If the car owner has become a victim of theft, he needs to remove the car from the register in order not to pay taxes and fines. If the hijackers get into an accident or commit another crime in the stolen car, the former owner will not have to prove his innocence.

Theft or theft is the alienation of a vehicle without legal grounds (Articles 158 and 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). This can happen without the knowledge of the owner or in connection with the threat of violence against him. However, in the traffic police database, the car continues to be registered with the previous owner. In order not to pay tax and not be held liable for illegal actions committed by the hijackers, he must notify law enforcement agencies and remove the car from the register.

Registration actions with vehicles are regulated by Orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605 and 1001. In the traffic police, the car in theft is not removed from the register, but the registration is temporarily suspended. All data is saved in the database, but a corresponding note is made. Thus, if a car is found, it will not be difficult to re-register it. At the same time, when performing registration actions with a car, the information that the vehicle is listed in theft will be immediately known to the inspector.

Where to go

First of all, you need to write a statement to the police at the scene of the crime. A criminal case will be opened there, on the basis of which the owner can contact the traffic police and remove the stolen car from the register.

To issue a temporary termination of registration, you will need to submit documents to the MREO of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate.

You can choose any branch, there are no requirements to carry out the procedure for registering the owner or at the place of registration of the vehicle.

The documents

When contacting the traffic police you will need:

owner's passport;
documents for the car: PTS and STS (if any);
a certificate from the police on the initiation of a criminal case.

There is no need to pay the state duty.

If a representative contacts the traffic police on behalf of the car owner, the authority will need to be confirmed by a power of attorney.

Statement

The statement about the hijacking to the police is written by hand in the name of the head of the department in free form. It indicates the identification signs of the car (model, color, state numbers, VIN), time and address of the theft. You can briefly describe the circumstances under which the car was lost. For example, she disappeared from a guarded parking lot, the kidnappers took away the keys, threatening the owner with a weapon, etc. Then they ask to find the culprit and bring him to justice. The applicant confirms that he has been informed about the penalty for perjury. The date and signature are added at the end.

The application to the traffic police for deregistration is a standard form. You can get it at the traffic police department or download it on the official website of the department. The main text is already contained in the form, you need to enter personal data and information about the car there. The reason for the request is indicated by underlining the desired item. Fill out the application by hand or on a computer, without blots and corrections.

In the "header" write the exact name of the traffic police unit. You can find it out directly at the department when filling out the document or look on the Internet.

The information about the owner of the vehicle is indicated. For individuals, these are:

personal data: full name, date of birth;
series and number of the passport;
residence address;
contact details: phone and email.

Legal entities indicate their full name, registration address and contact information.

When an authorized person is involved in the paperwork, you will need to fill out the "Owner's Representative" section. The required information is similar to the information about the owner: full name, date of birth, passport data, address, contacts.

In case of theft, it is enough to indicate the model and make of the car, year of manufacture, VIN and registration number in the application.

You can leave an application in electronic form - on the website of "Gosuslugi".

Procedure

After the police start a search, the owner of the car gets the opportunity to remove the car from the register. Previously, this required waiting for a case to be suspended or closed. Now the owner can contact the traffic police at any time after the initiation of a criminal case.

Since it is impossible to present a stolen car for inspection, only documents will be required. After verifying the data on the database that the car really belongs to the applicant and no encumbrances have been imposed on it, the traffic police inspectors suspend the registration.

If there were identity documents in the stolen car, you will first need to recover them. Only after the owner of the car receives a new passport, he will be able to apply to the traffic police.

License plates from the stolen car are wanted. Therefore, even if the owner wants to keep them and use them in the future, it will not be possible to do this until the car is found.

Information about the suspension of registration is sent by the traffic police to the tax service on their own. However, in addition to this, you will need to independently submit a certificate of theft to the Federal Tax Service. It is not necessary to provide the original - if a copy is received, the tax service will ask the police to confirm that the case has been opened. After that, the calculation of taxes is temporarily suspended.

If the documents for the car are missing

If the documents were stored in the cabin of a stolen car, they do not need to be restored. It is enough to write an explanatory note that they were inside the car and were lost along with it. A police certificate will serve as proof. After that, they will be put on the wanted list (clause 61 of Order No. 605).

Sometimes it becomes necessary to restore the general power of attorney if the owner cannot remove the car from the register himself. In this case, you will need to draw up a new document. If this is not possible for any reason, a duplicate of the power of attorney is obtained from the notary who issued the original.

The cost of the service depends on the tariffs of the specialist.

How to remove a stolen car from the register through State services

To leave an application on the "Gosuslugi" portal, you must have a verified account on the site. The procedure is as follows:

In your personal account, go to the "Driving and Transport" section.
Go to the subsection "Vehicle registration".
Select the item "Deregistration".
Go to the section "Termination of vehicle registration".
Press the button "Get a service".
Carefully fill in the required information. You will need to indicate the reason for the withdrawal, choose a convenient MREO department and the time of the visit, fill in the data about the car.
Check the box "I am familiar with the procedure for the provision of services" and click the "Submit application" button.

After some time, a notice of the time of admission to the traffic police will come to your personal account. On the specified date, you need to drive up to the selected address with a package of documents. Re-appointment on the spot will not be required, the appointment will be invited in accordance with the electronic record.

The user may receive a notification about the refusal to provide the service. This will indicate the reason. This may be due to an error in filling out the application or to encumbrances imposed on the car.

Quite an unpleasant feeling to come to the place where you left your car last time and not find it there. The first thing to do in such cases is to contact the police and file a report for theft. And the sooner you do it, the better - in hot pursuit, you can find the hijacker more often. The investigator must accept this statement from you, and, after considering it, initiate a criminal case on the fact of theft or theft.

After these manipulations, the investigator must give you a certificate of theft, or theft

This certificate will be the main document for terminating the registration of the vehicle. You can, of course, wait a while for your car to be found, but as a rule, such expectations are meaningless.

At the same time, the presence of a police certificate relieves you of the obligation to pay transport tax (according to Article 358 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 2, subparagraph 7).

But nevertheless, it is better to come to the REO of the traffic police and write a statement about the termination of registration in connection with the theft.

You will be calmer this way. Firstly, if you find a car, you can easily put it on record again, and secondly, no one except you can perform any registration actions with the car while it is on the wanted list. Also, the traffic police within 10 days will transmit information about the termination of the registration of the car to the tax service and you will automatically be relieved of the obligation to pay transport tax, without going there personally.

So what should you do if your car is stolen?

We collect all the documents that you have left from the car, take a certificate of theft from the police and go to the traffic police. There you need to present the following documents to the vehicle registration officer:

Completed application for termination of registration (you can fill it out as a sample)
Police certificate

Not always contacting the police brings any results in the event of theft of the vehicle, and then the owner has no choice but to remove the stolen car from the register. The legislation is constantly being corrected and supplemented, therefore, the owner, who is faced with such a nuisance as the theft of his own transport, will be useful to find out everything related to the termination of registration.

How a car is removed from the register when stolen

The first step before going to the traffic police is to visit the police. This is not necessary for the authority to be notified of the theft, to start searching for transport and to open a criminal case. Indeed, in the event that, unfortunately, the car is not found, the owner will be issued a certificate of theft as a result of the termination or closure of the case. Only then can you contact the MREO, and together with a certificate, since it is she who will justify the reason for deregistration.

You don't need to think that as a result of contacting the police, the traffic police will immediately remove the car from the register, because sometimes he is, like the criminal who committed such an act. That is, in order to remove a car from the register, you need to additionally contact the competent authorities, otherwise the transport tax will continue to be charged.

Any registration actions regarding the stolen vehicle are impossible while it is being searched for and a criminal case is open.

You can stop registration after theft in accordance with clause 5 (last paragraph) of the Vehicle Registration Rules listed in the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001 (hereinafter referred to as the “Rules”).

I. General Provisions

5. With respect to lost, stolen, and also transported vehicles outside the Russian Federation, registration is terminated on the basis of applications from the owners (owners) of vehicles.

Making a statement

There are several ways to apply in order to remove a car from the register if it is stolen. We will take a closer look at each of them.

Personal visit

The traditional way to deregister a stolen car is to personally contact the competent authority. You can come to any nearest area. When contacting MREO, you will need to submit the following documents:

PTS, STS (if any, and were not stolen together with the vehicle);
passport;
statement;
certificate of theft.

If the documentation for the car was stolen along with it, you will have to deal with the restoration first. The fact of theft must be known to the police. In this case, it will be possible to obtain the necessary papers confirming the closure of the case, and after that, first proceed with obtaining new documents, and then terminate the registration.

You can easily write an application yourself - it is simple and does not require additional consultation. In case of difficulties and a question, it is enough to contact the inspector who deals with this issue. The paper indicates the reason according to which the registration is terminated, and a notice from the police about the closure of the case is the justification for this reason.

Online application

Through Gosuslugi - a portal created to facilitate the receipt of services in government agencies - it is also possible to deregister a car in case of theft. The only obstacle for an ordinary user will be only the lack of an account on the portal, since you need not just register with the exact data, but also verify your identity. For the rest of the citizens who already have an activated account, it will be possible to receive the service with the maximum temporary benefit for themselves.

First, you should select from all categories of services the column "Vehicle Registration" in the catalog. Next, select "Deregistration". We are interested in a procedure called "Termination of vehicle registration". Next, you need to carry out the following steps in sequence:

Filling out the application. Here you should not only indicate the reason for the appeal, but also the data from the personal passport, as well as STS and PTS. It is better to print the application itself so that during a personal visit it would be easier for an employee to find it in the system.
Selecting a unit and a suitable date for visiting it.
Sending an application for processing the provided data by the system.
At the final stage, the application will be reviewed and the applicant will be invited to receive personal service. All that remains is to bring the documents and stand in a separate queue, which, as a rule, is noticeably shorter than usual.

After the inspector checks the data specified in the application with the documentation provided, the vehicle registration will be terminated.

Termination of registration through an intermediary

Stolen cars and firms specializing in providing such legal assistance are removed from the register. In this case, all the nuances associated with the case are taken on by people who are competent in this area. This method of deregistration assumes minimal involvement of the vehicle owner in the business and is great for very busy people, however, they will have to part with a much more impressive amount than when the owner goes through all the stages himself.

Here it should be noted that a car is removed from the register for free, the state duty will only need to be paid for the release of the license plate, and this amount is not so large and amounts to 200 rubles. For representation on the part of the company, you will have to pay several thousand.

Any relative or friend can become an alternative to an intermediary lawyer if you yourself cannot handle the case. It will be enough to issue a power of attorney from a notary so that a person represents your interests in the traffic police.

Important nuances

If some time after the car was deregistered, it was still found, it can be registered again. This rule is specified in clause 15 of the Rules.

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia of November 24, 2008 N 1001 (as amended on March 20, 2017) "On the procedure for registering vehicles"

I. General Provisions

15. Amendments to the registration data of vehicles that have a modified marking of the vehicle and numbered units as a result of corrosion, repair and (or) returned to the owners or owners after theft is made on the basis of the owner's statement and a copy of the decree of the bodies carrying out preliminary investigation, with the provision of a certified copy of a certificate of research or an expert opinion containing the results of the study, on the basis of which the vehicle was identified.

An important nuance - before re-registration actions, you will need to attach to the application a copy of the order from the police, as well as a copy of the examination carried out regarding the similarity of the vehicle to the data provided by the owner. If the VIN code was broken, then this fact must be indicated so that it does not interfere with the registration of the found car.

Keep in mind that even if you decide to deregister a long-stolen car, you will not have to pay any fees for proving the theft during this period. The rule that a vehicle on the wanted list is not taxed is specified in clause 7 of Art. 358 NK. Of course, for this, the tax authority will need to submit an appropriate certificate, which can be obtained from the traffic police.

Tax Code of the Russian Federation Article 358. Object of taxation

1. The object of taxation is cars, motorcycles, motor scooters, buses and other self-propelled machines and mechanisms on pneumatic and caterpillar tracks, airplanes, helicopters, motor ships, yachts, sailing ships, boats, snowmobiles, snowmobiles, motor boats, jet skis, non-self-propelled (towed ships ) and other water and air vehicles (hereinafter in this chapter - vehicles), registered in accordance with the established procedure in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
2. Are not subject to taxation:
…
7) vehicles that are on the wanted list, subject to confirmation of the fact of their theft (theft) by a document issued by the authorized body;

The theft of a car frees the rightful owner from the need to pay transport tax and be responsible for it, but only after proper registration with the traffic police and the Federal Tax Service. It is important to know when it is time to go there. And it is impossible not to inform both services at all, as this can lead to problems with the law. It is pointless to give money for lost property and be considered the owner of a car that cannot be disposed of.

When can a stolen vehicle be deregistered?

Sometimes stolen cars are found and returned to their owners. In other cases, the property is said goodbye forever. But it is imperative to contact the police, where a criminal case will be opened on this matter. Without explaining the reason, that is, documents from there, it will not work to remove the vehicle from the traffic police and tax authorities.

A certain period of time is allotted for the investigation of the theft case, usually 2 months. By decision of the management, it can be extended for another 90 days, but this does not always happen. At the end of the specified period, and if the search for the car was unsuccessful, the police draw up a decree to stop production.

The applicant, that is, the owner of the stolen vehicle, receives a notice of the closure of the case. From that moment on, he can deal with the procedure for removing equipment from the traffic police register.

You need to appear at the MREO in person, best of all by making an appointment. You should take with you:

passport;
documents for the car, if preserved;
a notification from the police about the termination of the criminal case of theft.

The car owner must fill out an application form for deregistering the vehicle, indicating the reason. After the acceptance and verification of the submitted documents, the registration of the car in the traffic police will be terminated. The owner must submit a certificate to the MREO. And if the car is found and returned to him, a new document will be drawn up.

Expert opinion

Nadezhda Smirnova

Automotive Law Expert

You can remove the car from registration earlier. After her loss and filing a statement with the police, they will be able to issue a certificate of theft or theft of the vehicle. It will also serve as the basis for removing it from the traffic police register.

Documents and rules for their submission to the tax

The next problem that needs to be solved is how to remove the stolen car from the tax register. As paragraph 2 of Article 358 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation states:

Not subject to taxation: ... vehicles that are on the wanted list, subject to confirmation of the fact of their theft (theft) by a document issued by the authorized body ...

The fact that the car is no longer registered with the traffic police, the service must report to the tax. This is required by paragraph 4 of Article 85 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation:

Bodies ... carrying out registration of vehicles are obliged to report information about the real estate located in their territory, about vehicles registered with these bodies (rights and transactions registered with these bodies), and about their owners to the tax authorities at the place of their location within 10 days from the date of the respective registration, as well as annually until February 15 to provide the specified information as of January 1 of the current year.

But until this moment it can take a long time (depending on when the car was stolen). And therefore, the owner of the stolen vehicle is better off going to the Federal Tax Service at the place of his own registration. The service should be provided with:

your passport;
a certificate from the traffic police on the removal of the vehicle from the register;
a statement about the absence of an object of taxation in the property, that is, a car.

Moreover, the law makes it possible to deregister a hijacked vehicle from the Federal Tax Service even without terminating its registration with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. After all, he is already on the wanted list, since a criminal case has been opened. Consequently, subparagraph 7 of paragraph 2 of Article 385 works here. A stolen car ceases to be an object of taxation if its owner provides the Federal Tax Service with a certificate of theft from the police.

How to rent a stolen car through State services

After the abduction of the car, the owner has the right to simplify many actions for himself. Unfortunately, it is impossible to deregister a stolen car through State Services. It will be possible to terminate registration only if the procedure is performed for other reasons: export of the car abroad, disposal or sale.

And in case of theft of movable property, it is already on the wanted list, that is, restrictions are imposed on it. This is indicated on the portal as the reason for the refusal to carry out the registration action as an electronic service. And the owner must carry out the procedure directly at the MREO.

True, State Services will help you make an appointment, eliminating the need to stand in line. To do this, a person must be registered on the site, indicating that he owns a vehicle. These techniques should also be entered. It is equally important to prove your identity by appearing after registration with a passport at the MFC. Having an account on Public Services, you need to take the following steps:

in the section concerning transport, select the option "Vehicle registration";

find among the opportunities provided for deregistration for disposal, click;

choose not an electronic service, but a personal visit to the traffic police;
find in the list that opens the inspection department where it is convenient for the car owner to come, and determine the acceptable time of the visit.

At the appointed time, you should appear at the MREO with documents and an application to terminate the registration of the vehicle.

A stolen car can be removed from the register at the recycling inspectorate, and here the use of State services is an ideal option. But it makes sense to do this when the chances of finding it and returning it to the owner have been lost, that is, a lot of time has passed since the initiation of the criminal case. Because if the car is still found safe and sound, it will be difficult to restore the registration, you will have to do it through the courts.

Watch this video on how to deregister a car through State Services:

Situations in which the car cannot be deregistered

It will not be possible to stop registering a stolen car only in a few cases:

the documents preserved on it were recognized as fake;
the information in them differs from that in the traffic police database;
restrictions have been imposed on transport by the court, for example, due to the fact that the property is the subject of a dispute or is mortgaged to the bank;
the procedure is attempted not by the owner, but by another person who does not have a power of attorney from him.

In these cases, the car will remain registered with the traffic police until the circumstances that interfere with the procedure are eliminated.

But the presence of obstacles does not mean that the owner is obliged to pay transport tax on the stolen property. A visit to the Federal Tax Service department and the provision of a police certificate on the theft of a car in accordance with Article 385 of the Tax Code will save him from such a need.

A lot of questions have recently been related to how to deregister a stolen car. This is more focused on the fact that the legislation does not stand still, but is constantly changing. Each amendment has its own footprint in practice. You have to constantly look for options and get answers. Traffic police officers, of course, carry out work to clarify all the provisions, but not everyone can hear it. As for the stolen car, there is none at all. Therefore, the question immediately arises of how to carry out the procedure without the vehicle itself.

When can I take it off?

According to the state vehicle recycling program, the car owner independently chooses its option. This can be partial or complete disposal. Between themselves they have a certain difference. Mostly vehicles that can no longer be used are suitable for complete recycling. All parts together with the car are scrapped, and there is no return. Only certain parts of the machine are subject to partial recycling, which are destroyed. After completing this procedure, the owner of the vehicle is exempted from paying the vehicle tax.

There is also the option of removing the car, which is listed in theft. But initially it is necessary to report this to the police, who begin to carry out the initial measures, which, unfortunately, only in rare cases bring positive results. And the time from the moment of hijacking to the moment of contact also plays a significant role.

On this occasion, a criminal case is initiated, as a result of which all urgent investigative and operational-search measures are carried out, aimed at finding and locating the stolen car.

When this procedure has been completed, you can begin the first steps to deregister the machine. To begin with, a statement is written, on the basis of which the car is removed from state registration. If you find such a machine, it will be easily registered when you contact us.

The vehicle can be exported from outside Russia. In this case, it will need to be registered in a timely manner at a new location. As for the so-called "transits", they are issued to individual entrepreneurs, as well as legal entities.

The procedure for deregistration when selling a car to another owner is initiated independently, if the latter has not performed such actions within ten days. Otherwise, all fines and penalties will be hanged on you, as on the owner.

Required documents to deregister a stolen vehicle

As for the documents, they will differ depending on which procedure is used. But more specifically, it is necessary to focus on the removal of the car from the register if it is listed in theft.

But initially it is worth writing a corresponding statement to the nearest traffic police department. To write it, you can use the established sample forms that can be found in this department where you planned to apply. You must have a personal passport of the owner of the vehicle. The car itself must have all the relevant documents, including a passport for the car, as well as a registration certificate. There may be situations when all these documents went away with the car. Here then you will first have to apply for the restoration of documents, and if they are not necessary, then immediately write a statement about their absence.

These papers must be accompanied by a receipt, which confirms that the state fee for this service has been paid in full. Without it, no one will accept and serve you.

In addition, if there is one, the contract is brought on the basis of which the car was sold to another person. This is necessary when the new owner does not take any action to register the car in his name.

If all actions are performed on behalf of another person, then there must be a general power of attorney. In this case, not the original is attached, but a copy, which must be certified by notary bodies without fail. The same happens when a car registered to another person is reissued.

A document from the investigating authorities regarding the fact that the car was really stolen is also obligatory here. This can be a decision to initiate a criminal case or to make procedural decisions in the form of suspension or even termination, which most often occurs when the statute of limitations for bringing a person to criminal responsibility has expired.

Application rules

When drawing up a statement, certain features must be taken into account that can play a significant role. The main point should be given precisely to the reason why there was a desire to remove the car from registration. If the license plates, as well as the documentation for the vehicle are absent, then this point should also be reflected in the application. And all the features will be different from the case, not even with regard to theft of the car.

Currently, due to the development of the Internet, it is much easier and faster to perform all services and use them. And to remove a car from the register, you can use the State Services website, where you can get a lot of other useful information.

Deregistration takes place online. It is enough to make entries in the relevant paragraphs, among which the purpose, which is caused by the appeal, is indicated. Also, a branch should be chosen, in which all actions for removing a car from the register will take place, as well as the date (time, date) when it will be more profitable and convenient to do all this. After careful processing of your application by the system, it will be sent to the state authorities, sending you only a notification of this. Yes, and it will be indicated that the decision was positive. Further, employees will keep in touch with you, who may even say that the deregistration was denied. At the same time, the corresponding reasons are also indicated, which in certain situations can be eliminated, as well as to submit the relevant documents that were missing.

Using this service through the website allows you to save time, you do not have to stand in queues for a long time in order to remove a car from registration. It remains only to come at the time that they themselves have chosen. If you are in doubt about what and how to do, you can also contact customer support, where you will be given an answer to all your questions.

On the basis of the accepted application, the entire further procedure will be carried out, about which you will be obligatorily notified. If you want to save time and there is no such thing, it will be enough to choose the State Services website, where you will only have to choose the right time and the branch where you are going to apply. The whole procedure does not take much time, but you no longer have to pay extra money in transport tax.
