Procedure for obtaining an insurance policy

Now let’s look at how you can apply for an MTPL policy through the State Services website. Having an account provides this opportunity. The first step is to log in to the portal. The existing login and password are quite suitable for this.

The next stage is choosing an insurance company

On the tab with the service catalog, you need to go to the “Transport and Driving” subsection, then “Electronic Insurance” and select “e-OSAGO”.

It should be noted that if there is no electronic insurance in the window with the catalog of services, it means that the personal information on the personal page has not been completely filled out and the missing data must be entered.

An insurer is selected from the proposed list

Here difficulties may arise due to technical failures on the websites of organizations, which, as a rule, are organized by these companies deliberately in order to force you to contact them personally. At the same time, the insurance company gets the opportunity to sell additional services that could be dispensed with by purchasing a policy online. You need to choose a company with a properly functioning service and proceed directly to purchasing MTPL.

In the proposed window, enter data from the following documents:

• civil passport;
• vehicle documentation;
• driver's license.

After checking the information with the insurer's service, you need to pay for the services. This can also be done online. When the amount is transferred, the information provided will be entered into the RSA register, and you will receive a notification about the activation of the policy by email. It is recommended to carry the purchased MTPL with you in printed form, because in the absence of this document, in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 12.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, penalties may be imposed by road service workers.

Attention! In order to avoid misunderstandings with traffic police representatives, when driving, you must carry printed car insurance with you.

After completing the contract online, it is very important to check the correctness of the data entered in the RSA register, because if there are discrepancies, problems may occur if checked by a representative of the road service.

How long does it take to prepare the policy and when can you pick it up?

The application is processed within a short period of time. Users usually spend up to half an hour on the procedure.

Important! But if the applicant does not have a personal account at State Services, then the waiting time may increase. This is due to the fact that all procedures are carried out using a verified account. It takes up to 15 calendar days to confirm your identity.

An electronic policy is issued immediately after registration. Within 15 minutes, the citizen will receive a completed document by email.

How much does the policy cost?

When visiting the portal, no additional payment is required. There is no state duty. A policy issued via the Internet will cost the same as a regular one.

You can determine the cost of insurance using the calculator on the insurance company website. After entering all the information, the system will reflect the cost.

You can pay for insurance using a payment instrument of any bank or wallet in electronic systems. When the payment goes through, the application is considered approved. The completed policy will be sent along with a memo and a receipt for payment by e-mail.

Possible problems

When registering online, there are some problematic issues:

1. If an insurance policy is purchased for the first time. Owners of new cars face this. They will not be able to obtain insurance online. This is due to the fact that there is no information about the vehicle in the RSA database. In this case, you will need to personally visit the IC office and hand over a complete package of papers.
2. A citizen may not have a personal account on the State Services portal. You will need to register and confirm your identity. This can be done through the MFC, official representatives, or receive a password by mail.
3. There have been problems with the websites of insurance companies. You need to repeat the procedure after some time.

It is not possible to apply for compulsory motor liability insurance directly on the State Services portal. But with the help of a personal account, a citizen confirms his identity on the insurance company’s website.

What options are there for registering OSAGO online?

As already mentioned, the electronic version of compulsory motor liability insurance is no different from the usual one in terms of its effectiveness, only when registering it you do not need to visit the insurance organization, but you can do everything at home yourself using the Internet. Let's consider the order of such a purchase:

• decide on an insurance company and log into its online portal. When choosing a contractor, you need to take into account its pricing policy, reliability and the extent of payments for obligations, having analyzed the ratings of insurers. The difference in prices for the same machine in different organizations can vary by up to 25%, so you first need to calculate the cost of the services offered;
• register on the website and create a personal account. Personal information is indicated, including passport information, email address, etc. If registration is successful, you will receive a password to enter your personal account in the form of an email;
• A computer application form is filled out to obtain auto insurance. To do this, you will need to use data from your passport, driver’s license, document confirming the completion of a technical inspection, or car registration certificate. This statement is practically no different from the usual one when applying for a policy at the insurer’s office. The only difference is that there it is filled out by a representative of the insurance company, but in this case you have to enter the information yourself;
• insurance must be paid. Payment is possible through any bank card by non-cash transfer of funds. After this, a message with the purchased MTPL policy will be received by email;
• a printout of the policy so you can have it with you. Having this document in electronic form will help to avoid many problems, for example, if the electronic database of an inspecting traffic police officer malfunctions. In addition, the Traffic Rules in paragraph 2.1.1 of the second section require the driver of the car to have a compulsory motor liability insurance policy.

When the information is entered, it is reconciled by the insurer with that presented in the electronic PCA database. If any discrepancies are identified, the client will be asked to provide scanned copies of documents confirming the right of the car owner.

If an insured event occurs, the owner of the car may be subject to additional compensation if there are errors in the system. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check the data entered into the electronic database with the actual data to eliminate possible errors, which could be costly in the future.
