Is it possible and how to restore the registration of a scrapped car?
To get rid of your old vehicle and receive a certificate for a discount when purchasing a new one, you must do the following:
- Apply to the dealer who has the promotion. You can find out information about this on its official website. Most often, it is car dealerships that deal with such issues.
- If the dealer does not handle recycling, you will have to look for another or do everything yourself. To do this, you must present the vehicle to the recycling center along with documents. An inspection will be carried out and a certificate will be issued based on the results.
- With the certificate, the citizen goes to a car dealership and chooses a new car.
- During the purchase and sale transaction, the cost of transport is paid taking into account the discount.
Only certain car models can be recycled: VAZ, GAZ, Opel, Nissan, Skoda, Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Ford. If the brand is not on the list, you will not be able to use the certificate, but you can inquire about the availability of alternative options at car dealerships.
Participation includes cars and trucks that can be recycled and in return receive a certificate for a discount when purchasing a similar type of equipment.
The program first began operating in the Russian Federation in 2010, but was canceled in 2014. Subsequently, it was renewed 2 years later until the end of 2021, but then it was extended until the end of 2021. However, it is worth considering a significant nuance: if the money allocated from the budget is spent before the end of 2021, the issuance of certificates will automatically be stopped.
The budget includes about 10 billion rubles, so there is still a chance to scrap the vehicle by the end of 2021. If citizens do not have time to take advantage of the promotion, you can ask dealers for similar services: for example, trade-in, etc.
How to return a car from recycling if its owner cannot be found?
If you own a scrapped car, but you can’t find its owner to re-register it yourself, then you have one option.
Write a telegram or letter to the traffic police (you can write a statement during a personal visit) about searching for the owner of the car. Provide the information that will help the inspectors find the owner - title and engine numbers, registration numbers, etc.
Using the information specified in the application, they will find the previous owner, with whom you can meet in person to re-register the vehicle. If even state authorities cannot find the owner, then you should file a statement of claim in court, which will outline the essence of the case and a request to recognize you as the new owner of the car.
If the former owner does not show up within 6 months, then you will be allowed to re-register the car in your name, having first returned it from scrap and restored the registration.

Is it possible to restore a car after recycling?
The essence of the state “action” is not only to rid the regions of junk cars, but also to protect the environment. That is why the cars participating in it are delivered to separate points and disposed of using special equipment.
This practice exists in many countries, but, for example, in Europe it is paid, so EU citizens prefer to sell vehicles abroad at a reduced price. In Russia, you can recycle your car for free, and in return you will receive a nice bonus in the form of a discount on a new car.
To avoid delays and receive a certificate without problems, it is recommended to pay attention to several points:
- The easiest way is to entrust the procedure to a car dealer. This will allow you to receive the coupon as quickly as possible;
- it is important to pay attention to the VIN number indicated on the engine: if it does not match the number in the STS, the car will not be accepted;
- if the car is old, but there is consumer demand for it, it will be more profitable to sell it yourself and invest the proceeds in purchasing a new car.
Many people are interested in whether it is possible to remove a car from scrap and what is needed for this. In order for the procedure for restoring a previously scrapped car to be carried out, the vehicle owner must have the following documents in his hands:
- A statement written by the official owner of the car.
- A receipt confirming payment of the state fee for the issuance of state registration plates in the amount of 2,000 rubles.
- Applicant's passport.
- Vehicle technical passport.
- MTPL insurance policy issued after passing a technical inspection.
- Certificate of registration (if available).
You can restore a scrapped car by contacting the traffic police department where the vehicle was deregistered. Contacting other departments of the automobile inspection will not bring results, and the government agency’s refusal to carry out the procedure will be impossible to challenge in court.
What is car registration
Before you understand exactly how to renew the registration of a vehicle, you need to find out what exactly is hidden under the concept of registering a car.
In accordance with the norms of Russian legislation, it is the registration of a vehicle that gives its owner the right to drive on public roads. The procedure for registering vehicles and deregistering them is carried out by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate in strict compliance with regulations, the rules of which are identical throughout the Russian Federation.
In general, vehicle registration is carried out to satisfy the following needs:
- State registration of cars as individual vehicles that have the right to travel on roads intended for public use.
- Supervision of technical and structural compliance of vehicles with standards established to ensure safety while driving vehicles.
- Possibility of prompt and ongoing response to various criminal acts and offenses in which registered vehicles are involved.
Recycling Law as amended 2021: instructions for recycling
If the owner of a scrapped vehicle is unknown, nothing can be done with it. Abandoned cars are not uncommon on city streets, but it is impossible to arbitrarily pick them up and restore documents through the traffic police. If a car with a previously canceled registration was unofficially sold or gifted to another person, it will also not be possible to put it on a new state registration without the owner.
According to current legislation, only the owner of the vehicle has the right to register a scrapped vehicle with the traffic police department. Therefore, when purchasing a scrapped car, you should agree with the previous owner of the vehicle to jointly visit the State Traffic Inspectorate office or sign a notarized general power of attorney for the right to restore the registration.
Previously, the recycling process was triggered by the submission of an application from the owner of the car, and the traffic police authorities deregistered the car, while canceling the state registration plates. According to the letter of the Main Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia No. 13/5-229 dated October 18, 2011 and the new Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605 dated August 7, 2013, termination of vehicle registration due to disposal is possible only if there is a document confirming the fact of destruction.
The obvious reason to start the recycling procedure is the extreme physical wear and tear of the car. It doesn’t matter whether it occurs due to age, high mileage or a serious accident. But there are also more unusual reasons.
You can recycle a car that is not currently parked in front of your house. For example, if it was stolen and you are already desperate to find it. Or the one that you sold in good faith, and the new owner decided in bad faith not to re-register, which is why all the “chain letters” about fines and unpaid transport tax come in your name.
However, in any of these cases, physical actions are preceded by a formal, legal rejection of the car.
Regardless of the reasons for disposal, you must first submit an application to the traffic police to deregister the car, and also attach an explanatory note to it, which should set out the reasons for the upcoming disposal.
In case of theft, you must add your remaining documents for the car to these two papers. If they were not preserved, but were stolen along with the car, be sure to record this fact in the explanatory note. When the disposal process is initiated due to the careless next owner, a copy of the sales agreement must be attached to the application. Of course, they don’t require you to present your car to the traffic police for inspection.
The procedure is more complicated if you do not want to dispose of the entire car, but plan to keep some of its units - for example, to sell them separately. In this case, you need all the documents for the car (PTS, STS) and its “numbers”. The removed units will also have to be submitted to the traffic police for inspection; their list must be included both in the application for deregistration and in the explanatory note about the reasons for disposal. For each part that has its own identification number, you can request a certificate of the released unit, which will make its subsequent sale legal.
In the case of an engine, be sure to obtain a certificate. Even though from 2021 the procedure for registering a car with a non-original engine has been simplified (the certificate-invoice for a new engine similar to the one being replaced has been cancelled), its potential owner will need registration papers for a used unit. For each certificate you will have to pay 200 rubles in state duty. Deregistration of a car is a free service.
It is possible to carry out a legal rejection of a car even if the owner does not have original documents confirming the fact of ownership of the car. For example, the car was stolen along with all the papers. However, information about the registration of the car indicating the owner is in the traffic police databases, which means its disposal should not be a problem. You will also have to provide your passport, write a statement and an explanatory note, in which you will indicate the circumstances of the loss of documents for the car.
Remember that you do not have the right to drive a deregistered vehicle. He must travel on public roads using a tow truck - and it does not matter whether he is able to drive himself or not. The car will have to be sent on its final journey to the recycling center in the same way. Tow truck services are paid by the car owner. After the car is accepted at the recycling point, the former owner will be given a corresponding certificate.
In Russia there are public and private car recycling centers. Both must have the appropriate license to work with waste. For the owner of the destroyed car, the only difference between them is financial: a state-owned point will do everything for free, and a private one has the right to demand payment for this service. Usually this amount does not exceed 10,000 rubles.
There is also the notorious disposal fee, and in some - admittedly quite rare - cases the owner will have to pay it. Cars manufactured before 2012 are exempt from the fee, and most newer cars already have a mark on their title indicating payment of the recycling fee - it is paid by automakers. But if for some reason there is no stamp in the documents, then you will have to pay, and a lot. For passenger cars, the basic tax rate is 20,000 rubles, and depending on the engine size, it is multiplied by different coefficients, which only grow from year to year.
Until the end of 2021, Russia had a state recycling program that stimulated demand for new cars and fleet renewal by scrapping old, unsafe and environmentally unfriendly cars. Introduced as a temporary anti-crisis measure, it has existed for almost ten years, and its conditions have remained virtually unchanged.
According to this program, those wishing to recycle an old car could receive a discount on the purchase of a new Russian-made car. To do this, they had to contact dealerships of automakers participating in the program. There are some restrictions: the car being handed over must be older than 10 years, the last owner must have owned it for at least six months, the car must be scrapped complete (with engine, gearbox, battery, etc.).
The procedure was as follows: first, the owner enters into an agreement with an authorized dealership to purchase a new car under the state program, then either independently undergoes legal rejection and sends the old car to a recycling point, or entrusts this matter to the dealer. And only then does he apply for a discount and complete the process of buying a new car. The discount for a surrendered car depended on many conditions, but for passenger cars its amount was no less than 40,000 rubles.
According to the vehicle registration rules, this is only possible if the car has just been deregistered for disposal, but has not yet been physically destroyed. From the documents you will again need a civil passport, PTS, OSAGO and confirmation of payment of the state fee for registration actions. The application is written in free form, but it must indicate all the details of the car, including body and engine numbers. Remember that the car itself will again have to be presented to the traffic police for an expert inspection before registration.
What is the procedure for restoring registration with the traffic police?
To restore the registration of a vehicle that was previously canceled at the request of the owner in connection with disposal, it is necessary to re-go through the standard procedure for registering the vehicle with the traffic police. To do this, the car owner must provide the following documents:
1. Application of the established form addressed to the Head of the registration division of the State Traffic Inspectorate.
2. Identity card (Passport).
3. PTS (vehicle passport).
4. Vehicle registration certificate (if available).
5. MTPL policy (issued only after passing technical inspection).
6. Receipt of payment of the state duty for registration actions and registration license plates (2,000 thousand rubles).
Including for registration actions with a scrapped car, it is necessary to provide the car for inspection by a traffic police officer to verify the body license plate and engine number.
We remind you, dear friends, that you can submit an application for registration actions with the traffic police using the Public Services portal.
Disposal of an old car under the state program in 2021
It is possible to restore the registration of a car after disposal as long as the object of restoration exists. That is, the vehicle was not physically destroyed; the units on which identification numbers can be read were preserved: chassis, engine, and others.
Previously, according to Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated 08/07/2013 N 605, the owner of a vehicle (car, motorcycle, etc.) that had to be disposed of, first deregistered it with the traffic police, then took it to a landfill. Moreover, several years could pass between the termination of state registration and scrapping.
To restore the license plate of a car that has been scrapped and return it to registration, you will need:
- an application filled out by hand or on a computer from the owner in 1 copy (the form is in the appendix to Order No. 950, on the traffic police website, legal resources);
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or military ID, for foreigners - another identity document;
- driver's license;
- papers on the basis of which the right of ownership arose: gift agreement, deed of agreement, certificate of inheritance, etc.;
- certificate of deregistration;
- receipts from the bank on which duties were paid;
- PTS and vehicle (if preserved).
You can submit documents to restore the license plate for a non-recycled car in person or electronically. Personal application procedure:
- Collect the necessary papers and fill out the application.
- Come to the traffic police department, take a ticket from the terminal and submit the papers.
- Provide the vehicle for standard inspection.
A subtle point: if the car data is saved in the road service database, then the status can be changed through any inspection department. If not (the information exists only in paper form), then accounting can only be restored in the department that made the write-off.
Order No. 950 clearly defines the time frame within which a car is written off or restored without registration:
- when applying in person, the application must be registered within 5 minutes;
- when applying through State Services, the application is registered during the working day following the day the papers are sent.
Inspectors must register the vehicle within an hour from the moment of personal contact or from the time appointed for the visit (when submitting an application through the website).
The first method, and the simplest, is to purchase a car at the same dealership where the vehicle being scrapped is delivered. But you can get a certificate and go to another official car seller.
It is important to know! To participate in the program, you must first deregister your vehicle for recycling.
The procedure is as follows:
- After the buyer has decided on the purchase, he needs to discuss the terms of the transaction and draw up a purchase and sale agreement;
- Provide the documents necessary for recycling the car: the owner’s original passport, a certificate of deregistration of the car with the traffic police, and others;
- Arrange for the transfer of the vehicle for recycling, as a result of which receive a certificate;
- A vehicle scrappage certificate (certificate) is handed over to the car dealer from whom a new vehicle is purchased, the missing amount is paid or a loan is issued for it.
Other documents that need to be prepared before disposing of a car include its registration certificate (CRC) and its passport (PTS).
Below is a list of makes and models of cars that can be recycled under this program, with the amount of compensation (information current as of the end of 2021).
Information on accepted models changes every month, manufacturers are constantly changing the terms of the promotion, so we recommend that you check the information provided on the official website or by calling the manufacturers.
Before you hand over your car for recycling, you need to take into account that the whole process will have to be brought to a logical and legal conclusion. Before using the certificate for purchase, you need to take it to the traffic police so that information about the car being submitted for recycling will be entered into the database.
If you ignore this requirement, your vehicle taxes will continue to accrue. And if the certificate is used, you will have to go to court so that the vehicle is recognized as scrapped and the demands for payment of taxes are illegal.

Other ways to deregister a car
The second popular reason for canceling vehicle registration is an appeal from the former owner of the vehicle. In this case, the temporary suspension of registration is carried out due to the fact that the new owner of the car does not fulfill his obligation to register the vehicle within 10 days. In order not to pay taxes and fines, as well as to notify the traffic police of a change of owner, the former car owner can contact the department and write an application to deregister the vehicle.
And the last reason is the initiative of the car owner, who in this way wants to avoid paying transport tax. However, in this case, good reasons are required to deregister the car (repair of the car after a traffic accident, disposal of the car, seasonal use of the vehicle).
How to restore a car if it's junk
As already mentioned, until June 2021, car owners had the opportunity to deregister a car due to disposal, without providing a document confirming its recycling. And often after deregistration it continued to stand in the garage. It was impossible to drive it, but it was possible to restore state registration by contacting the traffic police and writing a corresponding statement. But since this was abused in order to avoid paying transport tax, the measures were tightened.
From June 2021, it is no longer possible to restore the registration of a vehicle after disposal at the request of its owner. According to Art. 19 of the new Law “On State Registration of Vehicles...” No. 283-FZ dated 06/03/18 (as amended on 07/30/19), which came into force on 01/01/20, restoration of state registration of vehicles is possible only by decision of the court or a higher registration official divisions in case the withdrawal was illegal or unjustified.
License plates cannot be returned, as they are surrendered when deregistered due to disposal. PTS and STS are also available for rent. The car's passport and registration certificate were then issued in a cut state, but license plates were not. So, if you have to restore your car after scrapping and manage to do this, get ready to receive new license plates.
If the previous owner of the car does not get in touch, submit a statement to the traffic police that you have found the car. No matter how strange it may sound, this is exactly the way you will get help from law enforcement officers. If they are also powerless, then after six months of unsuccessful searches, you have the right to file a lawsuit in which you request to assign you ownership of such an unusual “find.”
First of all, it should be noted that when recycling a car, it is not always physically destroyed. Nowadays, the recycling process most often begins precisely in connection with the need to deregister a vehicle.
This way you can avoid paying tax. But the car is not actually scrapped.
Is it possible to officially restore a car after disposal, given that it is physically preserved? Here it is important to have a good understanding of the legislation, as well as to know the chronology of legal acts. Let's take a closer look at them.
According to current legislation, only the owner of the vehicle has the right to register a scrapped vehicle with the traffic police department. Therefore, when purchasing a scrapped car, you should agree with the previous owner of the vehicle to jointly visit the State Traffic Inspectorate office or sign a notarized general power of attorney for the right to restore the registration.
Previously, the recycling process was triggered by the submission of an application from the owner of the car, and the traffic police authorities deregistered the car, while canceling the state registration plates. According to the letter of the Main Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia No. 13/5-229 dated October 18, 2011 and the new Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605 dated August 7, 2013, termination of vehicle registration due to disposal is possible only if there is a document confirming the fact of destruction.
Often, a citizen has at his disposal a scrapped car in accordance with a purchase and sale agreement, donation or other reasons, deregistered by the traffic police. To restore it to the register, the presence of the real owner of the vehicle, entered in the vehicle passport, is necessary.
To restore the registration of a car, it is possible to provide the traffic police with a notarized power of attorney with the right to restore the registration (registration) of the vehicle. If such a document is not available and the location of the owner is unknown, then it will not be possible to restore and register a written-off car.
There have been 2 important changes in the legislation on vehicle registration and our discussion question, which have completely updated the answer to the main question.
- In mid-2021, Order No. 605 on the provision of the relevant public service was changed, as a result, a disposal certificate is now required. Thus, if before the changes a car, motorcycle or other type of vehicle could be disposed of after the fact: first deregistered by the traffic police and then destroyed, then according to the new law, the car must first be scrapped, having received a certificate of disposal, and only on the basis This document will deregister her. And according to the law, such a scrapped car cannot be restored for the simple reason that, in fact, something other than recycled metal has already been made from it.
- At the end of 2021, Order No. 399 on the procedure for registering cars came into force, which in a new way prescribes the procedure for restoring and registering such cars. And it is he who gives the answer to the question of whether it is possible to restore the documents of a car after disposal along with its license plates, including without the owner.
Yes. Can. As we indicated above, the new Order No. 399 makes it possible to restore the registration of a car if it was deregistered on the basis of disposal, but in fact remained intact and functioning.
We are talking about paragraph 18 of the new law, which says the following:
18. Registration of a vehicle after its termination is carried out:
- .
- in relation to a vehicle that has not actually been disposed of, the registration of which has been terminated due to disposal, on the basis of confirmation of credentials at the place of last registration of the vehicle (if there is information about a previously issued PTS, electronic passport);
Why was this clause introduced after the changes, if it is assumed that the car was actually thrown into scrap metal?! And then, the legislators have provided for the subtlety that a car owner may want to register a car that was removed before the mandatory scrappage certificate came into force.
That is, the car could have been deregistered as junk, but is actually stored in a garage. And so the traffic police decided that such vehicles have the right to a future life on the roads of Russia.
As can be seen from the quote from the Order, this can be done using the data about the car stored in the traffic police database - in the archive. At the same time, there are 2 options for such an archive: paper and electronic. From the latter, a car can be removed for a variety of reasons, but from the first – paper – documents cannot disappear anywhere for many years.
What does all of this mean? A means 2 possible options for where to address our question:
- restore the scrapped car in any registration department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, if data about it is saved in the electronic database,
- re-register such a car with the traffic police only in the department where it was deregistered, if the documents remain only in paper form. Since the credentials specified in the quotation of legislation can only be confirmed there.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to reliably find out in advance whether the data on your vehicle remains in electronic form. You can check the vehicle on the official website of the traffic police by entering its VIN number in the registration history check service.
- if the result shows information about the disposal of the car, then this data is in electronic form (and pulled up by the site from the electronic database),
- if it gives information about the impossibility of performing a search using the specified VIN number, then it means that the car is not in the database, there are only documents for it.
But this data is also unreliable, since the site often makes mistakes anyway. Therefore, it is better to immediately contact the MREO of the State Traffic Inspectorate where the car was submitted for scrap.
Who can register a car
In accordance with the requirements of the Traffic Rules, a vehicle can be registered by a person who has the rights to this vehicle established by law or relevant documents. Such persons include:
- Citizens of the Russian Federation and residents.
- Citizens and residents of foreign countries.
- Individuals who do not have citizenship.
In addition, Russian legislation provides for the possibility of temporarily registering a car (if the car has permanent registration in another state). In such a situation, the period of temporary import of a car does not exceed six months.
How to recycle a car and why it is needed
Without the owner included in the PTS, it will not be possible to restore the accounting. But it is not always possible to find the previous owner of the car. If your search does not produce results and you do not have a general power of attorney, you should refer to the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. It is he who determines the procedure for restoration after disposal without the owner.
There are two options to solve this problem:
- Search for the owner. Write an application to submit to the traffic police, on the basis of which the search for the previous owner will be carried out. The new owner needs to send a telegram to the owner's last address. It must indicate that you found the car. It is important to use this wording. After all these actions, law enforcement officers are obliged to facilitate registration.
- If no one responded to the telegram after a long time, or the search for the owner with the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned out to be fruitless. Then the initiator has the right to apply to the courts with a statement. The application must express a request to be recognized as the owner.
The State Traffic Inspectorate has been investigating this case for at least six months. If the search is unsuccessful, the judge has the right to recognize the applicant as the new owner.
Carefully weigh the pros and cons of purchasing a salvage vehicle. Recovering documents can be difficult and can take a long time. If you decide to buy such a car, arm yourself with patience and time. Following the above algorithm, go to restore the documents of the scrapped vehicle.
Yes. Can. As we indicated above, the new Order No. 399 makes it possible to restore the registration of a car if it was deregistered on the basis of disposal, but in fact remained intact and functioning.
We are talking about paragraph 18 of the new law, which says the following:
18. Registration of a vehicle after its termination is carried out:
- …
- in relation to a vehicle that has not actually been disposed of, the registration of which has been terminated due to disposal, on the basis of confirmation of credentials at the place of last registration of the vehicle (if there is information about a previously issued PTS, electronic passport);
Why was this clause introduced after the changes, if it is assumed that the car was actually thrown into scrap metal?! And then, the legislators have provided for the subtlety that a car owner may want to register a car that was removed before the mandatory scrappage certificate came into force.
That is, the car could have been deregistered as junk, but is actually stored in a garage. And so the traffic police decided that such vehicles have the right to a future life on the roads of Russia.
If you have lost your MTPL insurance, it’s okay. Choose a time to come to any office of the insurance company where you were issued compulsory motor liability insurance. Show your passport and papers for the car. If the paperwork for the car is lost, you are still in the insurance company's database.
If you have to renew your MTPL insurance along with your PTS, then ask the specialist not to write the series and number of the lost document in the paragraph, because the traffic police will refuse to take such insurance. Let the column be empty, then write in when there are new papers.
There can also be 2 possible results - a banally successful registration of a car or a refusal.
The latter happens for a variety of reasons, often illegal. Therefore, you need to prepare (as a last resort) to go to court. The fact is that when contacting the traffic police on complex issues, which include the restoration of a scrapped car, very often employees, instead of trying to solve it, prefer not to waste their nerves and not take unnecessary risks, but to refuse restoration, and, moreover, avoiding in writing by all means such a refusal.
But with a positive decision of the court, the traffic police will already be required to register the scrapped vehicle, since they are obligated to do so by the same Order at the same point.
What procedures may require restoring a car's registration?
In accordance with Russian legislation, the owner of a vehicle can contact the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate to deregister his vehicle. There may be several reasons for making such a decision. Despite the fact that deregistration of a car is carried out only by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, this procedure can be initiated by the car owner himself, as well as other authorized persons (courts, prosecutor's office).
But if the car can be deregistered, then it can be restored. According to Russian legislation, restoring a vehicle’s registration is an inalienable right of an individual and legal entity, but only if certain conditions are met.
That is, contrary to existing opinion, restoring a car’s registration is not a permissive measure of a government body, but a human right that he can use when such a need arises.
Car recycling program in 2021 as a way to purchase a new car
As we have already said, if you are denied the restoration of a car for recycling, then you need to know the reasons for such a refusal:
- if the reason is related to any documents, their absence, or the car has not passed inspection, then this is a separate topic for clarification,
- if you were told that it is impossible to restore a scrapped car for some other reason, then you need to receive a written reasoned refusal - the traffic police MREO must give it in response to the written application that you submitted at stage 3 according to the list above.
If they also refuse to provide written motivation, then they can and should be filmed. This will help when appealing the inspector's decision in court. Most often, at this stage, the employee leaves the procedure in force and accepts documents for reinstatement.
If they refuse in any case, all that remains is to sue. At this stage, there are no legislative prohibitions in 2021, if the refusal is indeed not motivated by anything or is motivated by an illegal transfer.
If you know where you were issued a maintenance receipt, then if you lose the document, you need to contact the technical maintenance department again and get a copy of the maintenance certificate. It will cost you 300 rubles – tax for the GTO ticket.
You will have to waste time, because you need to stand in lines to have your vehicle checked against license plates. The car will not be checked for technical cleanliness. If there is tinting on the front windows, it will have to be removed (see - fine for tinting).
Have documents with you:
- passport;
- driver license;
- medical record;
- MTPL insurance;
- a power of attorney, a copy of the technical inspection, is issued for the duration of the validity of the lost GTO coupon;
If you were not notified about receiving a coupon, then you will have to spend 690 rubles for diagnostic maintenance. In total it will cost you 990 rubles. The car will have to be taken to a technical inspection facility and re-inspected. If your car is in excellent condition, the coupon is issued for three years. If your car is older than 7 years - for 2 years, and if it is already 10 years old - for 1 year.
First of all, you should make a list of lost documents. Particular attention should be paid to the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation . If the car owner’s passport is also lost, then recovery should begin with it. This is due to the fact that an identity card will be required when applying to government agencies.
Let's move on directly to restoring auto documents.
Where to contact: The insurance company where the policy was purchased.
Required documents:
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
Issuing a duplicate of the MTPL policy does not cause problems. To do this, just contact the manager of your insurance company.
Cost: As a rule, a duplicate of MTPL is issued free of charge.
Note. If OSAGO was purchased electronically via the Internet, then it is enough to print out another copy of eOSAGO.
If a driver’s license, registration certificate or PTS was lost along with compulsory motor liability insurance, then you first need to restore all the listed documents and then enter information about them into the insurance policy. This can be done either at the insurance company’s office or in your personal account on the insurance company’s website.
Nuances
Before you initiate the process of restoring a salvaged car, you need to check whether all the necessary documents are available for this. The buyer needs this to verify that the seller has ownership rights to the car. Otherwise, the traffic police department will refuse to carry out the restoration procedure.
The buyer also needs to assess the general condition of the car before visiting the government agency, in particular, pay attention to both the appearance and whether the vehicle is “driving.” If the car does not function, they will refuse to restore the registration. When a long period of time has passed since the car was deregistered, it is quite difficult to find the owner. In this case, the buyer wonders whether it is possible to obtain documentation.
You can solve the issue this way: contact the last owner of the car, with whom you can draw up a purchase and sale agreement. If it was not possible to find such a person, then the new owner is given a six-month period to re-register. You need to go to court. If all established rules are observed, the new owner is issued documents for the car.
