Many drivers wonder if there is a penalty for not registering a vehicle. After all, when buying a car, you must follow the rules for its registration. Otherwise, the driver will not be able to legally drive. And this is provided that he has a valid driver's license. What can be said about this? What features of car registration in the traffic police do you need to pay attention to first of all? And is there anything to be afraid of if the driver decides to postpone registration?
Is punishment a reality or a fairy tale?
After buying any car, you have to face a number of tasks facing the driver. Each vehicle on the territory of the Russian Federation requires mandatory registration of the car in the traffic police.
Otherwise, the citizen will either have to give up driving or suffer a certain punishment. Most often it is expressed in cash payments. The penalty for non-registration with the traffic police in 2017 increased compared to previous years.
Registration Dates
Fortunately, after buying a car, the buyer will have some time allotted for registration with the traffic police. So, you don’t need to immediately run to the authorized body and realize the task. You can postpone this operation for a short while.
The deadline for registering a car is 10 days. The countdown starts from the moment of conclusion of the contract of sale and transfer of the vehicle for use by the new owner.
Fines
And what will happen if you don’t meet the deadlines? Penalty for non-registration. Its size directly depends on who the citizen is. So, for example, individuals will need to pay less for violation than legal entities. This is quite normal.
In 2013, the penalty for non-registration of a car was 100 rubles. But now everything has changed. As already mentioned, in 2017 the driver will have to pay a lot more.
Ordinary citizens pay from 1,500 to 2,000 rubles, officials from 2,000 to 3,500 rubles, and organizations from 5 to 10 thousand rubles. It is such a penalty for non-registration with the traffic police that takes place in 2017.
Additional punishment
But that is not all! The following punishment threatens only those drivers who decide to drive an unregistered vehicle in the traffic police. It is also usually expressed in cash payments.
The fine will be from 500 to 800 rubles. He relies on the management of cars that have not passed state registration in the traffic police.
What to do if the driver was caught with a similar violation is not the first time? Prepare for tougher anti-fraud measures. Namely:
- a fine of up to 5,000 rubles;
- deprivation of a driver’s license for a period of 1 to 3 months.
Accordingly, it is better not to delay the registration of the vehicle. And do not operate the machine until its registration.
Delay in used cars
But that is not all. The size of the fine for not registering a car is already known to us. It can not be called too high. Nevertheless, this payment can cause a lot of trouble.
What else can result in untimely registration with the traffic police? For example, when buying a car with it?
Firstly, the fines that the new owner of the car will receive will come in the name of the seller of the car. The latter can go to court to invalidate payments, as well as demand their collection from a new driver.
Secondly, the seller of the car is able to demand cancellation of registration and termination of the contract of sale. Nevertheless, such a situation takes place only when more than 10 days have passed since the conclusion of the agreement.
The situations listed are not too dangerous. Usually they are not so difficult to handle. It is enough to pay a penalty for non-registration, pay off all debts and register the car with the traffic police.
A far more dangerous punishment for a new owner of a used car is getting a thief status. The seller of the vehicle can apply to the traffic police with a statement about the theft of the car or theft. And then the situation will become more dangerous for the new owner.
Service cost
What is the penalty for not registering a motorcycle in Russia in 2017? It all depends on who the vehicle owner is. The exact size of the payments in one case or another were presented to our attention earlier.
Some people wonder how much you need to pay for registering the car in the traffic police. After all, as you know, this is far from a free procedure.
Today the operation costs 2,000 rubles. But if necessary, the driver will have to incur additional costs. For example, for the manufacture of new rooms. It is better to specify more accurate information directly in the traffic police.
Where to go?
The penalty for non-registration of a car for ordinary citizens is up to 2,000 rubles. This is quite normal. As a rule, they cannot demand more from the driver.
Where is the registration of vehicles? The GAI is engaged in it. You will have to contact the organization located at the place of registration of the owner of the car.
About statement
Below is a sample application in the traffic police to register a vehicle. Creating such a document is not difficult. It must be filled directly by the new owner of the car.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the application of the established form is based on the passport data both on the identity card of the buyer and on the TCP. When filling out an application, only data on the new owner of the machine is indicated.
About Documents
And what documents are required to register a car with the traffic police? There are a lot of them, but getting the necessary paper is not so difficult.
Most often, to implement the task you need to bring:
- passport;
- Title to the car;
- certificate of registration of the machine;
- contract of sale;
- state numbers (if available);
- CTP insurance policy;
- statement.
This list of documents is required. A sample statement in the traffic police was presented to our attention earlier. It is clear how it is composed. But sometimes the proposed package of papers has to be supplemented.
Additional references
Fortunately, these are not the most common cases. In addition to the documents listed above, sometimes you need to attach temporary numbers to the machine. This is possible if a new vehicle is registered. Temporary numbers are issued directly at the dealership. Without them, turning an idea into reality will not work.
What other documents can be useful for registering a car in the traffic police? For example:
- Passport of a foreign citizen - if a foreigner's car is registered.
- Documents for any replaced parts and assemblies - if appropriate replacement has been made.
- Safety certificate - when changing the design of the machine.
- Gift certificates, certificates of acceptance of inheritance, court decisions and other title documents.
In fact, everything is not so difficult. Registration of a vehicle takes a minimum of effort and time. Even a novice driver can cope with this task. There is no significant difference between registering a new and a used car.
Summary
How long is a car registration deadline? After a citizen has filed a corresponding application with the traffic police, he will have to pass a car check.And only then it will be possible to consider that the car is registered in the prescribed manner. In general, it takes about 1 day.
It is clear what will be the size of the penalty for non-registration of cars in the traffic police. This violation can be prevented. In addition, it is administrative in nature and is not too dangerous for the driver and others. But this does not mean that timely registration with the traffic police can be neglected. As we have already said, if you drive an unregistered car on the territory of the Russian Federation, you can not only run into a fine, but also lose your driver’s license for the time being. Also, a citizen will be forced to register.
In any case, from now on, registration in the traffic police and punishment for its absence will no longer cause any trouble. Everyone will be able to bring the task to life.
