When purchasing a car, each car owner goes through the registration procedure with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, pays a state fee of 2,000 rubles and receives a personal state registration plate, license plate, or car number. Apart from the fee, you do not have to pay anything for this service. However, the semi-legal sale of GRZ is thriving on the Internet. The most expensive license plates for a car in Russia cost at least 3-5 million rubles.

Each number is unique and consists of three letters and numbers in one field, which indicate the series and number of the car plate. The other field contains the region code. Naturally, symmetrical, beautiful combinations of symbols attract the attention of motorists. You can purchase them on online platforms. Direct purchase and sale is not permitted by Russian law, but there are ways to circumvent the rules.

Which rooms are expensive?

Car enthusiasts buy beautiful license plates for various reasons. Someone wants to create the illusion of involvement in government agencies. Such people choose the serial numbers used by government agencies.

Some people believe in numerology. These car owners choose a number with their date of birth or “lucky” numbers, such as seven. Some people like the symmetrical arrangement of symbols - these are fans of “mirror mirrors” and identical numbers.

All expensive rooms can be divided into several varieties. The price depends on the popularity and rarity of the combination.

Letter combinations

According to GOST, twelve letters of the Cyrillic alphabet are used in the vehicle registration plate, the spelling of which corresponds to the Latin alphabet. These are A, B, K, E, T, R, X, U, M, S, N, O.

Some letter combinations are in particular demand:

1. Mirrored. Numbers in which the first and last letters are repeated. The simplest and cheapest. For example, a P600VR number from Krasnogorsk will cost you only 10 thousand rubles.
2. With words. Numbers whose letters form a word are much more valued: thief, tom, mouth, boor, etc. For example, the Moscow number V***OR is sold for 300 thousand rubles.
3. Identical letters. If all the letters of the number are the same, then it is listed on the license plate market. Price - 15-20 thousand rubles.
4. "Thieves." Separate group. Some number series are used by various government agencies. Each region uses different combinations. The most famous can be presented in the table:

There are a number of other letter combinations used by government agencies: AMP, OVE, AKR, VKR, SKR, SSS and others. Departments do not receive the entire series; some numbers remain for individuals. These GRZs are often put up for sale.

Apparently, buyers like to feel involved in the ruling structures, although having this number does not give any real advantage on the road.

Number sets

Numbers with repeating numbers. For example, 699, 455, etc. This is a cheap type of gas distribution device. Their cost starts from 10,000 rubles:

1. Mirrored. A variety of the first type. Numbers in which the first and last digits are repeated: 242, 161, etc. The cost varies within the same limits, but are slightly more popular.
2. Multiples of a hundred. These are numbers 100, 400, 500, etc. They are considered more expensive and attractive than mirror numbers, especially if the numbers match the make of the car, for example, number 500 for the Mercedes S500. Such a number will cost more - from 15 thousand rubles.
3. Numbers where the numbers match the area code. Some regions on the GRZ are designated with a three-digit code, so numbers on which the numbers match the region code are in demand.
4. Top ten. The first two digits are zeros, and the third is from 1 to 9. The combination 007 is popular. It is difficult to get such a number; the cost starts from 25 thousand rubles.
5. Same numbers. Popular with car owners. Such a license plate costs from 25 thousand rubles. And for combination 777 you will have to pay at least 75 thousand rubles.

It is worth mentioning separately the numbers of the “Premium” category, in which both letters and numbers match. They are found less frequently than all the others and, accordingly, cost more, starting from 195 thousand rubles.

Top 20 most expensive rooms in Russia

As we can see, the cost of rooms with the same characteristics can vary greatly. The key points when conducting a transaction to exchange numbers will be the greed of the seller and the taste preferences of the buyer.

Where to buy expensive numbers

It is not difficult to purchase a beautiful license plate.

It can be done:

1. Directly from another car owner. If you know a person who is ready to sell his license plate, then you can purchase a number from him through the purchase and sale of a car.
2. Through online platforms. As a rule, the purchasing method is similar to the previous one, only you communicate through an intermediary. Such sites provide legal support, so you don’t have to worry about the legality of the transaction.
3. Through a traffic police officer by giving a bribe. This is a dangerous and illegal method that is best avoided.

License plate

Before listing the list of cool numbers, you need to understand their types, since there are several types of signs on the road.

They can be different in color:

1. Reds . They are received by representatives of trade missions of other countries, or representatives of diplomatic missions. Consuls or ambassadors have these license plates. Their numbers are indicated by the letters CD. For trade missions, the letter T is indicated, and for diplomats, the letter D is indicated. In addition, the code of the state that the person represents is placed in front of the sign.
2. Blue license plates . They are owned by police officers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
3. Black . These numbers were created for military units, employees of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In this case, the numerical code on the sign does not indicate the region, but the military district or department.
4. White . They are issued to all regular cars owned by citizens. If there is a Latin T on the license plate, this means the car is being exported from the country.

If you look at the sign itself, it has a series and number. In addition, the region is also written down in a separate box. A series is a letter combination of symbols, and a number is its numerical expression. The region corresponds to the value in which the license plate was issued.

Also on the sign is the flag of our country and the designation RUS. If the car is not registered in Russia, then its sign will not have such a designation.

How to buy a beautiful number

According to the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated February 12, 2000 No. GKPIOO-75, the state registration plate of a car belongs to the state and is issued to the car owner for indefinite use. Therefore, GRZ cannot be bought or sold.

Procedure for re-registration of numbers

Cheap cars become donors

However, there are several legal ways to get the desired number:

1. Acquisition of a state sign through the purchase and sale of a car. You buy a car with the license plates you like. The license plates are removed and transferred to the traffic police for storage for up to 180 days. Then you get the next number plates for the purchased car and sell it back. Submit documents from your car to replace the GRZ with beautiful numbers, which are stored in the REO archive. Registration of all documents will cost 10-20 thousand rubles. 2. Similar to the first method, only the buyer and seller change places. The owner of an expensive license plate hands it over to the REO archive and receives another one. Then he purchases a car from the buyer, registers it with a nice license plate and sells it back. 3. Purchasing license plates using a donor car. The owner of a beautiful license plate registers it on the donor car and sells it along with the beautiful license plates to the new owner. Then follows the procedure for submitting the license plates to the archive and re-registering them for your own car. Then the donor car is returned to the previous owner. Or they don't return it. A cheap old car, for example a Zhiguli, is often used as the third. This method has fewer risks from a legal point of view.

• 555 - Numbers with 3 identical numbers, as well as letters that begin and end with two zeros, cost approximately $200-$600.

There will not be many benefits from such an acquisition. It’s just that in Moscow you may not be stopped at your post. And in the regions, traffic police officers, on the contrary, can specifically stop you to find out who is driving such a car. Very cool license plates for any car will cost approximately $700-1500.

• It is very difficult to obtain numbers in the format *777**77 or *999**99, since they show the prestige of the car owner. In the capital, drivers of cars with such signs are almost never stopped.

"I Eat As I Want"

• This way you can decipher the numbers of the series E***KX77, as well as 99. They belong to the FSO of Russia. State traffic inspectors forgive them everything.

It's all about the high status of such numbers; they are very difficult to acquire. However, there were cases when such figures were given for special services. Their cost is about 70 thousand dollars.

• The situation is simpler with the numbers X***KX77 and 99. They belong to FSB employees. They are very difficult and expensive to buy. You will have to pay approximately $40,000.
• The C***SS77 series numbers are available from the Special Communications Center. Cars with them are not stopped in Moscow and the region. You can buy them for $4,000.
• K***KK99 were originally created for Feldsvyaz. However, they never made money.

"Blue"

Recently, expensive foreign cars with police paint and blue police license plates have become very fashionable. You can buy such a service at a price of $20,000 to $40,000 per year. It is offered by the departmental security of Moscow.

Today there are about 300 such cars in Russia. And the main thing is that they drive completely legally.

Deputy leftist

Federal parliamentary numbers are the coolest. According to the law, the elected representative of the people, as well as a member of the Federal Council, can put it with flags on the car. But many do not do this, but sell such figures. The sale price can range from $20,000 to $30,000. They don't stop cars with them.

Most of the cool rooms can be seen in Moscow and the region. However, they are also found in the regions.

Where can I get a nice license plate for my car?

You can buy beautiful license plates, but they will be very expensive. The number of offers on the market is huge. At the moment, the State Duma is considering a project so that the sale and purchase of such figures can only be carried out at a special auction.

Where can you buy beautiful, cool numbers for your car today?

1. The most legitimate way is to purchase a car from an old owner that already has cool numbers. This method has long been practiced in many car dealerships. Car dealerships buy used cars with beautiful plates from their owners. After purchasing such a car, the new owner will need to re-register it by going to the traffic police with the former owner, as well as the original documents.
2. Buying cool numbers through the traffic police is illegal. Both parties will be held responsible for bribes.
3. Buying via the Internet is practically the same as repurchasing numbers from the owner. This method is quite common. Owners of cars with beautiful numbers create advertisements. And the buyers negotiate the deal.

Possible problems

When purchasing numbers, the following difficulties may arise:

1. Risk of running into scammers. They may sell you not the original number, but a duplicate, traveling with it is illegal. It is worth checking whether the purchased GRZ is linked to the VIN code of the car.
2. The car you are registering must be running, have a recent MOT and valid insurance. It’s worth checking this in advance so as not to incur unnecessary costs and waste time.
3. The category open in the license must correspond to the vehicle being purchased. If you have category “B” open, then you should not use a truck or bus as a donor. Problems may arise when registering a car.
4. There is a risk of losing your car. If you draw up a purchase and sale agreement without transferring money, then the buyer can appropriate the car. Using a donor car helps avoid this. Or is it worth conducting a full-fledged transaction.

The meaning of the letters on thieves' numbers

Not many numbers can be deciphered without difficulty. Most often, these are just successful combinations of letters that only a few may know about.

However, there are combinations to which people have assigned their own interpretation:

1. ERE - United Russia is coming;
2. LLC - a specially protected object;
3. NAA, NAA, HAA are “closed” machines in the databases. It is believed that some of these numbers were issued to people undergoing the witness protection program;
4. SSS quagmire.

Is it possible to get an expensive number for free?

Purely theoretically, all series numbers are issued by the traffic police in order, and anyone can become the owner of a beautiful alphanumeric combination. In practice, this rarely happens. GRZ, which can be sold at a high price, most often are kept by employees of the above department for themselves, friends or relatives. Perhaps they even sell it.

The media have repeatedly noticed that expensive license plates are on expensive cars. For example, RIA Novosti wrote that the first number of the series A001AA777 went to the owner of a luxury Mercedes. One should not discount the fact that an ordinary person, indifferent to the combination of symbols on his license plate, will most likely sell his number if he can get a significant amount for it.

Do cars need license plates?

Any car owner knows that even an ordinary person has the opportunity to buy himself a criminal number. The only question is the price, which varies depending on its beauty. As the availability of thieves' numbers has increased, they have somewhat lost their value. Too many owners of criminal numbers began to appear on the roads. Moreover, many of them are not related to government agencies.

So they no longer impress traffic inspectors. So is there any point in buying? It is worth purchasing them only for the purpose of decorating your own car. So if you don’t have a lot of money and special requirements, then purchasing cool government signs is not the best idea.
