What additional documents do you need to have with you?

Russian Traffic Police official website
In addition to the STS, check that you have the following documents:

1. A driver's license corresponding to the category of the vehicle.
2. A technical inspection certificate or, more recently, a diagnostic card. You can obtain this card from an accredited vehicle inspection operator. The card contains a list of identified and corrected faults; it is also the basis for issuing a compulsory motor third party liability insurance policy.
3. OSAGO insurance policy, insurance is mandatory and the absence of a policy may entail, at a minimum, an administrative penalty. When registering with the traffic police, you generally cannot do without a policy; they simply will not accept it. You must also carry the original policy with you and present it to traffic police officers upon request.
4. A power of attorney (certified by a notary or handwritten by the owner, which must include his signature and date of execution) if you are not the owner of the vehicle. According to the new law, it is enough that the driver is simply included in the MTPL policy.

What are the differences between PTS and STS

The main difference between two motor transport documents - a technical passport and a certificate of registration with the State Traffic Inspectorate - can be noted not only in the conceptual apparatus, but in their functional purpose, appearance, and practical application.

For example, a certificate is always used where it is necessary to check the registration number with the data entered into the database for the car and the owner.

This database is owned by government inspection, control and other services:

• traffic police departments (where it is formed);
• tax authorities;
• Traffic police and employees, having with them a mobile terminal and a validator;
• MREO - especially when opening an additional category;
• Department of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Internal Affairs - when it comes to crimes listed under criminal articles;
• bailiffs;
• and even insurers.

Therefore, anyone who has access to the traffic police database can check such a parameter as a car’s license plate number. The main differences and similarities can be presented in a separate table.

Common features should also be highlighted so that documents can be compared with a full range of information:

STS Love

STS Love

is a Russian entertainment television channel that began broadcasting on February 14, 2014. STS Love is aimed primarily at a youth audience; it was created with the goal of attracting those viewers who were lost by the STS TV channel during structural changes on the channel (primarily due to changes in the target audience of STS):

Initially, the channel broadcast only on cable and satellite networks, as well as via IPTV and OTT. However, in September 2014, CTC Love received licenses for terrestrial broadcasting in several regions, which allowed the channel to bypass the advertising ban on paid channels.

The channel's broadcast network is mainly compiled from the STS archive library (Daddy's Daughters, My Fair Nanny, Kadetstvo, Ranetki, Closed School, Don't Be Born Beautiful and other series). For the first three years of broadcasting, the channel also broadcast reruns of programs from the Domashny and Muz-TV TV channels. Since the fall of 2015, the channel has been broadcasting entertainment programs of its own production. Among them are the TV magazine “#LoveStyle”, the reality show “One Day with MBAND” and “Bride for MBAND”, “Terrible Love”, “Fashion Police”, “Hearts for Love”, the entertainment and educational program “”. Cartoons and foreign television series were also broadcast.

At the beginning of the 2017/2018 television season, the channel carried out a rebranding: in addition to updating the cross-program design, the number of programs of its own production (the most famous at the moment is the TV game “Sarankhae”), foreign series and animated series has increased. Thus, the channel hosted all-Russian premieres of the Czech animated series “Bob and Bobek”, the television series “Heidi” and “Peerless”, as well as the screening of the anime “Sailor Moon” in its own voice acting.

On October 23, 2014, the TV channel won the “Golden Ray” award in the special category “The Brightest Start.” In March 2018, the channel received gold at a competition in the field of television promotion, design and marketing - Promax BDA Europe Awards.

The television channel is not an independent legal entity; all programs of its own production are created directly by order of STS JSC.

How to find out STS number

The registration certificate number is indicated on the front side below. The series and number are also placed on the top of the back.

If the vehicle passport or certificate is lost, it will be easier to restore the documents using the number.

If you don’t have a vehicle passport or other documents, but you need to find out the number, you can try to find out the certificate number using state numbers.

Such information may be necessary if the driver caused an accident and fled. The victim goes to court, but only knows the license plate number of the culprit.

Then it is possible to find out the number and series of the STS, as well as additional information. But it is necessary to submit an official request to the police. If there are no compelling reasons to receive this kind of information from the traffic police, a refusal will come.

The STS series and number can be viewed on online resources. Some of them are paid, but you can also find free versions.

By PTS number

How to find out the STS number from the PTS? It is not difficult. The series and certificate number match up to the last digit with the PTS number.

Since the numbers are the same, it is not necessary to carry your PTS with you all the time.

Also, using the PTS, you can quickly restore a lost STS. You just need to contact the traffic police, present the car and its passport.

A car may be needed, since sometimes it is necessary to verify the VIN and other individual vehicle numbers.

Why are the numbers the same? This way the traffic police checks the information on the car faster.

STS number confidentiality

Where can a stranger see the STS number of a car? And can he, without having the documents for the car in hand, find out the details for it?

But you need to know:

• such information is not made publicly available;
• the reliability and relevance of such information remains in doubt (most likely, this data is long outdated, or it is fake).

Checking a car using STS

You can find out the car number by the vehicle registration certificate number on the website www.gibdd.ru in the “Vehicle check” section.

You need to enter the VIN number, you can also check the car using the STS, while requesting the registration history from the traffic police. Here you can see whether the driver of this car was involved in an accident, and whether the vehicle is wanted. On the FNP website you can find out whether the car is pledged.

If your PTS is lost

You need to write a statement at the nearest traffic police department. This is necessary so that the finder or the thieves do not have time to use the document to obtain a loan, drive a stolen car, or provide the vehicle as collateral according to the documents.

Afterwards the car owner will receive a notification coupon.

Now he is protected from various suspicions, even if illegal actions using a stolen car or PTS are revealed.

For restoration, you must personally provide an STS, a civil passport, and an MTPL insurance policy.

The new passport will have a new series and number. After changing the PTS, you will have to change the STS to ensure that the numbers in both documents are identical.

You will have to pay 350 rubles for issuing a new STS, and 500 for changing your PTS.

If all documents are lost

You should not always carry all documents with you. The process of document recovery will be long and troublesome. First you need to restore your civil passport.

Then you should go to the traffic police, the insurance company and restore the documents in order:

• PTS;
• vehicle certificate;
• driver license;
• OSAGO policy;
• maintenance ticket.

If a car was also stolen along with all the documents, you will have to call the police and follow the procedure recommended by law enforcement officers.

Recommendations:

• have copies of PTS, STS, which will help restore documents in a short time;
• do not leave a case with documents in the back seat of the car (theft can be committed even while stopped at a traffic light);
• keep folders with documents in the glove compartment or other secluded place;
• always take your documents with you, even if you leave the car for a short time;
• do not leave a bag with documents on a store counter or a chair in a cafe;
• do not continue driving the vehicle if the documents have been stolen or lost.

If your documents are stolen, call the police immediately. Documentation is usually restored after the criminal case is closed. Until closing, the driver can use duplicates.

This ensures a faster check of the car by traffic police officers and easier restoration of the vehicle if the car owner loses it.

The document number is on the front and back sides. Often used to determine information about a car or its owner.

No corrections are made to the document. The evidence changes completely. You can change the document at the nearest traffic police department.

What information is contained in the documents?

Both documents - PTS and STS - contain a number and a state seal. The following data must be entered into the PTS and STS:

• VIN code. The identification code consists of 17 characters of Latin letters and numbers.
• Maximum permissible weight.
• Vehicle type, trademark and model.
• Engine capacity permissible for operation.
• Net mass. Minimum vehicle weight without additional load.
• Power. Reflected in horsepower and kW.
• Engine license plate.
• Year of manufacture of the vehicle.
• Chassis number (if available).
• Data from the owner’s passport (full name, year of birth and other information).

We invite you to watch a video about what is contained in the vehicle passport:

Criticism

• Despite the fact that during the terrorist attack on Dubrovka on October 23-26, 2002, instead of traditional entertainment programs, STS broadcast an emergency news broadcast with Andrei Norkin, during the hostage crisis in Beslan in September 2004, when terrorists seized a school in southern Russia and more 330 people died as a result of gunfire and explosions, STS broadcast another episode of “Charmed.” Recently, during the days of national mourning, the TV channel has been trying to make adjustments to the airwaves, removing entertainment programs from the broadcast schedule.
• Sergei Mayorov, according to him, in recent years of working on the “Stories in Detail” program, has repeatedly encountered censorship.
• STS is positioned as an exclusively non-political channel, but, nevertheless, before the presidential elections in the Russian Federation at the beginning of 2012, the TV channel launched the sitcom “The Eighties”, which, according to the Communists of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, promoted a negative attitude towards the USSR, which caused their negative reaction .

What is the difference?

The differences between PTS and STS are the different information contained in these documents. It is better to visually reflect the difference in information in the form of a table.

It is also important to note that only one owner of the car can be reflected in the STS; the vehicle registration certificate is replaced every time the owner of the car changes. In the PTS there are up to 6 people depending on the number of owners, and replacement is not required when there is a change of owners. The exception is when there is not enough space in the PTS for a new entry.

How does PTS differ from STS?

A vehicle passport (PTS) and a vehicle registration certificate (VRC) are two different documents.

The PTS is the main document for the car, which is not strictly tied to the current owner of the vehicle. It lists the technical specifications as well as all – including previous – owners of the car.

PTS allows you to find out how often a car was sold, how many owners it had, how long a particular person owned it.

The STS is issued in the name of the current owner; no information about previous owners is indicated in it. The certificate confirms that the car is registered to the person indicated in the document.

Why do we need PTS and STS?

STS confirms that the car is legally registered with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and the driver has legal grounds for using it.

“STS is required to register a vehicle. It contains all the information about the car, its permitted load, ownership, environmental class and, accordingly, about all numbered units.

PTS is a document that is required only for registration with the traffic police.

Without a vehicle passport, it will be impossible to register a car with the traffic police,” says auto expert Alexander Meltsev.

Unlike the PTS certificate, you can keep it at home; it is not required by traffic police inspectors when checking documents. You must always carry the certificate with you along with your driver’s license. Without it, you may face a fine of 500 rubles or the car being towed to an impound lot.

Who issues PTS and STS?

The PTS is issued by the manufacturing company if the car was produced in Russia, in the case of a foreign car - by the customs service. In case of loss or damage to the document, the PTS can be obtained from the traffic police department. STS is issued by the local traffic police department during registration.

The vehicle passport is passed from hand to hand every time the owner of the car changes. When ownership is transferred, the document is submitted for re-registration to the State Traffic Inspectorate, where the surname, first name and patronymic of the new owner are entered into it. Information about the previous owner is marked with a special seal and a note stating that the car no longer belongs to him.

STS is confiscated upon sale. The new owner receives a new certificate.

Relationship in car documents

• 
  Both the vehicle passport and the STS always have the Goznak seal, have security holograms, as well as watermarks. Issued on government letterhead.

• During the issuance of PTS and STS, these documents are assigned the same number and series. They are issued simultaneously for the convenience of filling out databases.

Thanks to this, if a traffic police officer has questions during the detention of a car, you can check the presence of unpaid fines and the history of the car purchased second-hand. This is done by entering the number or series of PTS, or STS, into the search bar of the database, if the owner has any of these documents with him.

• PTS and STS can be obtained at every traffic police department, but PTS are received here only in case of loss or damage to the document.
• In case of loss or loss of proper appearance as a result of long-term use of PTS and STS, the owners need to replace the documents. You also need to replace your papers if you have changed your last name or place of residence.

Obtaining a certificate for a used car

When purchasing a used car, you must also register in accordance with the established procedure. An application to the traffic police and provision of documentation received during the acquisition is required. Receive a new certificate for the car as follows:

• submit documents for the vehicle;
• required papers: PTS, car registration certificate, passport of the future owner, application, as well as receipts for paid fees;
• internal authorities will check the vehicle for criminal history;
• diagnostics of documents, visual inspection, verification of engine and body numbers are in progress;
• after some time, a new registration certificate is made and adjustments are made to the PTS;
• After the purchase, new insurance is issued to the new owner.

Information contained in the certificate of registration

The certificate includes information about the vehicle and its owner. This is necessary to create an effective base of car owners, monitor sales taxes, and so on. List of basic data:

• state registration license plate of the vehicle, changing during registration (not always);
• VIN number;
• vehicle make/model, body type (sedan, station wagon);
• year of manufacture, model, engine and chassis number (if any);
• engine power (Kilowatts and horsepower), working cubic capacity of the engine;
• permissible and curb weight;
• series/number of the passport of the owner of the vehicle entered into the police database.

Concept and features

Both documents are printed on government forms, protected from forgery by holograms and watermarks.

Passport

The vehicle passport contains information about the technical characteristics, model, color of your vehicle, as well as its owners (if you bought the car on the secondary market), dates of registration and deregistration at MREO offices. PTS forms are produced at Gosznak, they have their own number and are subject to strict reporting. The registration certificate is filled out at the MREO office at the place of registration for the following vehicles:

• Passenger cars;
• trucks;
• buses;
• trailers of trucks and cars, registered separately from the “main” vehicle;
• chassis included in the vehicle kit.

Fill out the blue registration form:

• MREO employees based on documents provided by the owner;
• customs inspectors, if the vehicle is imported from abroad;
• Manufacturer's employees responsible for registration if you purchase a vehicle, chassis or trailer directly from the factory.

PTS is a very important document that proves your right to own a vehicle. Thanks to him:

• The accounting of vehicles approved for operation is organized and controlled;
• employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can monitor and prevent illegal actions;
• Customs inspectors monitor the environmental friendliness of cars imported into our country.

Certificate

The registration certificate (CRC) also indicates the characteristics of the vehicle, as well as information about the owner entered into the document on the basis of the owner’s passport. Such duplication of information about the owner in the PTS and STS serves to create an up-to-date database about the owners and allows you to track the facts of the sale of the vehicle.

We will talk further about what is the difference between PTS and STS, and what is more important.
