What documents must the driver carry with him?
According to traffic rules, the driver carries with him and presents at the request of the inspector:
- driver's license. Fine for forgotten rights - 500 rubles;
- registration documents for the car - vehicle registration certificate (VRC). The fine for a forgotten STS is also 500 rubles;
- OSAGO policy. Failure to do so will result in a fine of 800 rubles.
PTS is not on this list.
Driving without a registration certificate and possible liability
The law allows you to drive a car without a title if you have completed the necessary registration steps, confirmed by the received vehicle registration certificate.
Are there any penalties for driving without a registration certificate?
You should not be afraid of a fine for driving without a title if the driver carries with him other documents indicating registration, technical inspection and the conclusion of an insurance contract.
PTS not received
Driving without the original main document is not prohibited, but in its absence the driver will not be able to register the car. When driving a new car without a title, it is not enough to carry the purchase and sale agreement with you, since the original registration certificate will be required to register the purchase with the traffic police.
Operation of an unregistered vehicle threatens the violator with a fine in the amount of five hundred to eight hundred rubles. If the violation is detected again, the amount of fines increases to five thousand rubles, and the driver’s license may be confiscated.
The PTS was received, but the driver lost it (forgot)
If you have received a vehicle passport, but there is an STS, it is enough to carry the registration documentation with you. But if during the check it turns out that the certificate was left at home, you will have to leave the car at the post in order to return and bring the papers. Otherwise, in addition to the sanctions indicated above, it is possible to transport the equipment to a impound lot with the corresponding consequences.
If the technical passport is lost, the driver must contact the traffic police to obtain a duplicate. The procedure will not take much time, but will avoid trouble. Without a registration certificate, the owner will not be able to conclude a car insurance contract. And this document should be carried in the car at all times. For the sale of a car and subsequent re-registration, this paper will also be required.
The fee for restoring a lost registration certificate is 1,300 rubles. The owner can apply for a duplicate by sending an electronic request through State Services. This will allow you to conveniently plan your personal schedule and take advantage of a thirty percent discount on the state tax.
In this situation, it will also be necessary to replace the registration certificate, which the driver must constantly carry while operating the car. The new PTS will have a different number and series, so an STS update is required. The state duty for this service is five hundred rubles.
New car
A new car is purchased from official distributors who issue and issue vehicle title. The fact of acquisition is confirmed by the purchase and sale agreement. You will need to carry it with you at all times, along with the original registration certificate, until the car is registered. It is prohibited to drive a copy of the PTS of a newly purchased car.
What if the driver is not included in the PTS
The law requires you to register a car 10 days after purchase. If the new owner does not do this, there may be consequences. Let's consider the main situations.
I was late with registration, but came to the traffic police. If the driver does not have time to register the purchased car, a fine of up to 2,000 rubles will be issued upon registration.
If you missed the deadline for a good reason, for example, illness or a business trip, provide documents - a certificate from a medical institution or work, tickets from a trip. If the inspector nevertheless issues a fine, it can be appealed. How to do this, read our article about appealing fines from cameras - the sequence of actions and the complaint form are the same.
I got behind the wheel without registering a vehicle license. If the driver did not manage to register the car in his name, he will have:
- contract of sale,
- PTS and STS from the previous owner.
If such a driver is stopped on the road by an inspector, he can check the data from the license with the data in the STS. If they do not match, the inspector will ask for a PTS, but there will be no data on the driver who is driving. For this, a fine is imposed - from 500 to 800 rubles.
I got behind the wheel again without registering a vehicle license. If the driver has not registered the car in his name, he will be fined 5,000 rubles or even deprived of his license for a period of one to three months.
Is it allowed to operate a car without a title?
The car enthusiast does not need to constantly carry a registration certificate.
It is not expected that a fine will be imposed for the absence of a vehicle title. But there are some nuances that are discussed below. If there is no title for the car, the owner will not be able to perform the following actions:
- registration with the State Traffic Inspectorate;
- sales or other transactions with property;
- conclude a car insurance contract.
If you have a registration certificate
Based on the technical passport, the traffic police service issues an STS, into which the main information about the vehicle is transferred. The motorist must carry this document with him at all times and present it to the inspector during inspection.
After issuing a registration certificate, you no longer need to carry a registration certificate in your car, since the main data is duplicated in the STS.
If the original is replaced by a photocopy
Often, in showrooms offering new automobile equipment, instead of the original, they issue a copy of the registration certificate. It must be remembered that driving with such a copy of the title is prohibited, since ownership of the property is confirmed by the original document.
The owner who presents a photocopy will not be able to register the car and purchase compulsory MTPL car insurance.
There is no point in carrying a photocopy - this is not an official document.
But with auto insurance
OSAGO car insurance is included in the mandatory set of papers that the driver must constantly carry. The policy confirms that the car is insured, but does not indicate the ownership of the car and the possibility of its operation.
You must carry insurance with you, but the main documents are a passport, vehicle registration certificate and purchase agreement if less than ten days have passed from the date of purchase.
By proxy
Purchasing a car without a complete re-registration and obtaining a general power of attorney is a constant practice that allows the new owner to save on paperwork. A power of attorney for a car for an individual is certified by a notary. If the car belongs to an organization, the authority of the authorized person is confirmed by the head of the company, without contacting a notary.
In addition to the power of attorney, the driver must always carry the rest of the documentation required by the rules. Driving by proxy without a PTS is allowed if you have a STS.
According to the purchase and sale agreement
The legislation provides for the need to re-register a car before the expiration of ten days from the date of change of ownership.
Before receiving a new STS, the owner confirms the ownership of the purchased vehicle with a transaction agreement, accompanied by a technical passport in the original.
If one of the specified documents is missing, in addition to possible penalties, the driver will face forced evacuation of the vehicle to a impound lot until the ownership of the car is confirmed. Therefore, you will have to carry the original contract with the PTS with you until registration for the new owner.
Remember
- The driver is required to carry his license and STS with him.
- There is no fine for a forgotten vehicle title. Only for a vehicle title for a trailer - up to 800 rubles.
- If the car seller is not included in the title, most likely he is a reseller.
- If you do not register the car and do not enter your name in the title within 10 days after purchase, you will be fined - from 500 rubles to imprisonment for three months, depending on the situation.
- It is impossible to check fines according to PTS. For verification, you need numbers: registration, driver's license and STS.

Additionally
To avoid driving without documents for a car, you will have to carefully study the current legislation of the Russian Federation. The previously listed list of papers is ideal for individuals. But there are exceptions.
Additionally, you must have with you:
- cargo documents - when transporting goods;
- license - for transporting people;
- instructions and rules for transporting the population;
- waybill - for trucks;
- transportation permits - when transporting dangerous and large cargo.
In addition, you will have to carry your personal tachograph card with you. These papers are attached to the main list of required documents. In real life, drivers working for transport companies take a responsible approach to preparing travel documents. Therefore, we will not consider punishments for them.
Presentation of PTS and DCT
A traffic police inspector can ask for a PTS check if the car is not yet registered. At this moment, the driver does not yet have an STS, and ownership can only be verified using the vehicle’s passport. The driver can act at his own discretion. He is not required by law to present his PTS. There are no penalties for failure to provide such a document even in the first days after purchasing a car.
The driver is also not required to show the inspector the purchase and sale agreement. It is necessary to confirm the ownership of the new owner when registering with the traffic police.
However, if you do not provide any evidence that the car belongs to you, the inspector may detain you along with the car to clarify the circumstances.
OSAGO insurance is issued under a PTS, is it necessary to carry a PTS with insurance?
Traffic police officers are currently not authorized to check the inspection ticket, and do not check. Therefore, from the point of view of inspection by traffic police officers, nothing.

Penalties for driving without a vehicle license
Drivers should not carry their vehicle with them at all times. However, they will have to pay a fine if the PTS is drawn up improperly by the manufacturer or only a photocopy of the document is issued. In such cases, it will be impossible to register the car with the traffic police, obtain a certificate and license plates. When driving such a vehicle on the road, the driver will be punished for committing the following violations:
- for driving an unregistered vehicle;
- for driving a vehicle without license plates;
- for the lack of documents required to be presented.
The fine for each of them will be from 500 to 800 rubles. And there is no fine for the absence of the PTS itself.
What happens if you drive without a PTS, forgotten or lost?
If the driver has lost his vehicle passport, he must immediately contact the local traffic police department where the car was registered with the state.
The application must indicate the reason why the driver does not have a passport for his car. Experts do not recommend writing “stolen” as the reason, since until the end of the criminal proceedings, the driver will not be issued a PTS.
After receiving the application, the traffic police officer inspects the car, receives a passport in which the o.
If the driver has not lost his passport, but does not have a vehicle license on purpose, this is not a violation of the law. The traffic rules do not require that a driver present his vehicle's passport to a police officer.
Is it possible to drive a car if there is no PTS, but there is STS
If the car does not have a title, but the owner has an STS (vehicle registration certificate), he can safely drive his vehicle without fear of any consequences.
Traffic police officers do not check PTS, since Russian law does not provide for the obligation to present such a document.
Is it possible to drive with a PTS, but without an STS? Driving without a vehicle registration certificate is not allowed. For this, the law requires a fine.
What will it be like to drive without a PTS?
Despite the fact that, according to the law, the lack of a driver’s license is not grounds for imposing a fine, using a vehicle without registration is an administrative violation.
- If, when checking a car, police officers find out that the car is not registered with the state, the driver will be held administratively liable. The amount of the fine is set individually in each individual case. The amount of the fine is in the range of 500-800 rubles. If traffic police officers detect a repeated violation of the law, the amount of the fine will be increased to 5,000 rubles. Alternatively, the driver may be disqualified from driving for up to 3 months.
- If, when checking a car, traffic police officers find out that the car is moving without license plates (even if they are unreadable or installed in the wrong place), the driver will be held administratively liable. The fine amount is 5,000 rubles. The driver may be deprived of his license for up to 3 months.
In addition to the obligation to pay a fine, the driver may also be forced to register his vehicle.
Expert opinion
If a car is imported into Russia from another country, it is supplied with a state customs declaration (GCD). When purchasing a car at a car dealership, a certified copy of the document is given to the buyer. It does not replace the PTS, since it is a pass to the territory of the Russian Federation and allows the vehicle to be legalized in the future. Based on the GTS, you cannot register a car with the traffic police and purchase a compulsory motor liability insurance policy.
How to ride a motorcycle or moped without documents
In accordance with Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001, vehicles with an engine capacity of more than 50 cm³ (4 kW if an electric motor is available) and a design speed of more than 50 km/h are subject to mandatory registration.
If a motorcycle or scooter falls under these restrictions, then the motor vehicle is not subject to registration, then ownership is confirmed by the title and the purchase and sale agreement.
In this situation, the presence of the specified documents when operating a motorcycle (scooter) is mandatory and for their absence, appropriate penalties may be imposed (Article 12.3).
If a motorcycle, due to its technical characteristics, is subject to mandatory registration, then instead of a PTS, a registration certificate is issued.
10 days are also allotted for registering a motorcycle (scooter), after which the owner is subject to administrative punishment under Articles 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.37.
