A vehicle passport (PTS), as well as a vehicle certificate (STS) are the main documents of your car: the information that is entered there after each sale and purchase appears in all automobile registers of the traffic police, tax services and other federal databases ...
The registration certificate for the car and the registration certificate are strictly accountable documents. They should always be in the hands of the driver.
According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 477 dated 05/18/1993. "On the introduction of vehicle passports", the document form must display all identification information about the vehicle.
The data sheet indicates:
- car brand;
- model;
- body type;
- vin number;
- color;
- engine and chassis numbers;
- date of production and registration;
- authority issuing the form;
- Name of the owner and address of his residence.
Wherein, each such form of document has its own unique series and number.
How to read the TCP number correctly? The first two digits of the line are the code of the region where the technical passport was issued. For example, the beginning in the form 77 indicates belonging to the Moscow region. Next is a series. In most cases, a series of registration certificates begins with the letter "T" (with the exception of foreign cars assembled on the territory of the Russian Federation).
For cars, whose technical passport was issued in 2008 and later, instead of "T" was assigned the letter "U". Thus, the registration data of the form may look like this: 79 TC 111111 or 77 UE 222222.
Particular care should be taken with a vehicle with a "Duplicate" mark - it is not uncommon for fraudsters to operate with such registration certificates, selling other people's / pledged / illegal cars.
Find out the identifier by the license plate of the car
Important! For the buyer of used cars - exactly in the passport vehicle for the first time, traces of forgeries and fraudulent schemes may "surface".
To miss this moment means to have every chance of encountering troubles punishable by criminal law.
Studying the registration certificate for the car that you want to buy, carefully look at the correspondence between the region code and the textual mention of the place of issue: the case when Moscow appears in the code 77, but it is written about the Yekaterinburg traffic police body, should arouse direct suspicions of fake PTS.
As for the data of the license plate of the car, their availability allows you to find out information about the vehicle title and the owner of the car, solely on an individual request - information of this type is confidential. Let's see how to do this. So, how to find out the vehicle number by car number?
Checking information on STS
The vehicle passport (PTS) and the vehicle registration certificate (STS) contain information about the owners, fines, registration-re-registration of the car, etc. Using the information recorded in one of them, you can calculate all the necessary data from another document, and vice versa.
Based on considerations of the convenience of checking the data on the car, the series and number of the PTS and STS have the same meaning, and the forms of documents themselves are drawn up in parallel. License plates of PTS and STS are the same, and this facilitates not only the procedure for checking the operation of the car, but also helps in restoring the form of one of the documents if it is lost.
At the same time, when operating a car, it is recommended to prepare several copies of documents in advance. This will help speed up the recovery process.
Where can I find the series and other data?
You can find this data:
- on the front side at the bottom of the document;
- on the back of the form at the top of it. It is important to remember that in both cases it must be printed in red.
Attention! The absence of a STS for a driver at the time of driving may entail liability, in accordance with Article 12.3 of the RF Code on administrative offensesand also faces a fine of 500 rubles.
This is how the number and series on the TCP should look like:
Why else do you need information from a certificate?
The data of the vehicle registration document are necessary to obtain a complete picture of its operation for the following purposes:
Alternative ways
In addition to the traditional method - a personal appeal to the traffic police office, it is also possible to identify the data of the registration certificate, as well as the involvement of the car in offenses or other fraudulent schemes:
- Using the online service on the official website of the traffic police (http://www.gibdd.ru/). Since 2013, an electronic search system for vehicle data in the official state database has been developed and implemented for Russian car owners. By entering the vin number, body number and license plate, you can get the whole picture on the TCP.
- Telephone consultation with an authorized car inspection specialist (such information can be provided upon request to identify unpaid fines or taxes).
- Checks using third-party electronic resources freely available in Runet. A number of sites are built in such a way that, by entering data on driving license, license plates, STS allow you to reveal the whole picture of the circumstances of the car and its title. And some of them are even supplemented with a payment service (which can be very convenient if you need to pay fines and taxes).
Attention! For all the convenience of using third-party sites, you need to remember that some of them may provide inaccurate information, or even use the data for fraudulent purposes.
We strongly recommend to all motorists: before buying a new car, pay special attention to the series and number of the registration certificate and certificate of the car. Situations with fraudulent schemes are widespread and frequent, despite the fact that forgeries in documents are criminalized (Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Forgery, production or sale of forged documents, state awards, stamps, seals, letterheads
- Counterfeiting a certificate or other official document granting rights or releasing from obligations, for the purpose of using it, or selling such a document, as well as making for the same purposes or selling counterfeit state awards Russian Federation, RSFSR, USSR, stamps, seals, letterheads - shall be punishable by restraint of liberty for a term of up to two years, or forced labor for a term of up to two years, or arrest for a term of up to six months, or imprisonment for a term of up to two years.
- The same acts committed with the aim of concealing another crime or facilitating its commission are punishable by forced labor for a term of up to four years or imprisonment for the same term.
- The use of a knowingly forged document - shall be punishable by a fine in the amount of up to 80,000 rubles, or in the amount of the wage or salary, or any other income of the convicted person for a period of up to six months, or compulsory labor for a term of up to four hundred and eighty hours, or correctional labor for a term of up to two years, or arrest for up to six months.
A thorough check of the vehicle title and the STS in the competent authorities will be able to protect the car owner from problem situations.
Buying a used car has a definite plus - adequate cost. However, in this case, you can stumble upon many pitfalls - hidden damage, wear of parts due to high mileage, problems with documents.
The latter is the most common. In this article we will figure out how to check the title of the vehicle before buying - the most important document for a car. PTS data The vehicle passport stores many different data about the vehicle.
The first thing to check is the coincidence of the VIN number in the passport and on the car. This 17-digit number is located on the car in several places - under the hood, on the metal frame of the car.
Depending on the model, the numbers may be placed elsewhere. The PTS also indicates the engine number - in the vehicle itself, it is located, respectively, on the nameplate of the power unit.
In addition to such basic data, it is necessary to compare the following data specified in the TCP:
- car color;
- model and brand;
- license plate;
- engine displacement - usually indicated on the nameplate on the back of the car;
- release date - can also be indicated on the nameplate under the hood;
- vehicle weight - can be checked at the nearest car service;
- chassis number.
How to check the PTS for authenticity
The passport must contain the following elements:
- The ornament of the passport is a specific pattern that, upon detailed examination, should not lose clarity;
- Hologram - must be clear and easy to read. Hologram counterfeiting is the biggest problem for fraudsters;
- Volumetric drawing - on back side PTS in the corner is a kind of volumetric pattern - a rose. It is possible to determine it by touch. It also changes color from green to gray at different viewing angles;
- Watermark - if you enlighten the TCP, you can find a volumetric “RUS” watermark on it.
Foreign cars
A lot of vehicles in our country are foreign made or imported from other countries. In this case, the TCP can only be issued by the customs service. In this case, you need to pay attention to the country of origin - if Lithuania or Belarus is indicated in this column, then you need to be extremely careful, since this often means that the car could be restored after an accident or banally assembled from several parts.
In the TCP issued by customs, certain restrictions are indicated, for example, on the alienation or sale of a car. The passport issued by customs is certified by the signature of the customs officer and the seal.
Credit car
Here you need to pay attention to the following:
- date of issue - usually credit cars are of a relatively small age;
- mileage - due to the first point, the mileage may also be small, although this is not necessary;
- transit car numbers.
Also, as practice shows, if the car is a credit car, then the original PTS remains with the bank, the driver is given a duplicate.
Duplicate PTS One of the most common fraudulent schemes is selling a car not with the original, but with a duplicate PTS.
The most harmless, why the owner has a duplicate, and not the original, is if the original was lost or the owner changed registration or personal data.
It often happens that a car is the subject of a loan agreement or is stolen.
The easiest way to check a duplicate TCP is to look at it appearance... Duplicate PTS has the same structure as the original structure - watermarks, volumetric images and others featuresinherent in the original. The only difference is in the column for notes there is an inscription "Duplicate".
Check in the traffic police
The surest way to find out the authenticity and other data is to check the TCP against the traffic police database. There you will be given detailed information - whether there are unpaid fines for the car, whether it is in theft, an accident involving a car, the relevance of the verification of the numbers of the engine, body, chassis and other things, a ban on changing registration data. Some traffic police departments allow you to find out this information over the phone.
In addition to personal communication with the traffic police, it is now possible to check Vehicle title in online mode.
http://www.gibdd.ru/check/auto/ - the official database of the traffic police, works relatively recently. It is enough to enter the registration data of the car (body number, chassis or VIN number).
After that, the site will give you the following data:
- unpaid fines;
- whether the car is stolen;
- is there a prohibition on changing registration data;
- information about vehicle data.
In addition to the official source, there are other services that allow you to find out the history of the car by its PTS:
http://vinformer.su/ru/ident/title/ - a service for checking cars imported from another country after 1996.
http://shtrafy-gibdd.ru/ is another service that will give you all the information about unpaid fines.
There are also many other services on the network for checking a car, but the principle of operation is practically the same. The downside of this check is that the information may be out of date (with the exception of official portal Traffic police). Thus, the most accurate and up-to-date information can be provided to you personally at the traffic police.
