How to remove a car from the register without providing a vehicle. Deregistration or termination of registration of a car according to new rules What documents are needed to deregister a car

On the territory of the Russian Federation there is a uniform registration procedure for all, as well as the Traffic Police Regulations that regulate this procedure are listed in the order of 2008 issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation "On the procedure for registering vehicles." The purpose of the regulatory documents is to simplify actions when removing a vehicle from the register intended for the carriage of goods and people, terminating registration and putting it under state control.

What must be registered?

All vehicles available and imported into the territory of our state that belong to:

individuals;
Russian companies;
foreign enterprises;
not to Russian citizens.

This allows the state to monitor compliance with traffic rules, timely technical inspection. In addition, in this way, the state monitors the appearance on our roads of cars, motor vehicles or trailers of the corresponding design. The equipment must meet the safety requirements for the transportation of goods and people.

What is meant by the phrase "vehicles"? The definition given to this term by the rules of registration and deregistration of vehicles: devices for transporting people, namely cars, motorcycles (including those with trailers), which are equipped with internal combustion engines from 50 cubic meters. cm or an engine with a power of 4 kW. At the same time, transport develops a speed of more than 50 km per hour. Trailers, respectively, too.

How to register?

Every happy owner of an "iron horse" should register a car or motorcycle. Previously, the registration of a car with the traffic police (now the traffic police) took a long time and took up a lot of personal time. For this reason, many sellers, in order to avoid bureaucratic red tape, sold the car by proxy. This provoked a mess in the accounting database, confusion in the payment of fines, a bias from the re-registration of the car by the new owner. In 2014, the procedure was significantly changed and simplified as much as possible. Now, in order for the car to appear in the database, it is enough for a citizen to come to the traffic police department at the place of real residence or location. It so happens that you need to remove a car from the register. In this case, the inspector himself will go to the place where the vehicle was put under control and will carry out this procedure.

With the entry into force of the new regime, an alternative registration of the car with the traffic police (now the traffic police) became possible - through the portal of state services. It allows you to fill out an application in a comfortable environment, without haste, at home. To do this, you must first go through the procedure for obtaining an account on the government services website. Then, having prepared the documents for the vehicle and personal data, proceed to filling. The easiest way is to go to the desired section through "Popular Services", go to the car registration block and start filling out an application. You can also print payment details there.

How long is there in stock?

Within ten days after purchase, registration at customs or after the car was deregistered in the MREO, the vehicle must be registered. If we deregister the car from the register, then it is necessary to have time to do this while they are valid, that is, to go through the registration procedure. The service will be considered rendered if the owners have the following:

State certificate of registration of the machine.
Number plates.

Please note: for buses and cars, two sets of numbers are issued, and owners of motor vehicles, including those with trailers, receive one.

What is the procedure for registering a car and other types of equipment?

Removal from the register vehicle and its placing under control, in addition to the rules, is also regulated by the administrative regulation of 2013 No. 605. It was adopted in the relevant ministry in order to ensure the uniformity and efficiency of actions of civil servants during the procedure.

According to this document, first the inspector accepts an application of the established form, then checks how fully and correctly all information about the vehicle and personal data are indicated, then forms an interdepartmental request. After that, he proceeds to the obligatory inspection of the car. After examining the vehicle, he makes a decision on registration or makes a reasoned refusal. This is followed by the final registration of documents, their issuance and state numbers to the applicant. The civil servant is obliged to enter the information received into the registration system and ensure the safety of documents or acceptance of registration plates for storage (possibly disposal).

Terms of service provision

Deregistration of a vehicle and its registration with the advent of administrative regulations received clear deadlines. Now the entire procedure for the provision of services is regulated in the amount of 60 minutes from the second when the application from the citizen is received.

Stop or withdraw?

Considering that the new legislative acts allow the re-registration of a car without removing it from the register, this means that it is possible to sell a car to a new owner with old numbers. But the question arises: when do you need to stop counting vehicles in the database? There are several cases when it is necessary that the car was not registered with the previous owner and completely deregistered. However, they all imply that as soon as the equipment ceases to be registered with the previous owner, he will be relieved of the obligation to pay transport tax for the car.

So, let's figure out what features of deregistration of the car have appeared. The newly introduced rules distinguish two concepts:

Termination of registration of motor vehicles.
Deregistration of a vehicle.

What is the difference? Registration of the car for the previous owner is terminated in cases where:

the car is stolen;
the vehicle got into a road traffic accident and is damaged so much that it cannot be restored;
the registration period has expired, and the car has been recorded for a limited period;
The vehicle was sold to a new owner, but he did not register it within 10 days, in this case the former owner needs to unregister the car himself;
the vehicle leasing agreement was terminated, and it was assigned to the lessee for a certain period.

We deregister a car only in two cases, clearly stipulated by the requirements for registration and deregistration of a vehicle:

When the car is taken to a permanent location outside the Russian Federation.
If a complete disposal of the vehicle is to be carried out.

When driving abroad, the car owner is issued with transit signs. In the column for special marks, the word "TRANSIT" is displayed, as well as the number, series, date of issue and validity of license plates. In addition, the official who was responsible for issuing "transits" must be indicated, the mark is sealed.

Please note: transit numbers have a limited validity juice - 20 days! When disposing of a car or motor vehicle state numbers and PTS are handed over to the MREO, where they are subsequently also subject to destruction.

All of the above cases are not equivalent to each other. Depending on the situation with the car the owner has, he can use one of these points.

What documents allow you to register a car?

To register a vehicle, the future owner needs to prepare:

state duty;
passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation indicating the place of registration or, if it is not there, provide another document that will confirm the place of real stay;
application of the established form for registration of the vehicle;
vehicle passport;
confirmation of the fact (original receipt);
original document on the basis of which the car changed its owner (contract of purchase, donation, exchange, etc.);
CTP insurance policy, in which the new owner is entered.

With these documents, the owner of the vehicle must come to any registration department of the traffic police in order to put the vehicle on state registration. In the event that these actions are not performed by the owner of the car or motor vehicle, you need to prepare a power of attorney for the right to submit documents on behalf of the owner.

What to do if a car or motorcycle becomes unusable?

In connection with disposal, documents are required to deregister the vehicle, and the vehicle itself is not required to be submitted for inspection if you have complete disposal. You can perform these actions at the MREO traffic police department. You will need to write a statement of the required form for recycling, present a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, removed license plates, the original PTS of the car or motor vehicle, and you will be provided with a corresponding certificate at the traffic police department.

If the car and motorcycle are partially disposed of, then you cannot do without presenting the vehicle. The state inspector will inspect and verify the unit numbers. Please note: under the new rules, a car that has undergone the deregistration procedure due to disposal will no longer be possible to re-register.

This applies to an individual. And how does the deregistration of a vehicle of a legal entity take place? For enterprises and organizations, both Russian and foreign, the list of documents in order to stop recording vehicles on the balance sheet is the same. You need to prepare:

Application on the sample of deregistration, certified by the military registration and enlistment office where the equipment is registered.
A copy of the charter of a legal entity (preliminary certified with a seal).
A document on the enterprise in the form of an order for deregistration in the traffic police.
A power of attorney, certified by a notary, for a citizen who will draw up the registration termination procedure.
Personal documents of the person who, by power of attorney, will hand over the car (passport, TIN).

How to remove a car from the register, new nuances

Considering that now it is possible to sell a car or other vehicle with numbers, how can you be sure that the buyer will register it for himself in a timely manner? Since, according to the new rules, the obligation to provide a car for registration at any traffic police department now falls on the new owner, the authorities recommend first waiting for the end of the prescribed ten days from the date of sale for registration by the new owner. Then contact the appropriate department with a statement that the registration of the car was terminated. Do not forget to present other documents confirming the transaction, such as, for example, a sales contract.

After that, even if the new owner did not register the vehicle, the car will no longer be registered with you, and you should not be afraid of the receipt of the vehicle tax payment receipt.

The innovations have greatly simplified the actions if a car or motorized equipment is lost, for example, a car drowned in a river or is on the wanted list. Now it is enough to write a statement and it will no longer be assigned to the specified owner.

Another innovation that has delighted car owners is that now you can not change numbers when selling your old car. However, there is one nuance, for this action it is necessary that both the new and the old owners live in the territory of the same subject of the Federation. If this is not the case, then the old procedure with the change of license plates applies.

Payment for registration operations with motor vehicles

The procedure for terminating the registration of a car for the owner (scrapping) does not require mandatory payment. But the registration and deregistration of a vehicle and the departure of the car outside the country implies the payment of a duty to the state.

The amount of payment for completing registration actions is 2850 rubles, and for withdrawing 1050. Moreover, if the new owner of the number leaves the same, he pays less - only 850 rubles, and if he wants to put the state numbers that he once saved on the newly purchased car, then the state duty will also be 2850 rubles.

With the introduction of new rules for registering vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation and administrative regulations, the accounting procedure for car owners has been significantly simplified. Many bureaucratic obstacles that previously hindered car owners and took up their time have been eliminated.

At the moment, the Ministry of Internal Affairs regulates its employees so that they carry out registration activities as quickly as possible, and fit into the allotted time frame.

Previously, the registration rules provided for a two-stage procedure for registering a car for a new owner:

The old owner of the car removes it from the registration register.
The new one registers the car for itself and receives a new STS and license plate.

However, in 2013, the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 1001, regulating the procedure for registering the vehicle, was amended, and later it was completely replaced by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated 06/26/2018 N 399.

Now preliminary deregistration of the vehicle is no longer required. It is enough for the parties to the transaction to conclude a sale and purchase agreement and after that the buyer can already go to the MREO of the traffic police and register the car on his own behalf. He has 10 calendar days to do this.

The current procedure has become much simpler. However, in the end, it led to the fact that after the car has already been sold, it may still remain registered with the seller and the former owner will need to additionally find out whether the registration in respect of him has been terminated.

When can the renewal be done?

The situation when the sold car continues to be registered with the seller can in some cases create inconvenience. In particular, it is fraught with the following:

All fines assigned according to the readings of automatic security cameras will not go to the buyer, but to the seller - and he will not be able to avoid paying them.
The seller will continue to be subject to vehicle tax at the current rate.

To avoid these and other negative consequences, Order No. 399 provides an opportunity for the seller to remove the vehicle from the registration register. To do this, he needs to take the following steps:

Wait until the end of the 10-day period established by law, during which the buyer is obliged to register the purchased car.
Check if registration actions have been taken. For those who are interested in how to do this, we will answer that the service is available in the online service on the official website of the traffic police.
Submit to the MREO of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate where the car was registered, an application to deregister it.
Wait until the end of registration actions.

After that, the former owner will have nothing to do with the car. And the new registration will become a headache for the buyer.

To be handed over for recycling, you need to go through the appropriate procedure in the traffic police, after which the license plate and all documents are canceled. You will learn how to deregister a car from the register from our materials.

The procedure for removing a car from registration in connection with its transfer to a new owner

To terminate the registration of a vehicle that has been sold, the former owner needs to take a number of steps.

Where to contact?

For in order to remove the sold vehicle from registration, the former owner must apply to the MREO of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, where it used to be registered. This can be done in the following ways:

Having personally appeared at the reception during the work of this organization.
By submitting an application through the "Gosuslugi" portal (provided that the seller has a confirmed registration there).

Package of documents

To deregister a car, the seller will need:

Application of the established form. The form can be obtained from the traffic police (in the same place you can usually find filling out rules at the stand), or download it on the Internet, print it out and fill it out at home.
Passport.
Sale and purchase agreement signed by the parties.
Vehicle acceptance certificate. This document will confirm the fact that the contract has been executed and the car has been handed over to the buyer. If the conditions for the transfer are in the contract itself (for example, it indicates that the vehicle is transferred at the time of signing), you can do without this document.
Copies of documents for the car. This is not a prerequisite, but with them it will be easier for the traffic police to check the car and unregister it.
Receipt for payment of state duty (if required).
If the application is made not by the seller himself, but by his representative, a power of attorney is required, which indicates the appropriate powers.

Important. Unlike registration, when you remove a car from registration, you do not need to present it for inspection.

How should I write a statement?

In the application form, the former owner must indicate the following information:

The name of the traffic police department to which the document is submitted.
Applicant's data: full name, place of residence, passport details, TIN (if any), phone number and email address (if any).
Data concerning the car: make, model, year of manufacture, color, VIN, etc. It is necessary to fill in in strict accordance with the information that was indicated in the TCP and STS.
If the application is submitted by a representative of the seller, you must also fill out the corresponding section of the form.
... It is necessary to underline the line “In connection with the sale (transfer) to another person”.

You do not need to specify anything else in the application. All the remaining blank lines of the form are intended to be filled in by the traffic police.

State duty for termination or suspension of vehicle registration

By itself, payment for registration actions in the event that the car is only removed from the register, but is not registered again, is not provided for by law. However, if the former owner does not just deregister the car, but wants to additionally punish the buyer, he can submit an application for deregistration not in connection with the transfer, but for the disposal of the vehicle.

In this case, you will have to pay a state fee of 200 rubles. It is not required to present the machine for inspection for disposal, moreover, the registration can be restored up to its delivery for melting down. However, this procedure will be much more complicated for the buyer.

No more payment of state fees is required. All payments in the future fall on the new owner of the car. He will need not only to pay a fee, but also to pay an administrative fine for violation of the registration deadline.

Through the portal "Gosuslugi"

In the event that the "Gosuslugi" portal is used to terminate the registration of the vehicle in connection with its sale, the seller must do the following:

Register on "Gosuslug" and confirm your identity. Confirmation can be done in special organizations (for example, in the MFC when you apply there for some other service).
Enter the portal by entering your username and password.
Select the "Services" section.
In the section "Categories of services" you must select the item "Transport".
Going to the new section, you must click on the link "Vehicle registration".
Select the item "Termination of registration by the previous owner".
Fill in the electronic form by selecting the traffic police department where the application will be submitted.
Send an application.

Unfortunately, there is no fully electronic provision of services as of 2018 yet. After the application has been sent, you will still need to appear in person and submit the documents for verification. However, when applying through the "State Services", the applicant will not need to stand in line: he himself chooses when exactly he will appear.

An application submitted in electronic form is registered within 5 minutes. After that, the waiting time in the queue will be no more than 15 minutes. The very same solution of the issue will take in this case no more than an hour.

Is it possible to complete the procedure without a car sale and purchase agreement?

All of the above referred to cases when the seller had a contract in his hands. but such a situation may well arise in life: the owner sold the car to the buyer - handed over all the documents and received money for it - and, relying on the honesty and responsibility of the new owner, forgot about the car.

In this case, it may well turn out that he will remember about the completed sale many months later, when he receives a receipt for payment of the transport tax. The purchase and sale agreement by this time may well have already been lost. What to do in this case? Is it possible to stop registering a car without a car sale and purchase agreement and how to do it?

If the seller no longer has the contract, he will not be able to remove the car from the sales register. However, he can submit a statement to the traffic police that the car has been lost (read how to register the termination of registration in connection with the loss of the vehicle). To do this, he only needs an application and a passport. In this case, in the operational databases of the traffic police, the car will be listed as being under suspicion of theft.

Besides, if the seller is offended by the buyer, he can apply for. In this case, for registration, the buyer will need not only to present his copy of the purchase and sale agreement (and pay the fine stipulated by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) - but also to prove that the car can be in operation. This procedure will require additional time and expense.

Deleting a sold car from the register according to the current regulations is no longer a mandatory procedure. But sometimes this is the only way for the seller to protect their interests. By itself, de-registration is free and requires a single visit to the MREO of the traffic police, where the car was previously registered.

There are different situations when it is necessary to remove a vehicle from registration. The car is not always in a normal technical condition, and is able to arrive at the traffic police. How to deregister a car without a car? Does the legislation allow for such actions? How to remove a car from registration if there are no documents for it? We will consider the answers to these questions below.

When does the law allow you to terminate the registration without presenting the equipment?

The need to remove a car from the traffic police register without a car may arise in the following situations:

The owner plans to recycle the equipment. The owner can become a member of the State recycling program, having received some discount on the purchase of a domestic vehicle, or simply seeks to avoid paying transport tax. It should be remembered that a machine disposed of according to the program cannot be restored.
Theft of the vehicle. If there is a trouble and the car is stolen, you should immediately report to the traffic police and write a corresponding statement. After the vehicle returns to its owner, it can be re-registered without any problems.
Export of transport abroad. If the owner of the vehicle plans to travel abroad on it for a long period, he will have to go through the procedure prescribed by law at the State Traffic Inspectorate. Changes in the legislation affected this issue, and now only legal entities and individual entrepreneurs are required to receive transit numbers when traveling abroad.
Violation of the terms of registration of the car after the sale. If, after 10 days allotted by law for registration of equipment by the new owner, the procedure is still not carried out, the old owner has the right to write a statement to the traffic police. Otherwise, fines will be issued in his name and he will have to continue to pay transport tax.

In any of these situations, the traffic police will meet the applicant and remove the equipment from the register without a car.

What documents do I need?

The vehicle is removed from registration on the basis of the following documents:

statements of the established form;
identification of the owner of the equipment;
vehicle certificates;
transport passports;
receipts for payment of state duty.

There are situations when, instead of the owner of the equipment, his authorized representative turns to the traffic police. In this case, the powers of the citizen must be necessarily confirmed by a power of attorney.

What should be stated in the application?

A sample of filling out an application can be found at the department or on the website of the traffic police, as well as on any legal information portal. The form can be obtained from a traffic police officer or downloaded from the Internet in advance. It will have to indicate:

vehicle registration data;
information about the person submitting the application;
the reason for the termination of registration (for example, in connection with the transfer of the car for recycling).

There will be no difficulties in filling out the form, you just need to carefully enter all the data.

Termination of registration without documents

Is it possible to remove a car from the register if there are no documents for it? This question is often asked by those citizens for whom, for whatever reason, the car continues to be listed. This situation brings serious inconvenience.

The official owner has to regularly pay transport tax, since if the payment is not made to the budget, a fine and a penalty will also be charged on its amount.

Anyone can get into a similar situation, so every car owner should know how to deregister a car without a car and without documents.

The traffic police registration databases contain complete information about the vehicle and its owners. Therefore, it is enough to contact the traffic police department with an identity card and write a corresponding statement.

Changes in the relevant legislation have significantly simplified the procedure for the termination of the official existence of a car. The absence of the transport itself, its documents or state signs will not become an obstacle to the procedure.

Such a simplified system is beneficial not only for car owners, but also for the state.

If the former get the opportunity to free themselves from paying taxes without much effort, the authorities, by simplifying the procedure, get rid of the "iron junk" on the streets of the country.

You can always find out from the traffic police or on the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate about how to deregister transport and what you need to do. And by making an appointment in advance through the portal of the State Service, you can reduce the time spent in the traffic police to a minimum.

Deregistering a car is required in many cases - when scrapping, hijacking, taking the car abroad. The good news for motorists is the simplification of the vehicle sales process. Now the buyer, not the seller, is engaged in the re-registration of the car when it is sold.

Today we will talk about in what cases it is required to remove a car from the register, what documents will have to be collected and what this procedure includes.

In what situations do you need to deregister a car?

4 main cases in which it is necessary to deregister a car:

Car sale... Although now it is not required to independently deal with the removal of a car from the register when transferring it to (this obligation falls on the shoulders of the buyer), situations may arise in which this cannot be done without it. To re-register a car when the law allocates only 10 days for the sale ... If the buyer did not meet them, then the seller himself has the right to deregister his car. Otherwise, everything and fines will continue to come to the address of the previous owner.
Driving a car or driving it outside of Russia. If the vehicle leaves the border of the country for a long time, then it is necessary to take the car off the register and register it at the place of its new stay. Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs can use transit numbers instead.
Removal of the machine from the register for disposal. The recycling program allows you to get rid of your old car. It can be complete or partial (when only individual parts and elements of the vehicle are handed over). After scrapping, you no longer have to pay taxes for the car.
Hijacking. If the car is stolen by intruders, then it is reasonable to remove the car from the register so as not to pay taxes or fines for it. If it is found, then there will be no problems with the new registration.

What documents are required for deregistration?

The list of documents that are needed to deregister a car depends on who owns it.

Individuals present to the employee a passport of the Russian Federation, a receipt for payment of the state duty (with the personal data of the owner in the column "Payer"), a vehicle passport and a certificate of its state registration. When the car is removed from the register, its owner is returned the passport and title bar with paper registration numbers.

Legal entities provide slightly different documents for deregistration:

passport of the representative of the organization who is involved in the entire procedure;
power of attorney to remove the car from the register, typed on the letterhead of the company;
Title and vehicle registration certificate;
payment order with information about the paid duty (in this case, the duty is paid by non-cash method).

After removing the car from the register, the representative of the organization, as in the previous case, returns his passport, title and paper transit numbers.

How to deregister a car?

Removing a car from the register begins with writing an application at the nearest traffic police department. The branches have special stands with filled out sample applications and a lot of useful information about the procedure. The application is submitted to the traffic police officer along with the documents collected earlier. After that, their authenticity must be verified, and the car is punched through the bases for the fact of criminal actions with its participation and for the presence of other debts.

If unpaid fines are found, they will have to be paid off immediately. There are no other reasons for refusing to deregister a car (unless an employee discovers that he was provided with fake documents).

In addition to fines, you will need to pay a number of other fees, commissions and duties, the exact list of which differs in different constituent entities of the Russian Federation:

services of paperwork for deregistration;
assessment of a car by a forensic expert and drawing up an inspection report of its technical condition;
transit numbers ( 200 rubles for paper and 1600 rubles for metal);
debt for the transport tax (although the tax was canceled in 2011, the debt from that time may still remain);
deregistration fee for disposal ( 200 rubles);
payment for making changes to or for changing the place of registration of the vehicle ( 350 rubles);
payment for registration of the STS to another person ( 500 rubles).

On average, you will have to pay from 850 to 1050 rubles for removing a car from the register. , depending on its brand and other characteristics. In some cases, you will have to give up to 2500 rubles .

After payment of all duties, a technical examination of the car is appointed, on which the numbers of individual spare parts are compared with the data specified in the technical passport. After receiving the certificate of technical inspection in your hands, it remains only to go back to the window where the documents were originally given in order to finally remove the car from the register.

The former owner receives a technical passport of the car and new transit numbers (if required). It is allowed to drive a car using transit numbers for another 2 months, during which it is necessary to go through a new registration or perform other actions with the car. Driving a car beyond this period is subject to a fine and sending it to a penalty parking lot.

How to deregister a car for recycling?

It is not necessary to deregister the vehicle for scrapping. From the documents you will need a passport, registration numbers, TCP, technical passport and an application. The first step is to draw up a statement addressed to the head of the MREO for deregistration in connection with disposal. It indicates the reasons for disposal, a list of the attached documents. It is separately indicated that there is no need for a certificate for the vacated units.

The application and other documents are submitted to the MREO department. It is not necessary to inspect the technical condition of the vehicle. After registration of the removal of the vehicle from the register, the owner receives a certificate according to which the vehicle can be disposed of freely.

If there is a desire to sell individual parts of a car that has become unusable, then when filling out an application, you need to ask to issue a certificate for numbered units. With him and your passport, you should contact the MREO department and provide the car for inspection of the parts that you want to keep. The car is removed from the register, and the driver is issued a certificate for the vacated units. Now they can be sold freely.

In the article, we considered the question of how to remove a car from the register and what documents will be needed for this. In conclusion, we will say that deregistration of a car is possible without the presence of the vehicle itself.... In some cases (for example, in case of theft), it is completely impossible to provide a car. It is impossible to do without technical inspection only in case of partial utilization and when exporting a car to another country.

Our reader Andrey asked for help: for more than 25 years a VAZ car, which he inherited from his father, has been "hanging" on it. And all would be fine, but that's just his beloved "Ladushka" for the last time our hero saw in the late nineties ...

He sold it by proxy to a neighbor, and after he died, the car was inherited by his relatives. In other words, the car has "sunk into oblivion", but the transport tax has not. Previously, it was paid by a neighbor, his heirs, apparently, decided not to do this. And now a "letter of happiness" came to Andrey's address from the tax office, which insistently requires him to fulfill his civic duty. The man asks: what should he do? The car is still registered with him, while he does not have any documents for it.

As you know, there are no hopeless situations. And this one, in truth, is not worth worrying about. The first option is to pay tax. Moreover, they don't ask for much for an old car. “No, this is not an option!” - Andrey declares. Okay, we have another option for him.

The first and foremost thing to do is to deregister the car. But how can this be done if there are no documents, including a sales contract, indicating that it has been sold? It is possible to terminate the registration of the vehicle due to its loss.

By the way, a car can be temporarily removed from the register if, for example, it is broken or has been standing in the garage without moving for many years. Actually, no one bothers you to remove the car from the register at any time. You simply will not be able to ride it, but you will not pay tax either. After some time, you will be able to register it again (with payment of the state duty, of course). But, as you can imagine, this is not our case.

To terminate the registration of a car due to its loss, you must contact the registration department of the traffic police with the following documents:

1. Application for termination of registration. A sample application can be found (and printed) on the Internet. It should be noted the item "Stop registration due to loss";

2. Passport

3. Power of attorney (if your interests in MREO are represented by a trusted person);

4. STS (vehicle registration certificate);

6. License plates.

If the documents in accordance with paragraphs. 4-5, and there are no license plates, an application and a passport will be enough. Important: you do not need to pay the state duty for removing the car from the register - this service is free.

Within ten days after contacting the traffic police, information about the termination of the registration of the vehicle is transferred to the tax office, after which the former owner of the car is automatically exempted from paying transport tax.

And the last thing. It would not be superfluous to recommend that Andrey take a certificate from the traffic police confirming that the car is not registered in his name. If the tax office again "waggles his nerves", he will only have to go to the Federal Tax Service and confirm his right not to pay the transport tax.

And further! Andrey will have to pay taxes for previous years, when the car was still registered with him. Except for those years (until 2015) for which it was announced.
