Saving numbers in the traffic police through State Services: sample

Attractive license plates on cars have a high price, so car owners, even when changing vehicles, prefer to keep the same state plates. To do this, a corresponding application is submitted to the traffic police, and the process can be performed while visiting the institution or remotely. Saving numbers in the traffic police through State Services is possible if you have an identification account. But signs are stored only for a limited amount of time, so you need to quickly purchase a new car, otherwise you may lose a beautiful sign.

What documents are required?

If you plan to submit an application to save numbers through the portal, then electronic copies of the papers are prepared. Basic information about the car owner is entered during the registration process at State Services, so some information is added to the application automatically. The application form can be downloaded or filled out on the portal. To save the sign, you need the following papers:

a copy of the car owner's passport;
driver's license;
title documents for the car;
a correctly completed application;
PTS and car registration certificate.

Attention! Thanks to the portal, you save time, since you don’t have to visit the traffic police department twice, and you can immediately make an appointment at a government agency for re-registration.

How to leave license plates when selling a car

If during your last car registration the wheel of fortune smiled on you and you got “beautiful” license plates, or perhaps your registration plate is unremarkable, but has become like family to you, and you want to keep it and install it on a new vehicle after sale - our the instructions will help you figure out how to do this.

How to save a car number?

This is quite simple to do, but it will require you to spend a certain amount of time and additional money. Let's start with everything in order.

1. Application for saving registration plates (you can download it below) 2. Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, or another document 3. PTS (vehicle passport - a sheet where all the owners who owned this car are listed) 4. STS (registration certificate - laminated card) 5. OSAGO policy 6. Receipts for payment of state duties

The application itself is quite primitive and you should not have any difficulties filling it out. The only point I would like to note is that it would not be superfluous to make it in 2 copies, leave one for the traffic police officer, and the second for yourself - this manipulation will simplify your task of getting your old license plates for a new car when registering a vehicle.

How to leave a car number when selling it. Algorithm of actions

So, you have prepared a package of documents with an application to save your license plates - you can safely go to the State Traffic Inspectorate (you can pre-register there through State Services to save your time).

After you have submitted your documents to the inspector, he must check them, then inspect your car on the inspection platform and verify all the data.

A rather important point is that your license plates comply with GOST, that is, they must be readable and free from damage. If this is not the case, it is necessary to make a duplicate of the license plate number. After inspecting the car, the inspector confiscates your old license plates and issues new ones.

Old numbers are stored for no more than 180 days (6 months) . If during this time their owner has not purchased and registered a new vehicle, they can, quite legally, be issued to another car owner. It is worth noting that for all these procedures you must pay a state fee.

Amount of state fees when maintaining numbers

In order to leave the license plates when selling the car you will have to pay 2850 rubles. This amount includes: 2000 - for issuing new license plates 350 - for making changes to the PTS 500 - for a new registration certificate.

When you bring a new car for registration with the traffic police, you will no longer have to pay for the left numbers, and the amount of state fees will already be 850 rubles.

Shelf life

Before depositing the license plates with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate through State Services, it is recommended to study the terms during which representatives of the institution are required to preserve the signs.

How to save car license plates through State Services step by step

The Government Services portal was created to simplify the interaction of government departments with ordinary citizens. Actually, this electronic resource does not independently provide the necessary services, but acts as an intermediary, redirecting requests to the right authority. With the help of State Services, car owners were able to submit applications to the State Traffic Inspectorate.

Among other things, vehicle owners can submit applications to the traffic police with a request to retain the license plate number when selling the car. The reasons for this vary: some are accustomed to the old numbers and do not want to part with them. Other citizens are the owners of “beautiful” signs and do not want to transfer them along with the car they are selling. To keep your old license plates, you will need to submit a corresponding application to the traffic police. The easiest way to submit it is through the State Services portal.

Authorization on the site

Only users who have passed the authorization procedure can access the services provided by the site. Step by step it looks like this:

The list of services available to the user depends on the authorization level. In total, “State Services” provides for four of them: one for organizations, and three more for individuals. The first, simplified level, makes it possible to obtain reference information and pay some fines through the website. For simplified authorization, you need to enter your full name, contact phone number or email. Users who have a personal account of the second, standard, level can request various certificates from government agencies through the portal, submit complaints and suggestions online.

Can it be transferred to another person?

It is allowed to change state signs for money, but using an unusual method. Therefore, many people sell beautiful numbers for a certain fee. Standard sales are prohibited, so you have to re-register along with the car. To do this, the following scheme is implemented:

the license plate is transferred for storage to the traffic police;
according to the documents, a car is purchased that belongs to the purchaser of the signs;
the citizen registers the car using the existing license plates, which are stored in the traffic police;
Afterwards, the car with license plates is transferred to a new person.

Attention! There are many intermediary companies in every city that offer re-issuance services for beautiful state signs for a low fee.

What problems arise

There are situations when people lose beautiful state signs, so the following recommendations are taken into account:

Before handing it over to the traffic police, it is recommended to make sure that the license plate has no serious defects, damage or abrasions, since even if there are rust stains, you will have to get a duplicate;
it is impossible to preserve signs in the presence of a ban on registration actions that are imposed by bailiffs as part of enforcement proceedings, so debts are initially repaid;
when seizing a car, you cannot perform any registration actions;
if there are unpaid traffic fines, then car registration is prohibited;
a person loses state signs if he does not apply for them within 360 days.

Therefore, before transferring the numbers to the traffic police, it is recommended to make sure that there are no problems or obstacles.
