Buying a car is not just a joyful event for many citizens, but a real relief. But this operation is accompanied by paperwork. Each car owner must have certain documents for the vehicle. Otherwise, driving is prohibited. Today we will get acquainted with the vehicle passport. All owners of cars in Russia will have to face this component.
What it is? How to get it? What is the previously mentioned paper used for? About all this and not only will be able to learn further. In fact, TCP auto is extremely important. And without it you can not do without under any circumstances.
Definition
Vehicle passport is a document for a car. It is issued to all fully-equipped cars that can accelerate over 50 km / h. That is, any passenger car must have the appropriate documentation.
In general, PTS is a paper containing information about the vehicle, about its registration in the traffic police, as well as about the owner. With the help of this "certificate" you can trace the history of the operation of movable property.
Content
What specific information can be seen in the vehicle passport (TCP)? We have already familiarized ourselves with the content as a whole. Now consider this component in more detail.
In the passport for the car you can see:
- VIN-car;
- brand of vehicle;
- property model;
- Category
- year of issue;
- number of the available engine;
- color;
- chassis numbers;
- body number;
- engine power and volume;
- country of origin;
- restrictions, if any;
- F. I. O. of the owner;
- registration (place of residence) of the owner of the car;
- series and passport number;
- data on the registering authority;
- paper clearance date.
Here you can also see information about the registration of the car in the traffic police, about its removal from registration and about alienation. The vehicle does not contain any other information.
In the course of the "life" of the vehicle, certain changes are made to the document. For example, information about the new owners of the transport. Otherwise, the document will be declared invalid. So, the car can not be used.
Destination
And why do you need a vehicle passport? As we have said, this is a very important component of the car. Under no circumstances can you do without it.
To date, a vehicle title is used:
- to account for vehicles in the traffic police;
- for the admission of vehicles to traffic on the roads;
- when applying for hull insurance;
- during registration with the inspection (to obtain STS).
The document does not have a specific validity period. But under certain circumstances, you have to get a new passport.
Reasons for renewal and adjustment
When is this necessary? Every owner of transport in Russia should understand this issue. Otherwise, traffic police officers can cause a lot of trouble.
Correction (updating information in an old document) of a vehicle passport is made if:
- the car owner changes;
- a person is re-registering the vehicle.
- citizen (owner) changes the registration.
Re-issuance (issuance of a new passport with a change in the series and paper number) is possible if:
- the document has run out of space for changes;
- a request is made from the new owner of the car.
Issuance of a duplicate (issue an old passport without adjustments with the corresponding mark) is carried out when:
- a citizen has lost a document;
- paper theft occurred;
- documentation is corrupted for one reason or another;
- the owner does not have access to the original passport.
Everything is not as difficult as it seems. A little later we will figure out how to exchange a vehicle passport. First, get acquainted with the procedure for the initial receipt of paper.
Where to get the document
When buying a car, drivers wonder where to get a passport for a car. As we have already found out, this is an extremely important stage of actions after acquiring a vehicle.
There is no definite answer to the asked question. It depends on how you purchase the car. For example, a vehicle passport can be issued:
- in a car salon;
- in the traffic police department;
- in the organization that carries out the modernization of the machine;
- the previous owner of the car (when buying from hand);
- customs authorities (when importing a car from abroad).
Most often, citizens are faced with the first and penultimate scenarios. What is required for registration of a registration certificate for a car?
Documents for initial receipt
How is a vehicle passport issued? Let's start with the initial receipt of this paper, for example, in a car dealership.
In order to draw up the relevant documentation, a citizen will need:
- car purchase agreement;
- receipt of money (or receipt of the established form);
- passport (personal, civil).
This will be enough. A different package of securities will be required when replacing the TCP.
Initial receipt: instruction
Need a vehicle passport? The number, series and other data about the machine must be entered in the document in advance. Further, the owner will only have to tell who he is. Employees of a car dealership, customs, or traffic police will quickly add information about the vehicle owner to the document.
To initially get the paper under study, a person will simply have to make a deal to buy a car. Presenting the listed papers to the dealership employees, the client will receive the relevant documentation for the vehicle. Just wait a few minutes.
Important: without a vehicle passport, you cannot leave the car interior. A copy of the document in this case will not have any legal force, even if it is certified by a notary. The buyer should only require the original document.
In addition, when registering a TCP, a citizen will need to pay a fee in established amounts.
Documents for TCP when buying from hand
Now a few words about how a car passport is issued if the vehicle is bought on the secondary market. That is, with hands.
Let's start with the preparation of documents for the implementation of the task. The buyer and seller prepare:
- old STS;
- CASCO policy;
- previous passport for a car;
- identity cards;
- receipt of money for property;
- agreement on the purchase and sale of cars.
That should be enough. Do not forget about the payment of the fee and the presentation of evidence of the relevant transaction. All this is extremely important for the new owner of the car. Until a person pays, the vehicle's TCP will not be reissued.
The procedure for registration when buying from hand
A few words about how to work with a vehicle passport when buying a car with it. Almost as well, a duplicate of the document will be issued in case of damage, loss or theft of a car passport.
In order to register the vehicle after purchase from hand, as well as issue a new registration certificate, you will need:
- Form a package of documents. We have already met their list.
- Contact the registration authority (GAI, MFC). If you want, you can submit a request through the "State Services", but this is sometimes problematic, especially for new users.
- Pay a fee to the treasury of the state. Details for payment will be issued upon contacting the traffic police.
- Apply for re-registration of a car.
- Get documents on hand - STS, PTS.
You can redo the insurance on the car and use the vehicle without any problems. A reissue of a PTS car is made within a few hours. The maximum waiting period is 1 day.
Replacement Documents
As we have already said, under certain circumstances, reissuing a vehicle passport is required. After this operation, you need to replace all available documents with the machine. Replacing a vehicle passport or adjusting it is quick.
In order to carry out the operation without problems, the owner of the vehicle must prepare:
- identification;
- STS;
- Title (if available);
- document with car insurance;
- duty receipt;
- application for a new document.
In reality, everything is not as difficult as it seems. The traffic police will not accept a copy of the technical passport to the car even if there is a notary certification.
Important: after reissue due to loss, theft, loss or damage to the document, a duplicate title will be issued to the citizen. The corresponding mark will appear on the front side of the form in the established form. It means that the original certificate was once there, but for one reason or another it disappeared.
Duplicate Algorithm
To issue a TCP for the car in the form of a duplicate, you can contact:
- Traffic police;
- MFC;
- single window services.
If you want to request a document via the Internet, the State Services service is suitable. It is on this option that we will dwell in more detail. After all, we personally considered the algorithm of actions for obtaining a TCP in the traffic police. You will have to act similarly when re-issuing paper. The difference is only in the presented package of documents.
The owner will need:
- Register on the "State Services" and confirm your identity.
- Select "Service catalog" - "State Auto Inspection" - "Registration of the vehicle."
- Click on the appropriate item. For example, โIssuing a duplicate of a TCPโ.
- Click on the "Get ..." button.
- Indicate the reason for the replacement.
- Fill out an electronic request form. To do this, you will need to carefully study the hints near the empty fields.
- Choose a place to receive the document. Sometimes the user is invited to sign up at the MFC or at the traffic police.
- Pay the fee in the prescribed amount.
- Wait for an invitation to the registration authority.
- Pick up the TCP for the car by presenting the previously listed papers.
That's all. Similarly, you can remove a car from the register, make changes to the TCP for auto or put the vehicle on the register in the traffic police. "State services" in just a few days will process the request. The main thing is to pre-register on the service.
Cost of services
How much is the state fee for issuing a vehicle passport? The answer depends on:
- a method for obtaining a document;
- reasons for the owner to contact the registration authority.
If a person personally submits a request to the traffic police, he can focus on the following rates:
- new TCP - 1,650 rubles;
- adjustment of the name or registration of the owner - 500 rubles;
- registration of a vehicle of category "A" and motorcycles, amendments due to purchase - 350 rubles;
- registration acts, document adjustment due to change of ownership - 350 rubles.
Until January 1, 2019, when paying a fee through the State Services, a citizen receives a 30% discount. Accordingly, the size of fees can be significantly reduced legally.
Copy or original
Some citizens are wondering if you need to bring TCP. By law, in Russia it is required to have this paper. But carrying it with you is not necessary. Instead of TCP, the driver should have:
- STS;
- insurance;
- driver's license.
A copy of the vehicle passport certified by a notary may be put in the glove compartment, but it will not have legal force. Therefore, they either carry the original document with them, or even abandon this idea.
When making transactions with property, only originals of the TCP or their duplicates with the corresponding mark are accepted. Copies of papers, as in the previous case, are not considered.
