicle causes while driving on the roads. However, if the car will not drive on these very roads for some time, is it possible not to pay tax? Despite the fact that foreign traffic inspectorates are already using this experience, in Russia it is impossible to temporarily stop registration. In any case, such a procedure is definitely not provided in any MREO of the traffic police.

Previously, many managed to remove a car from the register, and after a while, simply register it, but now it is impossible to do this.

It turns out that if you paid for your vehicle and in the future also plan to use it, even in six months, still be a good citizen and pay off all tax debts at the end of the year. Otherwise - a lawsuit, a fine, enforced collection and other delights of communication with the debtor.

Thanks to amendments to the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001, namely in paragraph 5 of the General Provisions, now the owner of the car cannot bypass the law and temporarily remove the vehicle from the register by writing an application for disposal. This method could be one of the most optimal in order to avoid paying tax for a certain period. After all, now they do not have the 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, a certificate of disposal should be provided, which confirms the fact that the vehicle was destroyed.


And although the legislator tried and did so that it is now impossible to evade this type of taxation, one loophole in the law still remained. In order not to pay tax temporarily, you need to choose a reliable person (you can have a relative) and draw up a sales contract for him. Next, you need to act according to the algorithm:

  1. Get a PrEP. It is possible not to transfer documents or cars to an imaginary buyer - this is not necessary, and it is not particularly safe. But the form is compiled without fail. He is not registered anywhere and is not certified, therefore, no one will check the document.
  2. Wait 10 days - this is how much is allotted under the new rules in order to deregister the car from the old owner and re-register it in your name. Since the transaction is fictitious, the buyer, accordingly, will not perform these actions.
  3. Come to MREO and stop registration forcibly. Thus, you will relieve yourself of the obligation to pay transport tax.

The car will automatically be put on the wanted list, that is, when moving on such a vehicle, there is a risk of arresting the car until the circumstances are clarified and a fine is imposed. However, if you deregister a car in order to temporarily avoid paying tax, it means that you are not going to use the vehicle for this time. And here the question arises, how to proceed further when you return to driving again.


You can re-register the car to yourself on the basis of the same purchase and sale, only now a relative who “bought” it from you will “resell” the car back to you. If the traffic police have questions about this, then we can always say that money is urgently needed, or the vehicle has been idle for a long time, or it is simply inconvenient to operate.

It only remains to write an application for registration, submit documents for a car, DCT - and again restore the registration. The temporary termination of accounting is resorted to only in cases when it is necessary to get rid of the tax burden for a period of six months, so a relative will avoid even a fine for untimely registration, since the limitation period of an administrative offense expires after 2 months.

However, the car seller still has the right to deregister the car for sale. Why do this? In order to protect yourself. Selling a car to a complete stranger, you cannot be sure that he will responsibly treat the regulations and re-register the car within the specified time frame. But if the car is not re-registered, according to the documents, you still remain its legal owner, and transport tax is charged on your name. In addition, in the event of an accident with a sold car, you may be held liable as the official owner.

The law allows the former owners of the vehicle to cancel the registration after the sale if the buyer has violated the rules and terms of renewal. But, having done this immediately, before selling, you will not have to check the status of the sold car in the future and worry about your safety.

However, it should be noted that the deregistration procedure is paid. You will have to pay the state duty for issuing a transit number - 1600 rubles.

Can I sell a decommissioned car?

Despite the fact that the procedure for deregistering a car for sale is not popular today, it is possible to sell a car deregistered.

There are two ways to issue a sales and purchase agreement for a deregistered vehicle:

  1. Through a commission company. In this case, passports of both parties to the transaction are required. By the way, the new owner can also pay for the car through such a company after the conclusion of the contract.
  2. Draw up a sales and purchase agreement yourself. This method is free. However, risks for both parties to the transaction are not excluded in this case.

To register a car with a canceled registration, the new owner will need to undergo a technical inspection, then contact the traffic police-MREO with the documents for the car, a purchase and sale agreement and a passport.


How to deregister a sold car?

If you decide not to deregister a car upon sale, after the transaction, check whether the new owner has re-registered it for himself. There are several ways to track the status of the vehicle:

  • personally contact the traffic police department and submit an appropriate application
  • online on the traffic police website
  • online through specialized Internet services, for example "Autocode"

The first method is not popular as it takes a lot of time. Your application to the traffic police can be considered up to 30 days!

To track the status of a car on the Internet, go to the website, select a service, for example, on the traffic police website, go to the "Services" section, and then to the "Check cars" section. In the corresponding fields, you need to enter the vehicle data, such as: VIN-code, chassis license plate, body or engine number. The request is processed for several minutes, after which you will receive a response.

How to deregister a car in the traffic police in 2020 - the most detailed article with step-by-step instructions

Hello everyone! How to remove a car from the traffic police register? I will talk about the main options that exist for 2019, I will describe in detail what needs to be done in each specific case, I will pay attention to important nuances and difficulties, which will help to achieve success even in seemingly hopeless situations.

Igor Pischy with you, let's go!

Is it possible to deregister a car in 2019

Yes, you can. The traffic police provides for several different procedures that relate to the removal of vehicles (TC) from the registration register (RU), depending on the goal pursued by the applicant.

Where vehicles are deregistered

Registration registration of vehicles is under the jurisdiction of the traffic police. For some vehicles (tractors, some special equipment and self-propelled vehicles), the analogue of this department is Gostekhnadzor. Accordingly, all registration actions (RD) related to vehicle accounting are carried out in these departments.

But now some actions on RU with TS can be carried out in other ways - online and by contacting multifunctional centers (MFC - "My Documents").

That is, there are three ways for applicants to remove vehicles from the RU:

  • In the traffic police - directly (main).
  • Through the MFC - carrying out a certain part of the necessary actions with the help of a specialist.
  • Through the Internet - carrying out a certain part of the necessary actions without leaving home using the State Service portal.

The procedure for withdrawing from the traffic police

Removing the vehicle from the RU directly to the traffic police allows you to take the required action as quickly as possible - if there are no problems, the service is provided on the day the applicant applies (if there is no queue, within an hour).

General order passing the procedure in the traffic police as follows:

  1. Definition required actions.
  2. Choice divisions of the traffic police.
  3. Collection required documentation.
  4. Payment on state duty and other payments, if provided by the service.
  5. Recording to an appointment at the selected unit (via the terminal on site or online).
  6. Visit subdivisions at the time indicated in the electronic queue.
  7. Expectation call by number of the electronic queue.
  8. Broadcast to the traffic police operator of the application and the package of attached documentation (if required, the license plate is also transferred) for preliminary and in-depth verification.
  9. Repeat call after waiting and getting the result (issuing a document for the service performed or refusal with explanations of the reason).

Attention! In some cases, taxiways related to the removal of a vehicle from the register require the provision of a car for inspection.

You can select the necessary traffic police unit on a special page of the traffic police portal through the search form.

Is it possible to remove a car from the register at the MFC

Despite the fact that the MFC network now provides a number of services to motorists (driver's licenses, the issuance of some permits, payment of fines, etc. - in an intermediary mode), the RD related to the removal of the vehicle from the register has not yet been included in this list (which in different branches also different). But there are such plans.

However, through the MFC, the driver can receive qualified assistance from a specialist in preparing for the procedure for the required service:

  • Find out what exactly is required the applicant in his particular situation.
  • Determine which documents need to be collected by the applicant.
  • Choose suitable for the applicant the traffic police department.
  • Correctly compose application for the required service.
  • Make an appointment to receive services in the required traffic police department at a convenient date and time for the applicant.
  • Get other information and advice on an individual basis.

To carry out these actions, the applicant needs:

  1. Discover contact details of the nearest MFC.
  2. Sign up appointment.
  3. Visit institution "My Documents" at the time specified by appointment.

You can find out the contact details of the required MFC through special catalogs like the portals Mfcgos.ru, MFC.rf, etc.

How to sign up for car deregistration

Making an appointment with the desired department can be done in several ways:

  • Personally take a coupon electronic queue at the MFC office through a self-service terminal.
  • Sign up by phone, which can be found on the official regional portal of the MFC.
  • Sign up through the electronic reception regional portal MFC (this method is not always available yet).
  • Sign up on the State Services portal (not valid in all cities).

Withdrawal through the portal of the State Service

Through the portal of the State Service, you can carry out the following preliminary RD related to the removal of the vehicle from the register:

  • Utilization (due to vehicle write-off).
  • Re-registration (due to a change in ownership of the vehicle).
  • Termination of RU (if the new owner did not register the vehicle within the prescribed 10 days).
  • Car removal outside Russia.

For the listed items through the portal of the State Service, you can carry out a significant part of the necessary actions online without leaving your home, including the payment of state duties with a favorable discount. However, to complete the procedure in all cases, a personal visit to the traffic police by the applicant is required.

General algorithm of actions on the portal for all of the above cases.

Perform preliminary steps:

  1. Login on the portal and enter your personal account (or register if it is absent).
  2. Prepare information from the documents required for the procedure.
  3. Go to the desired section of the portal.

Complete the first part of the basic steps by entering information in the appropriate forms under the following categories:

  • A type TS
  • The kind of your rights on the vehicle as an applicant.
  • Personal data (full name, etc.).
  • Passport data (registration, etc.).
  • Vehicle data (category, vehicle status, labeling related to auto documentation, etc.).

Attention! If necessary (this is not necessary in all cases), the state duty for withdrawal is paid - on the State Services there is a 30% discount on it.

Carry out the second part of the main actions, choosing the following in the appropriate forms:

  • A place, where the required traffic police unit is located.
  • Convenient date and time to visit the unit.
  • Agree on the terms of service online.
  • Click by clicking the "Submit application" button.
  • Wait for a positive result online checks on the previously specified information.

If all the data is entered correctly, then at the selected time the applicant visits the required department and provides the original documents for verification by the operator. If necessary (not in all cases), a car is provided for inspection by an inspector-technician at the observation deck.

Attention! Applicants can decide on the list of documents required to obtain the desired service on the page "Car owners" of the traffic police portal.

Withdrawal in another region

The applicant has the right to take actions to remove the vehicle from the RU, regardless of the place of residence / stay or registration, according to
p. 25 of the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 399.

This provision is true not only for individuals, but also for legal entities - the location and registration of a legal entity (or its branch) can also be any.

However, depending on the type of deregistration of the vehicle, this provision is not always effective. For example, for individuals, recycling / disposal is available in any city, region or region of the Russian Federation where there are traffic police units (previously this could only be done in your region).

But for legal entities, the old norm remained in force, but only in terms of documentary registration (writing off / archiving data on the vehicle). If the actual disposal of the car is planned in another region, then there are no restrictions for legal entities - you can take transport to another city and to another region to the selected supplier.

Both individuals and legal entities are prescribed to restore a car from scrap at the place of the last registration of vehicles.

Re-registration - deregistration of a car due to a change of ownership

In this section, we will talk about the most popular type of removal of a vehicle from a RU - its re-registration with the traffic police in connection with a change of ownership. This category includes the following situations of transfer of ownership of the vehicle from one person to another:

  • Sale in all its varieties.
  • Donation in all its varieties.
  • Inheritance in all its varieties.
  • Broadcast in all its varieties.

Attention! According to the laws of the Russian Federation, the CU can have several share owners at the same time. However, in the traffic police, a car is registered only for one person (natural or legal), and all the rest remain in the status of share owners.

Among motorists, and in the traffic police, taxiways, due to the change of owner, are no longer classified as removing the vehicle from the RU. Even in the relevant regulation, this operation is indicated as “making changes due to the change of owner (owner)” - Appendix No. 1 to Order No. 605.

However, this operation was called re-registration for convenience, but in fact, technically, as in the days of the reference-account, it is divided into two operator actions for the RU - withdrawal and arming.

That is, when the new owner of the car turns to the traffic police about its re-registration, the operator first removes the vehicle from the RU to the previous owner, and then registers for the new one. For motorists, everything looks like one re-registration process.

Therefore, re-registration belongs to the previously mentioned category of registration removal of the vehicle from the register, along with the termination of the RU.

Who should deregister the vehicle and is it obligatory to deregister it when selling in 2019

No, there is no need to deregister the car upon sale. Earlier, yes - when the owner changed, the owners first removed the car from the RC, and then put it on record. For ease of understanding, it is generally accepted that such a removal from the RU was canceled.

In fact, this action is not canceled, but removed from the duties of car owners and assigned to the duty of the operator. And now the applicant, when applying for the re-registration service, receives two in one - the removal and setting of the vehicle at the RU in the form of one combined service.

Is it possible to remove a car from the register under a sale and purchase agreement

As mentioned above, when the owner of the vehicle changes, the applicants no longer need to carry out a separate operation to remove it from the RU. However, some do not know that this is not just a lack of necessity, but the impossibility of such an action in a separate order on the part of the applicant.

That is, for example, if the new real owner of the car asks the traffic police to remove from the RU from the vehicle the vehicle purchased under the contract of sale (DCT) on the basis of its purchase, then he will be denied because such a service for cars remaining in the Russian Federation, no more. But for the former owner, there is a service for removing the vehicle from the RU on the basis of monetary policy.

However, the new owner can withdraw on other grounds - loss, theft, write-off. The only case when a car is removed from the register under the monetary policy is its export outside Russia.

Sold a car under a sales contract - how to deregister

When re-registering a car sold under a sale and purchase agreement, the applicant needs to perform actions according to the following algorithm:

  1. Prepare the vehicle for the inspection procedure- Compliance with the technical inspection and GOST standards, access and readability of the marking plates, troubleshooting.
  2. Preparation of a basic package of documents.
  3. Selecting a traffic police unit, consultation (in case of any difficulties - in person, telephone or other remote mode).
  4. Making an appointment with the traffic police - in person or remotely (through the portal of the State Service, MFC).
  5. Payment of state duty - in the traffic police department, banks, online (through State services).
  6. Preparation of the final package of documents - a receipt for payment of the state duty and an application are added to the above (the application can be drawn up independently according to samples on information stands or received online, with the help of an inspector on duty at the traffic police, with the help of the MFC and through State services).
  7. Visiting the traffic police at the appointed time - put the car on the observation deck and submit documents for reconciliation in accordance with the call by electronic queue. If the verification at the window did not reveal any problems, the documents are accepted for further verification, and the applicant is sent to the observation deck for the result of the examination. The operator will immediately return what is not needed or what does not require further verification, as well as what is needed to pass the vehicle inspection.
  8. Submission of inspection results and waiting - if the vehicle check is passed, then the application signed by the technician and the license plates removed by him (if they are replaced) are submitted to the receiving window. After that, you need to wait for a call on the final result.
  9. Issuing the result of vehicle re-registration - upon a call to the window, the operator will give the applicant a new STS, PTS with the entered data, new license plates (they are not issued if the change of ownership was with the numbers retained), documents to be returned.

Form and sample applicationto re-register the vehicle, you can download the following links:

A more detailed list of necessary and additional documents is set out in clause 15 of the Administrative Regulations for the registration of a vehicle (Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 605 dated 07.08.2013).

The detailed procedure for re-registering a vehicle in connection with its sale, as well as re-registering a vehicle in connection with other types of change of ownership, is described in the following article:

What documents are needed

To deregister you will need:

  • Civil passport (or an equivalent document).
  • Vehicle passport (PTS).
  • Title deed - DKT, deed of gift, barter agreement, etc.
  • - should be, but it is not necessary to present it.
  • Registration certificate - STS of the previous owner (if any).
  • Additional documents - power of attorney, construction safety certificate, cargo customs declaration, documents for the power unit, etc.

What documents remain

After registering the car, all submitted documents will be returned to the applicant - title, passport, power of attorney, DCT and so on.

If the car is removed from the register, then who owns it

Ownership of the car arises from the moment the vehicle is handed over to the buyer on the basis of the purchase and sale agreement. That is, when a car is removed from the register and a monetary policy is issued, it no longer belongs to the seller.

Is it possible to temporarily remove a car from the register

Another option for the traffic police service to remove the vehicle from the RU is called termination of registration. It involves the suspension of the effectiveness of RU in the traffic police bases with the possibility of prompt restoration.

That is, the data on the vehicle is not archived, but is marked in the databases as related to the suspended registration (temporarily or permanently - this is an individual matter).

This service is regulated by section 12 (clauses 60 - 66) of paragraph III of the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605.

When can you stop registering a car?

The RI termination procedure has several options and can be applied in the following situations:

  1. Change of ownership A vehicle in connection with its sale or transfer.
  2. Impossibility use of the vehicle.
  3. The unknown location of the vehicle.
  4. Theft car.

At the same time, the impossibility of using the car and the uncertainty of its location are combined into one category - the loss of the vehicle.

Termination of registration due to change of owner of the car

This option is most in demand among motorists. This procedure is intended for those who sold their car or otherwise transferred the rights to its property to another person.

The termination of RU on this basis is regulated by clause 60.4 of Order No. 605.

What is this procedure for?

This is a very useful service that allows the former owner to suspend the RC in his name in advance of the sale. Thus, the former owner frees himself from the need to pay transport tax, the risk of paying off other people's fines, and possible proceedings in case of accidents with the vehicle.

Also, the procedure encourages the new owner to fulfill the obligation to re-register the car for himself, since driving a vehicle with a discontinued RC is prohibited. At the same time, the new owner can register the car at any time independently on the basis of the title deed - the participation of the former owner is not required.

How long does it take to deregister a car after the sale?

In more detail, the procedure for terminating the RU CU is described in the article:

Attention! A receipt for payment of the state duty for the termination of the RU CU is not needed, since deregistration is free.

The former owner can check the registration status of the vehicle by state number, VIN-code (or body / chassis number) on a special service of the traffic police portal.

Do I need to deregister a car upon delivery to trade in

After making a deal with the official purchase of a car by a car dealership (under the trade in program) or under other agreements with legal entities working in the field of used vehicles (for example, a purchase agreement, commission, etc.), in many cases, re-registration of the vehicle for the new owner is delayed or not at all.

In addition, legal entities-auto dealers are interested in ensuring that the vehicle received by them remains on the effective RU until it is sold to the final owner. But the timing of implementation can be very different.

The key point here is your contract with a legal entity, namely its form and content. For example, there are agency agreements and commission agreements, according to which the vehicle remains in the ownership of the seller until the moment of sale, and the legal entity acts only as an intermediary according to the documents. In this case, the RU can be terminated only after 10 days from the moment the machine was sold by a legal entity.

Contracts of a different form, when the vehicle becomes the property of a legal entity upon redemption, may also contain clauses that oblige the former owner to wait within a certain period (several months).

In this case, the RU can be terminated immediately after the vehicle is bought out by the legal entity, but then the dealer will file claims for non-fulfillment of the terms of the contract, which is fraught with problems with the loss of time, nerves and money.

In such a situation, experts advise to carefully study the terms of the contract (preferably with the involvement of a lawyer), and also pay attention to the following aspects:

  • Optimal period of vehicle sale - the contract must contain this clause, which gives the former owner the full right to terminate the RU after the expiration of the period specified in the document, regardless of the results of the sale.
  • Duty of timely notification the former owner of the sale of the vehicle to the end customer.
  • Responsibility for admission fines Traffic police in the name of the former owner during the sale period.
  • Duty of verification legal entity of registration status resold vehicle, with notification of the results of the former owner or with the obligation to resolve the problematic issue.
  • Granting the right to terminate RU an intermediary legal entity with the obligation to notify the former owner.
  • Obligation to transfer to the former owner of one copy of the DCT legal entity with the end customer.

With competently drawn up standard forms of contracts of legal entities (provided that an honest business is conducted), problems with the status of RU usually do not arise.

How to stop registering a car when selling it to outbid

When unofficially buying cars by outbidding, the question of the effectiveness and status of RU is often raised. The fact is that outbids practically do not register vehicles that they prepare for resale. Moreover, they always try to build an outbid scheme so that their details do not appear in the transaction at all, conducting it in absentia between the primary seller and the final buyer.

If the PrEP concluded with the outbid does not have the real name and signature of the buyer, as well as the date, then it is problematic to terminate RU on it. Therefore, in such transactions, insist on drawing up a full-fledged monetary policy with the full name and signature of the outbid. At the same time, it will not be superfluous to check his passport for the reality of the data entered into the contract.

In this case, outbidding usually separately stipulates a verbal condition - a request not to terminate the RU before the sale of the vehicle, undertaking to immediately notify the former owner of the purchase and not allow fines. At the same time, the seller is free to act at his own discretion - immediately terminate the RU or comply with the agreement with the outbid and terminate it 10 days after the car comes into the possession of the final owner.

How many days after the sale can the car be deregistered

According to clause 60.4 of Order No. 605, registration accounting for a sold car under a sale and purchase agreement may be suspended at the request of the former owner, if the new owner has not re-registered the car within the prescribed 10 days.

Accordingly, immediately after the conclusion of the transaction, it is impossible to terminate the RU - the service will be refused, since this would be a violation of the buyer's rights established by law.

They did not stop the registration of the car after its sale - what will it be

Unlike the buyer, there are no penalties for the continued RU for the seller of the vehicle. However, this can cause much more problems than a new owner.

Is it possible to remove and not register a car

No. The RU procedure is required within 10 days after purchasing the machine. Driving an unregistered car is prohibited - otherwise a fine or deprivation of rights for a repeated violation.

Who receives fines if the car is not deregistered

Fines can be received according to the details of the current RU. The fact of the sale of the vehicle does not exempt the former owner from paying traffic fines. They can be challenged in court, but this is quite troublesome and in many cases unprofitable.

Situations are especially dangerous when the seller, for some reason (change of address, etc.), does not receive notifications of fines for the sold vehicle and does not check their existence himself. This can last for years and the total amount of interest can reach very significant values.

In addition, procedural measures can be initiated against the seller to collect the debt with all the ensuing consequences up to the arrest of property and the detention of the "debtor" himself. In this case, the proceedings may take a long time, and the measures taken will continue to be effective.

Transport tax problems and possible car accidents

In addition to fines, a similar situation can be created by the transport tax debt, which also comes to the details of the current RU.

Well, sometimes with the participation of a sold car, some trouble can happen - for example, it can be hijacked as a tool for committing a crime, etc. In this case, the police will first of all disturb the seller, and not the actual owner.

And if the monetary policy was lost, there is no other evidence of the transaction, and the buyer will refuse (stating that there was no transaction), then with a certain amount of bad luck, the case can take a completely nasty turn, fraught with unfair criminal prosecution and even putting an innocent person on a real term - there were such cases.

Therefore, it is better to stop RI on time than to expose yourself to the listed risks. Even if the buyer tearfully swears that he will definitely re-register the transport, but later, because now there is no time, etc. It is better not to listen to such persuasion, since they may turn out to be a dishonest buyer.

Is it possible to simply terminate the registration of a car without selling

Yes, you can. Among other things, specified in clauses 60.1 - 60.10 of Order No. 605, this is provided for in case of loss and theft of the vehicle.

Termination of vehicle registration due to its loss

This service allows you to suspend the RU on transport, which its owner cannot use for various reasons. It is regulated by clause 60.1 of Order No. 605.

Inability to use the car

If the machine is at the disposal of the owner, but is not suitable for operation due to technical reasons (rotted, burnt out, etc.), then this serves as the basis for suspending the RU.

To confirm this basis in the traffic police, along with the application and the civil passport, a corresponding supporting document is provided.

This can be the conclusion of an accredited workshop (for example, during a long overhaul) or documentation drawn up for a wrecked car or other accidents, which reflects the damage received.

If the car is gone for a long time

It often happens that the owner does not have his vehicle and he does not have the opportunity to return the car to his disposal. This may be due to some incidents (for example, deeply sunk) or simply to an unknown location (lost).

The latter usually concerns the gray scheme of buying and selling by, when the vehicle has changed a lot of owners by transfer and / or no longer exists physically or as an integral operating structure.

From the documents confirming the basis specified in the application, certificates from government departments (for example, from the Ministry of Emergencies) or simply intelligible explanatory notes can be used here.

Termination of vehicle registration due to theft

This service allows you to suspend the operation of the RU on a hijacked vehicle, or lost under unknown circumstances for a long time. It is regulated by clause 60.2 of Order No. 605.

The owner has the right to terminate the RU both during the investigative actions of the Internal Affairs Directorate and after their termination. But it is better to carry out the procedure immediately, especially if the STS is stolen together with the car, and also if there are suspicions that the vehicle was stolen in order to commit a crime with its use. Documents from the Department of Internal Affairs and explanatory documents are used to confirm the grounds.

Attention! Under no circumstances use the suspension of the RU on the basis of theft on the sold vehicle as a punishment for the new owner for untimely re-registration. By this, you are committing a criminal offense (knowingly false denunciation), prosecuted under Art. 306 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Watch the video where you will learn additional nuances on the procedure for terminating the registration of a vehicle with the traffic police:

Car write-off

The vehicle is written off in connection with its disposal. This service is designed to completely stop the operation of the RU and place information about it in a separate archive database. After that, the car loses its vehicle status and acquires the status of material.

Write-off can be of two types:

  1. Preparation for disposal.
  2. Actual disposal.

These procedures can be applied in part (preparation) or in sequence (preparation + disposal).

Preparation for disposal

In this case, the data on the vehicle is archived, but for some reason it is not processed. Nowadays, this form of write-off is problematic due to the requirement of a Certificate of Acceptance for Processing from the procurement company.

But they get him by various gray schemes, not taking the car for processing or taking it out of there later. And earlier the vehicle simply remained with the owner as a material that could be sent later for spare parts.

A distinctive feature of partial write-off is the ability to fully restore the reactor plant. Previously, this was impossible, but now it is regulated by clause 18 (paragraph 5) of Order No. 399. It states that if the vehicle has not undergone actual processing, then its RU can be renewed upon a corresponding application.

At the same time, such an application needs to be submitted only to the traffic police department where the car was registered before it was written off (since the data on the written off cars are archived there).

Actual disposal

When writing off a vehicle according to this scheme, actions are taken to archive data and deliver the car to an accredited collection point for recyclable materials. After the actual write-off, the restoration of RU is impossible.

A type of actual write-off is partial utilization, in which the car loses the status of the vehicle and the structural mechanism, but individual components and assemblies retain it. At the same time, the corresponding documents are issued for the stored numbered units, which will be needed if they are planned to be reused in the future.

Step-by-step algorithm for car write-off

To write off the vehicle in connection with its disposal, the applicant needs to perform actions according to the following algorithm:

  1. Decide what form the write-off will be applied to the vehicle.
  2. Prepare the vehicle for write-off - remove all unnecessary from the machine, and in case of partial disposal, remove the required components and assemblies and ensure the identification of the marking on the nameplates.
  3. Select convenient traffic police department and an accredited processing point.
  4. Consultwith a specialist of the selected unit in case of any difficulties - in person, by telephone or other remote mode.
  5. Conclude an agreement with a procurement companyby providing a car, a civil passport and a title deed (if any).
  6. Hand over the vehicle to the procurement company and receive a package of documents there: a certificate of disposal, an acceptance certificate and an act of completeness of the vehicle. Some other documents may also be issued (an act of transferring the scrap to the recycler after processing the vehicle, a copy of the company's license).
  7. Prepare the final package of documents, which necessarily includes a civil passport, a certificate of disposal, a corresponding statement and an explanatory one in the absence of PTS and license plates. A receipt for payment of the state duty is added to the package, if the disposal is partially made.
  8. To make an appointment in the traffic police - in person or remotely (through the portal of the State Service).
  9. Apply in person or remotely (through State services).
  10. Visit the traffic police and get the result (removal of the vehicle from the RU and a corresponding certificate of this or a vehicle accounting card with the signature and seal of the official).

You can download a sample of filling out an application for car scrapping at the link below:

Attention! PTS and STS handed over when the vehicle is written off are not returned and disposed of. Therefore, if the car somehow escaped the actual disposal and there is a possibility of restoration of the RC for it, it is better to keep the TCP, replacing it with an explanatory document with a photocopy of the document. In some traffic police, instead of an explanatory one, you can confine yourself to just an oral notification that the PTS and / or STS have not survived.

The process of writing off the vehicle is described in more detail in the article:

How to remove a car from the disposal register if it is not on the move

With complete disposal, it does not matter whether the vehicle is in motion or not, in what technical condition it is, what brand, type, etc. An exception may be for tractors and special equipment.

Utilizers also pay attention to the SKD: chassis, unit, and gearbox - they must be in place, at least in part. At the same time, numbered units should not be absent, if there is no corresponding document from the traffic police on their withdrawal as released.

Attention! Markings on the nameplates of the body and the number of the unit must be with the markings that are indicated in the TCP.

Therefore, if the car is partially disposed of (for example, you need to leave the engine), then it is immediately provided for inspection at the traffic police, a corresponding statement is written and a document for the released numbered unit is taken in advance. And then, in a separate procedure, the vehicle is sent for disposal without the engine.

If the car is not on the move, then there are two solutions:

  1. To transport to the place of inspection and disposal by an auto transporter.
  2. Reach an agreement in the traffic police about the field inspector (this is far from always possible), and in the procurement company about transportation from the location of the vehicle (this is easier).

Is it possible to leave the numbers if the car is deregistered

According to clause 63 of Order No. 605, the license plate number of the car, as well as the certificate of its registration, must be scrapped during the vehicle write-off procedure. In this case, it does not matter whether you actually handed over STS and / or state signs - their effectiveness will be canceled. It is impossible to write off the car and at the same time keep the state signs.

But this can be done in advance by a separate operation: "Amendments to the data of the RU - replacement of state signs." At the same time, the car will be given a new state sign and a new STS. The State Traffic Safety Inspectorate will accept the old license plates for storage until they are requested, in accordance with clause 42 of Order No. 399.

Before saving state signs, it is recommended to update them, having received newly made duplicates, since plates are accepted for storage that are in perfect condition and fully comply with GOST. Even slight deformation, rust, abrasion or oxidation can lead to a refusal to accept with a recommendation to apply for a re-release.

Attention! The storage period for license plates is calculated from the date of receipt of the preservation service and now it has been increased to 360 days instead of 180.

Is it possible to deregister a car without an owner, without numbers, DCT and other documents

Yes, you can. If the vehicle has a valid RU, then it can be disposed of without PTS, as well as without providing STS, DKP, state signs, and even without a written explanation with the reasons for their absence or loss.

However, it will not be possible to do without documents at all. For example, if you have lost your PrEP, present:

  • Passport (or a document replacing it).
  • Statement for the disposal of the vehicle.
  • Certificate about the actual disposal from the procurement organization.

When carrying out the withdrawal procedure without the owner (for example, for a deceased relative), all the necessary actions are carried out from a trusted person - you need to provide an appropriate power of attorney and a statement, a sample of which you can find below:

If the vehicle does not have a valid registration and there are no documents for it, then in this case, instead of disposal, it is easier to hand it over for scrap to private procurers or sell it for.

Is it possible to remove a sold car from the recycling register

Today, such a possibility is legally excluded - for this, since July 2017, amendments have been made to the main standards for the CU RU, according to which, before writing off the car to the traffic police, the owner must provide a certificate of its actual disposal from the procurement organization.

This Certificate itself was put into practice a long time ago - by Order No. 10 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation “On Approval of the Form and Requirements for the Certificate of Disposal of an Out of Service Vehicle” - dated January 14, 2010. But it has recently become mandatory for presentation.

Earlier, when it was allowed to hand over a car for scrap with only one civil passport and an application, this procedure was widely used by former owners for compulsory or punitive purposes for careless buyers who did not re-register the purchased transport and picked up fines in the name of the seller.

Today, this practice has been legally terminated and is only possible in the form of gray or black schemes, when the Recycling Certificate is obtained without actually putting the car into scrap.

Frequently asked Questions

In conclusion, I will answer a few frequently asked questions by drivers on the topic of removing the vehicle from the RU.

Is it possible to deregister a car if there are unpaid fines

Yes, you can. And this applies to all the described options for removing the vehicle from the RU. Traffic police officers cannot refuse you a service, even in case.

Can the traffic police demand payment of fines when the vehicle is removed from the register and during other registration actions? Yes, maybe this is practiced quite often - that is why the myth arose about the need to pay all debts before going to the traffic police.

If you are presented with such a requirement, then (when you do not have the opportunity to pay off the debt, or you dispute it, or simply do not want to pay) you can show legal awareness by referring to the following:

  1. Directions DOBBD Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 13 / 5-77 dated April 28, 2009 with the characteristic title "On the inadmissibility of the requirement to pay fines" is a circular specially issued for such cases.
  2. Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, informing the operator that at the moment the requirement to pay fines to the traffic police from the applicant is possible only in one case - only under the above article with a driver's license after them.

After such an educational program, you do not have to waste time on complaints and looking for the head of the unit - the service will be provided to you immediately. In the traffic police, as in other state departments, they do not like legally competent applicants and try to get rid of them, by way of the earliest possible satisfaction of their requests.

Attention! Even after the complete and actual disposal of the car, the fines "hanging" on its owner, written out according to the details of the decommissioned vehicle, will still have to be paid (if there is no reason to challenge them).

Attention! If any bans or restrictions are imposed on the vehicle due to non-payment of fines, then in this case the operator's refusal will be legitimate and the service can be obtained only after the debt has been paid off and the documents on the removal of sanctions from the car are submitted.

Are they deregistered for tinting

Judicial practice shows that removal from the RU for tinting is possible. For example, here is the decision of the district court of the Irkutsk region. The man filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the illegal removal of his car from the register. The court dismissed the claim and recognized the actions of the traffic police officer as legal.

The car is removed from the RU - is it possible to drive it under a sales and purchase agreement

Yes. Within 10 days after the execution of the sales contract.

Is it possible to remove a car from the register if it is under arrest

No you can not. According to clause 46 of Order No. 399, traffic police services related to RU are provided to the applicant only after the imposed prohibitions and / or restrictions are lifted, including if it is planned to deregister the car, and it appears in the traffic police databases as arrested under the provisions of Art ... 80 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation or on other grounds.

Before removing the car from the RU, the applicant must remove the arrest from the car, the ban on registration actions and other restrictions.

Attention! The provision of clause 46 of Order No. 399 does not apply to stolen cars - they can be removed from the RU even with a previously imposed arrest and / or other restrictions. But this only applies to the registration termination procedure, and re-registration and write-off remain unavailable until the reasons for the sanctions are eliminated.

Why deregister a car

The reasons for removal from the RU are as follows:

  • Vehicle theft - cancellation of registration will protect against fraudulent activities and relieve the owner of legal responsibility for the car.
  • Disposal - if you do not remove the RU, the owner will be charged transport tax.
  • Taking the car abroad - the vehicle must be registered at the new place of registration.
  • After the sale - if the new owner did not re-register the car within 10 days, then it is better to remove the car from the RC. Otherwise, fines and taxes will go to the previous car owner.

How to remove a decommissioned or retired car so as not to pay tax

Transport tax (TN) is regulated by Ch. 28 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, where clause 1 of Art. 358 states that vehicles and other vehicles are taxed on TN, which are on an effective RU. That is, as long as the car has an effective control unit in the traffic police for your details, then the TN will be charged and sent to the addressee's corresponding details.

It is possible to get rid of the TN when using the procedure for removing the vehicle from the RU in the following cases:

  • Re-registration Vehicle in the name of another owner.
  • Termination RU TS on the details of the former owner unilaterally.
  • Write-off Vehicle upon the relevant application of the vehicle owner.

In addition, according to paragraph 7 of Art. 358 of the Tax Code, wanted vehicles on the current RU are exempted from TN, if the taxpayer has a corresponding confirmation of the ATS on the fact of the crime. But such an exemption is given only for the current period from the moment of theft, and not for the tax arrears that were previously available.

Sometimes information from the traffic police for some reason does not reach the IFTS, or for some reason the tax office itself does not apply the updated data received to the tax accounting (OU) of the car. It so happens that a motorist suddenly receives a notice of tax arrears for a long-sold or scrapped car.

Therefore, in addition to the indicated registration actions, in order to exclude the sometimes occurring delays through the notification channels from the traffic police to the IFTS, it is worth personally visiting the required office at the tax office and presenting the originals of the relevant documents.

Here is a step-by-step algorithm for removing a vehicle from tax accounting in "manual mode":

  1. Visit a tax office at the place of the RU of your vehicle.
  2. If you don't have any documents, then first they will find you (according to the state number) and give you an OU TS card (the so-called certificate received).
  3. If you have a certificate of vehicle withdrawal with RU, then you can not receive OU card, although it also does not hurt.
  4. Next, you need to take an electronic queue ticket, wait for the indication of your number on the information board, go to the indicated window and submit documents to the operator.
  5. The employee will check the information and make changes to the database OU data. Here, if you have a tax debt, you will be given a notification and a receipt for its payment, which can be done there through the terminal.

Attention! In some offices of the tax service, you can find information signs stating that in order to remove the vehicle from OU, you must provide a notification from the IFTS. If you don't have one, then it's okay - the absence of this document will not affect the success of the procedure.

It is also worth knowing that when selling a vehicle to intermediary legal entities, where, according to the contract, the seller undertakes not to remove the sold car from the RU according to his details for a certain period, the TN will come to his name. Therefore, this moment should be separately settled with an intermediary and the terms of compensation should be specified in the contract.

Attention! According to paragraph 3 of Art. 362 Tax Code, if the service for removing the vehicle from the RU is received before the 15th day, then the taxpayer is exempt from paying TP for the current month, and if after the 15th day, then the TN is charged as for the full tax month. Keep this in mind.

How much does it cost to deregister a car

Payment of state fees for various registration actions with the vehicle is regulated by Art. 333.33 (p. 36 - 46) of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, most of the RD, one way or another related to the removal of the vehicle from the RU, are not subject to duty.

For convenience, I will give a table showing the cases when, when removing the vehicle from the RU, payment of the state duty is necessary, and when not, and I will indicate the cost of the procedure:

Let's sum up

In conclusion, I enclose a summary list of theses on the key aspects of the topic considered:

  • The traffic police provides for several procedures related to the removal of the vehicle from the RU depending on the goal pursued by the applicant, the main of which are re-registration, termination of registration and write-off (disposal).
  • When changing the owner TS applies re-registration.
  • In case of theft and loss (impossibility of exploitation or obscurity of location) termination of RU is applied.
  • When writing off removal from the reactor plant is applied in connection with disposal.
  • Removal from RU is divided into three categories - registration, final, reversible.
  • Actions on RU are regulated in accordance with two main standards: Orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 605 and No. 399.
  • Motor transport is removed from the RU in the traffic police, and the MFC and the State Services portal can simplify the procedure.
  • You can remove the vehicle from the RC regardless of the place residence, stay or registration.
  • When re-registering removal of the vehicle from the RU is removed from the applicant's obligations and is under the control of the operator
  • Termination of RU removes risk the seller has problems, including significant ones.
  • Recycling allows you to remove information about RU TS from the active traffic police databases to the archive.
  • With partial disposal the release of numbered units must be carried out in a separate preliminary procedure.
  • The traffic police have no right to refuse in the RD for the removal of the vehicle from the RU due to the existing fines, if at the same time the car is not seized or restrictions for late payment.
  • Arrested car it is possible to deregister (terminate the RU) only if it is stolen.
  • To avoid paying transport tax, you need to carry out the procedure for removing the vehicle from the switchgear according to any described option. At the same time, for the stolen cars, TN stops being charged on an effective reactor plant.
  • The state fee does not need to be paid for the termination of the reactor plant (for all options) and for write-off (except for partial disposal).

Changing the owner when selling a car requires the new car owner to register a car in the traffic police database within 10 days, however, for certain reasons, not all buyers are in a hurry to register the car for themselves. To avoid the accrual of fines, taxes, and also to relieve himself of responsibility before the law for all actions performed by the new owner of the car, the seller can remove the car from the register on his own.

Since the new owner has already taken the car keys and documents for the vehicle, the former owner cannot present the car for verifying the state registration numbers, as well as the main components and assemblies. However, due to the new registration rules, the issue can be resolved without a car.

Reasons for failure to register a car on time

There may be several reasons for not rushing to re-register the car according to the traffic police database:

  • the new owner is physically unable to carry out the procedure due to illness or forced long absence;
  • unwillingness to pay fines for offenses during the period of ownership after the sale and purchase;
  • no need for further operation of the car in the near future and a desire to save on transport tax charged to the car owner;
  • other unforeseen reasons, as well as simple irresponsibility of the buyer.

At the same time, the former owner is not interested in having the cars listed on him in the traffic police database, because all fines, taxes, claims regarding the operation of the transport will continue to come to his name.

The simplified process of registering a car after the sale and purchase transaction and automatic deregistration from the former owner allows you to perform two actions simultaneously. However, improved rules have led to an increase in the number of problems for the old owners. The problem is resolved quite quickly if you know the features of the new procedure and your rights.

Where to go

Thanks to the introduction of a unified information base, operating in all traffic police departments across the territory of the Russian Federation, it is no longer necessary to perform registration actions in the same department where the car was registered. The simplified registration and deregistration process allows you to do this in the nearest, most convenient branch.

If the new owner did not re-register the car within the time allotted by law, for the sake of his own safety, the former owner must take steps to remove the car from the register.

Even if the seller is located in another city, another region of Russia, deregistration can be performed without any territorial reference, upon application. However, the procedure has its own subtleties that must be observed in order for the procedure to be successful.

Description of steps to deregister

Upon learning that the car is still registered with him, the former owner begins to worry, because officially the vehicle is still considered his property.

Before proceeding with active actions in the traffic police, it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation:

  1. Negotiations with the person who bought the car. When concluding a sale and purchase transaction, the new and old owners exchange phones for prompt communication in case of any problems. On the eve of contacting the traffic police, it is necessary to contact the buyer and find out his plans for the car and the reasons for not performing the procedure within the established 10-day period. Perhaps the car is already at registration or the owner made an appointment at the department in the coming days, and the procedure for removing the car from the register will significantly complicate the process of registering it for a new owner. If it was not possible to contact the buyer or there were no intelligible answers, it is necessary to urgently proceed to the following actions.
  2. Make an appointment at the nearest department of the State traffic inspectorate through the website of the State Service, by calling the hotline, with a personal visit to the department.

The former owner may try to resolve the issue of registration in court, presenting as a justification the concluded agreement on the sale of the vehicle. However, if the contract is also absent (damaged, lost), the deregistration of the machine, the documents for which are no longer available, is possible only in case of its further disposal.

Further steps are similar to actions for complete disposal, which does not require the provision of the car for inspection and reconciliation of numbers. With the only condition - a mandatory indication in the application that the documents for the car are lost. A similar application is accepted for consideration without the requirement to provide registration papers for the vehicle.

The steps for processing disposal in this case are as follows:

  1. The application is submitted to the employee considering the applications of citizens.
  2. The inspector makes changes in the database and issues a certificate of transfer of the machine for recycling.
  3. This certificate is presented to the tax office to stop calculating the transport tax.
  4. The former owner disclaims all legal responsibility for the sold, but unregistered vehicle. And the new owner, if he tries to use the car for movement, will face big troubles - the transfer of the vehicle to the parking lot and major troubles if he intends to re-register the car for himself.

This procedure is, rather, an exception to the rules, because in the future, false disposal will still surface during the proceedings. In addition, such an event will significantly complicate the life of the new owner. Therefore, this scheme of actions can be applied solely for your own safety and after all attempts to get in touch with the buyer have been unsuccessful.

It would be much less of a problem for both drivers if they performed the registration steps together. In this case, neither the previous owner nor the new one will have any fears of any undesirable consequences in the future.

Security measures when making purchase and sale transactions

Despite the fact that the former owner is now freed from the need to remove the car from the register, his personal interest in carrying out the registration procedure together with the buyer remains.

Having spent an extra hour on going through the simultaneous procedure of withdrawal and registration, the former car owner will be calm - the transaction and the re-registration of documents have been completed in accordance with the law.

In the future, you will not need to look for a new owner, demand him to pay fines, taxes, investigate the facts of violations in which the car he sold was involved. The buyer will not have any difficulties with checking the car for the presence / absence of a ban on registration actions or the presence of debts for fines from the previous owner. This scheme of actions when buying and selling cars is optimal and beneficial to both parties to the transaction.
