Fine for late registration of a car

Fine for late re-registration of a car

Buying a car is a very complex process . You need to choose a car that will best suit all parameters, find a seller or a suitable car dealership and conclude a comprehensive contract.

There are quite a lot of moments that require a lot of time and careful study of all points of the transaction. In addition, they do not end even after purchasing the vehicle.

The next very important step is registering the car . This should be done on time; specific deadlines are established by law.

Otherwise, a fine will be applied for late re-registration of the vehicle.

There is no need to worry about the car registration procedure. This enables traffic inspectors to easily take control of all vehicles in the country.

In accordance with the law, the owner or authorized representative is required to register the car or change its registration data.

Only 10 days are allocated for this. Then the owner of the vehicle will be held administratively liable.

Therefore, every driver should know what the fine is for late re-registration of a car in 2019, and whether it is possible to lose a driver’s license while driving an unregistered vehicle.

When is the fine charged and its amount?

The ten-day period allotted for the vehicle owner to register his car with the traffic police is counted from the day:

Vehicle purchases.
Making any changes to the design, for example, installing gas equipment.
Deregistration.
There are other possible reasons that require changing registration data.

At the end of the established period, the owner of the car will face a fine for late re-registration. To avoid such unpleasant moments, you should register your car as quickly as possible.

The fine for late re-registration of a car varies from 1,500 to 10,000 thousand rubles . The person who committed the offense plays a role.

In accordance with the law, the amount of punishment is:

1500 - 2000 rubles - for citizens;
2000 - 3500 rubles - for officials;
5000 - 10000 - for organizations.

The result is a very large amount and it is better to do everything within the allotted time.

If the delay in registration is discovered by the traffic police inspector who stopped the car, the owner is obliged to pay a fine. Its amount is 500-800 rubles. In case of repeated violation - 5,000 rubles.

If you evade payment, the owner will be deprived of his driver's license for one to three months. A repeated violation is considered to be one that is committed within 1 year from the date of payment of the fine for a previous similar violation.

When the registration period established by law has expired, but the owner was not stopped by the road patrol officers, an explanatory note may be required during re-registration, otherwise a fine will follow.

If a driver has received an administrative fine for an administrative offense, he is considered to have been subjected to such punishment from the day on which the decision on imposing the punishment enters into legal force until the expiration of 1 year from the date of execution of the decision.

According to the law, any fine must be paid. Failure to pay a fine is a violation.

If a fine was issued but not paid, this is a delay, which is an administrative violation, but a double fee is charged for it.

It cannot be less than 1000 rubles. If the violator does not pay, he may be imprisoned for 15 days.

What are the consequences of untimely re-registration of a used car?

In addition to the fines listed above, failure to re-register a car in a timely manner may result in other sanctions.

If a purchase and sale agreement is concluded and the new owner does not re-register the vehicle, then all fines for violating traffic rules will go to the former owner.

To protect himself, the seller has the right to contact the traffic police and demand that these fines be declared illegal, since the car was sold. And also insist on canceling the registration.

Then the new owner will have to do the following:

Re-register the car.
Pay a fine for late renewal.
Be punished for violating traffic rules.

It is important to consider that the seller can demand cancellation of registration only after 10 days after the conclusion of the transaction.

Such actions apply when the buyer does not voluntarily register the purchased vehicle.

In addition, the former owner can file a complaint about the search or theft of the car, which is fraught with more serious consequences for the owner. He also has the right to demand cancellation of the purchase and sale agreement if the car has not been registered.

To avoid fines and other rather unpleasant moments for both the seller and the buyer, it is better to go to the traffic police immediately after the transaction to re-register the vehicle.

Punishment for an overdue sales contract in 2019

In accordance with the law, the purchase and sale agreement does not have an expiration date . All the worries that the car purchase and sale agreement may be expired are pointless.

Quite often, people confuse the delay in the contract with the delay of the ten-day period that is given for the new owner to register the car. After all, when a car is purchased, this period of time is counted from the date of the transaction.

The rules for registering a car if the period established by law has expired are no different from regular registration. After paying the administrative fine, you will need a registration application and the same package of documents.

Thus, untimely re-registration of the car can result in serious troubles for the new owner. A fine for late re-registration is not the worst option for the buyer.

But such moments are easy to avoid. You just need to take care of the registration procedure in time .

Registration is now carried out very quickly, and some traffic police departments work around the clock.

Therefore, every new car owner should responsibly re-register the vehicle. It is also important to know what fine awaits him for such an administrative offense.

Can I put an engine from a junk car in my car? Should they threaten me with anything for not registering the damaged car?

Contact the traffic police. Fill out the application form. It will be reviewed by an inspector. Contact an expert organization. For example, NAMI.

You can make the replacement yourself, but then you need to fill out the declaration yourself. Pass a technical inspection and technical condition check, receive a replacement technological map. This service can be performed by an expert organization (Clause 2). Bring the documents to the traffic police and present the car for inspection.

In the case of purchasing a car, this period is calculated from the date of conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement.

If you do not have time to register your car, you will be held administratively liable. The fact that the car purchase and sale agreement has expired upon registration will certainly be noticed by the traffic police officers, since to register a car, the purchase and sale agreement must also be presented among all the documents.

The rules for registering a car if the purchase and sale agreement for a car has expired are no different from regular vehicle registration.
