Power of attorney for registration of a vehicle with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate from a legal entity

Most organizations have their own transport, which is used for the needs of managers, cargo delivery and other official purposes.

However, to legally travel on Russian roads, any car must be registered with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate.

If the vehicle belongs to an organization, it is registered by proxy.

The reason is that only the manager has the right to represent the interests of a legal entity without this document, but he is not able to take personal part in all areas of the company’s activities.

Let's consider what kind of power of attorney is needed to register a vehicle with the traffic police from an organization and what powers it gives.

The powers that the document gives

Any vehicle receives the right to participate in road traffic only after registering it with the State Traffic Inspectorate . The procedure is carried out by the owner of the vehicle. But in some cases, the owner cannot do this personally for a number of reasons. The law allows accounting actions with vehicles by proxy.

A power of attorney for registering a car with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate is a confirmation of the transfer of authority to a third party, who receives the opportunity to carry out all registration actions, after which the rights and obligations arise to the owner of the vehicle. The principal and third party can be both physical and legal entities.

Documents confirming the registration of a car (or other vehicle), executed with the participation of an authorized person, are issued in the name of the owner who issued the power of attorney.

What is a general power of attorney for a car and how to formalize it correctly.

Power of attorney to drive a car.

On the basis of a power of attorney received from the owner, a third party represents the interests of the principal without his participation in the registration authorities.

The document gives the right to perform the following actions:

• Registration of a vehicle purchased at a car dealership , imported into the territory of the Russian Federation, assembled independently or imported into the Russian Federation temporarily for a period of at least 6 months;
• Changing data when purchasing a used car , processing design changes, obtaining new license plates, registration documents, movable property passports if they are lost or have become unusable;
• Upon sale of a car or theft - termination of registration;
• Deregistration for removal of a vehicle outside the country or for its disposal.

To obtain information certificates from the MREO regarding the registration and re-registration of a car, as well as to appeal the actions of a traffic police inspector through a third party, a power of attorney from the owner will be required.

The rights to carry out registration activities can be specified in a document granting the right to drive a vehicle to a third party.

What is it for?

A document on trust of rights is drawn up so that a person does not have to attend the inspection in person. The authorized representative independently represents the interests.

If you urgently need to get to the traffic police, but the person is abroad, or there are other reasons why a personal visit is not possible, a power of attorney is issued. It should be remembered that the document is drawn up in writing, certified by the signature of an authorized person and issued only to one citizen to exercise rights.

Decor

A simple written power of attorney does not give authority to complete a sale and purchase transaction or exchange, or to use a vehicle as collateral.

The document must indicate the passport details of the owner and the intermediary, detailed details of both parties: registration and actual residence addresses, a list of powers granted, signatures.

Information regarding the vehicle must contain:

• model name and brand;
• body color;
• release date;
• information about PTS;
• license plate;
• body and engine numbers.

When filling out, you must indicate the date of the power of attorney and its validity period, which by default is 1 year, and is limited, if necessary, to a maximum period of 3 years. For prompt communication between the MREO specialist and the owner, the latter’s contact number is indicated.

If an MREO specialist refuses to carry out registration procedures, while requiring a notarized power of attorney, you should receive written explanations according to which the authorized person is denied authority.

Document form

To avoid mistakes in drawing up a written power of attorney, it is recommended to use online resources and download a ready-made form.

The paper presents the data in the following order:

1. City and date of document execution.
2. The details of the two parties are in strict accordance with the passports.
3. Car data: make, body type, color, etc.
4. Places of registration and residence of both parties (for enterprises - location).
5. Delegated powers (a complete list of them) relating directly to the vehicle.
6. Validity period of the document. Default is 1 year. The period cannot exceed a period of 3 years.
7. If the principal considers it possible to transfer powers from the intermediary to another entity, he mentions this in a separate paragraph.
8. Personal signature of the parties to the agreement (or the head of the enterprise and the authorized representative).

Execution of an agreement by a legal entity

Legal actions in the interests of a company without a power of attorney are available only to its director.

Registration of a car purchased by a legal entity can be performed by an individual (company employee) only with a power of attorney. The document is certified by the management of the company with the signature of the director or administrative authorized group.

To transfer rights to an individual, the company’s management issues an appropriate order that regulates the need for these measures.

The power of attorney specifies:

1. Organization, address and location of the head office.
2. Organization details.
3. Passport details of the head of the company.
4. Reasons (order number and date).
5. Full name, passport details, position in the company of the authorized person.
6. List of powers.
7. Place of registration and other actions (you can specify the exact address and number of the traffic police department).
8. Restrictions, if any.
9. The validity period of the power of attorney (by default, legally, it will be 1 year).
10. Director's signature. The presence of a seal imprint is not a necessary measure.
11. Place and date of drawing up this paper.

Sample document:

Who can be an authorized person to register a car with the traffic police?

Here the legislation practically does not limit the principal. Any capable citizen who has reached the age of majority can represent his interests. It can be assumed that this must be a person who is of sound mind and is aware of his actions. It is worth noting that a private person can act as an attorney. And it doesn’t have to be a relative. In fact, such responsibility can be assigned to absolutely any person, including an outsider.

An entire company can represent the interests of the car owner. It is rare, but it still happens that the owner entrusts the registration of his equipment to any organization. The company can also act as a principal. In this case, an employee is usually appointed as the attorney. Such a power of attorney is signed by the manager, who appoints the responsible employee. Although the law does not prohibit the director of a company from issuing a power of attorney to a person who does not work here.

How to correctly draw up a power of attorney to register a car

There is no special form for such a power of attorney. However, it is hardly necessary to draw up such a serious document in a simple form. Still, it is recommended to adhere to a certain pattern. The usual document structure looks like this:

• Title of the document, date and place of preparation;
• Information about the party who issues the power of attorney. This can be either an individual or an organization. In the case of a company, you need to enter the passport details of its director;
• Information about the vehicle. They should be as complete as possible so that, looking at this document, you can identify the car without any problems;
• Below you need to enter information about the authorized person. The details of his passport and other information are indicated;
• The powers vested in the attorney are indicated. In this case, “vehicle registration” is prescribed;
• The period during which the attorney can present this document;
• Signatures of the parties.

One of the most common mistakes is the lack of a date of compilation. But without it, the power of attorney will be considered invalid. For example, if the principal did not indicate the validity period, then it will automatically be equal to one year. Naturally, the countdown begins from the moment the power of attorney was issued. If there is no date of compilation, this cannot be done.

Of course, if you wish, you can have the document certified by a notary. Many people call this a waste of money and time. Although, if the principal wants to protect himself as much as possible from unlawful actions of the representative, he has the right to contact a notary office. The document must have two copies. One of them is handed over to a trusted person, the second remains in the traffic police department.

There are no special filling requirements. The main thing you need to pay attention to here is the error-free entry of information. It must correspond to the information in official documents. You should try to enter the data as clearly as possible. Unreadable information may cause the traffic police officer to invalidate the document.

Registration procedure

A power of attorney for the right of registration is not the only document for carrying out relevant activities. In addition, you will need a package of documents to register a vehicle without the participation of the car owner:

1. Power of attorney.
2. Russian citizen passport.
3. A document giving the right of ownership of the vehicle to the owner (purchase and sale agreement, donation agreement, etc.).
4. Intermediary passport.
5. OSAGO policy.
6. PTS and STS.
7. Receipt or confirmation of payment of state duty.
8. Application on a special form (filled out at the MREO).

For legal entities you will need the following documents:

1. Certificate of acceptance and transfer of the vehicle. ().
2. Registration certificate.
3. Stamped registration application signed by the intermediary.
4. For branches of the company, documents are required: an order from the central office, a certificate of registration with the tax authority, regulations on the branch, a power of attorney for the head of the branch and a representative of the traffic police.

To carry out accounting activities, the vehicle must be inspected at a special viewing platform.

• If it is not possible to provide the vehicle for inspection on the day of registration, you can present a report to the traffic police from the expert organization that conducted the inspection.
• The MREO will need to fill out a number of documents. When registering and carrying out other registration activities by proxy, all documents are filled out by a proxy.

A written power of attorney for registering a car greatly simplifies the registration procedure for both private and legal entities. The availability of online applications allows you to use ready-made sample documents and download forms to fill out.

Power of attorney to pick up a car from an impound lot - sample

A car may end up in a parking lot when a violation of traffic rules necessitates the driver being removed from driving the vehicle. And if, for example, after an accident, the owner of the vehicle cannot pick up the car on his own, or he is deprived of his driver’s license, and no one else is included in the MTPL policy, the way out of this situation will be the ability to transfer to someone the authority to receive the vehicle from the impound lot.

Such a document can be considered as a sample power of attorney to represent the interests of an individual in the traffic police. Regardless of whether the document is in writing or the power of attorney form is printed on a computer, it must contain the following information:

1. The word “Power of Attorney” is written at the top. Immediately below it you need to indicate the locality where the document was drawn up and the date in words.
2. Next, you need to write that the car owner (his full name and passport details are indicated), with this power of attorney to represent the interests of the person in the traffic police, authorizes the attorney (you also need to write your full name and passport details), for example, to drive the car, own and use it during the period while the power of attorney is in force, perform all necessary actions related to the powers assigned to him.
3. It is necessary to indicate the state registration number, make, model, engine, body and frame numbers, year of manufacture, passport details and vehicle registration certificate.
4. Below is the validity period of the power of attorney to represent the interests of a person in the traffic police and the possibility or impossibility of entrusting powers to a third party.
5. The document is signed by the principal and the attorney. A power of attorney to represent a person’s interests at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate must be certified by a notary.

Procedure for receiving a car

In order to be able to drive a vehicle from a parking lot, the attorney must have with him when visiting it:

1. A permit from the traffic police giving the right to pick up the car from the impound lot, that is, a copy of the protocol that served as the basis for the evacuation of the car with a note that the reasons for the evacuation have been eliminated.
2. Russian citizen passport.
3. Documents confirming the ownership of the vehicle.
4. A valid MTPL insurance policy in your name.
5. A power of attorney certified by a notary to represent the interests of a person in the traffic police with the inclusion in the list of powers of the right to receive a car from a parking lot.
6. Vehicle registration certificate.
7. Car keys.
8. Driver's license.

After reviewing the submitted documents, the parking lot employee will issue a receipt for payment for the evacuation and storage of the vehicle and will lead you to the car. It will be possible to pick it up only after payment of the receipt.
