Cancellation of vehicle registration - what does it mean, what to do if the car registration is canceled

What is cancellation?

Russian legislation has established that every vehicle must undergo special registration.
Quite often, the need for this arises as a consequence of certain legal procedures that may entail the re-registration of property rights, for example, this may be a purchase and sale transaction.

Confirmation of the fact that the car was registered at the time is a registration certificate or technical passport. These documents enable the owner of the car to move freely across the expanses of the homeland, as well as beyond its borders.

A vehicle passport is a legal document that contains basic technical information. Based on it, traffic police officers identify the vehicle.

Along with the popularity of registration, we can note situations when registration is completely canceled . This process implies the fact that the previous registration procedure is invalid and canceled for various reasons.

Most often, the need for this arises after identification of violations with documents. In this case, the registration of the vehicle is canceled with an explanation from the Supreme Arbitration Court.

If traffic police officers suspect fraud with a car and it is later confirmed, the vehicle is driven to a impound lot, and its owner will need to undergo a certain number of checks.

Very often, illegal registration systems are used in the process of car customs clearance. This automatically results in the need to cancel.

Many of these considerations lead to the decision to purchase their cars from car dealerships. This is an ideal guarantee to avoid a variety of illegal schemes.

Differences between cancellation and suspension and termination of vehicle registration

The concept of cancellation should not be confused with suspension and termination of registration. Termination of registration of a car is possible not only on the initiative of the traffic police, but also by a voluntary decision of the car owner (clause 7). The application of the car owner will be accepted in the following cases:

If your car is lost or stolen.
When a car is alienated in favor of the previous owner (in case of violation of the vehicle registration process and there is an application from the previous owner).
Upon expiration of the 10-day period allocated by law for re-registration of a car to a new owner upon its sale.
Upon termination of the leasing agreement.
When disposing of a car (you can learn about deregistering a car for recycling here).
When it is exported outside the Russian Federation for permanent use abroad.

By a unilateral decision of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, registration is terminated if:

There is information about the death of the owner of the car or the termination of the activities of the legal entity to which the vehicle is registered.
The registration period for a vehicle registered for a limited period has expired.

Attention .
The previous edition of the Order (Order No. 1001 of November 24, 2008, as amended on 20/13/2015) provided for the concept of temporary suspension of vehicle registration. It was understood that after deregistration, the car can be returned to it in the following cases:

If a lost car is found after it has been stolen.
When the car goes into the use of the lessor at the end of the lease agreement.
If a car deregistered for export outside the Russian Federation is returned to its homeland.
When eliminating violations that led to the forced cancellation of the car’s registration (clause 13 of Order No. 1001).

In the new one from 2021, the concepts of restoration of registration, and with it its temporary termination, do not apply.

Customer expenses

What if a self-employed counterparty has lost the right to apply NAP? Is it possible to account for expenses based on the check issued by him?

Yes, you can, explains the Federal Tax Service.

The loss by an individual, including individual entrepreneurs, of the right to apply the NAP or the tax authority’s cancellation of his registration as a taxpayer of the NAP is not grounds for non-recognition of expenses incurred by the customer as expenses, provided that there is a receipt confirming payment for goods (work, services) and meeting the requirements.

It's certainly good that expenses can be accepted. But the trouble is that these costs will increase significantly due to the loss of the right to NAP by the performer.

If a self-employed person has lost the right to apply the NAP, from this date the legal entity or individual entrepreneur acting as customers is required to withhold personal income tax and pay insurance premiums in the amount of remuneration to such contractor.

Reasons for cancellation

If your car's registration is cancelled, it is important to know not only what to do, but also what the reasons are:

falsification of documents, errors;
selling a car to another country;
changed numbers on the body;
destruction of the car;
inability to obtain a duplicate vehicle passport if lost;
delivery in disassembled condition;
cancellation of registration by mistake;
the car was involved in an accident, however, the registration is not necessarily canceled, but suspended;
inaccuracies in data when passing through customs.

Deregistration at the initiative of the traffic police occurs if the owner had forged documents or changed the numbers on the body.
The owner of the car must contact the State Traffic Inspectorate himself, if the title is lost, the car must be disposed of or sold.

If a person loses their passport or recycles their car, they must report to the traffic police.

When a car is imported in a sawn state, liability rests with the buyer and the one who imported it, if he knew about the offense. It is often very difficult to confirm the buyer’s guilt, so fines are imposed on the seller and the car is deregistered.

There are times when a machine loses its relevance and does not meet the required standards. The owner is notified in advance so that he can bring the car into the desired condition.

Registration may be suspended for modifications or tinted windows.

Sometimes a passport is not revoked if it was issued with fake documents and the statute of limitations has expired - 5 years.

On the initiative of the traffic police

Without the participation of the car owner, registration may be terminated in the following cases:

if information has been received about the death of the owner of the car (Article 18, Part 1, Clause 3);
if information has been received about the liquidation of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur (Article 18, Part 1, Clause 4);
upon termination of guardianship or trusteeship of the owner of the car (Article 18, Part 1, Clause 5);
when the owner of the car reaches the age of 16 years (Article 18, Part 1, Clause 5);
if the documents on the basis of which the car is registered are found to be counterfeit or invalid (Article 18, Part 1, Clause 6);
in the absence of an engine number or body number (Article 20, Part 1, Clause 1);
when replacing a car engine without making changes to the registration documents (Article 20, Part 1, Clause 2);
when making changes to the design without approval from the traffic police (Article 20, part 1, clause 4);
if the car or its engine is wanted (Article 20, Part 1, Clause 5);
if the temporary registration period has expired (Article 18, Part 1, Clause 7).

At the request of the car owner

If the car owner wants to stop registering the car, he can do so. In 2021, there is no need to look for special reasons and justifications for this. For example, registration can be terminated in the following cases:

if the car is not in use and the person does not want to pay transport tax for it>;
if the car is lost;
if the car is stolen>;
if a person wants to keep the license plates of the car, and sell the car itself without license plates.

Selling a car

When the car has passed to another owner on the basis of a purchase and sale agreement, and the new owner is in no hurry to re-register it in his name, the former owner can stop registering the vehicle 10 days after the transaction.

Hijacking

If a car is stolen, the owner needs to write a statement to the police. Then contact the traffic police with an appeal regarding termination of registration. When the car is found, the registration can be renewed to the previous owner.

Lost car

This term refers to a condition in which the vehicle cannot be operated. The reason is a serious accident, after which the vehicle cannot be restored, or the car has not been running for a long time and has simply fallen apart from old age.

In such a situation, deregistration will help eliminate unnecessary tax liabilities. If you need state accounting, you can restore it again.

End of temporary vehicle registration

Such state accounting, by definition, presupposes the end of the period. Typically, legislation limits registration to 6 months, although at the initiative of the owner it can be renewed twice. The procedure is relevant in relation to vehicles imported into Russian territory by internally displaced persons, foreigners or refugees.

The car leasing agreement has expired

When the agreement ends, the relationship between the lessee and the lessor ends. At the same time, the registration of the vehicle issued in the name of the recipient is stopped.

In what cases is it possible to terminate registration?

Federal Law No. 18 on state registration of vehicles indicates when state registration is allowed to be stopped;

based on an application from the owner of the car;
upon an appeal from the former owner of the car, when the buyer did not re-register the purchase within 10 days;
if the owner of the vehicle has died;
when custody of the car owner will be terminated;
upon liquidation of a legal entity that owns a vehicle;
when the period for state registration of the vehicle has expired;
if you find out that the car was registered using documents found to be invalid/forged.

Each case is unique and characterized by atypical features, therefore registration is stopped according to different schemes depending on the reasons.

At the request of the car owner

When the owner independently wants to cancel the registration of the vehicle, it is impossible to prohibit such actions. There is no need to look for special reasons or justification for this procedure.

State accounting is terminated:

when the car has not been used for a long time, and the owner does not want to spend money on transport taxes;
if the car is lost;
when a car is stolen;
when a citizen wants to sell a vehicle and keep the license plates for himself.

These provisions refer to reasonable grounds for stopping registration.

On the initiative of the traffic police

Without an owner, state registration can be terminated on the initiative of State Traffic Inspectorate employees. This is allowed only under certain conditions:

there is no license plate on the engine or body;
when the temporary registration period has ended;
changes were made to the design of the vehicle without approval from the traffic police;
it became known about the death of the owner;
if the engine or the car itself is wanted;
cars were registered using fake papers;
the owner of the vehicle is 16 years old;
when the engine in the vehicle was replaced, but this fact was not included in the registration documentation.

In such a situation, State Traffic Inspectorate employees have the right to take the initiative to terminate the registration of the vehicle.

Selling a car

Hijacking

Lost car

In such a situation, deregistration will help eliminate unnecessary tax liabilities. If you need state accounting, you can restore it again.

End of temporary vehicle registration

The car leasing agreement has expired

When the agreement ends, the relationship between the lessee and the lessor ends. At the same time, the registration of the vehicle issued in the name of the recipient is stopped.

Statute of limitations

In the previously effective Order No. 1001, there was a rule: if a car is registered in violation of the law, but has been registered for more than 5 years, cancellation does not apply to it. This measure has now been cancelled.

Attention. A car can be forcibly deregistered at any time (even after 10 years) if it turns out that it was carried out with violations.

At the same time, the car owner has the right to sue the decisions of the traffic police and challenge the cancellation. It is also possible to restore registration by eliminating the violations that led to its cancellation.

How is forced registration terminated?

Let's consider paragraphs 55, 59 and 61 of the registration rules:

55. Termination of state registration of a vehicle is carried out on the grounds provided for in Article 18 of the Federal Law “On State Registration of Vehicles in the Russian Federation and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”, by including information about the temporary termination by the registration department in the corresponding entry of the state register of vehicles admission of a vehicle to participate in road traffic.
59. Termination of state registration of a vehicle in the event that the vehicle is registered with the state, in the presence of circumstances provided for in paragraph 6 of part 1 of Article 18 of the Federal Law “On State Registration of Vehicles in the Russian Federation and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” , is carried out by the registration division on the basis of a decision of the chief state road safety inspector for the constituent entity of the Russian Federation (his deputies) or the head of the Special Purpose Center in the field of road safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (his deputies).
61. When state registration of a vehicle is terminated in accordance with paragraphs 56, 58 - 60 of these Rules, state registration plates, with the exception of those accepted by registration divisions for preservation, and registration documents are invalidated and entered by the registration division into the relevant search records of lost special products of the State Traffic Inspectorate.

Additional information is provided in paragraph 139 of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on vehicle registration:

139. When state registration of vehicles is terminated, vehicle passports are subject to submission to registration departments, and in their absence, they are subject to being put on the wanted list.

Cancellation of registration occurs in the following order:

1. The chief inspector of the regional traffic police must decide to terminate registration.

Note. Before January 1, 2021, the regulations stated that the traffic police must send the car owner a notice of termination of registration within 3 days. In 2021, there is no such clause in the documents, that is, a notification is not sent.

2. The owner of the car must independently submit the title, registration certificate and car number plates to the traffic police. If the driver does not do this, then the documents and license plates will be put on the wanted list. After this, they will be confiscated at the first stop by traffic police officers.

How are violations determined and who makes the decision?

Cancellation of registration is carried out by the registration division of the State Traffic Inspectorate. The decision is made by the chief state inspector for the constituent entity of the Russian Federation or the head of the Special Purpose Center for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

The basis for the inspector’s decision is the vehicle’s non-compliance with legal requirements. Registration is canceled if the car falls into one of the categories described in paragraph 3 of the Order (discussed above).

Notification

If a decision is made to cancel the registration of a car, a written notification is sent to its owner within 3 business days. It indicates the reason and grounds for its cancellation.

Submission of registration documents

The owner of the car must submit all documents to the territorial division of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate where the registration was carried out. This includes (if any):

STS.
PTS.
State registration plates.

All registration documents, PTS (except for those found to be counterfeit), as well as state registration plates must be submitted to the traffic police without fail. If this requirement is not met, the undelivered documents are entered by the State Traffic Inspectorate into the search records of lost special products of the traffic police.

Documents may be excluded from the search if the car owner voluntarily provides them to the traffic police within 360 days from the date of cancellation of registration.

How can you cancel your car registration?

If such a procedure is necessary, you must have an idea of how to cancel the registration of a car.

Where to go to submit documents

To deregister, a package of documents required depending on the situation is submitted to the traffic police service. Also, depending on the situation, the car is taken for expert evaluation. How to cancel an entry in the PTS? The procedure takes place at the traffic police, where a new passport is issued.

In Japan, in addition to the “novice driver” sign, a sign for drivers over 75 years of age has been introduced – the four-leaf clover. Previously, the sign for such drivers was in the form of a fallen leaf; this comparison caused offense among pensioners, and they refused to use it, so the sticker was replaced with a new one.

Necessary documents and actions to cancel car registration

Required package of documents to cancel car registration:

Statement stating the reason;
Certificate of previous “registration” of the car;
Owner's passport and car passport (copies, originals);
Receipt for payment of the duty;
In case of theft, the relevant document from the police;
Cancellation of registration due to disposal has a change: it is necessary to present a document confirming disposal;
When exporting outside the country, you need a receipt for payment of the duty on transit plates.

After collecting all the documents, you need to submit them exactly to the authorities where the previous registration of the vehicle took place. If necessary, the machine must undergo an expert assessment. Then wait for your documents to be verified.

Procedure for considering an application for cancellation of registration

The procedure for canceling registration includes several steps:

After reviewing the documents and carrying out checks, traffic police officers will tell you where to make the necessary payments.
Then the car will be inspected by traffic police officers and the results will be transferred to government agencies.

According to the rules of the law, deregistration is carried out during the working day.

If a cancellation is refused, traffic police officers are required to indicate the reason.

When cancellation is not carried out

There is, however, a situation where such a measure as cancellation of the PTS. does not apply at all. This usually happens when the car was registered using forged documents, but more than 5 years have passed since that moment.

This practice was especially typical in the late 90s of the last century, when imported cars were imported into the Russian Federation in large quantities, and their registration was impossible due to the lack of documents.

Today, most of the cars that are sold using fictitious papers are stolen or were similarly imported illegally. However, they are also subject to the 5 year rule.

How to stop registering when selling?

Current legislation does not oblige citizens to cancel STS upon sale. This happens automatically when the new owner submits documents to the traffic police. In practice, buyers may delay re-registration so that taxes and fines are paid by the former owner. To minimize risks, it is recommended to initiate a registration termination procedure. To do this, you need to come to the traffic police with the following documents:

All-Russian passport;
Completed application;
A purchase and sale agreement concluded no earlier than 10 days ago;
Copy of PTS;
Receipt for payment of the fee.

The traffic police will review the submitted documents and deregister the vehicle. From this moment on, fines and taxes will no longer be a problem for the previous owner. Refusal is possible only if the vehicle is seized, since no registration actions are possible with such a measure of restraint.

Pre-trial appeal of legality

The decision of the traffic police to cancel the registration can be challenged. You don't have to go to court to do this. a pre-trial procedure for resolving disputes with clients of the State Traffic Inspectorate is provided. A complaint can be filed in the following cases:

If the deadline for providing a public service is violated.
If, in order to register a vehicle, documents were required that were not provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation for the provision of such a service.
If employees refused to accept documents recognized by law as mandatory for vehicle registration.
If the cancellation of registration is justified by reasons not listed in clause 3.

If the car owner intends to challenge the decision to cancel the vehicle registration, it is necessary to prepare a corresponding application. It will be considered by the department of the State Traffic Inspectorate that registered the car (clause 77, part 5). The text of the complaint must indicate:

Name of the traffic police department where the service was provided.
FULL NAME. applicant, contact telephone number and postal address.
Description of the inspection decision being appealed.
Arguments on the basis of which the applicant does not agree with the decision of the traffic police. It is allowed to provide any documents or copies thereof as evidence.

The complaint can be sent by mail, submitted electronically through the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or in person to the traffic police department.

The application is reviewed within 15 working days. If the complaint is satisfied, the car registration service must be provided within 5 working days from the date of the decision.

Finding out the legal owner of the car

The application will have to indicate the reason that prompted the owner to terminate registration. Here it is important to honestly indicate why you decided to complete state registration. If the exact owner of the car is not known, then you need to first determine it, for which you can use the traffic police database.

The vehicle is searched through the database to find out who it is officially registered to. If the owner is known, then we skip the procedure for determining the owner.

Selection of MREO

It wouldn’t hurt to check out the nearest State Traffic Inspectorate offices in advance to understand where it’s best to go. You can go to the traffic police office, where all addresses, telephone numbers and official names of institutions are listed.

According to the new rules, car owners can contact any branch of the State Traffic Inspectorate to stop registration, even one located in another city, region or region. The legislation does not limit this issue in any way.

Preparation of documents

To terminate registration, you will need to collect a set of certain papers, the list of which includes:

applicant's passport;
application to the State Traffic Inspectorate for termination of registration;
at the request of traffic police officers, an explanatory note from the owner may be required;
a document explaining the reasons for stopping registration;
number plates;
registration certificate and vehicle certificate.

There is no state duty for such actions, so you do not have to attach any receipts.

Completing an application and submitting documents

The appeal is written in free form, but traffic police officers recommend using the forms established for this, which are issued directly at the State Traffic Inspectorate office. It is better to fill out the application on the spot, so that if difficulties or incomprehensible moments arise, you can contact an employee for help.

The fields must be filled in by hand with blue ink, although computer filling is also permitted.
You will have to sign with a pen.
No typos, corrections or blots are allowed in the application, so you must fill out the document carefully.
Once completed, the application is rechecked and submitted, along with a set of required papers, to a State Traffic Inspectorate employee.
If a traffic police officer asks you to write an explanatory note, it is recommended that you honestly state the reasons for refusing registration.

When all the papers are checked, the originals will be given to the applicant. The application procedure will now be completed. In the State Traffic Inspectorate database, the vehicle will no longer be listed as the previous owner.

Challenging in court

If the territorial traffic police department refuses to satisfy the complaint, the cancellation of registration can be challenged in court. The subject of the claim in this case will be the actions and decisions of the traffic inspectorate related to the forced deregistration of the vehicle.

Reference. The car owner files a claim with the district court at the place where the vehicle is registered. The process of considering the case and its terms are regulated by the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation (Article 154) and cannot exceed two months from the date of filing the application.

Thus, the deregistration of a car occurs solely on the initiative of the traffic police and only when the rules for registering a car as provided by law are seriously violated. In this case, the decision of the Traffic Inspectorate can be challenged. If the actions of the inspection staff were found to be unlawful, the car must be registered.

When can a vehicle be re-registered?

The car can be re-registered if the reasons that led to the cancellation are completely eliminated (clause 51).

Attention. After bringing the car into compliance with all regulatory requirements, the owner has the right to re-submit documents for registration.

You can contact any territorial traffic police department. The owner will be issued new registration documents, state signs and PTS.

How much does deregistration cost?

The deregistration procedure itself is free . That is, there is no state duty for deregistration.

However, there is one exception - exporting a car outside the Russian Federation. In this case, a registration certificate and transit numbers are issued for the car, for which you need to pay state fees ( 500 + 1,600 rubles ).

When taking a car abroad

Let's consider clause 70 of the Vehicle Registration Rules:

70. Removal from state registration of a vehicle exported outside the territory of the Russian Federation for alienation in connection with the transfer of ownership of this vehicle to a foreign individual or legal entity not registered in the Russian Federation is carried out by the registration department on the basis of applications from these persons and purchase and sale agreements , donation or other documents provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, certifying their ownership of this vehicle.
For a vehicle removed from state registration and exported outside the Russian Federation, a vehicle registration certificate with a mark on deregistration and a state registration plate “TRANSIT” are issued, the validity of which is 30 days. The vehicle passport (if available) is submitted to the registration department.

Please note that in this case we are talking about the fact that before being exported abroad, the car became the property of a foreigner or a foreign legal entity. If the owner of the car is registered in Russia, then he cannot deregister the car. He can only terminate registration upon application, and it is better to do this after the car has left the territory of Russia.

As for a foreigner, to deregister he will need the following documents:

statement (discussed below);
purchase and sale agreement, gift or other agreement certifying ownership;
vehicle passport - PTS.

When deregistered for export abroad, the car must be inspected by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate (clause 146 of the registration regulations), and after deregistration, a registration certificate and transit numbers (for 30 days) must be issued to it.

When disposing of a car

Let's consider clause 71 of the registration rules and clause 147 of the registration regulations:

71. Removal from state registration of a vehicle after disposal upon application for registration actions by the owner of the vehicle or an organization authorized to dispose of vehicles is carried out by the registration department upon presentation of a certificate (act) of disposal confirming the fact of destruction of the vehicle.
147. Removal of a vehicle from state registration in accordance with paragraph 71 of the Rules is carried out on the basis of documents provided for in subparagraphs 27.1 - 27.3 of paragraph 27 of the Administrative Regulations and provided for in subparagraph 27.4.7 of paragraph 27 of the Administrative Regulations, a certificate (act) of disposal confirming the fact of destruction of the vehicle. In this case, the administrative procedures provided for in subparagraphs 61.1 – 61.2, 61.4 and 61.7 of paragraph 61 of the Administrative Regulations are carried out.

To deregister after disposal, the car owner will need:

statement (discussed below);
passport of the car owner;
PTS and vehicle registration certificate;
certificate of disposal.

Please note that a car can be deregistered only after the car has actually been disposed of. That is, first the car is destroyed, and only then its owner receives a certificate and applies to the traffic police with it. In addition, it is impossible to re-register a car that has been deregistered after disposal.

What procedures may require restoration of vehicle registration?

Cars may be deregistered. This happens for various reasons. Removal from the RU is always carried out by the traffic police, but this procedure can also be initiated by the owners or owners of the vehicle themselves, authorized persons, as well as courts or other authorized government agencies (customs, prosecutor’s office, etc.).

The reverse procedure is also possible - restoration of the reactor plant. It is worth noting here that the restoration of the Republic of Uzbekistan for individuals and legal entities is their inalienable right (subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions and by virtue of Part 3 of Article 55 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as Clause 2 of Article 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), and not some permissive will of local government agencies.

This is in general terms. Now I will briefly dwell on the particulars.

What are the options for terminating RU?

Both termination and restoration of RU transport in the traffic police have several options.

Among motorists, and even in sources devoted to automotive topics, different terms are used to characterize registration and its restoration. This introduces some confusion, which we will deal with in a moment.

Typically, the following designations regarding RU are used in speech:

Termination;
Cancellation;
Removal;
Disposal;
Ban.

Termination of registration

In specialized regulations, termination of registration means suspension of registration of a vehicle. This action is also called cancellation of the RU.

There is a difference in the procedures for deregistration and termination, but it does not affect the possibility of restoration, so I will not delve into these nuances.

Termination of RU can be carried out:

When the traffic police authorities identify inconsistencies stipulated by the CU law (technical, registration, legal, etc.);
When cars are stolen by criminals;
If the vehicle is lost , it becomes impossible to operate the vehicle, as well as if its location is unknown.

The termination of the RU also includes the transfer of ownership rights to the vehicle (sale, donation, etc.). But here, since 2013, the so-called procedure has been applied. re-registration, which consists in the simultaneous deletion and registration of a car by the traffic police.

There is also a ban on registration actions, as well as registration arrest of a vehicle - with such procedures, the data and status of the vehicle are not changed, but only the possibility of this for the owner or owner of the car is “frozen”.

Article on the topic: Step-by-step instructions for deregistering a car - what does this mean for the new owner and what does it mean for the old owner?

Deregistration

Deregistration does not mean the suspension of the RU, but its complete termination - the so-called. archiving.

After registration is terminated in the suspension mode, information about the vehicle is not removed from the active databases - the corresponding markers are simply added to them.

In the case of complete deregistration, information about the car is transferred to another passive database, although it is not deleted completely.

Removal from the reactor plant is colloquially referred to as disposal (or write-off), but this does not correspond to the completeness of the concept. Deregistration of a vehicle due to its disposal does not mean the fact of write-off itself, but only presupposes planning by the owner of such a procedure.

Also, deregistration is possible when a car leaves the borders of the Russian Federation for the purpose of registration in another country (for example, upon sale) or upon expiration of the temporary registration period (this can be done automatically).

Attention! Today, a motorist cannot deregister a vehicle just like that - this requires one of the above reasons.

What to do if registration is canceled

It is important to find out what actions need to be taken if the vehicle registration has been cancelled. You cannot use the car, so it is important to immediately find out the reason from the traffic police.

A request is sent and a response comes within a month.

When the result is obtained, the procedure is as follows:

We analyze whether there is a chance to eliminate the causes.
We draw up and send an application to the traffic police with the request.
If the relevant authorities refuse, you need to receive the document in the form of a letter and you can go to court.
With the help of the court, it is usually possible to return the registration.

As a result, there are two options to return the account: to prove the illegality of the measure taken or to eliminate the possible reasons.

Canceled car registration - what does this mean - car owners think.

Due to the latest innovations, when the owner of movable property changes, registration is not terminated. This means that there is no need to submit your passport with a license plate to the traffic police.

You can terminate your account with the documents in hand. Every motorist should know how to deregister a vehicle.

Subsequence:

collect all documents - passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, power of attorney certified by a notary (if necessary);
write a statement to the traffic police demanding that the PTS be terminated;
the car must undergo an expert inspection with the issuance of a special certificate;
With the received document, they contact the traffic inspectorate to accept a new passport.

When transporting a car from one city to another, cancellation of registration is carried out after the purchase and sale transaction.

If a person is the owner of a vehicle and simply changes his place of residence, he must submit an application and documents to the new address. The car is removed from the previous recording location automatically.

What are the consequences of deregistration of a vehicle?

Stopping state accounting upon reaching 10 days from the date of the transaction entails certain consequences for both the seller and the person who has become the new owner of the vehicle on the basis of a purchase and sale agreement.

To the new owner

The new owner, having overstayed the deadline for re-registration, forces the previous owner to terminate state accounting. As a result, the purchase and sale agreement automatically terminates, and the vehicle begins to be officially searched for.

The documents and car are confiscated from the new owner, and the culprit is given fines. Similar actions occur when a vehicle is stolen, only much more severe punishment is applied to the hijackers.

To the seller

There will be no threatening consequences for the seller. The contract for the purchase and sale transaction will also expire, and the search for the car and documents for it will begin. An undoubted advantage for the seller will be the removal of tax obligations on the vehicle. But there is also a serious drawback - all fines for violations committed by the buyer will be paid to the old owner.

With the advent of the ability to independently suspend the registration of a vehicle, the system of purchase and sale and re-registration of a vehicle for the seller has become as simplified as possible. Although buyers often violate the deadlines allotted for registration, incurring fines and taxes on the previous owner. But the ability to terminate registration after a 10-day period allows the seller to avoid unnecessary costs.

Restoring a canceled registration
