Sooner or later, all drivers have to collect documents for inspection. This event spoils the mood for many and causes a huge amount of trouble. Indeed, many technical inspections with improper care of the vehicle simply can not be passed. In this case, you may lose the opportunity to "drive." And for drivers this is not the best news. What documents are needed for inspection? How often is it held in Russia? And why prepare yourself and your vehicle?
Inspection is ...
What process are we going to deal with? The whole problem is that novice drivers are far from always up to date with the upcoming event. What is a vehicle inspection?
In fact, this is a kind of test. It inspects all the components of your car for compliance with requirements and regulations. It also checks the performance and general condition of the vehicle. The purpose of this test is the admission of cars to traffic on the streets of cities within the country and beyond.
In general, there is no danger or something incomprehensible in the process. It is enough to prepare documents for passing inspection as well as the vehicle itself "tidy up." To be able to manage it.
Frequency
Before collecting all the necessary papers, one more thing needs to be clarified, namely, how often will you have to deal with this issue? How often do technical inspections take place?
It all depends on your vehicle. For example, cars, buses, trucks and other vehicles that are designed to carry passengers are checked every six months, that is, every 6 months.
Cars and trucks (up to 3.5 tons) must be checked every 3 years, but on condition that these are new cars. Otherwise, when the year of release of the vehicle exceeds 7 years, each year you will have to collect documents for inspection, go through this process and get permission. Trucks (over 3.5 tons) are also checked every 12 months.
Special vehicles (mainly business vehicles) are subject to suitability checks, too. And there are no features here. Technical inspection will have to take place once a year, as in most cases. Thus, getting confused is very difficult. Remember: more often than once every 12 months, an inspection is required. Nothing difficult, right? Unless to collect and provide documents for inspection. What is required here?
Process cost
First you need to pay for the passage of the relevant inspection. Remember, this process is not free. Despite the fact that you are required to provide documents for inspection, you will need to pay. And not the fact that your car will pass the test.
How much is required for technical inspection? It all depends on what kind of car you have. The average inspection fee is 1,000 rubles. This amount still varies from year to year. Therefore, before going through you will have to find out how much to pay for inspecting the car.
For example, the process for a passenger car for transporting passengers will cost 720 rubles. Buses for the same purpose (up to 5 tons) - 1 290, over 5 - 1,560, trucks (for transportation of goods, not more than 3.5 tons) - 770, and motorcycles - only 240 rubles.Only after paying the fee in the appropriate amounts and with a payment document, you can think what documents for inspection should be prepared.
Passport
Of course, a citizen’s identity card is required, and the specific one is a Russian passport. In fact, any other identification card will do, just problems with a technical inspection because of this will be more than enough.
Copies of the pages of the document do not need to be provided. Absolutely, as well as generally make photocopies of any papers that are useful in the process of checking the vehicle. As soon as you have a passport and a payment, demonstrating the payment of the state fee, you can worry about other “accessories”. There are actually not so many of them.
Registration certificate
For example, the mandatory documents for inspection require a certificate of registration of transport, as well as TCP. Without this, they won’t even talk to you, because this item is a kind of confirmation of transport belonging to one or another citizen.
What to do when the car is not driven by the owner? What documents will be required for an inspection? Everything is extremely simple here: it is enough to get a general power of attorney from the owner in your name and provide it along with all the other papers.
In this case, it is advisable to have copies of the passport of the owner of the transport so that there are no unnecessary questions. In Russia, the practice of problems with proxy inspections is observed quite often. Therefore, of course, it is better if the owner himself will deal with this issue.
Certificate
Documents for inspection almost ended. Do not forget to bring a driver's license with you for this event. It should already be mandatory with the driver. Without it, driving is simply forbidden.
In principle, that’s all. No more documents are required from the driver. You can go to check the vehicle. Please note that after passing the process you will be given a special card. It is called diagnostic. This document will reflect the suitability of the vehicle in the streets of the country.
Practice
What happens in Russia in practice? In fact, collecting documents for inspection is not a problem. The main point is that the car is suitable for use. All its components must necessarily meet the requirements. In fact, this rarely happens.
Documents for vehicle inspection are able to collect every driver. Moreover, if you properly care for transport, no problems will arise. But, as practice shows, most often the results of the check are "bought", that is, they pass by illegally, for a bribe or some kind of reward. They try to stop such tricks, but not always succeed. Therefore, under certain circumstances, you can not pass the technical inspection of the vehicle, even if all the requirements are met until you secretly pay for this service. Such cases of extortion should be reported immediately and recorded.
That's all. Now it’s clear what documents are needed for technical inspection of the car. If you think about it, their complete list is always with the driver. So, no problems should arise. Unless you have to pay the fee in advance in the established amounts.
