Rules and deadline for registering a car after purchase

Buying a car, we not only add our comfort life. For many citizens, this is an excellent means of increasing self-esteem. But such a joyful and important event is both very troublesome.

What can not be avoided

Any car owner knows that the fact of the transaction automatically implies the requirement of registration of the car after purchase. Do it in the traffic police. And those who in the near future plans to change the use of public transport on a personal car, it will not hurt to learn some of the nuances of this procedure.

It is obligatory for the citizens of the State Motor Inspectorate to register their own equipment-owners of vehicles equipped with an engine. This applies to cars, and to motorcycles, and to boats, and even to aircraft. Any vehicle that implies operation on a public road (road, sea, air) is subject to accounting. For what is it done? The specific mode of transport is not only assigned to a certain person. It is more important to trace it in a situation of theft or an accident. It's not a secret that some drivers strive to escape from the scene of the accident.

The pull is not worth it

It should be understood that the time of registration of the car after purchase is strictly limited. That's why you need to know all the subtleties of the legislation - so as not to face administrative responsibility before the first trip.

Most recently, the entire procedure for registering a car after purchase was a complex and rather tedious exercise. But in the last couple of years, as a result of certain changes introduced in the regulatory framework, the degree of formality has gone down.

What exactly has changed

Before clarifying the main question of what is the deadline for registering a car after buying in the traffic police, let's clarify what is this innovation.

1. Selling a vehicle, you shift the duty of registering it on the shoulders of the buyer, that is, the new owner. The former owner is no longer bothering about anything. Under the new rules, it is not necessary to take the car off the register before the sale procedure.

2. Registration of rights to the purchased car is now possible in any arbitrarily chosen from the traffic police departments throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. That is, the new rules no longer tie the owner to the place of permanent registration. If the participants in the transaction for the purchase and sale of cars are residents of different regions, the choice of the place of registration of the car is their own business.

3. The new owner is now granted more rights in the matter of the disposal of state numbers. What does this mean in practice? Everyone now decides whether to leave the old license plates for him or start re-registration and getting new ones.

And what else?

4. There was a significant reduction in the period of setting the car for registration after the purchase in connection with the procedure for changing the owner. This is due to the abolition of mandatory reconciliation on the engine of factory numbers. The design of some models sometimes made this procedure very laborious. Sometimes the process dragged on for a month or even a few. At present, the body and VIN numbers and chassis are checked.

5. The availability of an electronic queue contributes to the fast pace of the process. Thanks to it, all owners receive an individual time, when they register the car after purchase, that is, they submit documents. In order to promptly resolve the issue, only a duly executed sales contract is required.

These requirements are minimal - the information about the new owner is indicated, the entire package of documents for the car is sent to him, the fact of sale is fixed in the PTA.

6. Thanks to innovations, the life of those car owners who happened to face the theft, loss or damage of numbers has become much simpler. Now the procedure for replacing them can be done in a much shorter period of time. This happened due to the fact that the need to reissue the car is no longer there.

About used cars

As you know, you can buy a brand new car or a car with mileage. In this regard, you should know during what period you can use the transit numbers obtained when buying at the motor show, and also during what allowed period you can drive by car with numbers without registration.

In the latter situation, take care of indicating the fact of the purchase of the vehicle documented (that is, in his passport). You need to register all the requisites of the act, which is the basis for the transfer of ownership, and be signed by the former and new owners. This simple measure in the future will save you from the unpleasant need to bear the unexpected responsibility for any violation that was discovered suddenly and committed by the former owner of the car.

The date of registration of the car after the purchase in 2017

Have you introduced innovations on this topic in the last year? In 2017, this period has not changed, compared with the registration of the car after the purchase of 2016. Previously, this procedure was provided only 5 days, now the car owner can dispose of time within 10 days.

Due to the cancellation of a large number of formalities, the duration of the procedure should not take more than an hour.

The order of its passage is somewhat different for individuals and legal entities, and this we will now talk about.

What you need to know about individuals

According to the new regulations, the procedure for passing the registration procedure for the owner, if he is an individual, is as follows:

- wait in line for up to 15 minutes;

- another 20 minutes are spent on checking the information submitted by a citizen on the reliability and sending requests to the customs and tax authorities;

- the same time (20 minutes) is reserved for inspection of a car placed in a special parking lot;

- within the last 10 minutes, it is required to make a decision authorizing registration or denying it.

In addition, after putting the car on the account you will receive a package of necessary documents. But in this case, too, you can count on a fairly quick solution. According to the regulations, 10 minutes are allocated (in theory) to issue a certificate of registration, as well as new numbers.

Why should I hurry?

Thus, special problems in the matter of accounting after buying a car from car owners is not expected. And so keep within the allotted period of registration of the car after purchase - it is quite real and accessible for every driver.

Remember that the counted put on all 10 days begin from the moment when the sales agreement is signed. Of course, this document always contains the date on which the transaction was drawn up. And at any collision with employees of road inspection to hide this information it is impossible. They easily calculate whether you are a violator of a legal prescription or not.

It should be mentioned that the period regulated by the law for the registration procedure is the same for a new car as well as for a former car. But the real term of the procedure may unexpectedly be extended if it is necessary to check the used car for the purpose of excluding his stay on bail, in hijacking or for a loan.

Period of registration of the car after purchase by a legal entity

The issue of terms applies to legal entities, that is, when the organization acts as the owner. We answer immediately: for all the formalities, the same time duration is set aside for exactly 10 days. What then is the difference?

Differences are in the number of papers accompanying the procedure. While an ordinary citizen (an individual) presents only a set of documents for a car, a personal passport and a purchase agreement, the owner company collects a set of all kinds of papers of a somewhat more impressive kind.

Every legal entity should know that any of the cars purchased in the ownership must be registered. To carry out this procedure, it will not be possible to confine oneself only to title documents. From legal entities, a package of constituent documents will be required, the list of which consists of a charter, a certificate of registration of a company (company), and confirmation of registration with the tax inspectorate.

What else is required from a legal entity

Among other things, you can not do without a power of attorney, which is issued by the head of the enterprise to the name of a particular person. The function of that is to serve as a representative of the company in this process and to settle all the formalities of registration. That is why it is especially important for legal entities to know the term for registering a car after a purchase at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, especially in operation.

Postponing the above activities for a long time is fraught with trouble. After all, the volume of the package of documents that will need to be collected is very impressive. In addition, a second-hand car, as already mentioned, is subject to verification.

Another important nuance. In the case of the car belonging to the organization (company), its design should be made for it, but not on the private owner. The state fee in this case is paid only in the form of a cashless payment. And the money can be transferred only from the account of the organization that owns it. If this requirement is not met, you will receive a refusal to issue documents for the vehicle from the traffic police.

Attention violators

As you know, not every driver is serious about these important regulations. Some of them have no idea about the necessary registration deadlines, others for some reason are late and do not have time to keep up with the preparation of documents for the right day, some for a strange carelessness and do not seek compliance with the regulations. What awaits those who could not keep the registration date of the car after purchase? The article of the law includes such an offense for administrative misconduct. Responsibility for such exists in the form of fines. Any car owner can be subject to this penalty.

How much you will be fined

Before the relevant changes were made to the law, the amount of the fine was only 100 rubles. Which, of course, did not motivate any of the drivers to meet deadlines. Traveling on unregistered cars for weeks and months met often.

But now there have been major changes in this issue. The amounts of the fine have grown very significantly and depend on the car owner's category. If he - an individual, then in the case of such disorderlyness, he will have to part with 1500-2000 rubles. Legal entities will be fined much more tangibly - by 5000-10000 rubles. If an official is fined, he will have to pay the amount of 2000-3500 rubles. That is, you can talk about a fifteen-fold (on average) increase in the amount of the penalty for not meeting the registration deadline for the car after the purchase.

If the police detain

It should not be forgotten that punishment can not be avoided in case of management with a vehicle that has not been properly registered in the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. It is mentioned in the article of the 12th Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. In the case of a police officer stopping you and identifying the fact that you are driving a car that is not properly decorated, the penalty will be 500-800 rubles. Please note that this kind of punishment does not at all replace payment of the fine, which threatens for non-observance of the registration deadline for the car after purchase. That is, you have to pay twice.

In the case of a repeated stoppage of the violator in the situation of lack of registration, the auto to recover from it is entitled to as much as 5000 rubles. Among other things, those who do not comply with the law face a much more serious penalty - they will forfeit their rights for 1-3 months.

What awaits the intruder next?

The punishment continues according to the following scheme: the owner who did not put the car on the register in the next 10 days is fined. If he does not pay the penalty for the specific time given to him, the amount of it is doubled, and to the violator it is possible to apply such a measure as detention for 15 days.

Agree, these sanctions look very significant, and very few people want to pull with the registration of documents. In this case it is much more reasonable and cheaper to register the machine on time in accordance with all the requirements of the law, in order to avoid a large number of unnecessary problems.
