Everyone knows that the bureaucratic machine does not always work the way we would like, however, there are ways to influence the work of this system. We will consider in more detail the passage of such a procedure as deregistration of a vehicle. In our article we will talk about how to deregister a car, and consider how you can make sure whether a car is deregistered.
Let's look at the situations in which the car owner requires. Among them, you may also find your own reason, but, of course, not all cases in which such a procedure may be required are indicated here, but the most frequent:

Having decided that we need to remove the car from the traffic police register, we will need to provide not only the documents for the vehicle, but also provide evidence of the purposes for which we are performing this action. The procedure for submitting documents will also be carried out in different ways in different cases.

Regarding the re-registration of a car, it is customary to contact competent experts in this matter, who will conduct a full inspection of the vehicle and issue a permit to obtain new license plates.
The procedure for reissuing a car is as follows:
- Provide documents at the place of registration of the car, namely: registration certificate,;
- Checking the vehicle for encumbrances (whether it is pledged, whether the loan for its purchase has been paid, etc.);
- Traffic police officers will give you a list of contributions required to pay to remove the vehicle from the register;
- After payment, the car is examined by the traffic police. Next, the car is examined by an appraiser. On the fact of the performed examinations, an inspection certificate is issued.
- As a result, the new owner receives all the necessary documents.

With this paper, go to the traffic police, where you plan to put the car on record, here the final stage of registration will take place.
How to make sure

Usually, people who have recently sold their car come to make sure that the car is deregistered. If you are one of them, then wait 10 days after the transaction, and after checking whether the buyer acted in good faith is still worth it. If it turns out that the new owner has not re-registered the car for himself, you will continue to receive an invoice for payment of transport tax. In this case, you need to contact the tax office with a request for calculating payments.
State services website
You can make sure that your car is not registered with you, as we have already said on the State Services website. To do this, you need to register on the site (no more than 5 minutes), then go through the following tabs:

There are situations when the driver deliberately breaks the law, leaving the vehicle for the previous owner. Not all previous owners know how to check if a car has been removed from the register. You can check it through Internet portals, online or personally contact the traffic police.

If the new owner has not rented the car, then this threatens the following consequences:
- The motor vehicle tax will come in the name of the old owner, he will have to pay money for the car that belongs to another person. In case of non-payment, a penalty fee starts. As a result, you will have to pay a more significant amount.
