Checking a car by title on the traffic police website

Checking the car according to the state. number from the ad - our experiment

Checking the car according to the state. The number was unavailable for a long time, but now the situation in Russia has changed.

Why might it be needed? First of all, such a service will be useful for those who want to buy a used car and want to know its “history”, that is, data on previous operating conditions, the absence of possible restrictions and other similar features.

The convenience lies in the fact that in some cases you can check the car you are interested in using its state registration number remotely.

For example, you can “punch” in advance a car that is being sold through an ad on AVITO, where the state license is visible in the photo. vehicle number.

This mechanism does not always work, since many sellers hide license plates of cars in advertisements, however, in some cases, such a check allows you to learn more about the vehicle you are interested in.

Checking information about a used car specified in an advertisement for its sale

Online car check according to the state. number today is possible on several resources that differ in the size of the databases and the amount of information provided.

As an example, we took an advertisement for the sale of a car on the popular classifieds website AVITO. The main criterion for the search was the presence of an uncovered registration plate on the vehicle.

A random advertisement was selected on AVITO for the sale of a 2013 Nissan Almera used as a taxi.

The advertisement contained the following information about the vehicle:

As an experiment, the goal was set: knowing his state. number, find out detailed information about this vehicle.

Of course, the greatest interest among all motorists is the free car inspection service offered by the official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. We decided to look at what the official resource offers and compare it with an alternative service in order to understand which one will be most useful for a potential car buyer.

So…

Checking the car according to the state. car number and VIN code for free on the traffic police website

The official website of the traffic police disappointed us in this regard at the initial stage of our acquaintance.

Going to the “Services” section, we selected the “Vehicle check” option and immediately realized that we could get information about the vehicle by knowing only its state registration. number, it won’t work: the service works exclusively using the VIN number of the vehicle.

Accordingly, we will not be able to find out information about the car being sold unless, of course, the owner of the car provides its VIN (or the VIN code is indicated in the ad itself).

Of course, the vast majority of sellers do not provide such information remotely, and therefore you will have to meet with the car owner and check the vehicle on the spot using a tablet computer or laptop with Internet access.

Video - how to find out the VIN number for free when checking a car according to the state license. number:

As an option, call someone you know and, having sent the VIN code, ask them to take the appropriate verification steps. The scheme, of course, is far from the most convenient, but this fact, in theory, should be compensated by the widest database available on the site.

Video - how to easily find out your VIN by state registration. car number (method No. 2):

Since we were unable to find the VIN of the car we were checking from the advertisement, we nevertheless decided to test the service using the example of a car whose VIN code was known to us.

Let's start with the interface. In general, it consists of a large window for entering the VIN number and sections for which the check will be carried out.

After entering the code, you will need to separately click on the link for each section, each time entering the security identification code (in common parlance, captcha). Immediately after entering it, the information of interest should appear. Must…

Alas, our experiment ended in failure - there was no data about the car being tested in the database, although the car was taken from 2012, that is, information about it should have been present. It’s hard to say how the “stupidity of the system” can be explained. But the site did not provide any errors about the search or other information, simply indicating that the data was not found.

In practice, this means that we were unable to obtain real information about the car using the service and knowing the VIN. To be fair, it must be said that previously the traffic police service did provide information.

Faced with a similar difficulty, we decided to analyze what third-party services offered and chose the website avtobot.net.

Checking the car according to the state. online number

Unlike the traffic police website, the avtobot.net service offers to check a car by VIN code or state license. vehicle number to choose from. Despite the absence of separate instructions, these numbers can be entered separately, that is, the absence of VIN or state license. numbers should not in any way affect the result of receiving data (we are not talking about detailed information, but about the very possibility of working with one number).

We decided to check how accurate the “pedigree” of the car is (which we chose as an example - see the ad on AVITO above) and see what a car check on the website avtobot.net can offer us.

Having entered the numbers of the registration plate (VIN, of course, was not known to us), we moved on to the next point, which provides information about two technical inspections

and there was an offer to purchase a paid full report. Its cost was, according to the site, 199 rubles.

After which you are asked to indicate an email address to which an extended report on the state vehicle inspection will be sent. number

It must be said that paid services on the Internet often cause well-deserved concerns among citizens due to the fact that there are a large number of fraudulent sites offering payment from a mobile phone, entering a number with subsequent withdrawal of funds, sending SMS messages and other things.

In this case, everything turned out to be much simpler - two payment methods are available - through the Yandex Money service and using a bank card.

However, the presence of a card does not change much - payment is made in any case to a Yandex wallet using the standard capabilities of the service from the famous Russian search engine. It is worth noting that no fees are charged for using the service - the payment invoice was exactly 199 rubles, as was initially indicated.

After making the payment, a message was sent to the previously specified email address (the report is sent to it) informing about the order number and the password to access your personal account, where you can also check its status.

The waiting time for a report is stated to be up to 24 hours, which, however, can hardly be considered convenient in the case of an urgent check of a car, for example, at a car market. However, if you want to check the car using the databases from the ad, then such terms for receiving the report are quite acceptable. In our case, the report arrived five hours later and pleasantly pleased with its volume ().

The first thing that caught my eye was information about the car’s VIN, the number of owners, the participation of the vehicle in an accident and the presence of restrictions.

Interestingly, there is also data on the mileage of the vehicle. It’s difficult to say where such data gets into the service’s database, but the fact is a fact.

Even a quick analysis shows that the report data differs significantly from those indicated in the advertisement for the sale of the car.

The difference is noticeable in the number of owners (four instead of one, taking into account the fact that three owners are legal entities), and in the concealment of the fact of a traffic accident, as well as in the “twisted” (relative to that indicated in the report) mileage.

As already mentioned, it is not entirely clear on what basis the database provides data on car mileage. Most likely, the information is indicated for cars undergoing diagnostics and maintenance at an official dealer, where mileage indicators are recorded.

In practice, this means that the information in the database will be relevant until the moment the car was serviced at the dealership. Considering that many car enthusiasts withdraw from warranty service or stop visiting official services after the warranty expires, the actual mileage of the car may be even higher.

In the case of the ad we are analyzing, this means that the mileage has been skewed quite significantly, and in reality the car has “knocked on”, quite possibly, even more.

From all this, only one fact follows - buying this car is extremely undesirable. Moreover, in order to draw such a conclusion, we did not even need to leave the office, which is undoubtedly very valuable.

Video - why are they hiding the government? numbers in advertisements for the sale of used cars and what you can find out from them:

In practice, many car owners hide their state license. numbers on photographs of the car used in conjunction with the advertisement for its sale. For this reason, there can be only one recommendation - a personal inspection followed by checking the vehicle using various databases.

conclusions

Having analyzed two sources of obtaining information about the car according to the state. number or VIN code, we have come to the conclusion that such a measure is effective.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the official website of the traffic police, which simply refused to share detailed information with us even if we had the car’s VIN number.

The site avtobot.net turned out to be much more efficient in this regard and made it possible to obtain comprehensive information about the car, even if only its state license was known. number (there was no information about VIN in the ad).

Some of the resource's disadvantages include only its relative slowness, which does not allow using the resource to check a car directly during a vehicle inspection using a tablet or smartphone.

However, the opportunity to find out the “history” of a particular car immediately when viewing an advertisement for sale is truly unique and effective, and the fee for using such a service looks very affordable, taking into account the completeness of the information received.

Traffic police online official website

The official website of the Russian State Traffic Safety Inspectorate allows you to check unpaid traffic fines, check a car by VIN code for a registration ban, and check a driver’s license for deprivation. It also publishes changes to traffic rules and contact details of departments in cities of the Russian Federation.

Sections:

On the official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, you can check fines by car number and vehicle registration certificate number. Checking fines by last name or driver's license is not carried out.

A postal notice with a copy of the decision from the traffic police may not reach the addressee or may arrive with a delay, when the period of validity of the fifty percent discount has already expired. Therefore, the most reliable way to control fines is to check them online.

It is important to know!

When you check your fines online, you will not only get the most up-to-date information about your unpaid fines, but you can also sign up for fine notifications via email or SMS. If you are issued a new fine, you will immediately receive a notification and have time to pay it while the discount is valid.

The fine must be paid within 60 days from the date of the decision.

If, after 70 days from the date of the decision, the fine remains unpaid, information about it is transmitted to the bailiffs, who initiate enforcement proceedings.

Also, traffic police officers and bailiffs regularly raid fine debtors. Defaulters are detained on the road and forcibly brought to court.

For late payment of fines, a motorist faces:

Administrative arrest
Blocking bank accounts and cards
Ban on traveling abroad
Seizure of property
Revocation of driver's license
Federal wanted list
Bailiffs' appeal to the employer

The official website of the traffic police is useful when buying both a new and used car. Through the website you can check the car's history by VIN number.

What is a VIN number?

VIN number is a unique vehicle code consisting of 17 characters

You can find it out either from the vehicle registration certificate (both old and new), or from the plate under the hood. The VIN code of the car never changes.

Why check your car history:

PTS authentication;
Verification of the identity of the previous owners of the car;
Checking the facts of road accidents;
Checking whether a car is wanted;
Checking restrictions on registration with the traffic police (arrest, deposit in a bank).

According to statistics from the automotive media for 2017, up to 50% of transactions with used cars in large cities of Russia have fraudulent characteristics. The seller and buyer do not draw up a full package of documents, do not have contracts certified by a notary, and do not check the car for legal purity.

Unsecured sales transactions can later lead to seizure of property and loss of invested money.

Common fraud schemes on the Russian secondary car market

No. Name of the scheme Essence of deception How to protect yourself?

1.	Deposit	The seller demands an urgent advance payment and disappears with the money.	Do not give money without inspecting and checking the car.
2.	Floating price	The price of the car is slightly lower than the market, but at the time of payment additional price tags appear, or the purchase and sale agreement is drawn up for a different amount.	Take your time and draw up a home purchase agreement. Check all documents.
3.	Foreign number	A good car, at a price below the market, is sold with license plates from Belarus or Kazakhstan. In fact, it will not be possible to register it and drive it legally in Russia.	With the exception of rare cases associated with unique car models, do not buy cars with license plates from other states.
4.	Gray outbid schemes	The car is sold not by the owner, but by a reseller. Often the signatures in the purchase and sale agreement are fake, a duplicate appears instead of the title, and the amounts in the agreement are underestimated. A car purchased under this scheme may be seized.	Check the names of the car owners according to the title and the person selling the car.
5.	Car double	A good option: new year, no accidents at a low price. Checking by VIN code shows complete cleanliness and absence of encumbrances. The purchase and sale agreement is drawn up at the meeting. However, the seller refuses to go to the traffic police under various pretexts. When you try to register, it turns out that a car with this VIN code is already in the database. The purchased duplicate car is seized.	Get the previous owner to appear at the traffic police to re-register the car.
6.	Purchase and sale agreement for several persons	A law-abiding seller sells a car under a sales contract, receives money and leaves. Later he is asked to rewrite the contract for another person. At the end of the story, the first buyer, threatening court and criminal prosecution, tries to return the money for the car that was allegedly not sold to him.	Draw up a vehicle acceptance certificate. Keep voice recordings of conversations. Fill out the DCP with a notary.
7.	Photos of passport and bank card	The scammer contacts the victim by phone and offers to buy a car. An excuse is invented why this cannot be done immediately. But the criminal declares that he is ready to transfer a large deposit to the victim’s card as proof of his intentions. To make a payment, a photo of a bank card and passport is requested. Having all the necessary information, the scammers either “cleanse” the bank card or issue a loan using the sent copy of the passport.	Do not send card and passport details to strangers.
8.	Two keys for theft	The thieves are ordered a specific model and color of the car. The option is in used car advertisements. Over the phone, a person posing as a buyer asks about the presence of car keys. A whole group of people comes to inspect the vehicle. While some distract the owner, others make a digital copy of the key. Then the car is monitored and stolen at the first opportunity.	Don't show the car alone. Keep track of the keys. Be wary if you are asked about two keys.
9.	Exchange of cars under two sales contracts	The initiator of the exchange proposes to formalize the transaction through two sales and purchase agreements. Later, legal problems arise with one of the cars, but it is difficult to reverse the situation, since the transactions are not interrelated.	You should avoid drawing up two DCTs when exchanging cars for each other.
10.	Purchase by proxy	Selling a car by proxy is a sign of problems in the past with the car. Most likely the car was stolen, is in pledge or under arrest.	Do not purchase cars by proxy.
11.	Wrong year, wrong characteristics	A fraudster places an advertisement for the sale of a car with inflated specifications. The best year, a rich set of options and a different engine size are indicated. The bet is on the rush to sell, in which there will be no time left to check the details.	Carefully check the information from the advertisement and the properties of the offered car. Look for any inconsistencies.

Most of the situations described can be avoided by checking the car online using the database on the official website of the Russian State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. The very mention of a possible check in a conversation with a suspicious buyer or seller can stop scammers.

Once you have selected the car you are interested in, call the owner. Ask everything that is written in the ad: year, color, condition, availability of options and number of owners.

Immediately warn the author of the ad about upcoming checks at a car service (running, engine compression, errors and twisted mileage) and legal purity.

Already at this stage, obvious scammers can eliminate themselves.

At the meeting, carefully inspect the car for damage, check the functionality of all existing electronics. Carefully examine the rubber, steering wheel, floor mats and handles for abrasions, which should correspond to the stated mileage. Ask the owner to provide the VIN code and check the car directly from the phone on the official website of the traffic police.

On the official website of the Russian State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, you can check your driver’s license for deprivation and authenticity online. To do this, just enter the series, number and date of issue of the document into the appropriate fields.

In what cases is a driver's license verification required?

Employment – The employer is directly responsible for ensuring that its employees comply with the law. An accident caused by a hired driver who has been deprived of his license (or has no driver’s license at all) will result in a criminal case against the owners and managers of the business.

Registration of the Europrotocol - Small accidents in Russia can be registered without calling the traffic police.

To do this, you just need to draw up a diagram, sign an agreement on the part of the culprit and send the papers to the insurance company. However, there is a nuance.

If the driver's licenses of those involved in the accident are invalid, no payment will be made. Therefore, before drawing up a European protocol, you should check the driver’s license for deprivation and authenticity through the traffic police website.

When restoring a license – It happens that criminals use a lost driver’s license. Fraudsters are identified and the document issued in your name is canceled by the police. Unfortunately, at the same time, those rights that are in your pocket also lose their validity. If you have lost and regained your license, it makes sense to check your driving license before each long trip.

Why is a driver's license revoked in Russia 2018?

You can lose your rights for a period of one month to several years for:

Every year dozens of changes are made to the Traffic Rules. At the same time, the law requires drivers to know and comply with the provisions of traffic rules immediately after the adoption of updates and amendments. All changes to traffic rules and the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO), which determines punishment for non-compliance with traffic rules, are published on the Official Website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate.

On the Official Website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate you can find telephone numbers and addresses of traffic police departments in the regions of Russia. At these addresses you can register a car, call the traffic police crew for an accident by phone, or report violations in the work of the traffic police.

How can you check the authenticity of a car's PTS by series and number online?

When the vehicle is used intensively, fines are inevitable. And in order to avoid troubles in the future, they must be paid on time. Moreover, today you can find out almost any information about a car online. Moreover, such information concerns both your own vehicle and the one you are going to buy.

When buying a used car, there is only one significant positive point - it is an adequate price . As for the negative aspects, there are a huge number of them.

These are hidden damages that owners, as a rule, keep silent about; if the car has a high mileage, then these are worn parts that need to be replaced, and the most important and common problem is related to documents.

And in order to avoid such troubles, it is recommended to check the title before buying a car. And now you will find out how to do this.

The technical vehicle passport, or PTS as it is also called, is one of the important documents, since it contains the technical basic characteristics of a particular car to certify its “identity”.

Therefore, first of all, you need to check whether the VIN numbers on the car and in the passport match. It is also worth paying attention to the engine number and size, license plate number, color, make and model of the vehicle and chassis number.

Note!

* Due to frequent changes in legislation, information sometimes becomes outdated faster than we can update it on the site.
* All cases are very individual and depend on many factors. Basic information does not guarantee a solution to your specific problems.

That's why FREE expert consultants work for you around the clock!

How can you check your PTS for authenticity visually?

technical product passport

An ornament that is a pattern that does not lose the clarity of its lines even when examined in detail.
The hologram is clear and easy to read.
On the reverse side in the corner there is a three-dimensional pattern in the form of a rose, which can be identified even by touch. In addition, it is capable of changing color from green to gray depending on a certain viewing angle.
If you look at the light on the PTS, you will see a three-dimensional watermark on it in the form of the inscription “RUS”.

Checking PTS for cars brought from abroad - PTS in such cases is issued only by the customs service and must be certified by the signature and seal of an employee.

Sale of credit cars

will have a duplicate PTS in his hands , and the original will remain with the bank.

Moreover, selling a vehicle using a duplicate is one of the most common schemes used by scammers.

At best, a duplicate may be issued because the owner lost the original and was given a duplicate, or because he changed his personal or registration information. In the worst case, the car may be stolen or pledged to the bank.

The thing is that when buying a car on credit, the title will be kept in the bank until the owner repays the loan in full .

But among scammers, the following scheme is often encountered: the owner contacts the traffic police, where he is given a duplicate, and, citing that the original is lost, the owner sells the credit car, which means that along with the car, the debt to the bank passes to the new owner .

Checking vehicle title online

Today, the easiest way to find out the authenticity of a PTS and other necessary information is to check the PTS using the traffic police database. After all, it contains all the necessary information about the car.

In addition, all this data is located in a single traffic police database. Moreover, you can do this not only in person, but also on their official website at http://www.gibdd.ru/check/auto/ .

We go to the official website of the traffic police - http://www.gibdd.ru/.
Go to the “Online Services” section, located in the right column, and then click on the “Vehicle Check” button.
We enter all the necessary information: license plate number, VIN code and body number.
After processing the data, the system will provide you with information.

Using PTS data, you can find out the following information:

Availability of fines.
Information from the PTS.
Is the car seized?
Is there a ban on this car?
Is the car stolen/wanted?
Was the car involved in an accident?

If the car has not been deregistered, then it can be checked in the traffic police database using the license plate number. If removed, then it is enough to indicate the VIN number and series with the PTS number. When purchasing a car, it is very important to check the title to protect yourself from a lot of troubles.

You can also check the PTS on other resources, for example, on the website http://vinformer.su/ru/ident/title/ . But it is relevant only for owners of cars that entered the territory of the Russian Federation since 1997. Also, when purchasing a used car, pay special attention to all documents and do not forget to check the seller’s data in the documents with the data in the passport.

Now you know how you can check your title online and save yourself from many troubles, and some of them can only be resolved in court, for example, if you buy a credit car.

How to find out the registration history of a car in the traffic police?

Good afternoon, dear reader.

In this article we will talk about the traffic police service, which allows you to obtain information about a car by its VIN number .

The old version of this service, which allows you to check a car for restrictions, has already been reviewed on pddmaster.ru.

Recently, the functionality of the service has been significantly expanded. The updated version allows:

Find out the registration history of the car in the traffic police.
Check the car for involvement in an accident.
Check the car to see if it is wanted.

Let's take a closer look at the updated service.

To check the car you will need the VIN number of the car. It is indicated in the vehicle passport (PTS), in the vehicle registration certificate, as well as on the car body.

If you want to check the car for restrictions before purchasing, I recommend copying the VIN number from the body.

This is due to the fact that some “cunning” sellers show buyers documents from another (problem-free) car before purchasing.

You can check the car on the next page.

The VIN number only needs to be entered once at the top of the page:

In the future, you just need to click on the buttons corresponding to different checks and enter the verification codes. At the same time, various checks are carried out on independent servers. Those. If one of the checks is not currently working, you can still run the others.

Checking the vehicle registration history with the traffic police

Click on the “request verification” link, enter the verification code and wait for the result.

After some time, information about the number of car owners, as well as when the car was registered, will appear on the screen.

In addition, the system will display the characteristics of the vehicle: make and model, year of manufacture, color, engine size and power. I note that in practice, complete information about the car is not always provided.

The most important thing to pay attention to when checking the registration history of a car with the traffic police is how often the owners of the car have changed recently. If the car has not been in the same hands for a long time, then it is quite possible that it has some hidden defects that prevent it from being used normally.

Checking a car for involvement in an accident

Please note that this check displays information only about those accidents that were registered by traffic police officers. The database does not contain information about road accidents that were reported by drivers themselves, as well as about road accidents that were not reported at all.

Therefore, if you receive the message “As a result of processing a request to the traffic police AIUS, no records of traffic accidents were found.”, this does not mean that the car was not involved in accidents.

On the other hand, if the database contains a record of participation in an accident, then this is a serious reason to think about buying another car. The fact is that the database is guaranteed to include accidents in which cars were seriously damaged. So think again before buying such a car.

Wanted check

This check allows you to obtain information about the search for the vehicle. Those. if the car was stolen from the owner and he wrote a corresponding statement to the police, then this service will allow the potential buyer to find out about this and refuse the transaction.

In conclusion, I would like to note that although the traffic police service has been operating for 2.5 years, it is still in test mode. So the official website of the traffic police, apparently, does not bear any responsibility for the information provided. Therefore, I recommend that before purchasing a car, you additionally contact the nearest traffic police post for inspection.

Good luck on the roads!

Checking the title before buying a car

Buying a used car is profitable. But there are pitfalls here too and it’s worth knowing about them. Current mileage, wear and tear of the car, and, of course, the problem with the documents. In our article we will tell you how to check one of the most important documents on a car before purchasing it - the title.

Car Passport (PTS) – contains the most important information.

And, of course, the PTS contains information about the engine number - on the car it is displayed on the power unit.

In addition to the main indicators, we also check the following:

Car color.
License plate number.
Brand.
Vehicle weight.
Engine capacity.
Model.
Chassis number.
Date of manufacture.

Is the PTS genuine?

To understand whether this is an original or a high-quality fake, pay attention to the following details:

The hologram on the PTS is clear, the specified data can be easily read. This element is very difficult to fake.
The ornament of a document is a special pattern. If you examine it in detail, it should not lose visual clarity.
The drawing (in volume) is located on the back of the PTS in the corner - a rose. Feel it, it should be clear and easily perceptible. The drawing should change its shade depending on the angle of incidence of the light: from bright green to pale gray.
Watermark - when you scan the document through, you should find the three-dimensional inscription “RUS”.

Documents for a foreign car

If you are purchasing a “foreigner”, please note that the PTS can only be issued by the Customs Service. In such a situation, you must pay attention to the country in which the car was manufactured.

If the countries of Belarus or Lithuania are indicated in the passport, this should alert you, because it is in these countries that a vehicle is most often assembled from several cars unsuitable for driving, or it was simply carefully restored after a serious accident!

Checking PTS using the traffic police database Online for authenticity

Practice shows that cases of vehicle passports not matching their authenticity have become more frequent. In fact, this document contains all the technical data about the car.

Unfortunately, many car owners still do not know how to check their vehicle title using the traffic police database online. The article below will tell you in detail how a driver can check his PTS.

Checking via the Internet

You can perform a check that will provide information about the car, as well as find data on stolen cars outside our country on the following services:

VINformer is one of the most popular services that will provide all the information about the car produced since 1996. However, it is worth considering one important fact - some data is provided only for a monetary fee, for example, data on the location of a vehicle as collateral.
European Stolen Car Database;
NATIONAL INSURANCE CRIME BUREAU;
VIN-INFO.

It is also possible to use the services for financial resources to find out whether the car has passed through customs and whether all the necessary duties have been paid for it on the websites of the State Scientific Research Center of the Federal Customs Service and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise ROSTEC.

Check the PTS using the traffic police database

If the car is still registered, then it is entered into the state traffic police database. number. If the car is no longer registered, it is checked by VIN, series and passport number.

To screen a vehicle for theft and other illegal actions, you can use the following:

You can go to any traffic police post yourself and have the officers punch the number and show the result.
Or, without leaving your home, go to a special traffic police service that operates online. Verification takes place by series and number online.

What is the difference between a fake and an original PTS?

So, in order not to run into trouble, the driver who received the passport should carefully examine it so that, at least visually, he can already determine its authenticity.

Initial examination

The ornament that acts as the background should not lose its clarity. The drawing must be well depicted.
If you expose the document to bright light, you should clearly see “RUS” - the watermark.
On the reverse side there is a design that many associate with a flower. It should be located in the upper left corner. If you turn the paper in the light, you can see how the illustration changes color from green to gray.
A hologram created from foil is usually depicted as a circle or strip on the 1st page. The inscriptions that are printed on it must be readable without any difficulty and must be clearly visible.

Traffic police/traffic police officers never make entries into the document with their own hands. All this is initially imprinted using a mechanism.

A little analysis

So, what else will help identify a fake:

Series structure and numbers. The first two digits are the region number.
VIN
Body, engine, chassis numbers.
Technical specifications must match reality.

If one of these points does not match, then you can safely contact the traffic police with information about the counterfeit. The main thing is to never travel with a fake passport, otherwise there may be the most unpleasant consequences.

Duplicate document

It often happens that when purchasing a car, the new owner receives a duplicate passport. Of course, this raises a lot of suspicion because it may turn out to be an inoperative fake.

In fact, the duplicate PTS is obliged to transmit all the information contained in the original. Only one section will be different - “Special marks”, where there should be a special mark - “D” Issued to replace the PTS.” Also in the same section the series and number of the previous passport should be written down.

To get it in your hands, just contact the traffic police on the day of application. You also need to pay a fee for it: a state fee and for preparation. In principle, the process takes place quite quickly and at a minimal cost.

Credit is a big problem

If a loan was issued for the car, then the passport will be in the possession of the bank until the loan is closed.

Of course, the owner can get a duplicate and then sell his car to another owner, although the second owner will have to pay money for transport. Such a buyer will only have to go to court to defend his rights.

Car from abroad

Counterfeit passports usually come on foreign stamps, and even very expensive ones. Sometimes a car is assembled right on the spot, customizing it to the data specified in the passport.

What can indicate the “honesty” of transport:

Two bunches of keys;
Owners rarely changed.

And what indicates a fake:

The new owner received the document fairly soon after the issuance of this document.
The region in which the PTS was made is far away.
The indicated manufacturer is either Lithuania or Belarus. This suggests that the car has been in an accident, perhaps more than once, and that it was assembled from many spare parts.

Thus, the issue of a fake PTS and its verification using online services was considered. If the document does not pass the verification, you should immediately contact the authorities and report this. Under no circumstances should you travel with a false document, otherwise there will be even more problems. Therefore, checking the vehicle’s title using the traffic police database online is absolutely necessary.
