Alerts about traffic police fines today can be set up via SMS, email or online on official websites.
Novice drivers don’t often think about how unpleasant it is to find out at the wrong time that they have been fined. Few of them have any idea what a fine notice looks like and what to do with it. And this is an important question. If you suddenly missed this piece of paper and did not pay on time, then not only will you still have to pay, but also double the amount. Or even end up under arrest.
Typically, 60 days are allowed for payment. If the driver has not received notifications of traffic police fines on his phone and does not have time to pay within this period, this is a real violation of the law. You will have to pay double the amount (Article 20.25 of the Administrative Code). And some risk earning 15 days of arrest.
Both bailiffs and traffic police inspectors have the right to detain the defaulter. And after this, the driver is immediately sent to the traffic police department for investigation. Then he is given another receipt for payment or assigned corrective labor (up to 50 hours). Administrative arrest is resorted to if the driver turns out to be a willful defaulter, with debts of a large amount, or if he evades a previously imposed punishment.
The solution is simple - in the 21st century, it is very easy to connect an alert about traffic police fines via SMS and stay informed of all sanctions.
There is simply great news for violators. If you receive a prompt notification that sanctions have been imposed on you, you will have time to pay within 20 days. If you do this, you will only be charged half of the amount written out. It's worth setting up messages about penalties for traffic violations!
How to enable SMS notifications
The first method is simple: if you have already violated the rules, request a one-time notification of traffic police fines via SMS, they arrive as needed. This is done by sending a free SMS message to phone 7377, in it you should write: “fine77av123456”, where the alphanumeric code is the STS number. An alternative option is text, where instead of it is the driver's license number.
It is possible to receive SMS messages about traffic police fines free of charge on an ongoing basis.
You can subscribe to receive information that you have been fined without asking:
- by sending the same message with the STS number to phone 7377, as indicated above, but first adding the word “STS”;
- by writing the same message to the same recipient, but indicating the license number in it, and at the very beginning write “VU” instead of “STS”.
This service is free.
You can unsubscribe from the mailing list by sending a similar message to the same address, adding the word “Stop” in front of it. But if you consider how the traffic police notifies about fines, after unsubscribing, it makes sense to immediately find another way to find out information about penalties in a timely manner so as not to be late in payments.
Checking fines via Yandex online
Thanks to the new application from Yandex, tracking outstanding fines is extremely simple.
The system itself will notify the driver about the existence of a debt, as well as the validity period of the payment discount. In addition, this service provides significantly more opportunities for tracking fines.
Here's how you can find out about your debt:
- by car number;
- with photo;
- on a driver's license;
- by resolution number.
Each of these methods allows the vehicle owner to track collections in any way convenient for him.
By car number
To check outstanding fines by vehicle number, unfortunately, the Yandex Fines system will not be relevant. If only the car number is available for verification, you can use other resources that the search engine offers.
To do this, you need to go to the company’s website or the official Internet resource of the traffic police. To identify, you must enter the following data:
- vehicle number;
- registration certificate number.
It is worth noting that the traffic police database is updated every 24 hours, so the data provided may differ slightly from the current state. For payment through the resource, a discount is provided for the first 20 days, the amount of which is 50%.
In response to the request, the service produces one of the following results:
This alert appears when you have entered incorrect information that is required to complete the test.
- there are no records of offenses in the database;
Such a notification means that there are no fines for the current car number.
- information is recorded.
The appearance of such an information message means that the car has unpaid fines.
If there are penalties, the following information must be provided:
- number;
- date of commission of the offense;
- article of the Administrative Code;
- details of the person who completed the protocol;
- date and number specified in the resolution;
- amount to be paid.
On the traffic police website, as well as on other resources, you can pay off the fine online.
With photo
Photo recording of violations on the roads is very often resorted to, however, at the moment, not a single online resource offers payment of fines by photo.
Motorists can only receive an image taken with special equipment in which the offense is recorded.
Photo tracking helps:
- make sure that the fact of the offense took place;
- make sure that a fine is issued for your car;
- protect yourself from scammers;
- determine who was driving at the time the offense was committed.
To receive a photo, the vehicle owner must enter the same data as to track the fine, namely:
- vehicle number and or driver's license;
- vehicle registration certificate.
Additionally, the system requires entering a phone number and email.
With a driver's license
All Yandex users can pay and check fines using their driver's license number. To perform this operation, you need to follow the following algorithm:
- Click on the bottom of the screen in the “Yandex Online” tab;
- in the toolbar that appears, select “Traffic Police Fines”;
- fill out the form provided;
- click the “Check” button.
The application will automatically gain access to the database of the state information system about payments and the car owner will see:
- date of imposition of penalty;
- sum;
- payment period.
It is worth noting that when repaying through this system, there is also a 50% discount if payment is made within the first 20 days.
By resolution number
Many motorists receive “chain letters” by mail that have nothing to do with real offenses and acts of traffic police officers.
The notice of imposition of a fine contains the following information:
- Full name of the person who violated the rules;
- registration address;
- date, month;
- time of commission of the offense;
- article confirming responsibility for this act.
Additionally, a photo from the scene of events is attached.
To check the reality of such a document, you can use the State Services portal or other resources. On Yandex, unfortunately, checking solely by the resolution number is impossible. The verification is carried out using the GIS GMP database.
If the data cannot be found in the official database within a few days, you should contact the traffic police. This state of affairs is possible in two cases:
- The resolution was entered into the database with an error.
- The resolution is fake.
If the decree was made by scammers, then, of course, it is not worth paying for it.
Through Yandex services, you can check the authenticity of the resolution by first entering the driver's license number and the car registration certificate. The program will display all current penalties issued by the competent authorities.
Do I need to check the information somewhere else?
The first way is to subscribe to notifications about traffic police fines on State Services. By clicking on the “Notifications” link in your personal account, you should link your mobile phone to your account on the site. And be sure to download the application to your phone and allow notifications to notify you, then they will be displayed automatically and duplicated by SMS messages.
To receive similar push notifications, you should download the official application “Fines of the State Road Safety Inspectorate” to your mobile phone. Before receiving fines on your phone, you will need to consent to notification in the application settings.
If it is more convenient for you to pay through the Sberbank.Online application, you can check information about penalties there. For this:
1. At the bottom of the main page of the application, find the “Payments” button.
2. In the menu that appears, select the “Transport” line.
3. A new list will appear on the screen, find the line about traffic police penalties in it, click on it.
4. Two lines will appear, select the one that says “Search”.
5. In the window that appears, enter the VU number and STS number, click the “Search” button at the bottom of the screen.
If these methods do not suit you, there are other options other than receiving notifications of traffic police fines by email, SMS or government services. The same can be easily done on the official website of Sberbank. In the same way, the presence of penalties is checked using the Yandex.Money service. It is not necessary to register there, but if you already have an account, this method may be the most convenient.
For Muscovites, everything is even simpler - the check is available on the Moscow Mayor’s website mos.ru.
At any convenient time, it is easy to check the presence of sanctions on the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate - traffic police.rf. On the main page, in the menu at the top of the page, select the “State Traffic Inspectorate” button, and in the drop-down menu, select the line with the check. You will need to enter your vehicle number or driver's license number.

How to set up SMS notifications about traffic police fines?
› Auto fines
Laws related to the regulation of traffic rules are experiencing all sorts of innovations, which the ordinary driver often finds out about too late. This entails that the driver learns about his violation only when the traffic inspector applies penalties to him.
Today, fines amount to more than one thousand rubles, so you always need to be prepared. And to prevent such unpleasant situations from happening, you need to know how to receive notifications of traffic police fines via SMS and be aware of what is happening.
System for receiving notifications of fines
Previously, the situation was like this: if you violated traffic rules, the traffic inspector drew up a report and received a fine. Today things are different. Due to the large number of cameras and video cameras on the highways, the driver may not even suspect when and where he broke the law. Fines recorded by cameras are sent by mail.
To avoid trouble, every driver must know the system that starts working when he commits an offense on the road:
- within three days from the time the violation of the rules was recorded, the State Traffic Inspectorate sends a letter;
- a photograph must be attached to the protocol, which confirms the fact of the violation;
- the letter is sent to the owner of the vehicle at his place of residence, and it makes absolutely no difference who was driving the car;
- letter of receipt - registered;
- the addressee must receive the notification within 7 days.
To avoid all this, you need to figure out how to connect an alert via SMS about a fine to your mobile phone.
Why is it more convenient to receive notifications by phone?
In the modern world it is difficult to find a person who does not have a mobile phone. For this reason, the state decided to link traffic police fines to mobile phones, and send notifications of violations in the form of SMS.
Every day this system is gaining more and more popularity.
Having this service on your phone, you can always have information about the latest trends in changes in traffic rules, learn about your own violations that are recorded by video surveillance, as well as about the fines received.
How to connect a government services website
You will not be able to receive notifications about fines if you do not have internet. You need to register in the gosuslugi.ru system.
Next, in your account, in the “My Data” section, you need to enter information about yourself.
You will also need information about your car. To enter them, you need to go to the “Vehicles” section by clicking on the “Add Vehicle” line and enter data in all the proposed fields.
There is also an option to receive information on a tablet. You just need to mark the line about sending push notifications. It is possible to receive notifications on such a device if the specialized “Government Services” application is loaded on it.
Such an application is even more relevant given the fact that payment for non-compliance with the rules within twenty days comes with an incentive - a reduction in the size of the fine by exactly half.
Email and fines
Legislation keeps up with the times, and since almost everyone uses the Internet, drivers are provided with information about fines by e-mail. You can configure this section on the State Services website by selecting the email notification box in your account.
How much will it cost to connect the application and notifications?
Connecting to the service itself is free, and the cost of receiving and sending messages depends on the tariffs of your cellular operator. But in any case, you will spend less money than if you were charged a late payment penalty.
If you have received news of a fine and you think it is unfair, you should seek professional legal help.
We use the phone
There are 3 main methods to pay debts using your phone:
- via the website;
- by sending a special SMS;
- through a special application “RosStrafi”.

The procedure for receiving notifications from the traffic police about administrative penalties
Federal Law No. 210-F3 of July 27, 2010 (Article 21.3 Part 4) obliges government and other institutions to immediately send information about payments that should go to the budget to the GIS GMP payment system.
Only after this condition has been met will you be able to receive information about fines via SMS and email from various online services, as well as a letter by mail from the Traffic Police Department. This requirement of the law must also be observed by traffic police officers after a decision on an administrative offense has been issued.
As soon as the data on the fine enters the GIS GMP, you can already find out about it through online services by indicating the numbers of the vehicle registration certificate and vehicle registration plates.
Some services require a driver's license number.
Traffic police fines by email
The SMS message provided by Internet services usually contains only brief information about the payment, without details. The SMS almost never indicates the details for paying the fine and the circumstances under which the recorded offense occurred.
Also, not everyone likes receiving unpleasant information about fines on their mobile phone. There are people who find it more convenient to calmly check their email inbox in the evening and find all the necessary information there.
Previously this was not possible, but now such a service already exists.
It is most convenient to use the above-mentioned government services portal. To set up notifications via email, you must also register. You must fill in all vehicle identification information. The registration number is fundamentally important; the brand name can be anything. Next, you need to request to receive the information service by email. Messages will be sent to the address specified during registration.
