Is it possible to check traffic police fines based on the owner's last name?
No, for verification you need the registration certificate (CTC) and driver's license numbers. If you don’t have your license at hand, then STS will suffice.
Find the STS number at the top of the pink card:
The license number is on the back of the document:
Enter the vehicle registration number in the “Car number” field and the STS number in the “Registration Certificate” field. If there is a license number, add that too. Also enter your email address so as not to miss messages about new fines:
Check by last name
When developing a search system at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, they considered the possibility of creating a database of individuals that would provide information by the driver’s initials, including by last name. However, this idea was abandoned, since in this case anyone could, having the license plate number of the car and knowing the name of its owner, find out about his debts.
In addition to the fact that such a verification scheme does not guarantee any confidentiality or protection of a person from any blackmail, it can also be unreliable, since almost every driver has several namesakes. Besides, by what name should you look up traffic police debts if the car was driven by a person who was driving it by proxy?
The problems described above when checking by last name are far from being fully listed; there are many more of them, which is why other systems have been developed. The presence of debts in them is verified on the basis of documents to which a limited number of persons have access:
- driver's license;
- resolution number;
- vehicle registration certificate.
What else do you need to online check traffic police fines by last name?
To check fines, you need a license plate number, STS number and license number. We explain why this data is needed.
The STS number is used by the traffic police inspector when he issues fines based on photographs from the camera. The police officer checks the STS number with the identity of the car owner and signs the order. In order for the fine to be found during the check, enter the 10-digit STS number.
the driver's license number when he personally stops the driver on the road and draws up a report. To find such fines, enter 10 numbers in the license field.
The individual registration number of the car is needed so that the service links the check to a specific car number. If there are several machines, it will be easy to switch between them during the next checks.
Passport details are not needed. They are not used to search for fines.
The resolution number is not needed. The paper decree itself will be useful if you do not have a certificate of registration at hand. The resolution almost always indicates the STS number - this is enough for verification.
The order number is not important for verification. Find the STS number in the document - you can use it to find out your fines
Why is it impossible to check traffic police fines by last name, first name and date of birth?
The driver may not have been the owner of the car. For example, a driver runs a red light and an inspector notices this violation. He will stop the car, ask for a license, compare the photo with the driver’s appearance and issue a violation report. In this case, there is no doubt about who exactly violated.
If such a maneuver is noticed by a camera, only the car data will be sent to the Automatic Crime Recording Center (CAFAP): license plate number, model and make. The owner of the car will receive a fine, although his brother or friend could be driving. It is impossible to check a fine by last name, because the cameras focus on the license plate number.
The full name and date of birth are the same for many citizens of the Russian Federation. Last name, first name and patronymic are not unique - there are complete matches. In this case, an innocent person could receive a fine. To avoid confusion due to coincidences, the traffic police focuses on the number of the registration certificate (STS) - it is unique.
Full name is publicly available. Passport data often appears in documents, correspondence, even on social networks. Usually only the owner of the car or his friends have STS and license numbers. It is difficult to steal this data and find out information about fines.
Payment of fines by last name, first name, date of birth with a discount
You cannot find and pay fines using your name and date alone. To do this, you will need STS and license numbers.
Deadlines for payment of fines with a 50% discount. The discount is given to those who paid the fine in the first 20 days from the date of the decision. The date of the decision can be viewed when checking fines.
When the discounted payment period ends, the driver will have another 40 days to pay off the fine.
What fines can be paid at a discount? Almost all traffic fines can be paid at a discount. But there are exceptions:
- the driver got behind the wheel of a car again without registration or without technical inspection;
- was drunk or handed over the steering wheel to a drunk;
- repeatedly exceeded the speed limit by more than 40 km/h within a year;
- ran red again;
- re-entered the oncoming lane;
- repeatedly drove in the opposite direction on a one-way road;
- caused slight or moderate harm to the health of another traffic participant;
- refused to undergo a medical test for intoxication;
- drank alcohol after an accident.

How to challenge a fine based on your full name?
Traffic police fines by resolution number
It is difficult to challenge a fine based on your full name or any other traffic fine, but it is still possible. Last but not least, the favorable outcome of your quest for the truth will be influenced by your region of residence, persistence, and the situation itself, which you consider unfair.
In large cities, there are several ways to challenge a speeding fine (including speeding fines from traffic police cameras).
- By contacting the operator of violation recording devices
- By contacting the traffic police
- Through appeal to the judiciary
In any case, it is important to know that the fine can be appealed within 10 days. If we are talking about a judicial appeal against fines, the document is submitted to the judicial authority at the place where the alleged offense was committed
A sample of your future application is usually available both in the courts and in the traffic police.
It is extremely important that the complaint be written briefly, succinctly and meaningfully, and that it is based on real facts, confirmed, if not by experts, then by photographs and any other documents.
Conclusion
In modern realities, checking and paying traffic police fines is a simple action that is not associated with calls to the traffic police and screening out long queues in offices closed for lunch.
Services at the “Staff Traffic Police Fines” level will determine all types of fines imposed on both the driver and the cars he is driving and will facilitate their repayment in a couple of clicks using a bank card.

Advantages of online checking of traffic police fines through State Services
The relevance of the question of how to check information about traffic police fines on the State Services portal is explained by the obvious advantages of this method of searching for information of interest to the driver. The most significant of them should be considered the following:
- prompt entry of information about fines and payments made;
- official status of the information provided by the site;
- the opportunity to both find out the debt and pay it directly on the government services website;
- a minimum set of requirements when registering on the portal, the fulfillment of which is sufficient to obtain data on traffic police fines;
- An effectively working technical support service for the State Services website, which allows you to quickly receive advice and assistance by phone, e-mail or chat in your personal account.
How to find out debt on the bailiffs website
Information about the fine reaches the bailiffs only if it is not paid within the first 70 days from the date of the decision. If this deadline has not yet expired, just check and pay the fine - it should not reach the bailiffs yet.
If 70 days have passed, it is worth finding out the debt to the bailiffs. Go to the verification page, indicate your region and passport information: full name and date of birth.
If there is a debt to the bailiffs, the system will indicate the amount and date by which it must be paid. If there is no debt, the system will also report this.
Fines by last name – is this possible?
As we said earlier, in 2021 it is no longer possible to check and pay a classic traffic police fine based on the name of the car owner. This contradicts logic, laws on the protection of personal data and the peculiarities of the market for the provision of information services.
However, if the traffic police fine is very overdue, data about you may go to the Bailiff Service. We told you how to look up expired traffic police fines by name on the FSSP website for free in the relevant sections of the site. in short, on the official website of the department it is possible to check the traffic police fine at the later stages of debt using a minimum set of data.
However, it is difficult to be happy about the presence of such a “life hack”. A traffic police fine that has reached the bailiffs means that the car owner has big problems with the law. His license could be taken away, he could be imprisoned for 15 days, and not be allowed to go abroad. In addition, the function of paying fines on government websites is not fully implemented; you will know about the fine by indicating your last name, and to pay you will again have to resort to options with VU and STS numbers. By the way, we also describe the neighboring situation with searching for traffic police fines by car number.
Remember
- It is impossible to find out traffic police fines by last name. To do this, you need STS numbers, license and state number.
- It is impossible to check fines only by full name, because most fines are recorded by a camera, not an inspector, and the camera focuses on the license plate number. Moreover, this would lead to errors: the citizen’s name is not unique and is generally known.
- You can pay the fine with a 50% discount in the first 20 days from the date of the decision.
- If you do not pay the fine in the first 70 days, it will go to the bailiffs. You can check the debt on the bailiffs website using your full name, date of birth and region.

There are many car drivers who want to find out whether they have debts on traffic police fines by name. Today such information is only by full name. It is impossible to obtain, except from the resource of the Federal structure of bailiffs, but even on this service, in addition to the last name, you need to enter the applicant’s date of birth.
On other services, you can obtain information about debts on penalty charges by entering data comprehensively:
- FULL NAME. car owner.
- Driver's license details.
- Vehicle registration details.
Thanks to this approach to requesting information, the confidentiality of the car owner is maintained, since full name. The applicant's name may coincide with many surnames of other citizens.
Receiving information in combination with full name. and driver’s license details or vehicle registration details ensures reliable confidentiality, since such data is known to a narrow circle of citizens. This is done to prevent attackers from using such information to blackmail or create a negative opinion about the debtor driver. And if you enter only your full name, then on unofficial sites you can find out if there are fines, but many people with the same last names will be displayed on the screen.
