Buying a car for someone is a necessity, others acquire vehicles for the sake of interest, and still others simply replenish their collection. However, sooner or later, but inevitably, the time for parting with his iron horse is coming. Depending on the circumstances, for a motorist this can be a joyful or sad moment.

And in order not to lose one’s head and at the same time comply with the law, such a procedure as terminating the registration of a car is provided. And then the question immediately arises: "How to restore the registration of the car after the termination of registration?". The necessary information is presented below.

Often, confusion arises between the termination of registration and deregistration of a vehicle for many people. Therefore, we will try to unravel this legislative tangle and put everything in its place.

Definition of a concept

What is the termination procedure? It is worth noting that it appeared relatively recently and is aimed at protecting the interests of owners of movable property. In particular, she entered into her legal rights since 2011, as an addition to the already existing other procedure for removing a car from the register.

Over the next two years, those traffic police regulations that addressed vehicle registration issues were updated. As a result, it made it easier for car owners to solve many transport issues, including the termination of car registration, and slightly differentiated between two closely related concepts.

So, by termination of registration should be understood those actions of the owner of the car, which imply the termination of the right to use it for a while. In this case, all available information is sent to the archive.

Little confusion

Now we come to the disclosure of another almost similar term - deregistration. By this definition, it is understood that the vehicle is completely deregistered by the traffic police. That is, in fact, a car ceases to exist as a means of transportation approved for driving on public roads in Russia. As for all the information, it is recorded in the archive, and the traffic police is removed from the operational summary.

In other words, the termination of registration of the car after the sale (as a rule) is temporary, therefore it is also called suspension. And all the information regarding the car is not deleted from the traffic police database, but is marked as temporary, pending further decisions. While deregistration is already the final procedure.

The need for a procedure

Issues related to the re-registration of a vehicle must be dealt with by its future owner. That is, he needs to visit the nearest traffic police office, provide a passport for the purchased car in order to overwrite all the data of the past owner with his own information. A period of not more than 10 days is allotted for this.

But, as practice shows, not every newly-made owner is in a hurry to provide documents to the nearest traffic police department to stop registering a car. And the main reason is employment or lack of conscience. The deal, perhaps, will please the seller with an increase in a certain amount. However, part of this money may be spent on unreasonable expenses: transport tax and future fines. In addition, before selling a car, you must first remove it from the register.However, since 2013, the procedure has been simplified, and now the seller may not participate in the re-registration process.

That is, the main reason is a deal to sell a car, but there is no way to reissue it to a new owner in a timely manner. Other reasons may include:

• Vehicle theft.
• Accident, the result of which had a deplorable effect on the technical condition of the transport and it is already impossible to operate. In this case, you do not have to pay transport tax.
• The suspension has expired.
• Termination of all obligations under a lease agreement.
• The car is being prepared for recycling.

Some people are afraid of the procedure for terminating the registration of a car, because, in their opinion, it can lead to serious consequences, and sometimes even dangerous ones. In fact, everything is not as scary as it might seem, which, in fact, will be discussed later.

Are there any consequences?

In fact, there is no negativity at all. Only any buyer agrees:

• change the state license plate;
• to pay a fine.

Here it’s worth clarifying the situation a bit. When registration is terminated by the traffic police, the state number and vehicle registration certificate are transferred to the wanted list. A slight hitch can occur if traffic police officers who just bought a car stop the traffic police and check the database, then they have the right to withdraw the license plate number and registration certificate (if it was passed by the seller). Fortunately, you can drive a car until the end of the day, and your passport, insurance and contract will remain in your hands, as well as the act of withdrawal.

As for the fine, it is appointed after 10 days from the date of sale of the car. Such an extreme measure can be avoided if there is a good reason.

Now it’s worth touching on the negative consequences that will arise if you completely ignore the termination of registration of the car. However, one should not immediately panic, as they will arise only if the established rules of procedure are not followed.

Buyer precaution

There are some points that everyone should know about. Some newly minted owners of movable property delay the re-registration of the car themselves. Meanwhile, this is a serious violation of the Rules (Order No. 605), which entails an administrative penalty. The procedure and scope are carried out in accordance with applicable law.

What are the reasons for tightening? These are, as a rule, different cases and some of them are respectful, while others are not very:

• the buyer is busy with his important business;
• lack of knowledge of the whole procedure;
• negligence in relation to legislation;
• health problems.

In addition, some buyers specifically ignore the temporary suspension of car registration in order to avoid taxes by the so-called unlawful way, to avoid paying penalties and to give up other liability. This does not characterize them on the positive side.

Often these are representatives of the low-income class. As a rule, this is what students who do not have the available funds do, but there is a great “need” for a car. However, do not forget that there are lovers of gambling, as well as those who are satisfied with this "sports" entertainment. In some cases, re-registration is deliberately delayed for 70 or 80 days, which seems to allow you to annul the penalties for the statute of limitations.

Caution to sellers

Not only can buyers have serious consequences, sellers should also be careful. Some former car owners are also in no hurry to visit MREO in order to terminate the registration of the car in connection with the sale.

As a result, a twofold situation may arise:

1. the seller did not interrupt the registration of the car;
2. the buyer did not register the vehicle with the traffic police.

In turn, this leads to a number of particularly unpleasant moments:

• After the transaction, you will need to pay fines.
• The need to pay transport tax remains.
• Cases when the sold car is used for criminal purposes are not excluded. As a result, there will be a long conversation with the investigating authorities regarding the reason for the sale of vehicles.

As you can understand, any of these negative points will not please anyone. Therefore, the traffic police once again remind you to go through the procedure for terminating the registration of vehicles after 10 days.

List of required documents

As in the case of an appeal to state bodies to resolve any issue, some documents will also be required for the procedure for terminating the registration of a car with the traffic police. The required list will consist of:

• standard form statements;
• identity cards;
• car registration certificate;
• vehicle passports;
• license plate.

Sometimes the car owner cannot, for any reason, complete the procedure on his own and entrusts the case to the intermediary. In this case, the list of documents is supplemented by a power of attorney.

In some cases, sellers have to deal with registration issues on their own. Since not all buyers responsibly approach the conclusion of a transaction. The new owner is not in a hurry to visit the traffic police and the previous owner is in an extremely difficult situation. On the one hand, the car is no longer available, on the other - a certificate of registration and a car passport from the buyer. In this case, the application to terminate the registration of the car is supported by the contract of sale.

Features of the disposal of vehicles

Since July 10 of the current year, the procedure for terminating disposed vehicles in Russia has undergone some changes. In order to deregister the vehicle, it is necessary to present a certificate of disposal.

Now the whole order looks something like this:

1. an old car is already being delivered to a recycling point;
2. license plates are removed;
3. documents are provided - a car passport, if necessary, a power of attorney;
4. the employees of the recycling center draw up and issue the necessary certificate confirming the fact of the destruction of the car.

The received document must be shown to an employee of some traffic police department who puts a mark, after which a certificate of deregistration is issued. At the same time you need to have:

• license plate number;
• vehicle passport or power of attorney.

As you can see, the whole procedure is not complicated, in addition, it is possible to restore the registration of the car after the termination of registration in a similar way, which could not be done before.

But there is one unpleasant moment - the risk of getting caught by an unscrupulous utilizer. There are organizations in which the capacity of the equipment is actually far from the real indicators. Since in fact such firms are a nominal legal entity with a license of dubious origin.

After contacting such a company, the car is usually sent for auto-analysis or directly to the secondary market. However, everything is not so bad, and work is already underway to address the issue of exercising control over the recycling process. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce risks for owners of used cars, organizations themselves and the state.

Possible refusal to terminate registration

The state body has the right to refuse to terminate the registration of the car after the sale. There are various reasons for this:

• An incorrectly executed statement that still contains errors or typos.
• If the applicant provides an incomplete package of documents.
• There is a ban on a specific car.

The procedure provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation is mainly aimed at ensuring the protection of the rights of the owner of movable property.But at the same time, it is envisaged that he will be held liable in the commission of any criminal offenses with a fair sentence.

Registration restoration

In addition to the suspension of vehicle registration, there is a need to restore the registration of the car.

The first step is to eliminate the reason for the termination of the registration of the car. How to restore it in this case? To do this, follow these steps:

• return of the stolen car;
• recovery after damage;
• re-registration to another owner;
• extension of a lease agreement;
• renewal of registration of a foreign citizen in Russia.

In addition, each item should be accompanied by appropriate documentation. If this was an acquisition of a vehicle, then such will be the contract of sale.

Help Portal

Since the Internet in our time is very developed and almost everyone has a computer at home, you can use the help of the State Services portal. It’s worth immediately clarifying that the resource makes it easier to go through the suspension of accounting, but they will not completely replace it with the online mode. That is, you still have to visit the MREO branch.

Using the portal, you can select the nearest location of the traffic police department with the possibility of choosing a convenient reception time to stop registering the car. "State services" allow you to fill out and send an application online. If any difficulties arise, the operator will be able to provide assistance, giving advice on how to resolve the problem.

Finally

From all this we can draw the only correct conclusion. Even though the suspension of registration rests entirely with the buyer, the seller should also not let things go by themselves. After 10 days from the date of the transaction, the former owner can (or better just need) to visit the MREO traffic police in order to verify who is listed as the owner of the car. If the result is positive, you can easily breathe. Otherwise, when the seller is still the owner, measures must be taken.
