Is a technical inspection required when changing license plates?

Many motorists are hesitant to keep their old license plates because they believe that they will have to undergo tedious vehicle inspection procedures. You should not succumb to this misconception, because according to the law, a change of license plates occurs only on the basis of documents, and a vehicle inspection is not required .

Thus, you should not waste time and money on a technical inspection if the license plate is given for storage until you buy a new car. However, you need to pay attention to the collection of documents and the process of submitting the application to the traffic police.

How to transfer to a new vehicle

Since the signs are stored in the department for 360 days, you can make an application to receive them again at any time. To do this, follow these steps:

• The vehicle is re-registered to the new owner through the portal according to the standard scheme, for which an electronic application is initially filled out;
• duty is paid at a discount;
• Next, you need to write an application for receipt of old signs, which are stored in a specific traffic police department;
• at the appointed time, the citizen comes to the traffic police to inspect the car, after which he is given an STS, PTS with adjustments, as well as signs.

Attention! By law, every citizen can keep their license plates or choose new ones.

How to correctly transfer license plates from an old car to a new car?

When a new car is purchased, you need to re-register it and assign previously saved numbers to the car. To do this, you need to proceed according to the following scheme:

1. Collect a package of documents. You need to have an identity card, PTS, STS, DKP, OSAGO, as well as saved car license plates with you.
2. Visit any department of the traffic police MREO. You must have previously prepared documentation with you.
3. Write an application requesting to register the car. You can fill it out and pay the State duty with a 30% discount on the State Services website. The form can also be obtained from the MREO. Attention, in the paragraph on assigning new license plates (usually paragraph 6), indicate the information “numbers are not required.” Additionally, the application must reflect a request to assign old license plates to the car; to do this, notify the inspector orally and he will independently put a mark with your saved license plate.
4. Pay the state duty. Since new license plates will not be assigned to the vehicle, there is no need to pay for their issuance, as was the case previously.
5. Get your car inspected. The procedure is carried out at the State Traffic Inspectorate site.
6. Receive a new STS and PTS with changes (if the PTS is electronic, receive no document, printouts or receipts are not issued), then install your license plates on the purchased car.

Can it be transferred to another person?

It is allowed to change state signs for money, but using an unusual method. Therefore, many people sell beautiful numbers for a certain fee. Standard sales are prohibited, so you have to re-register along with the car. To do this, the following scheme is implemented:

• the license plate is transferred for storage to the traffic police;
• according to the documents, a car is purchased that belongs to the purchaser of the signs;
• the citizen registers the car using the existing license plates, which are stored in the traffic police;
• Afterwards, the car with license plates is transferred to a new person.

Attention! There are many intermediary companies in every city that offer re-issuance services for beautiful state signs for a low fee.

What problems arise

There are situations when people lose beautiful state signs, so the following recommendations are taken into account:

• Before handing it over to the traffic police, it is recommended to make sure that the license plate has no serious defects, damage or abrasions, since even if there are rust stains, you will have to get a duplicate;
• it is impossible to preserve signs in the presence of a ban on registration actions that are imposed by bailiffs as part of enforcement proceedings, so debts are initially repaid;
• when seizing a car, you cannot perform any registration actions;
• if there are unpaid traffic fines, then car registration is prohibited;
• a person loses state signs if he does not apply for them within 360 days.

Therefore, before transferring the numbers to the traffic police, it is recommended to make sure that there are no problems or obstacles.

Termination of registration with the traffic police upon refusal of a car

8. Registration of a vehicle is terminated at the request of the owner in the following cases: ... 8.6. Refusal by the owner of the vehicle of the rights to the insured property, or in the case of replacement of a vehicle recognized as a product of inadequate quality.

Termination of registration of a vehicle in connection with the renunciation of the owner of the vehicle from his rights to the insured property in the event of its damage (destruction) in order to receive an insurance payment or in connection with the replacement of a vehicle recognized as a product of inadequate quality is carried out on the basis of a contract (agreement), providing for the waiver of the rights to the insured vehicle by the policyholder in favor of the insurer or the return of the vehicle to the seller.

The registration rules indicate a list of situations in which it is possible to deregister a car.

From October 6, 2021, 2 new situations have been added to this list:

• Refusal of the car in favor of the insurance company. We are talking about a situation where, as a result of an accident, the car was seriously damaged and its restoration is not economically feasible. In this case, the insurance company fully compensates for the cost of the car, and the car itself is taken over.
• Return of a vehicle recognized as a product of inadequate quality. Few car owners know that the Consumer Rights Protection Law allows you to return the car to the seller, just like many other goods. This case is discussed in a separate article on pddmaster.ru.

Note. From January 1, 2020, you can stop registering a car simply at the request (upon application) of its owner; no additional reasons are required for this.
