I don't want to read it, go to the instructions
Even if there are drivers who have never had to pay fines for violating certain traffic rules, this is very rare. When a traffic police officer catches a driver in the act of committing a violation, they are immediately issued a receipt to pay the fine.
It’s another matter if the violation was recorded by a surveillance camera or radar. In this case, the notice of imposition of a fine is sent by registered mail. The letter may arrive late or be completely lost.
This means that the information will never reach the addressee, and he will not know about the imposition of penalties. As a result, a debt is formed, the repayment of which is the responsibility of the bailiffs.
Full information about the availability of fines can be obtained promptly and without problems on the State Services website.
In order of information! Only authorized users have access to information about fines imposed by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate on the State Services resource. To do this, they go through a simple registration procedure. This is done very quickly.
How to receive information about fines on State Services
Information from the traffic police database flows here. If a citizen is registered on the portal, if he has indicated his driver’s license number and vehicle STS data, he can receive a full breakdown of violations and fines.
If you indicate only a driver’s license, then the portal will only display information about decisions issued personally by traffic police officers (you were stopped on the highway and a violation was detected). From cameras, fines are assigned to the STS, so you need to enter it to obtain the most accurate information.
On State Services you can attach not only owned vehicles to your account. If the car is registered to another person, you can also indicate his STS and receive information about fines issued for this document.
To add a new vehicle, you need to log into your account and open the “Documents and Data” section. The “Transport” tab displays all cars linked to your account. To add a new one, click the corresponding button:
A car form will open where you need to enter data about it. This is the state number, series and STS number. You don’t have to provide additional information; it does not apply to traffic police fines. In the “Vehicle Name” field, you can specify any template name.
Click on the save button, and that’s it, information about the car is attached to your account. If suddenly a fine is issued for this STS, this will be reflected on the State Services website in the appropriate section.
How to check?
You can obtain information about existing fines for traffic violations using information about the vehicle and driver,
and also by receipt number:
It is indicated on the decree, which is handed to the violator when drawing up the protocol.
In order to check traffic fines, you need to enter information about the driver and his driver’s license number in government services. The second step is to indicate the vehicle number and enter data from the vehicle registration certificate. Next, click the “Find fines” button and get the answer.
After waiting for a minute, the result will appear on the screen.
If there are no violations, the entry “No fines found” will be displayed. If there are any, then the complete list will appear before the user. If necessary, they can be sorted by statute of limitations.
Worth remembering! On the government services portal it is possible not only to obtain information about traffic violations and find out the amount of fines, but also to pay them in a couple of minutes.
How to view traffic police fines on State Services
The registered user’s personal account will reflect all current fines issued for the driver’s license specified in the profile and for the linked STS of any cars.

How to pay a fine with a 50% discount
Drivers can actually pay fines with a 50% discount. For example, if a fine of 500 rubles is issued, you can only pay 250 if you make the payment promptly and without delay.
According to the law, a citizen is given a period of 60 days to pay the traffic police fine, after which the collection case may go to the bailiff (then an enforcement fee will also be added, which may be more than the fine). But if the driver makes payment within 20 days after the decision is issued, he is given a 50% discount.
This applies to orders issued for the following violations:
- lack of a compulsory motor liability insurance policy;
- crossing the road in the wrong place;
- talking on the phone while driving;
- over speed;
- driving into the oncoming lane;
- driving a car while previously deprived of the right to drive a vehicle;
- driving on red;
- driving a car that is not registered with the traffic police;
- the driver or his passengers are not wearing seat belts.
All other types of violations are paid without discounts. If the type of fine requires a 50% discount, and less than 20 days have passed since the resolution was drawn up, the discount on the State Services portal is automatically provided.
If the fine concerns a car that you sold, you need to contact the new owner of the vehicle. In general, he is obliged to re-register the car in his name within 10 days from the date of purchase. If he is in no hurry to do this, the former owner can apply through the State Services to terminate registration.
