Alerts about traffic police fines today can be set up via SMS, email or online on official websites.
Novice drivers don’t often think about how unpleasant it is to find out at the wrong time that they have been fined. Few of them have any idea what a fine notice looks like and what to do with it. And this is an important question. If you suddenly missed this piece of paper and did not pay on time, then not only will you still have to pay, but also double the amount. Or even end up under arrest.
Typically, 60 days are allowed for payment. If the driver has not received notifications of traffic police fines on his phone and does not have time to pay within this period, this is a real violation of the law. You will have to pay double the amount (Article 20.25 of the Administrative Code). And some risk earning 15 days of arrest.
Both bailiffs and traffic police inspectors have the right to detain the defaulter. And after this, the driver is immediately sent to the traffic police department for investigation. Then he is given another receipt for payment or assigned corrective labor (up to 50 hours). Administrative arrest is resorted to if the driver turns out to be a willful defaulter, with debts of a large amount, or if he evades a previously imposed punishment.
The solution is simple - in the 21st century, it is very easy to connect an alert about traffic police fines via SMS and stay informed of all sanctions.
There is simply great news for violators. If you receive a prompt notification that sanctions have been imposed on you, you will have time to pay within 20 days. If you do this, you will only be charged half of the amount written out. It's worth setting up messages about penalties for traffic violations!
How to enable SMS notifications
The first method is simple: if you have already violated the rules, request a one-time notification of traffic police fines via SMS, they arrive as needed. This is done by sending a free SMS message to phone 7377, in it you should write: “fine77av123456”, where the alphanumeric code is the STS number. An alternative option is text, where instead of it is the driver's license number.
It is possible to receive SMS messages about traffic police fines free of charge on an ongoing basis.
You can subscribe to receive information that you have been fined without asking:
- by sending the same message with the STS number to phone 7377, as indicated above, but first adding the word “STS”;
- by writing the same message to the same recipient, but indicating the license number in it, and at the very beginning write “VU” instead of “STS”.
This service is free.
You can unsubscribe from the mailing list by sending a similar message to the same address, adding the word “Stop” in front of it. But if you consider how the traffic police notifies about fines, after unsubscribing, it makes sense to immediately find another way to find out information about penalties in a timely manner so as not to be late in payments.
How to receive SMS about fines on your phone
The video recording system for traffic offenses is actively developing. Motorists are increasingly beginning to wonder how to quickly receive notifications of sanctions imposed for non-compliance with traffic rules. If you do not pay the penalty on time, there will be consequences in the form of an increase in the amount of the administrative penalty. To avoid such developments, drivers can use specially developed services that allow them to receive notification of fines at any convenient time.
Do I need to check the information somewhere else?
The first way is to subscribe to notifications about traffic police fines on State Services. By clicking on the “Notifications” link in your personal account, you should link your mobile phone to your account on the site. And be sure to download the application to your phone and allow notifications to notify you, then they will be displayed automatically and duplicated by SMS messages.
To receive similar push notifications, you should download the official application “Fines of the State Road Safety Inspectorate” to your mobile phone. Before receiving fines on your phone, you will need to consent to notification in the application settings.
If it is more convenient for you to pay through the Sberbank.Online application, you can check information about penalties there. For this:
1. At the bottom of the main page of the application, find the “Payments” button.
2. In the menu that appears, select the “Transport” line.
3. A new list will appear on the screen, find the line about traffic police penalties in it, click on it.
4. Two lines will appear, select the one that says “Search”.
5. In the window that appears, enter the VU number and STS number, click the “Search” button at the bottom of the screen.
If these methods do not suit you, there are other options other than receiving notifications of traffic police fines by email, SMS or government services. The same can be easily done on the official website of Sberbank. In the same way, the presence of penalties is checked using the Yandex.Money service. It is not necessary to register there, but if you already have an account, this method may be the most convenient.
For Muscovites, everything is even simpler - the check is available on the Moscow Mayor’s website mos.ru.
At any convenient time, it is easy to check the presence of sanctions on the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate - traffic police.rf. On the main page, in the menu at the top of the page, select the “State Traffic Inspectorate” button, and in the drop-down menu, select the line with the check. You will need to enter your vehicle number or driver's license number.

After the scheduled process, the motorist will be informed about the traffic police fines via SMS to his phone, and will additionally be notified about the payment made, and about sending the cases to the bailiffs, if the payment is suddenly overdue.
System for receiving notifications of fines
Previously, the situation was like this: if you violated traffic rules, the traffic inspector drew up a report and received a fine. Today things are different. Due to the large number of cameras and video cameras on the highways, the driver may not even suspect when and where he broke the law. Fines recorded by cameras are sent by mail.
To avoid trouble, every driver must know the system that starts working when he commits an offense on the road:
- within three days from the time the violation of the rules was recorded, the State Traffic Inspectorate sends a letter;
- a photograph must be attached to the protocol, which confirms the fact of the violation;
- the letter is sent to the owner of the vehicle at his place of residence, and it makes absolutely no difference who was driving the car;
- letter of receipt - registered;
- the addressee must receive the notification within 7 days.
Sometimes, due to interruptions in the functioning of the post office, the driver receives a letter after 2-3 weeks. To avoid any claims from the traffic police later, save the envelope and receipt with the date of receipt of the notification. You have ten days to appeal the fine.
To avoid all this, you need to figure out how to connect an alert via SMS about a fine to your mobile phone.
How to pay
To make a payment using Yandex Money, you should use the following algorithm:
- download the application to your phone or open its web version;
- enter the driver's license number and vehicle registration certificate;
- select the required fine from the list that appears;
- click on it and press the “Pay” button.
It is worth noting that to pay you need to get an electronic wallet from Yandex and top it up. You can also link a bank card to your wallet for payment.
The system will request confirmation of the operation, which can be performed using a mobile phone. After payment, an SMS notification will be sent to your mobile number, and a stamped payment receipt will be sent to the previously specified email address.
Additionally, the service provides the ability to pay for a previously received decision. To do this you need:
- select the appropriate section;
- indicate the region in which the decision was made;
- enter data about the traffic police department specified in the resolution;
- indicate the number and date;
- Full name of the driver who received the fine;
- region;
- registration address;
- payment amount.
After this, the system will offer to pay off the debt using a wallet or linked card. It is worth noting that for carrying out such operations in Yandex there is a commission that is equal to 1% of the amount, but cannot be less than 30 rubles.
The Yandex Fines service is one of the innovations from the IT company, designed to make the life of modern motorists much easier.
Of course, the application can still be improved, however, at the moment it can significantly reduce the time required to check and pay fines from the traffic police.
Telephone notifications - benefits
Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone. For this reason, the government thought about how to tie a traffic police fine to a phone.
It was decided to use SMS for notification, and this option is becoming more common every day. This service allows you to find out the latest information about changes in traffic rules, as well as know about the offenses that were captured by cameras and the fines issued for this.
In order not to conflict with the laws, it is recommended to pay debts to the state on time. So let’s take a closer look at how to receive notification of traffic police fines via SMS.
