When it is necessary to undergo a vehicle inspection, receive an insurance payment for an accident, pay a receipt with a transport tax or a notice of a fine for violation of traffic rules, the car owner may have problems. Sometimes their reason is very commonplace - the person changed the registration address, but this fact was not reflected in the documentation for the car belonging to him.
An ordinary situation on the road: the road patrol service stops the car. The first thing that every driver should do, when a traffic police inspector “picked up his visor” near his car, is to present a “road package” of documents. Among them there will be those in which the address of the owner's permanent residence is indicated. If the information on registration from the civil passport differs from those indicated in the STS, the vehicle registration certificate is considered invalid. By itself, this precedent does not qualify as a violation of the rules for state registration of a vehicle, since the car was registered with the traffic police earlier. And now there is only the fact of inconsistency of the information about the place of residence indicated in the car documents with passport data. The application of Article 19.22 of the Administrative Code and the imposition of penalties on the owner of the car in such a situation is not legal. Precisely because the legislation did not provide for punishment for ignoring the obligation to update registration information and did not set any time limits during which the car owner must “correct” new documents, the correspondence of drivers on forums and in social networks is replete with advice “to give up on this and calmly ride like that. " There is an opinion that if the passport itself has changed, then the rule of "10-day re-registration period" is valid, and if a new residence permit, then the documents can not be changed. However, this is not the case, and such frivolity has a number of negative consequences.
Travel documents when changing registration
Of the entire package of automobile papers, it is the vehicle registration certificate that is the main document of title, which certifies the right of the owner (owner). The norm that transport persons are registered as individuals at the address indicated in the passports of citizens of the Russian Federation or in certificates of registration at the place of residence of the owners issued by the registration authorities is contained in the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 1001. Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 605 prescribes the owner of the vehicle in case of a change of his place of official residence, update the registration data with the traffic police. The need to re-register a vehicle when the owner's registration is changed is stated in the Traffic Regulations (Article 2.1 of Section 2).
According to the provisions of these regulations, the stamp with the new registration address, put in the passport of its owner (owner), serves as the basis for amending the documents for the car. The processing time is within 10 days from the moment the mark was made in the civil passport.
As a general rule, not all auto documents are subject to replacement, but only the vehicle registration certificate. Colored laminated card is handed over to the traffic police. Instead, a new STS will be issued with the updated data on the person on whom the car is registered.
The registration certificate does not need to be changed, a record is made in it about the new place of registration of the car owner. In the field for special marks, the reason “change of address” is indicated and a mark is made that the old STS has been handed over. There is one case when the traffic police does not make an entry, but issues a duplicate PTS - if at the time of re-registration there is only one free field left on the form. When filling out a single line, there will not be an empty column, the presence of which is necessary in case of a possible future car sale. This data sheet must be replaced.
Timely notification to state services about the change in their registration is a guarantee that the car owner will not become a debtor in paying taxes on the vehicle and penalties in connection with violation of traffic rules.
You may simply not be aware that the automated surveillance system on the roads has registered a violation if "letters of happiness" are sent to the previous addressee. Unpaid fines that have accumulated in large amounts threaten to be banned from traveling abroad and various administrative measures - up to 15 days of arrest.
Must have reliable information about the whereabouts of the citizen and the tax authority in which he is registered as a taxpayer. Formation of notifications of tax liabilities and payment of transport tax to the budget are "tied" to the registration address. Without receiving a notification to the new address or incorrectly specifying the old region code in the payment document, the car owner is considered to have not fulfilled his tax obligations and is in debt to the state. This is fraught with impaired parking and collection of the resulting debt through the courts. Therefore, it is necessary to notify the tax office of the new registration address. They will reflect the changes in the database and transfer the personal account to the appropriate department of the tax service.
When changing the passport data of the counterparty under the CMTPL or CASCO agreement, the policy must be adjusted. The insurer who executed this document makes an appropriate entry in it, certifying it with his signature and seal. Actual data is indicated on the free field of the document or in the section of special marks. Sometimes a complete replacement of the policy will be required - this is due to an adjustment in the amount of financing due to differences in the levels of insurance risks in different regions. It is necessary to notify the insurance company about the change of official place of residence, although the law prescribes to make changes to the insurance only in the event of a change in the state number plates of the car. When the occurrence of an insured event requires payments, any inaccuracy in the documents or a failure to comply with the formalities may result in a refusal to compensate for the damage caused, or lead to the fact that the due insured amounts will not be fully reimbursed.
Features of replacement of the vehicle certificate
Replacing the STS when changing the official place of residence, in fact, is not a re-registration of the car. At the same time, it is not required to provide a car to the traffic police. The numbers (state signs) remain the same. The existing driver's license (regardless of the region of issue) is valid throughout Russia. Only the replacement of the main registration document, which is the STS, is made. This procedure for entering updated data into auto documents is called re-registration of the vehicle and its passage is the responsibility of the car owner. The vehicle registration certificate (on the side where the traffic police stamp is affixed) indicates the full registration address of the person to whom the vehicle is registered. By law, he must constantly correspond to reality.
When checking on the roads, in the event of an accident, during the vehicle inspection and in other situations, the vehicle owner will inevitably face the registration data verification procedure.
