How much does it cost to deregister a car with the traffic police?

Suspension of registration or its termination?

There are many reasons for deregistering a car with the traffic police. Each has a special registration procedure. In 2021, previously canceled procedures, often perceived as equivalent, became available - deregistration of a vehicle and termination of registration.

Withdrawal means suspension of registration . Applicable for:

• sale;
• hijacking;
• loss of a vehicle;
• to remove legal liability from the previous owner for the use of the car by third parties;
• to keep your old license plates when selling a car;
• death of the owner;
• liquidation/bankruptcy/reorganization of legal entities. the person on whose balance sheet the vehicle is located;
• expiration of the car leasing agreement.

Suspension of accounting is used in cases where time is required to change the status of a car.

Termination of registration by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate - all data on the vehicle is removed from the register and sent to the archive. The procedure is resorted to after an accident (an insured event, in case of severe damage to a car, its part, or assemblies), when disposing of a vehicle (including under the state recycling program), or when exporting it outside the country for a long period of time (forever).

Deregister a car without a car

Many car owners are wondering whether they can go through the procedure of deregistering their car without being able to submit the car itself for inspection. We hasten to answer this question in the presented section of the article.

Is it possible to accomplish what we have planned without a car in hand?

To remove a car from state registration, you must contact directly the employees of the State Road Safety Inspectorate, as all previous times. In this case, it does not matter which branch the car was registered in; in any case, you cannot present it.

In what situations such a procedure may be necessary, we have already mentioned earlier. These include:

• disposal of an obsolete vehicle that has lost the ability to perform its technical task;
• car theft committed by third parties, confirmed by the police;
• premature transportation of the car to other countries;
• if the buyer of the car has not re-registered the vehicle in his name.

In all the presented cases, circumstances may arise such that, despite all the desires, the owner will not be able to provide the car. In a situation with theft, this will happen with one hundred percent probability, since the car will be missing through no fault of its owner, who himself would passionately want to return it.

The same applies to the last situation, when the previous owner of the car is forced to independently initiate the procedure for deregistering the car; even by agreement with the new owner, they did not carry out re-registration, and he also did not go through this procedure on his own within ten days after purchase. The previous owner will be forced to do this on his own, otherwise, no longer being the person responsible for the car, he will continue to pay:

• transport taxes;
• fines earned by the new owner.

When disposing of a car, as we have already said, two options are possible: complete and partial, without units. In any case, if the car is no longer moving, the driver will not drag it along with him to his destination (traffic police department) like a barge hauler. You will have to carry out bureaucratic procedures without the participation of the “iron horse”, however, in the case when you are saving the units, an expert specially invited by you will still have to inspect them and the entire “body” of the machine. We would like to remind you right away that there is an additional charge for this.

The same applies to taking a car abroad. Every citizen can do this independently; there are no legislative obstacles to this, especially since today in Russia only those persons who are:

• IP;
• YUL.

In order to go through the deregistration procedure without a car, you must submit the following documents to the employees of the State Road Traffic Safety Inspectorate:

• application to terminate the vehicle's state registration;
• the main document of a citizen of the Russian Federation belonging to the owner of the car;
• certificate issued upon registration of the car;
• technical passport relating to the vehicle being deregistered;
• receipts or bank checks paid for the relevant government fees;
• if the car is sold, then it is also necessary to provide the agreement concluded between the first and second owner;
• if the owner of the car cannot appear on his own, an authorized person is sent in his place, presenting confirmation of the legal basis for his own participation in the procedure - a notarized power of attorney.

Nuances when drawing up an application

Depending on what served as the circumstances for writing the required application, it is necessary to take into account specific features.

1. So, if the car is exported to another country, it is necessary to indicate this nuance in the application for deregistration of the car. The wording may be as follows: in connection with the movement of the vehicle outside the borders of the Russian Federation.”
2. If you are sending your car for complete recycling, you must indicate this in the application. However, if it is decided to release some of the units, the following points must be included in the application: “deregistration is carried out in connection with the disposal of the vehicle”;
3. “it is necessary to obtain a certificate for such and such a part (for example, an engine).”

What documents are needed at the traffic police?

To carry out registration actions with the MREO, the owner of the car or his authorized representative must have a package of documents available:

1. Statement. You can download the form on the State Services website. In some cases it is written in free form, by hand.
2. Civil passport of the vehicle owner. For legal entities persons – this is an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. The representative acting on behalf of the owner must present a passport and a power of attorney (notarized).
3. Vehicle sale agreement or document certifying the right of ownership/disposal (confirming the fact of transfer of ownership).
4. State receipt duties (when deregistered for export of a vehicle abroad, in other cases the state duty is not paid).
5. Certificate of registration (CTC), vehicle registration certificate.

The list of documents depends on the reason for deregistration. When an insured event occurs, the MREO requires a conclusion on the technical inspection of the vehicle. It is issued by a traffic police inspector and is valid for 20 days from the date of issue.

When recycling, you need vehicle license plates, a certificate or certificate of recycling. In cases of theft/theft, the owner is obliged to provide the traffic police with a notice/certificate from the police about the crime confirming the absence of the vehicle at the time.*

*When the car is found, registration can be resumed from the moment the car is handed over to the owner.

Deregistration of a car: reasons

There are several most common situations in which the owner of the car must initiate the procedure for deregistering the vehicle. These include the following.

Most often, deregistration of a car is carried out when purchasing a car. Thus, the State Road Safety Inspectorate receives information that a particular car no longer belongs to the old owner, but has become the property of the new owner.

In this situation, the buyer of the vehicle is required by law to carry out the procedure for removing the car and re-registering it, however, if within 10 days from the date of purchasing the “wheels” he does not do this, responsibility for the first element of the procedure (deregistration) falls on the shoulders of the seller .

The required procedure, first of all, should be of interest to the old owner of the car, since if the car is not re-registered to the new owner in the traffic police database, then if the new owner commits, for example, a crime on the road, questions will first of all be addressed to to the former owner.

Most often, this procedure is necessary when selling a car.

The second common case in which you have to remove a car from state registration is transferring the car for recycling. Typically, recycling of old vehicles is carried out as part of a government program. In order not to continue to pay the transport tax, which is mandatory for car owners in almost every region of the Russian Federation, you must contact the State Road Safety Inspectorate and deregister the car.

One of the reasons for deregistration of a car is the failure of the “iron horse”

Drivers of new and relatively new vehicles may not think about carrying out such a procedure for a long time; most likely, after some time they will exchange the car for a newer and more powerful one. However, citizens who initially purchased an old car or received it, for example, by inheritance, may well encounter such a situation and dispose of the vehicle before deregistration. Although, in this case, not all is lost, since it is possible to cancel the state registration of a car.

If your car has been stolen, you will also need to suspend its registration until it is found. In this case, going through the bureaucratic withdrawal procedure is in the interests of the car owner himself, since without it, taxes will continue to be collected on the car. It’s good if the vehicle is eventually found, but it also happens that the owners never see their own car again. However, they pay transport tax fees on it, the amount of which, among other things, has a very unpleasant effect on the wallets of ordinary Russian citizens.

As soon as you discover that your car has been stolen, immediately contact law enforcement and file a theft report. When the fact of the crime is confirmed, demand an official document indicating your unpleasant situation. Only on the basis of this certificate will the State Road Safety Inspectorate give you a positive response to your request to deregister your vehicle.

If you leave for permanent residence or temporary, but long-term, residence in another country, and take the car with you, you will have to deregister the car on the territory of the Russian Federation. Ultimately, this is necessary to:

• do not pay transport tax;
• be able to register a vehicle in another country.

When moving to another country, you must deregister your car.

A car cannot be registered with the state at the same time in several countries. To obtain the right to drive your own car in another country legally, while living there, and at the same time not to become a malicious tax evader in your home country, you will have to go through this procedure before moving.

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 24, 2008 N 1001 (as amended on March 20, 2017) “On the procedure for registering vehicles”

As you can see, there are quite a lot of reasons for removing the “iron horse” from state registration. Now let's take a closer look at the procedure that interests us in the context of each of them.

How to deregister a car for recycling

Vehicles that have served their allotted time (and sometimes much more) are sent for recycling. In order not to create “cemeteries” of completely intact machines, they undergo special processing under a press and so-called scissors, the size of which exceeds the size of the machine itself.

To carry out this procedure with a vehicle that has served you well, first of all, you need to revoke its state registration. To do this, you need to collect and submit to the traffic police the following package of necessary documents:

• basic identification document of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• technical passport related to the vehicle;
• certificate of the vehicle passing the state registration procedure;
• it is also necessary to remove (preferably also wash) the plastic plates with numbers attached next to the bumper on the front and rear of the car;
• it is necessary to fill out an application for disposal.

In addition, it will be necessary to provide the service specialists with a paid receipt for the state duty for car license plates.

As soon as you collect all the documents listed above, you will have the opportunity to dispose of your vehicle along with all the units built into it. After submitting the papers for verification and receiving confirmation that the data in them corresponds to reality, you will receive a certificate from the automobile inspector working in the traffic police about the possibility of recycling.

If you decide to hand over the car for recycling, while removing the units from it, you will need to carry out the following procedures:

• verify the numbers of the required units;
• order a visit from an expert, whose tasks will be to conduct an inspection of the vehicle and subsequently issue an appropriate conclusion;
• during the disposal procedure, pay a certain amount for those units that will remain in your possession and will not be destroyed;
• hand over all received official papers to the automobile inspector, who in return will give you a certificate of ownership of the required unit;
• pay the state fee for disposal and issuance of a certificate of its implementation, the amount of which is only 200 Russian rubles.

Let's look again in the table at what actions will need to be performed when saving aggregates and without them.

Table 1. Auto recycling

How to deregister a car if it is stolen

If your car was recently stolen, do not rush to apply to deregister the car. The fact is that without real evidence that the car owner does not know where his actually stolen vehicle is, the traffic police will not carry out the procedure for canceling state registration. Only another official government body can provide such evidence; your words will not be enough.

If you discover that you don’t know anything about the real location of your car, the first thing you should do is go to the police and file a report of vehicle theft. After its consideration, a criminal case will be initiated against the criminal who stole your car. The basis for its initiation will be the theft of a car.

When it is determined that the vehicle is temporarily or permanently unable to be found, you will receive a letter from law enforcement notifying you of the situation. Take the letter you are looking for and go to the State Road Safety Inspectorate. Present the document you have in your hands and declare your desire to carry out the procedure for removing the car from state registration.

To carry out the procedure, in addition to a police certificate, you will need the following documents:

• passport of the owner of the vehicle;
• technical passport of the mobility device;
• written statement.

Selling a car and removing it from state registration

To stop paying transport taxes when selling a car, the owner must come to the traffic police department and submit the relevant documents for verification, as in all other situations. After contacting the government agency, your car and the papers offered for it will be viewed and analyzed by competent system employees. If you apply for new license plates, he will issue a permit and give the go-ahead to deregister the car.

In order for everything to work out as planned, you need to contact the same branch of the State Road Safety Inspectorate where the car was originally registered. You must take the following documents with you:

• owner's passport;
• the same document for the technical device (your car);
• an agreement concluded between the former and current owner of the car;
• a receipt from a paid receipt issued in the form of a document for state duty, the amount of which will vary depending on many different factors.

Next, the competent authorities will carry out an inspection of the vehicle regarding various types of encumbrances imposed on it.

Let's give an example. If the car was originally purchased on credit at a dealership, it is important that at the time it is deregistered, all outstanding loan payments have been repaid. In the event that there are late payments, the car is not considered to fully belong to the previous owner, and therefore cannot be deregistered and registered in the name of a new person.

After the check is fully completed, representatives of the state system will give the car owner a list of payments that he will need to make. Without transferring the required funds, it will not be possible to deregister the car. There is a 100% chance that you will have to pay for changes made to the technical equipment passport.

After all the procedures have been completed, the car is inspected by representatives of the traffic police for the last time, all the parameters of interest to it are checked by them, and an inspection report is issued to you. Along with it you will receive:

• technical passport of the car;
• a card with registration information;
• various payment receipts;
• if the numbers have changed, you will be given new samples.

All the procedures described above are carried out quite quickly; if you hurry, most of them will be completed in one day.

We would like to draw your attention to a very important fact: since 2013, the procedure for selling a car, associated with deregistration and re-registration, has been simplified. Now the car can not be confiscated from the databases of the state system, but can be immediately re-registered to the new owner. This allows you to avoid a lot of time and also reduces the number of payments made during the re-registration process.

Deregistration when moving

If you have changed your place of residence, according to the letter of the law, you are responsible for re-registering the car at the new permanent registration address. To do this, you need to perform the following steps.

Bring the following set of documents to the place of current registration of the vehicle (traffic police department at your new place of residence):

• main document of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• vehicle registration certificate;
• certificate of assignment of a taxpayer identification number to the owner of the car and of his tax registration;
• a statement written by you, which states that you want to make some changes regarding the registration of the car;
• car insurance document;
• receipts of payment made for state duties.

Having received the above documents, the traffic police inspector will send a notification to the previous car registration department that you want to deregister the car and register in a new place

At the previous place of registration, they carry out the necessary procedures related to the cancellation of the registration of your car, and then send you a notice with the relevant content, which must be delivered to the local office of the State Road Safety Inspectorate. This will allow the car to be re-registered at the new location.

If you are an individual entrepreneur or a representative of a legal entity who has decided to move abroad with a faithful iron friend, then it will be important to obtain transit numbers in Russia when deregistering, paying a certain amount for them in the form of a state fee.

Algorithm for deregistering a car

Deregistration consists of 4 main stages:

1. filling out and submitting an application;
2. making an appointment;
3. visiting the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, providing the inspector with documents.
4. checking the status (ownership) of the car (on the website of the state traffic inspectorate).

By law, deregistration of a car, with the exception of some cases, is an optional procedure - re-registration is the responsibility of the new owner. But it happens that the owner is in no hurry to register the car in his name. Then fines, transport and property taxes will be sent to the previous address. It is possible to protest the need for payments to government agencies, but this can take a long time and requires either correspondence with the tax or traffic police department, or their visits.

• export of vehicles from the country.

In other situations, there is no need to present the car to the traffic police inspector.

Can they refuse to deregister? Causes

The reasons for refusal to deregister a vehicle may be an incomplete package of documentation or a court decision that placed the vehicle under arrest. The full list of restrictions for registration actions is prescribed in Federal Law No. 283, Article 20:

• Prohibition on registration actions with vehicles.
• Incompetence of the person who applied to the traffic police to deregister the vehicle;
• Failure to comply with the requirements of the MREO. These are blots, unauthorized corrections of records, unreliability of PTS data;
• Problems with the electronic vehicle passport;

Therefore, if you need to deregister a car without unnecessary hassle and for sure, the vehicle owner can use it.

State duty for deregistration of a car in 2021

• When to deregister a car
• What is the price
• What to do before the procedure
• What documents to collect
• Step by step order
• What if you don’t deregister?
• What if I deregistered the car, but received a fine?

The traffic police deregisters the car free of charge. New documents and license plates are not issued, so there is no need to pay a state fee.

The only exception is when the owner of the car deregisters it to take it abroad. In this case, the owner receives a registration certificate (CTC), if there is none, and transit numbers. The state duty for STS is 500 rubles, for a number - 1600 rubles.

Attention! The procedure for deregistering a vehicle is a free service provided by the State Traffic Inspectorate. However, during the process, the car owner still expects to spend money.

To understand the amount of the state duty for deregistering a car, you need to determine the reason why the car owner needs to go through this procedure.

• the vehicle may be subject to deregistration due to sale
• the procedure may be required due to the car owner moving outside the Russian Federation; accordingly, the vehicle will be taken abroad
• deregistration is a mandatory requirement for complete or partial disposal

If the car owner decides to undergo the deregistration procedure before selling the vehicle or after completing the transaction (the procedure is necessary if there is a delay in re-registering the car in the name of the new owner), then the service will be provided to him absolutely free of charge.

Withdrawal due to the removal of a car outside the country requires payment of a transport fee for the issuance of transit license plates (metal plate - 1,600 rubles, paper - 200 rubles). Additional costs may be caused by the lack of STS. Issuing a car certificate costs 500 rubles.

Complete disposal of a vehicle does not imply payment of state duty. If the car was disposed of at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate-MREO, the driver will have to pay 200 rubles for deregistration.

In case of partial recycling, the car owner will have to pay a state fee of 350 rubles for a certificate for a license plate.

Attention! Since the deregistration procedure requires the availability of a full package of documents, which includes a receipt for payment of the transport fee, the state duty must be paid in advance.

There are several main options for repaying the cost of the above service:

• at a bank branch
• via terminal
• through the public services portal

The latter option involves providing a discount of 30% of the price set for the procedure.
