Entering the state number of the car in the check field on the site RSA (Russian Union of Auto Insurers)You receive not only confirmation of the existence of a valid CTP policy, but also data on its validity, insurance company and driver restrictions. However, if the system is making an error "Polys not found." or the data do not match the paper form presented, this may mean forgery, delay or technical failure. In 2026, fraudsters are actively forging electronic policies using real car numbers, so standard verification through PSA is not enough.

The problem is compounded by the fact that fake policies are often visually indistinguishable from the original ones: the same watermarks, series and form number, even a QR code can be read. But in case of an accident, such a policy will not cover the damage, and the owner of the car faces a fine of up to 800 rubles per vehicle. st. 12.37 RF Administrative Code. To avoid risks, you need to cross-check data on at least 3 sources: the RSA database, the Public Services portal and the mobile application. "Autocode" or "GIBD fines".
