The data in the table are given for example and correspond to standard tariffs for individuals. For legal entities, the rates may differ.
Frequent mistakes and ways to solve themOne of the common problems is the discrepancy between the data in the insurer database and the data entered by the user. This is often due to typos or delays in updating insurance companies’ databases after the policy is issued. If the system says that the policy is not found, but you have a valid document on hand, try entering the data manually, without using autocomplete, or wait 24 hours. In extreme cases, you can contact the insurance company to clarify the correctness of the information they entered.
⚠️ Note: If you bought a car with license plates from another region, the law obliges you to change them only if you want to keep the old plates for yourself when changing the owner (which is impossible without a special statement for preservation) or if they do not comply with the new GOST. In other cases, you have the right to drive with old numbers, but the CTC will indicate a new region code of your residence permit, which is technically impossible without replacing the license plates themselves. Therefore, when changing the region, the registration of the owner of the number, as a rule, change.
Another common mistake is trying to register a car with a ban on registration actions. Such restrictions are imposed by bailiffs for the debts of the previous owner. Check the car for restrictions on the official website of the FSSP or through special traffic police services before purchase. If the ban is imposed after the conclusion of the contract of sale, but before the registration, the new owner will still not be able to register the car until the previous owner solves his problems.
Users often forget about the deadlines. The registration of the vehicle is given 10 days from the moment of signing the contract of sale. Exceeding this period threatens with an administrative fine. For individuals, the fine is from 1500 to 2000 rubles. If you repeatedly violate the deadlines, the fine can be increased, and in the case of driving an unregistered car, additional difficulties may arise when stopping by a traffic police inspector.
Keep the Sale Agreement for at least 3 years. It is the only document confirming the date of purchase of the car and your right to own it in case of disputes with the tax or traffic police.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to register a car through the State Services if the seller and the buyer have different regions of residence?
Yes, you can. The place of registration of the owner does not affect the possibility of submitting an application through the portal. You can choose any convenient traffic police unit for inspection and obtaining documents, regardless of where you are registered. However, if you want to keep the old license plates, and they belong to another region, you will be given a CTC with your region code, but the numbers themselves will remain old (if they are in good condition and comply with GOST). The CTC will indicate the region code of your residence.
What to do if the system writes "Error check policy OSAGO"?
This error means that the database of the RCA (Russian Union of Auto Insurers) does not find the policy on the entered data. Check the correctness of the series and the number of the policy (letters and numbers), make sure that the policy is already activated by the insurance company (sometimes it takes several hours). If the data is correct, contact the insurer. Without a successful policy check, continue to issue an application through Public services It won't work.
Do I need to print out a statement from the public services?
No, you do not need to print the completed electronic application. All the data is already in the traffic police system. The inspector will see them on his computer when checking. You just have original documents and, if desired, a receipt for payment of the state duty (although it is checked electronically).
Is it possible to save old numbers through the state services when buying a used car?
The application for the preservation of numbers is submitted by the seller (current owner) before the transaction. The buyer cannot “retain” the seller’s numbers in his name under the standard re-registration procedure. If you want to leave old numbers on the car, the seller should not hand them over to the traffic police. When registering, you simply indicate in the application that you want to receive new documents with the previous registration plates. However, if the region of the code on the numbers does not coincide with the region of your residence permit, you will be given a CTC with your code, but the numbers will leave the old ones. You can ride with them.
