Search for unpaid traffic police fines using a driver's license

Check traffic police fines on your driver's license

If you want to receive information on the fines you have, you can use one of the following online services:

How to get information about traffic police fines using the online service?

There are three main ways in which you can check and find out about traffic police fines for free.

1. With a driver's license.

The fastest way to search. Particularly suitable for those drivers who have several cars (for example, personal and business).

2. By series and number of the vehicle registration certificate.

This method is suitable for checking fines from photo and video cameras for traffic violations. If the car is driven by several people (for example, members of the same family, rental service employees working in shifts, etc.), then it is also better to look for information about penalties by the certificate number. It will be faster and easier this way.

3. By resolution number

Applies if a decision has been received to impose an administrative fine. These are ordinary “chain letters” from the traffic police, which indicate a violation of crossing a double solid line, exceeding the established speed limit, etc.

Due to the active activity of scammers sending false notifications of traffic violations indicating their payment details, it is recommended to check the fine in the State Traffic Inspectorate database. In this case, the driver will protect himself from paying “false fines”, which have recently been increasingly sent by criminals in the hope that citizens will not pay attention.

For reliability, we strongly recommend checking traffic police fines on your driver’s license and STS. If there is a fine, it will definitely be identified either by the driver’s license number or by the series and number of the vehicle registration certificate. If you just check using the VU, then the fine from photo and video cameras may not be detected.

Checking administrative penalties on a vehicle driver's license

A convenient opportunity to find your fines when driving several vehicles.

1. Select the “By Driver” tab.
2. Carefully enter the series and number of the driver's license. Input is allowed on both Russian and English keyboard layouts. Consists of 10 characters. It comes in digital/letter or numeric format. For example: 9876543210 or 12BB567890.
3. To get the final results, click on the “Find!” button. We are waiting for the search engine to finish working. Depending on the load of the online service (number of applicants), the results will be displayed within a couple of seconds or 1-2 minutes.

Checking fines by resolution number

1. Select the tab called “By order”.
2. A window will open to enter the series and resolution number. Consists of a large number of characters (usually 20-25 digits). For example: 1715241312131009876543210. To avoid mistakes, we carefully double-check.
3. Click on the word “Find!”. We are waiting for the result.

Important information about traffic police fines

The maximum amount of monetary payments for traffic violations is 50 thousand rubles. The payment period is 60 days. It is considered from the moment the decision entered into legal force. The offender (driver, owner of the vehicle) is given a 10-day period to appeal this decision.

If we are talking about a “chain letter” (sent when a violation is videoed and photographed), then the payment period begins to count from the moment the violator receives it in person.

About the possibility of receiving installments

The maximum installment period that is provided to the violator to pay the traffic police fine is 3 months. It can be obtained by citing a difficult financial situation.

About the consequences of non-payment

At the end of the 60-day period, the traffic police officer waits an additional 10 days. This time is allocated for processing last-minute payments. If the fine has not been paid, the case is transferred to the Bailiff Service (Bailiff Service). A case is also initiated under Part 1 of Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and sent for consideration to the court.

Failure to pay a fine will result in one of three penalties:

1. Additional administrative fine of 2 times the amount. If you receive a monetary penalty in the amount of 2,000 rubles and fail to pay on time, the driver will be required to pay an additional 4 thousand rubles. The minimum amount of such a fine is 1000 rubles.
2. Administrative arrest (up to 15 days). Recently, persistent non-payers of fines are increasingly being sent to temporary detention centers.
3. Mandatory work (no more than 50 hours). The law obliges the defaulter to work an additional 2 hours during working hours and 4 hours on weekends. The total number of working hours per week should not exceed 12 hours. Mandatory work is performed after the main working day, full-time study, etc.

Bailiffs can also impose a ban on traveling abroad if the total amount of fines is from 10 thousand rubles, and seize property.

About the “burning out” of fines

The fine “expires” after 2 years after receiving the “chain letter” and the absence of any additional actions on the part of the SSP. Monetary punishment does not disappear anywhere if the defaulter hid from the bailiffs for the specified time. Another year after the fine expires, the violator will be marked in the database as an “involved person.”

Check traffic police fines on your driver's license

A decision on traffic violations is issued by traffic police officers on the spot or automatically if the offense is recorded by a surveillance camera. The amount of the issued penalty can be found online using the VU.

How to check the presence of traffic police fines in the database by driver's license number?

According to Art. 20.25 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, late payment for violating traffic rules can lead to the following consequences:

late payment can lead to a doubling of the debt, but not less than 1000 rubles, even if the debt was minimal;

arrest of the vehicle for up to fifteen days;

compulsory work for up to fifteen hours.

It is very important to comply with the deadlines for repaying debts for offenses, so as not to receive additional sanctions and ultimately lose your license.

If the order is issued by a traffic police officer, the offender will learn about the amount immediately on the spot. When traffic violations are recorded by a surveillance camera, a notification is sent to the place of registration. The driver may not receive a resolution, so he must independently monitor the existence of the debt.

Online check of traffic police fines on a driver’s license in 2019

As always, you can check fines using our service. The information is taken from the traffic police database; it is possible to immediately pay the fine with us or through any other government service. Keep in mind that checking only by driver's license is not available on the traffic police website or State Services.

Official website of the traffic police

Then open the “Services” tab, select the verification section. Next, fill out the online form with the necessary data. It should be taken into account that it is impossible to check only by the VU number; you will also need to enter the vehicle’s STS data. After submitting your request, you can view the list of unpaid orders.

The second method is less fast due to complex registration, but very accurate. To find out online the fine for a driver by license number, you need to go to the State Services website. You need to pre-register on the portal - this is the longest stage. After registration, the user visits the Personal Account and can view traffic police fines by VU.

The Gosuslugi portal allows drivers to be fined based on their driver's license and state registration data for the vehicle. The search process does not take more than a minute. Here, as well as on the official website of the traffic police, in addition to the license number, you will also have to enter STS data.

Here you will learn how to pay traffic fines using your driver's license number.

Question answer

If you need to check ONLY by VU number, use our free service.

As in the answer above, we have our own service for checking fines only by driving license. The traffic police website and State Services are checked in combination with VU + STS. Please note that you will not receive fines from automatic recording cameras using your VU number. Fines for such violations are sent to the STS number. Read more here.

• Block a bank card;
• Ban travel abroad;
• Seize property;
• Arrest for 15 days;

In the fine search form on our website, you must enter the resolution number in the field designated “resolution number (UIN).” Please note that the decree number contains many numbers and it is easy to make a mistake. Therefore, check the correctness of your data entry before submitting it for verification.

The UIN may consist of 20 or 25 characters (digits). The first digits of the UIN contain information about the payment administrator, in the case of fines for car owners - the organization that issued the fine. 188 – the first three digits mean that the fine was issued by the traffic police.

Since 2016, it has become possible to pay 50% of the traffic police fine. The “discount” is valid only for 20 days from the date of the decision. After 20 days, the fine must be paid in full.

- Repeated violations: speeding by 40 km/h (Parts 6 and 7 of Article 12.9), driving on a red light (Part 3 of Article 12.12), entering the oncoming lane (Part 5 of Article 12.15), driving towards one-way traffic (Part 3.1 of Article 12.16), errors in vehicle registration (Part 1.1 of Article 12.1)
- accidents with victims (Article 12.24) .
In addition, the discount is not provided for fines issued by the State Property Committee of the AMPP (for unpaid parking in Moscow). All other fines are subject to the discount.

How long does it take to pay traffic fines?

Within 10 days after receiving the fine, you have the right to appeal it. Next comes 60 days - this is the period for voluntary payment. Thus, the car owner has 70 days to pay the traffic police fines after receiving the decision.

What are the consequences of failure to pay fines?

In case of failure to pay the fine within the period (see above) allotted for voluntary payment of fines, the case materials are transferred to the Bailiff Service and enforcement proceedings are initiated. In addition, at the same time, material for the trial is being formed. A new administrative proceeding may be initiated against a person who has not paid the fine and a fine of double the amount may be imposed.

How long does it take for traffic police fines to expire?

According to Art. 31.9. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

A resolution on the imposition of an administrative penalty is not subject to execution if this resolution has not been enforced within 2 years from the date of its entry into force.

A decision in a case of an administrative offense comes into force after ten days, unless it has been appealed. Thus, the statute of limitations for traffic police fines is 2 years and 10 days from the date of the decision.

The traffic police fine was dated when I did not use the car. How can this be?

It is important to know the peculiarities of the functioning of the traffic police fine databases. In them, the fine is always tied to the date of the decision . If a fine is imposed by a traffic police officer, then, as a rule, the decision is issued immediately, i.e. on the day of the traffic violation, although there are exceptions.

If you find a fine in the online database dated to a date when you were not using the car, then most likely we are talking about a previously committed offense recorded by photo and video cameras. Such fines have two features.

First: the date of recording the offense and the date of the decision, as a rule, differ for the period required by the traffic police to process the data received from the recording means. On average, this period is 1-3 days. For example, if a traffic violation actually occurred on July 1, then the fine decision will be dated July 2-4, and when searching in online databases, this exact date will be indicated - the date of the decision.

The second feature: in accordance with Article 2.6.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation , fines for violations recorded by automatic technical means are issued to the number of the vehicle registration certificate (VRC) .

Administrative liability for administrative offenses in the field of traffic and administrative offenses in the field of landscaping, provided for by the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, committed with the use of vehicles, if these administrative offenses are recorded by special technical means operating automatically, having photo and filming functions , video recording, or by means of photography, filming, video recording, the owners (owners) of vehicles are involved.

Thus, the decree is always issued to the owner of the vehicle, even if another person was driving. However, if it was not you but another driver who was driving, you can appeal the fine in accordance with the established procedure.

Part 2 of Article 2.6.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

The owner (possessor) of a vehicle is released from administrative liability if, during the consideration of a complaint against a decision in a case of an administrative offense made in accordance with Part 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code, the data contained in it is confirmed that at the time the administrative offense was recorded the vehicle was in the possession or use of another person or has now been removed from its possession as a result of unlawful actions of other persons.

Where do online services get data on traffic police fines?

The State Information System on State and Municipal Payments (GIS GMP) is the only source of information on fines for all online services for checking and paying traffic police fines. The development and maintenance of GIS GMP is carried out by the Federal Treasury of the Russian Federation.

You can check the list of organizations (banks) connected to the GIS GMP by following the link in the section “List of credit institutions that have provided connection to the GIS GMP”.

Not all online services work directly with GIS GMP. Often the data is provided to them by partner banks. This is an absolutely legal way of working.

However, there are fraudulent sites where you can supposedly check traffic police fines, but in fact the whole point of such services is to impose a paid SMS subscription.
It is not difficult to distinguish fraudulent sites from legitimate ones.
— Legal services do not require you to enter your mobile phone number to receive search results for fines.
— On fraudulent sites, as a rule, you can enter any data as a search query and the appearance of a search in the database will be created.
— All legal sites indicate where the data on fines comes from (GIS GMP or partner bank), and you can easily check the presence of this organization in the list of treasuries, see the link above.
