When purchasing a car, each car owner goes through the registration procedure with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, pays a state fee of 2,000 rubles and receives a personal state registration plate, license plate, or car number. Apart from the fee, you do not have to pay anything for this service. However, the semi-legal sale of GRZ is thriving on the Internet. The most expensive license plates for a car in Russia cost at least 3-5 million rubles.

Each number is unique and consists of three letters and numbers in one field, which indicate the series and number of the car plate. The other field contains the region code. Naturally, symmetrical, beautiful combinations of symbols attract the attention of motorists. You can purchase them on online platforms. Direct purchase and sale is not permitted by Russian law, but there are ways to circumvent the rules.

List of special numbers

• A-AA - persons who serve in the state security.
• V-AA - heads of the presidential administration, presidential assistants, presidential press secretary, his authorized representatives, etc.
• A-AB are members of the Government of the Russian Federation, assistants, heads of federal services and various federal agencies.
• A-AS - deputy chairmen of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russia, members of the Federation Council.
• A-AO - First Deputy, Chief of Staff of the State Duma.
• A-AM - State Duma deputies.
• A-AK - Deputy Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Russia.
• A-AR is the highest official.

Beautiful numbers

Not the coolest car owners have nice numbers on their cars. The cost of beautiful numbers is from 50 rubles. up to 600 dollars. It has become easier to get them - the question is money.

• 555 - Numbers with 3 identical numbers, as well as letters that begin and end with two zeros, cost approximately $200-$600.

There will not be many benefits from such an acquisition. It’s just that in Moscow you may not be stopped at your post. And in the regions, traffic police officers, on the contrary, can specifically stop you to find out who is driving such a car. Very cool license plates for any car will cost approximately $700-1500.

• It is very difficult to obtain numbers in the format *777**77 or *999**99, since they show the prestige of the car owner. In the capital, drivers of cars with such signs are almost never stopped.

"I Eat As I Want"

• This way you can decipher the numbers of the series E***KX77, as well as 99. They belong to the FSO of Russia. State traffic inspectors forgive them everything.

It's all about the high status of such numbers; they are very difficult to acquire. However, there were cases when such figures were given for special services. Their cost is about 70 thousand dollars.

• The situation is simpler with the numbers X***KX77 and 99. They belong to FSB employees. They are very difficult and expensive to buy. You will have to pay approximately $40,000.
• The C***SS77 series numbers are available from the Special Communications Center. Cars with them are not stopped in Moscow and the region. You can buy them for $4,000.
• K***KK99 were originally created for Feldsvyaz. However, they never made money.

"Blue"

Recently, expensive foreign cars with police paint and blue police license plates have become very fashionable. You can buy such a service at a price of $20,000 to $40,000 per year. It is offered by the departmental security of Moscow.

Today there are about 300 such cars in Russia. And the main thing is that they drive completely legally.

Deputy leftist

Federal parliamentary numbers are the coolest. According to the law, the elected representative of the people, as well as a member of the Federal Council, can put it with flags on the car. But many do not do this, but sell such figures. The sale price can range from $20,000 to $30,000. They don't stop cars with them.

Most of the cool rooms can be seen in Moscow and the region. However, they are also found in the regions.

Where can I get a nice license plate for my car?

You can buy beautiful license plates, but they will be very expensive. The number of offers on the market is huge. At the moment, the State Duma is considering a project so that the sale and purchase of such figures can only be carried out at a special auction.

Where can you buy beautiful, cool numbers for your car today?

1. The most legitimate way is to purchase a car from an old owner that already has cool numbers. This method has long been practiced in many car dealerships. Car dealerships buy used cars with beautiful plates from their owners. After purchasing such a car, the new owner will need to re-register it by going to the traffic police with the former owner, as well as the original documents.
2. Buying cool numbers through the traffic police is illegal. Both parties will be held responsible for bribes.
3. Buying via the Internet is practically the same as repurchasing numbers from the owner. This method is quite common. Owners of cars with beautiful numbers create advertisements. And the buyers negotiate the deal.

Confrontation: deputies do not agree with the traffic police

Representatives of the State Traffic Inspectorate have repeatedly proposed legalizing the sale of “nice” license plates for cars, as this is necessary to combat corruption among employees. In 2010, regulations were developed and submitted for consideration regulating the holding of auctions for the sale of license plates for vehicles. However, they were not accepted: the deputies considered that the same service cannot be valued at different amounts.

In 2011, the head of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, V. Fedorov, submitted to the State Duma the bill “On the registration of vehicles,” according to which car owners have the right to independently choose the alphanumeric designation of the license plate. Disagreements arose among the deputies: some agreed with the project, others proposed introducing an increased state duty for “beautiful” license plates. The bill was adopted in the first reading, but did not go further.

This law has many supporters, but there are also those who oppose its adoption.

Petr Shkumatov, member of the public council of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, popular blogger: “This system needs to be simplified, motorists need to be given the opportunity to choose the numbers they like. Otherwise, resellers will buy these numbers at auctions. They are the only ones who will say thank you because their task will be easier.”

On August 4, 2021, the Federal Law “On State Registration of Vehicles” comes into force, but it does not contain a clause on the official issuance of “beautiful” license plates. So lovers of elite rooms will still be able to purchase them only secondhand.

A survey among the population “Is there a need for a bill allowing the sale of “beautiful” license plates” showed:

• for - 68%;
• against - 32%.

The traffic police leadership is confident that the bill is necessary. When will the deputies understand this?

Problems when buying cool numbers

If you have enough money and can afford to buy a beautiful room, you should be prepared for the main problems that arise when making a transaction.

It should be understood that:

1. In order for a car to be registered, it must be running. If you buy a car that has an overdue inspection, you will have to spend extra money to get the inspection done. Ask the owner of the car to perform a technical inspection before selling it.
2. Do not purchase buses, trucks or other vehicles that do not qualify for your license. Indeed, in this case, you may be refused to register your car.
3. Be sure to check the availability of the MTPL policy. To register a car, you must have a valid MTPL policy.
4. A cool number must be original. It must not be a copy, otherwise it may be confiscated along with the car. Be sure to check its connection to the VIN code. This way you can find out what license plate the car is actually registered with.

Do cars need license plates?

Any car owner knows that even an ordinary person has the opportunity to buy himself a criminal number. The only question is the price, which varies depending on its beauty. As the availability of thieves' numbers has increased, they have somewhat lost their value. Too many owners of criminal numbers began to appear on the roads. Moreover, many of them are not related to government agencies.

So they no longer impress traffic inspectors. So is there any point in buying? It is worth purchasing them only for the purpose of decorating your own car. So if you don’t have a lot of money and special requirements, then purchasing cool government signs is not the best idea.

Types of license plates

Registration license plates can have one of 5 colors. Some of them talk about the privileges of a motorist and carry information about belonging to departments of a government structure.

1. Red license plates are installed on vehicles that belong to a trade mission of a foreign state or diplomatic mission. The Latin letter D on the license plate means that the car belongs to a diplomatic mission. The letters CD are on the license plates of the cars used by the ambassador or consul. The letter T is the sales representative's car. The numbers before the letters are the country code.
2. Blue license plates belong to police vehicles and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
3. Black license plates are installed on vehicles of military units, formations of the Ministry of Defense, units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, FSB, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On this vehicle, the numbers do not mean the region code, but the military district or department to which the car belongs.
4. License plates are white. Installed on all regular cars. If there is a letter T on the left side of the sign, it means the car is being exported from Russia.

The meaning of the letters on thieves' numbers

Not many numbers can be deciphered without difficulty. Most often, these are just successful combinations of letters that only a few may know about.

However, there are combinations to which people have assigned their own interpretation:

1. ERE - United Russia is coming;
2. LLC - a specially protected object;
3. NAA, NAA, HAA are “closed” machines in the databases. It is believed that some of these numbers were issued to people undergoing the witness protection program;
4. SSS quagmire.

MOSCOW

EKH77 - numbers allocated for vehicles of the Federal Security Service (FSO) of the Russian Federation. A common version of the decoding of such a set of letters is a story once presented in the Autopilot magazine. According to it, wanting to add a new AAA series to the FSO already assigned, the head of the service, Yuri Krapivin, turned to Boris Yeltsin, who was then the President of the Russian Federation. Together they chose EKH as an abbreviation for “Yeltsin + Krapivin = Good.” The official decoding is considered to be “a single Kremlin economy.” There is another option that has taken root among the people - “I eat as I want.” Nowadays this series can be seen rarely.

EKH 99, EKH 97, EKH 177, SKA77 – Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.

ХКХ77 – partially FSB license plate, partially sold out.

AMP97 - the series was formed as a result of the struggle with a large number of special signals. These criminal numbers were issued to cars that, regardless of ownership, retained the right to use blue lights (with the exception of AAAFL). Thus, part of the series belongs to the FSB, part to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and part to other structures, for example, the presidential administration.

AKR177, VKR177, EKR177, KKR177 were also issued to those who were subject to the abolition of the use of blue car flashing lights. From the last two episodes, private traders probably got something.

EPE177 - about 300 issues served as a replacement for the “flag” of the State Duma. People's decoding: “United Russia is coming.”

LLC77, 99, 97, 177, 199 - now for the most part private owners and businessmen.
