Features of obtaining numbers and EPPS
With the introduction of electronic PTS, the registration procedure has become even easier. If the car is registered EPTSNo paper document is issued.

If you buy a car in the same region where you are registered (the region code on the numbers coincides with the code of your residence permit), you can leave old numbers or get new ones directly to the traffic police. If the region of registration of the owner and the code on the numbers are different, the traffic police will issue only documents (STS and entry in the PTS), and the "iron" will need to be manufactured from a private manufacturer that has a license.

What to do if the numbers are not read?
If the inspector on the site finds that the numbers are rusted or deformed so much that the symbols are not readable, you will be given a referral for replacement. Old signs are disposed of, and new ones are made at the ownerโs expense.
If the old signs do not meet the standard (for example, the old sample or with a non-standard fastening), they will have to be replaced with new ones, even if the region code is the same.
Possible reasons for refusal of registration
Despite careful preparation, registration may be refused. This is most often due to technical errors or data inconsistencies. The system may not find information about CTP in the database if the insurer has not yet had time to transfer data, or reveal a discrepancy in the VIN code specified in the application and in the PTS.
The reason for refusal may also be the presence of restrictions on registration actions. They are imposed by bailiffs in case of debts from the previous owner. Check the car for restrictions can be in advance on the website of the FSSP or through special services check the car.

โ ๏ธ Attention: If the refusal is received due to the limitations of bailiffs, it will not be possible to remove them quickly. Registration will be possible only after the previous owner has paid off the debt and the ban has been lifted.
