Checking a car by state number is an extremely desirable procedure for every driver who does not want to buy a "pig in a poke". Its purpose may not necessarily be to protect against fraud, but also to get acquainted with the real condition of the car.
There are several ways to trust a car:
- on the traffic police website;
- directly in the traffic police department;
- on the Autocode portal.
As for the registration of the car with the traffic police, it is a prerequisite for the operation of the vehicle on the territory of the Russian Federation. As a result of the procedure, it is assigned a state number, and all information about the vehicle and its owners is entered into a special database.
The car number must be placed on the front or back. Its absence or the use of a vehicle with deliberately contaminated signs is an administrative offense.
GIDD official website
Everyone can find data on the car on the traffic police website. The portal is convenient and easy to use. Moreover, here you can find out the history of the car for free. The online service operates around the clock, seven days a week, which makes it extremely popular among users.
First you need to go to the site itself, and go to the "car check" service.
We see the field for data entry:
And, unfortunately, we discover for ourselves the absence of the possibility of checking precisely by the registration mark. But do not despair and try the following methods.
Visit to the traffic police department
The second method is more time-consuming, since for this you will have to drive the car to the traffic police site and ask the inspector to check with the available documents if there are any restrictions that may cause the vehicle to be registered. Of course, this procedure is quite time consuming.
Checking through the online service
"Autocode" checks a car by the number of the car and by the wine code. Practice shows that you can break through a car and find out its history in a matter of minutes.
The service is paid, but its cost is purely symbolic. You can get a full report by paying an amount of 349 rubles.
On the network, I found a video example with a detailed analysis of the capabilities and advantages of this service, both in front of the traffic police website and in front of other similar services.
Video example
Who usually requests information by car number?
Usually a car check by state number is carried out for:
- companies selling used cars;
- citizens who want to buy a used car;
- owners of car repair shops and parking lots;
- sellers who want to prepare a complete package of documents for the buyer.
The vehicle will be checked according to the traffic police database, since it is there that all the detailed information about the car and the data of each former owner of the car are stored. The traffic police provides everyone with free access, since the vigilance of former and potential owners can significantly reduce the number of offenses associated with the sale of equipment.
What can you find out using the traffic police base?
How to check a car by state number, and is it worth punching it at all? If we are talking about making a purchase in a car dealership specializing in the sale of used cars, then it is not necessary to "bother" with this question. Such commercial structures usually order a full check of the cars offered by the client for ransom themselves, therefore they are ready to provide the potential buyer with the results of the checks.
If we are talking about purchasing a vehicle from a private person, then it makes sense to contact the traffic police. How to break through a car, go to the nearest branch or use the online service, there is no difference. In any case, it will be possible to learn about the existence of various prohibitions on the machine, which can be imposed by such authorities as:
- judicial;
- investigative;
- customs;
- social protection.
The car may be on the wanted list or be prohibited from changing ownership, which also makes its purchase and subsequent re-registration illegal.
As for the technical condition, which makes it possible to determine the approximate timing of the need for maintenance, such information is also available from the road inspection. Data on technical inspections and recording of road accidents involving cars are also entered into the database. This greatly facilitates the process of determining the technical state of equipment, simplifying the work of a specialist conducting diagnostics.
Useful information is also information about all the former owners, which can also be found out using the car's license plates.
