What is PTS 63?


What does 63 PTS mean for a car?

PTS 63 – means the region (Samara region) of the technical passport. Often, buyers purchase a car in another city or region.

When buying a car, you need to pay great attention to the title. There must be free space in this document , since when the owner changes, another owner must be entered.

To obtain the document, you must complete a transaction to purchase a car. When transferring the car to the new owner, this form will be given by the old owner. If the PTS is not suitable for further use, then it must be replaced at the registration authorities.

How does the replacement take place?

  1. The citizen draws up an application;
  2. Officials review the submitted papers;
  3. A decision is made.

PTS is one of the main documents that confirms the owner’s ownership. It indicates VIN numbers and other technical characteristics. When purchasing a vehicle, you need to register the car with the state.

What must be in the PTS?

  • Series and number;
  • Information about the car and the owner;
  • Information about the organization that carried out the registration procedure;
  • Organ seal, signature;
  • Date of issue of the document.

What does 63 PTS mean?

A vehicle passport is a document that contains information about the technical characteristics of the vehicle. It confirms ownership of the property. The PTS indicates the series number, which is not formed by chance. The first two digits are the code of the region where the car is registered with the traffic police. If the number starts with the numbers 6 and 3, this means that the car is registered in the Samara region.

Without a registration certificate, it is impossible to insure a car, deregister it with the traffic police, or sell it. If a car is purchased by a person who lives in another region, appropriate changes are made to the title.


If there is no free space on the form, you need to get a new document.

To change the region of vehicle registration, contact any branch of the State Traffic Inspectorate. To reissue a technical passport you will need:

  • statement on behalf of the owner;
  • OSAGO policy;
  • check for payment of state duty;
  • internal passport of the Russian Federation;
  • contract of sale;
  • registration certificate;
  • power of attorney (if the re-issuance of documents is not carried out by the owner of the car, but by an authorized person).

If personal data changes, the vehicle registration certificate must be changed.

Change region

A car owner may need to make changes to the PTS if his personal data changes. A change of region refers to the reason why the form needs to be replaced.

It is not necessary to change the registration certificate when changing the region in all cases. A PTS is issued if the owner of the car plans to sell it soon. The document must contain a free field for writing. If there is a sufficient number of fields , then there is no need to change the PTS. The State Traffic Inspectorate inspector restricts the entry of a change of region into the PTS. In a special field you need to make a record of changes in address data.

Where to change?

You can change your region at any branch of the State Traffic Inspectorate. It is worth considering that there are only ten days to issue a new passport.

Many people wonder whether it is necessary to change registration if the purchase took place in one region?

Of course, you need to change the registration, but if a citizen wants to leave the country, you need to deregister the car . When changing the region, the PTS is replaced. If there is no space left upon purchase, you need to get a new document.

In order to make a change, you need to contact the traffic police with your passport, STS, PTS, OSAGO and an application.

  • Statement on behalf of the owner;

The application must be completed on a standard form. It can be downloaded in the public domain. The statement states that the reason for the replacement is a change in information about the owner.

You must present a document confirming the change in personal data. To change data in the PTS, you need to pay a state fee. Its cost is 350 rubles . Also, if the owner’s personal data changes, it is necessary to replace the car registration certificate.

On what cars are there 63 PTS?

By the first two digits of the passport number they will know where exactly the car was assembled. And also, whether the PTS is an original or a duplicate (in case it is not possible to view it).

There are more than 20 automobile manufacturing plants in Russia. The products they produce have different serial numbers, by which the creator is recognized. Some of them:

  • VAZ – 63, Togliatti (Samara region);
  • GAZ - 53, located in Nizhny Novgorod;
  • UAZ – 73, Ulyanovsk region;
  • Avtotor - 39, Kaliningrad (assembled BMW, Chevrolet, Hummer, Kia).

For example, Japanese or South Korean cars imported through customs in the Primorsky Territory have “25” at the beginning of the passport number.


Accordingly, if the passport is an original, then the number “63” is on the document of cars produced by VAZ.

Protection of PTS from counterfeiting

Since the passport is the main document of the car, it is checked no less carefully than the appearance or technical component of the car.

List of elements that should be carefully studied:

  1. Passport form. The original paper has several degrees of protection, like money, since it is produced at the same Goznak (watermarks, microtext, etc.). Upon closer examination through the gap on the front side, you can see an iridescent hologram in the shape of a circle or strip.
  2. On the other side of the passport in the upper corner there is another sign in the form of a “rose”. When the angle changes, its color changes from green to gray. The rose is palpable because it has volumetric embossing.
  3. The paper must be of high quality, not “washed out”, with clearly written text. Traffic police officers do not use laser printers when filling out documents.
  4. Contents of PTS. Particular attention to the series and number. It should be determined whether the passport is an original or a duplicate. When re-issuing a document, the state traffic inspector does not always mark it as “duplicate”. In another PTS it is written “issued instead” or “vdnvmst”. In this case, the passport number helps. Or rather, its first numbers. VAZ has a Samara region of 63, a car assembled in Kaliningrad has 39, etc.

In general, counterfeiting PTS is an extremely complex process from a technological point of view. Accordingly, either it will be an outright “crap” on a color copy with a hologram glued on top, or a very high-quality fake, which even the inspector will not always be able to distinguish. Therefore, it is very important to have the tools to detect fakes.

What is the difference from the usual?

PTS

If the car was purchased in another region, it is not necessary to go through the registration procedure there . The law gives ten days to register.

DVA makes it possible to register a car in another region. To do this, just contact the MREO and pay the fee.

For issuing a new PTS you must pay 800 rubles, for making changes - 350 rubles.

It is necessary to change the region in the PTS, as problems may arise during re-sale. The information in the databases will not match. No body other than the traffic police can make changes to the PTS.

Where and how to pay

Citizens and organizations purchasing a car at a car dealership do not face such a problem. The car manufacturer has already paid the fee for them. You just need to make sure that there is a seal in the PTS. It’s more difficult with buyers of used cars. In the case where there is a note in the PTS, everything is in order, the fee was paid by one of the previous owners. And if not?

If the car was released before September 1, 2012, payment is also not required. When the vehicle is younger and there is no stamp, the new owner makes the deductions.

He needs to contact either customs if he is importing a car from abroad, or the Federal Tax Service at his place of registration in other cases.

The amount of the recycling fee, such as taxes or state duties, is paid through a bank or electronic services. To do this, just contact the nearest branch of any bank, use your personal account on your bank’s website, or make a payment through payment terminals.

Man at an ATM

When filling out a receipt at a bank manually, you must indicate the following budget classification code (BCC) – 18211208000012000120 (for cars). The receipt must be filled out without errors.

Is it necessary to change the region in the PTS when buying a car?

If the car was purchased in another region, you must go through the registration procedure in your city. After applying, the purchased car will be removed from the previous place of registration .

After transferring funds, the seller must transfer all documents to the buyer:

  1. PTS;
  2. The buyer must have one purchase and sale agreement;
  3. Registration certificate;
  4. Inspection card;
  5. Service book.

For what reasons are changes made to the PTS?

  • The owner has changed;
  • The personal characteristics of the owner have changed;
  • The car data has changed (body color, engine, etc.).

If the owner changes, it is necessary to issue a title to the new owner. There are only ten days for this. The owner will receive a new document, and changes will be made to the previous one.

What does the mark in the PTS mean?

A special mark in the PTS serves as evidence that the fee has been paid.

Where is it located in the PTS and who installs it?

Mark on the recycling fee in the PTS

The corresponding stamp is placed in the “Special notes” field (on the left on the first page of the PTS).

If transport passes through customs, the mark is made by its employee, authorized by virtue of his official duties. At the same time, it must be certified by his personal seal with a number.

If the equipment is produced in Russia, then its manufacturers submit documents for it to their tax office, and the seal is affixed to the Federal Tax Service.

The buyer also puts a stamp at the tax office at his location if the scrap tax for the vehicle he purchased was not previously paid.

The largest manufacturers of wheeled vehicles (as well as trailers) put a stamp on payment in the PTS themselves.

The traffic police also has the right to put this mark if it is necessary to issue a duplicate PTS. Thus, only the following persons can make a mark:

  • customs official;
  • inspection by the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration of the manufacturer or buyer of the car;
  • largest Russian automaker;
  • Traffic police (only when issuing a duplicate).

If the vehicle title was issued before September 1, 2012, no stamp is required.

Methods for identifying fake PTS

You can determine whether a passport is fake or not in various ways: from improvised means to professional tools.

Let's briefly consider all available methods.

Research of PTS using improvised means

Even if there are no special equipment at hand, and the car owner is not an expert, you can still examine the main document of the vehicle. To do this you just need:

  • magnifying glass or magnifying glass (gain – from 10);
  • small flashlight.

It is important to check the entire form for state marks. The paper forms a single whole with them. No element should be glued.

Take a closer look at the hologram through a magnifying glass. One tiny inscription is not visible to the naked eye. And through a magnifier you can see that on the windshield of the car in the center of the watermark there is the inscription “Russia. Russia".

When the passport is tilted at an angle of 30º, the flashlight illuminates the inscription “PTS” in the upper left corner (above the hologram).

In the unfolded PTS, the stars and the watermark in English letters “RUS” are visible. There should be no blurring observed during candling.

On the inner fold there is a strip of barely readable inscription “vehicle passport”. It is extremely difficult to fake.

If at least one element is not detected, then the PTS is a fake.

Study of PTS using special tools

You can also conduct a professional examination yourself. To do this you will need one of the following tools:

  • special ultraviolet flashlight;
  • pocket microscope;
  • detector with infrared CMOS camera.

Let's briefly consider each method.

Pocket microscope

This is a household appliance, compact and relatively inexpensive. Used to study small details. Increases in size up to 100 times.

With its help, not only the elements listed above are examined, but also additional ones:

  • clarity of the edges of the hologram;
  • passport number for blurriness under the numbers (if there are any, they are clearly visible under the red-golden original paint);
  • texture pattern (it should be clear even at 100x magnification).

Through a microscope you can see security fibers in the form of multi-colored threads embedded in the body of the paper.

Ultraviolet flashlight

Very convenient if it is not possible to illuminate the PTS with a regular flashlight. For example, poor lighting, dark places. Ultraviolet will correct the situation and reveal all existing flaws.

UV radiation clearly illuminates chaotically located protective fibers of three colors across the entire field of the document.

A similar method will be good when checking banknotes.

Infrared detector

The most powerful of the listed devices. But also the most expensive. In the infrared range, even the smallest fragments can be distinguished. If you shine a detector on the car in the upper right corner, it will disappear.

The functional purpose is not limited to checking PTS. The tool has many different features and options.

Expert opinion Mironova Anna Sergeevna Lawyer and lawyer in automobile law. Specializes in administrative and civil law, insurance. So, even with only the series and PTS number, you can recognize whether it is a duplicate or an original. A duplicate in itself is not illegal. It’s just easier to fake the second copy, therefore, it needs to be checked more carefully. When buying a car, already at the stage of selecting an option in car services, you should pay attention to the numbers on the passport. If this is a VAZ brand car, then the manufacturer is Tolyatti with region 63. Previous Registration Amount and procedure for paying the recycling fee
