Procedure for removing license plates
When removing a state registration plate, a protocol on an administrative offense is drawn up, where a note is made about the prohibition of use and a special protocol on the removal of state registration plates.
The license plate will be confiscated until the reasons for the prohibition of use are eliminated. In all cases, except for those provided for in Article 9.3 and Part 2 of Article 12.5, traffic is allowed to move to the place where the reasons for the prohibition of operation are eliminated within 24 hours from the date of drawing up the protocol (Part 2.1 of Article 27.13 of the Administrative Code).
The procedure for transferring state registration plates to the relevant departments of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, storing and returning state registration plates is established by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated March 19, 2004 No. 187 “On the implementation of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 18, 2003 No. 759.” In accordance with the order, confiscated state signs are transferred to the traffic police department at the place where the offense was detected. An entry about this is made in the register of state registration plates accepted for storage. The register must reflect: the state registration plate, the date and reason for removal, information about the owner of the vehicle, information about the employee who accepted the state registration plates for storage, the date of return or transfer of the state registration plates to the place of registration of the vehicle, a mark on the disposal of the state registration plate registration plate (if there was one).
If the seizure of the state sign occurred on the territory of the constituent entity of Russia where the vehicle is registered, the numbers are transferred to the traffic police department at the place where the vehicle is registered. If the seizure occurred on the territory of another subject of the Russian Federation, then the numbers are transferred to the traffic police department at the place where the offense was detected, with subsequent transfer to the traffic police department at the place where the vehicle is registered. In this case, the owner of the vehicle or his representative may submit a petition so that the license plates and the protocol on the administrative offense are not transferred. In this case, the period within which the owner of the vehicle undertakes to correct the reasons for the prohibition of operation is indicated. If the reasons are not corrected on time, the state registration plates and the protocol are transferred to the unit at the place where the vehicle is registered.
If state registration plates are seized from a vehicle registered in another state, they are stored until the reason for the prohibition of operation is eliminated in the traffic police department at the place where the offense was detected. After the reasons for prohibiting the operation of the vehicle are corrected, the state registration plates are returned to the owner, which is recorded in the protocol.

Causes
Number plates can be removed from a car only if there are compelling reasons for this. The legislation specifies all cases when they have the right to apply this measure. Now let's look at the applicable penalties for violations.
Reasons for renting rooms:
- A person uses a machine that exceeds acceptable noise or emissions levels. A fine of 500 rubles was imposed.
- The vehicle has breakdowns in the brake or steering systems or the coupling device. In this case, the driver uses the car. In this case, you will be fined 500 rubles, and the faulty car will be towed to the impound lot.
- The established requirements for tinting have been violated. In this case, you will have to fix the problem and also pay 500 rubles for the violation.
- A person drives a car on which the state sign is installed in the wrong place. In this case, you will either be fined 5,000 rubles or have your driver’s license revoked for 3 months.
- Use of special purpose sound and light devices, service color schemes. At the same time, a person does not have the right to do this, since the car does not belong, for example, to the police or ambulance. The traffic police has the right to fine you 5,000 rubles. In this case, illegal devices will be confiscated.
- Using headlights of the wrong color, we remind you that only white is allowed. The inspector can fine you 3,000 rubles and take away your license for a period of six months to a year.
- Illegal use of taxi lights. You will have to pay 5,000 rubles.
- The person does not have an MTPL insurance policy. As you know, all drivers should have it. They can be fined 500–800 rubles.
What documents need to be provided to the traffic police if license plates are stolen?
Don't expect the abolition of plate rolls to make life easier for drivers. This will have almost no effect on sanctions for violations of rules and requirements. If only it will reduce the opportunities for corruption on the roads. But you can still drive out in a car without registration or with a faulty steering wheel, park it in the wrong place and end up without transport and money.
Drivers can also do this at their own discretion, if there are certain reasons for this (installation and deregistration, as well as some other reasons).
The same severe punishment is threatened for a very common everyday situation, when a driver, having bought a car at a car dealership, receives license plates, but for some reason does not have time or does not want to assign them to regular places. Signs are thrown in the cabin or stuck under the windows. Such a car can be stopped by the first traffic police crew that comes across.
Extortionists. All ransomware operates according to the same well-established scheme. Going out to his car, the owner of the license plates discovers a note with the indicated ransom amount on it.
A domestic motorist, being a participant in road traffic, must register his vehicle. This is done to control crime, theft and sales of cars.
In the recently arrived 2021, compared to previous periods, the registration rules have changed significantly. On July 10, 2018, new laws were adopted regulating a different procedure for car registration.
For example, the lights do not work or the engine smokes mercilessly (and the driver has been caught for this violation for the second time in a year), the windshield is broken, or there is even tinting on the front windows. Need I say that faulty brakes and steering can also cause the license plate to be removed? Driving such a car is generally dangerous!
Some drivers who violate the law deliberately stick on a license plate or use non-standard nuts. They do this so that they simply cannot remove state signs. However, it should be understood that signs are considered the property of the state. Therefore, the traffic police inspector can remove them in any way, even if it means damaging the car.
Why are license plates removed from a car 2021
New formats of registration plates are described by GOST R 50577–2018, which has already come into force on August 4, 2019.
In the 90s and early 2000s, Moscow traffic police officers widely used the removal of license plates from cars... I saw how in Bibirevo (formerly there was a market where the metro station is now) and people left their cars in the parking lot... They came and... sat in cars, and a man approached them, knocked on the window and when the window opened he said: “Your license plates are screwed up...”. The driver got out and was dumbfounded... In most of these cases, the license plate is returned to the car owner after paying a fine, and if the car is faulty, smoked more than normal or was converted, then after bringing it into proper condition and passing a technical inspection. For driving with fake license plates, you face the most serious punishment - up to and including deprivation of your license. The fake number, of course, is not returned to the offender.
Russia has moved closer to Europe
Motorists are confident that this amendment is important and necessary. Many have long been in favor of the fact that a car is private property, and the traffic police inspector has no right to touch it.
“This amendment is proactive. Soon the issue would have become especially acute, but the authorities sensed the situation and solved the problem that had not yet matured. The car is private property. Nobody has the right to touch her. In all European countries, inspectors do not require you to leave the car and, moreover, do not confiscate any parts,” Konstantin Krokhmal , head of the public system “Ensuring Road Safety,”
How to leave license plates on a car when selling it
If the numbers do not meet the requirements, you may be forced to make duplicates. This can be done at the MREO or at an organization that has permission and the necessary equipment. Making duplicate numbers will take 20-40 minutes.
- 2,000 rub. — production of duplicate numbers;
- 350 rub. — making changes to the passport of an old car;
- 500 rub. — issuance of a new registration certificate for the car being sold;
- 2,000 rub. — issuing numbers;
- 350 rub. — making changes to the passport of a new car;
- 500 rub. — issuance of a registration certificate for the purchased car;
- 2,000 rub. – issuance of license plates for the purchased vehicle.
When can traffic police officers remove license plates?
Previously installed gas equipment must be registered again in 2021. To do this, there is no need to remove all parts not provided for by the design (as was the case before), just visit a specialized laboratory for an expert assessment and give the resulting conclusion to the traffic police.
If at least one registration plate remains on the car, the absence of a second plate will be interpreted as a violation of the requirements of the state standard for installing license plates, and not a complete absence of license plates on the vehicle. The fact is that in the second part of Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offences, the fine is not 500 rubles, but 5000 (this is if both numbers are missing).
Is it possible to find stolen license plates?
A situation may arise when, for some reason, it is not possible to return the state sign in the usual way. At the same time, the driver eliminated the cause of the violation and paid a fine. After these actions, he still could not get his car decals. If a person is sure that the problem does not come from him, and that the traffic police officers are acting unlawfully, then he should file a complaint with the court.
I’m selling a car, a person wants to keep my license plates and suggests that I sell the car under a purchase and sale agreement, but my friends say that I will receive taxes for this car, the car is powerful, there are a lot of horses, I don’t know what to do, should I deregister? or sell under contract?
But relatively recently a legislative norm was passed that transfers the process of producing license plates to private hands. As a result, even in the event of theft or seizure by traffic police inspectors, you can simply make new ones.
Meanwhile, the new amendments bring benefits of a different nature. It is now impossible to drive without license plates under any circumstances. Previously, reckless drivers could remove their signs to avoid being fined by cameras, and they drove for weeks.
This rule was officially in force in Russia until October 2014. Then the authorities decided to remove it so that there would be no controversy on the road. Note that there was one inconsistency here - the driver eliminated the violation, but could not get to the traffic police department, since driving without a license plate was prohibited.
Now the hole has been closed: the position has been corrected, there is no longer any twisting of numbers. Who will tell you about twisting numbers - a member of you know which party. If a new unit purchased at a branded car dealership for some reason does not meet the level of quality declared by the seller or is faulty, the owner who returned it will not have to re-visit the traffic police and deregister the car.
Don't expect the abolition of plate rolls to make life easier for drivers. This will have almost no effect on sanctions for violations of rules and requirements. If only it will reduce the opportunities for corruption on the roads. But you can still drive out in a car without registration or with a faulty steering wheel, park it in the wrong place and end up without transport and money.
If there is a frame
The frame itself is made of plastic. The license plate in the frame at the top and at the ends is pressed with hooks that hold it in a given position. At the bottom there is a wide strip that is removed before removing the license plates from the car.
Frames for license plates are available in several versions, which differ in the way the lower removable strip is attached.
Option 1
The strip is attached from the back to one latch along its entire length.
To remove it, just bend the frame with the number slightly towards you and use your fingers to pry the strip from behind towards the bumper. The latch comes unfastened and the strip is removed. The number is carefully removed from the fixing hooks using a top-down motion. To simplify the task, use a flat-head screwdriver.
Option 2
The bottom strip is first inserted into the end grooves, then fixed in the middle with two latches.
Dismantling the strip proceeds in the reverse order:
- Use your fingers or a flat screwdriver to pull the central latches toward you;
- alternately, slightly bending the strip, remove it from the end grooves.
The number is removed from the frame, as in the first option.
Option 3
In this design, there are 2 locks securing it on the bottom strip. The sign is tightly inserted into the grooves located at the top and bottom along the entire length of the frame.
To remove a number, the locks on the bottom of the frame are opened towards the center.
The bar is lowered, removing the lower part of the sign from the groove. To release the upper part, just insert a screwdriver into the holes on the number, rest it against the plastic of the frame and lower it down. The number has been removed.
