The passport contains data about the main characteristics of the car, by which it can be identified and about the owners of the vehicle.

If information about the car or owner changes, then the latest information is indicated in this document.

In what cases are changes made to the PTS and what liability is provided for untimely reflection of data, read on.

Reasons for making changes to the PTS

First of all, it is necessary to understand in what cases it is necessary to enter updated data into the PTS.

Such situations include:

change of owner registration data:
- complete replacement of the owner, for example, when selling, donating, etc., movable property. For new car owners, the PTS contains special columns that indicate the full name (name of the organization) of the owner, the address of the owner, the date of purchase and registration, the date of deregistration, the basis for the change of owner, and so on;
- change of any data of the previous owner (change of surname or residential address).
change in the basic characteristics of the car. Changes can be made:
- when replacing any equipment, for example, engine, headlights, bumper, etc.;
- when repainting a vehicle;
- when paying a recycling fee;
- when changing license plates, for example, due to unreadability;
- when replacing a registration certificate due to loss, theft or natural wear and tear.
replacement of documents due to loss (theft, damage, lack of free space). When replacing a PTS, a “Duplicate” stamp is affixed to the document, which also applies to changes in basic data.

Changes to the PTS can be made:

traffic police officers after receiving a written application indicating the reasons for the changes;
by the customs service, if documents for registration of motor vehicles are issued upon import of movable property;
tax authorities (when the owner of the car pays a recycling fee).

To make changes to the vehicle's title, the following must be attached to the written application:

civil passport of the owner or his representative acting under a power of attorney (original written power of attorney);
documents for the car (title and registration certificate, and in some cases, the agreement on the basis of which ownership of movable property was registered);
MTPL insurance policy;
documents confirming the fact of a change in any parameter that must be taken into account in the PTS (for example, when changing the surname, a marriage certificate is provided, when changing the address, a document with a new registration, and so on);
documents confirming the safety of the vehicle design, if the vehicle was re-equipped (certificate);
documents confirming the purchase and installation of numbered units (body, chassis, engine) when replacing them;
a receipt confirming payment of the state duty in the amount established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Article 333.33).

All changes in the car passport are certified by the signature and seal of the organization that made them. Without these attributes, changes to the document are considered invalid.

What penalties apply?

Making changes to the PTS is accompanied by the need to replace the vehicle registration certificate.

Therefore, if any data is untimely changed, it is considered that:

the car is not registered in accordance with the procedure established by law;
the driver does not have the documents necessary to operate the vehicle;
It is impossible to issue an MTPL policy.

In accordance with current legislation, all changes must be made within 10 days. For untimely changes to the vehicle passport, the owner may be subject to an administrative penalty in accordance with the Administrative Code (CAO),

For individuals

If the owner of a motor vehicle is an individual, then the following types of liability are provided:

Do I need to change STS and PTS when changing my registration?

Replacement of STS when changing registration

A vehicle registration certificate (VRC) is a document that the driver must have with him while driving a car. It is presented at the request of a traffic police officer. The relevant question is whether it is necessary to change the STS when changing registration.

Failure to have a vehicle with you while driving a vehicle is grounds for imposing a fine, as well as placing the car in a penalty area.

The traffic police authority that issued the STS;

Last name, first name and patronymic of the owner of the vehicle;

His residential address;

Other information related to the purchase of the car, the date of issue of the STS.

The invalidity of this data, in particular the place of registration of the car owner, is an administrative violation. Therefore, when changing the region of residence, the owner of the car needs to submit an application to the traffic police in the new location and replace the STS . Ignoring this requirement leads to troubles, in particular, to the imposition of a fine.

What is it regulated by?

The obligation to carry a vehicle with objective data is specified in the Road Traffic Rules (TRAF).

MTPL insurance policy;

Driver's license;

Vehicle registration documents.

The rule is regulated by Article 2.1 of the Traffic Regulations. Police officers verify the data specified in the documents and compare them with each other. For example, a driver’s license does not contain information about the person’s registration, but the region is indicated (there is an individual number) in which the license to drive a vehicle was issued.

It is important to know! A driver's license does not cease to be valid when changing place of residence, but registration documents must be replaced because they must contain the exact registration address of the owner of the car.

The STS is considered valid if it indicates the driver’s place of registration, which completely coincides with the data specified in the passport. The consequences of failure to comply with this rule are that the registration document is invalid.

In addition, it is not only the STS that needs to be replaced. The MTPL insurance policy contains information about the place of registration of the car owner. Therefore, when changing your place of residence, it is necessary to make changes to this document.

Instructions on whether it is necessary to change the STS when changing registration are also contained in the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (dated 08/07/13 No. 605). This can be done in any region of the country.

Algorithm for replacing a vehicle registration certificate

The answer to the question of whether it is necessary to change the STS when changing registration is clear - this must be done. In addition, not only a change of place of residence, but also last name, first name and patronymic, date of birth also lead to similar consequences. The certificate must be replaced within 10 days after changing the passport data.

Vehicle Registration Certificate (VRC)

If you don’t hurry up with this, then in addition to possible sanctions for similar ones, there may be others. For example, notices of fines will be sent to the old place of registration. The owner of the car will not know about them, and therefore will not pay.

The size of the fine will increase over time and may result in the car being confiscated and placed in a penalty area until the owner fulfills the penalty, i.e. will not pay the required amount for offenses and penalties.

Until the owner finds out the size of the monetary sanctions imposed on him and looks for money to pay, there will also be a fee for keeping the vehicle at the fine site (up to 1 thousand rubles per day). In addition, you will have to pay for the work of the tow truck, which is another 5 thousand rubles.

Thus, ignoring the question of whether it is necessary to change the registration certificate when changing registration can lead to financial losses of 20-30 thousand rubles. and more.

Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;

Vehicle registration certificate;

Driver's license;

A valid vehicle registration certificate (VRC);

Insurance policy under compulsory motor liability insurance.

These documents are submitted to the territorial office of the MREO. This is where vehicle owners are registered. The intention to replace the STS is reported to the traffic police inspector, and the reason is given - a change of permanent registration. An MREO employee checks the availability of the necessary documents and issues a formalized application form.

For reference! If, instead of the owner, the question of how to replace the STS when changing registration is handled by a trusted person, you need a power of attorney executed by a notary.

Along with it, a receipt for payment of the state duty is provided. It is paid at the cash desk, which is located in the MREO building. This is convenient - the owner of the vehicle receives the details on the spot and immediately makes payment. The entire procedure takes up to 10 minutes, even if there is a queue.

For reference! The state duty for replacing the STS is 850 rubles, it can be paid through the Sberbank terminal using the details specified by the inspector.

Then the application form is filled out and handed over to the inspector. He issues a coupon indicating the changes that need to be made to the state registration database. This coupon, along with all the above package of documents, including state fees, must be submitted to the window indicated by the MREO employee.

Making changes to the MTPL policy after changing your registration

This is not the end of the procedure for replacing a vehicle’s registration certificate when changing registration. Its owner needs to contact the insurer and notify him that the place of registration has changed. You need to contact the company that issued the MTPL policy, but this can be done at the place of new registration through the branch located geographically here.

The fact of a change in the registration of the policyholder;

The need to make changes to the insurance policy.

Even if the vehicle owner approaches the insurance company agent in person, it is recommended to submit a written application. This is due to the fact that in different regions the cost of insurer services is different, even if they belong to the same company.

Therefore, instead of making changes to the MTPL policy, they may offer to reissue the contract on other terms. This can be explained by various reasons, citing higher risks of damage in the new place of residence. The owner of the vehicle can agree or refuse; they cannot force him to issue a new insurance contract.

In order to prevent any dishonest actions on the part of the insurer, it is recommended to immediately transfer the issue to the level of written requests and responses to them.

The amount of the fine for untimely replacement of STS and PTS

As stated above, an untimely (within 10 days) response to a change in place of residence will lead to negative consequences. If the car owner does not replace the STS when changing registration, the fine is 1.5 thousand rubles.

In the event of a traffic accident or other insured event, the owner of the car will be denied compensation for material damage. The financial burden for vehicle restoration and treatment falls solely on the policyholder’s budget. And these are losses that can amount to not tens, but hundreds of thousands of rubles.

Not knowing that fines are coming does not exempt you from paying them. In addition to the seizure of the vehicle, restrictions may be imposed on travel outside the country. The car owner can find out about this at the airport when going through passport control.

Border guards will refuse to allow him to leave, despite the ticket he has purchased, a hotel room he has booked, a paid tourist trip, as well as a work or study contract. And this is again a financial loss.

Another nuisance is that the old place of registration will receive notifications from the Federal Tax Service about the need to pay the required tax on the vehicle. Failure to respond and timely payment will result in a fine and penalties. In this case, monetary obligations can reach from several tens to 100 tr. and more.

Another surprise is the inability to undergo regular technical inspection. Before conducting it, the traffic police officer is required to verify the registration data.

Replacing PTS when changing registration

So, as stated above, changing your place of residence leads to various changes. They also apply to the technical equipment passport (PTS). Its main purpose is to confirm ownership or possession of a car. It contains the personal data of those persons who can manage and dispose of it.

Information about these citizens is entered into a special database. It is stored on the servers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, access to it is limited. And if owners change any of their data, these changes should be reflected in this database.

Despite the need to make changes, the answer to the question of whether it is necessary to change the PTS when changing registration is negative. Instead, the necessary information is entered into the database, which is dictated by the requirement specified in the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (dated 08/07/13 No. 55). The regulatory act regulates the requirements, deadlines and list of documents that are submitted in this case.

Step-by-step algorithm for replacing a vehicle passport

In general, the entire procedure is performed together with the replacement of the STS. You need to contact the territorial body (branch) of the traffic police at your new place of residence. As in the previous case, a ten-day period is given to enter new data.

The procedure begins with collecting documents, their list is similar to that presented above. The application is drawn up on a formalized form, which is issued by the traffic police inspector.

Details for payment of state duty are also provided. Along with the new STS, the owner receives a PTS in which a record is made of the owner’s change of place of residence. The main thing is that you do not need to change your PTS when changing your registration.

Replacing PTS through State Services

In both cases, when deciding how to change the PTS when changing registration or getting a new STS, you can speed up the procedure. To do this, before contacting the traffic police, you must register on the State Services portal.

Find the line “Transport and driving” in the service catalog;

In the “vehicle registration” tab, click on “change registration data”;

The next place you need to enter concerns changing the car owner’s data (the tab has a similar name).

After this, the user will see a window containing a form. It is necessary to enter the personal data of the owner into it, thereby filling out an application for amending information about the owner of the car.

The appeal takes the form of an email. You need to upload pre-made digital photos of all the above documents. As in the case of a direct visit to the traffic police department, you must provide proof of payment of the state fee.

Through the State Services website, money is paid by bank transfer. Thus, the user receives a thirty percent discount - one of the significant advantages of submitting an application in this way.

After sending the application with documents, it goes to the traffic police for consideration. The applicant will be notified of its results by email, which he indicated on the website during registration. If there are no errors, he will be informed of the date, time and place when he needs to report to the department.

It is important to know! At the appointed time, you need to come to the traffic police with the original documents that were uploaded when submitting your application in digital format. The application must be printed in advance.

In this way, the STS is replaced when changing registration through State Services, and changes are also made to the PTS. The procedure is simple and is performed simultaneously for both cases.

Making changes to the PTS when changing the registration address

Know all the nuances about making changes to the PTS when changing the registration address, the time frame within which this procedure must be carried out, its cost, etc. This will be discussed below in the article.

You can change your place of residence for many reasons - because of work, wedding, addition to the family, etc. At the same time, many car owners do not know exactly the mechanism of action for replacing all the accompanying papers on the vehicle.

After all, you need to collect a certain package of documents to go to the MREO, register the car at a new location, and receive a modified title, STS and compulsory motor liability insurance.

This is a mandatory action of the car owner, and failure to comply with the order will entail certain penalties.

What do you need to prepare from documents?

Making changes to the PTS is a quick procedure. You will be given a new registration address in the empty column of your passport. But if this turns out to be the last empty space in the passport, you will have to change it for a new one.

Even if there is a last empty column in which you can enter a new place of residence, it is better to immediately change your passport, you still have collected all the documents.

Otherwise, if you subsequently want to sell the car, you will have to go to the registration authority again and change your passport, since the buyer is unlikely to agree to take the car with a completed title and deal with replacing the document himself.

You should prepare in advance for going to the traffic police department and collect the necessary package of documents. It is advisable to do this personally to the car owner, but if you have a power of attorney, you can send your representative.

For individuals and legal entities, the required papers are slightly different, so we will consider each category separately.

For individuals

An individual who owns a car is required to provide the following list of documents to the MREO department:

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation with a stamp indicating the new place of registration;
application from the owner with a request to make changes to the title;
MTPL insurance policy;
vehicle passport;

STS - if you have a plastic document, then it must also be replaced due to a change of registration address, and if it is a paper document, then new data is entered into it;

power of attorney, in case of submission of documents not by the owner of the car, but by his representative;
receipt of payment of the fee for the services provided;
other documents, depending on the situation (ownership rights, etc.).

In very rare cases, license plates and the car itself are checked.

When changing the registration address for legal entities

Legal entities changing their place of registration are required to make these changes to all accompanying documents.

To the traffic police department to make changes to the technical equipment passport, they must provide:

power of attorney for the right to make changes (issued on behalf of the organization);
Russian Federation passport of the authorized person;
an application written according to a standard template with a request to make changes to the PTS;
vehicle passport;
car registration certificate;
OSAGO policy;
It is recommended to attach a copy of an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (for a period of no more than 3 months);
document on ownership of the car;
payment orders for payment of state duties, certified by the bank.

Procedure for making changes

It is possible to enter data into the PTS about a change of place of registration in the following sequence:

after entering information about a change of residence address in the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, within 10 days contact your new traffic police department;
have with you a complete package of the above documents;
fill out an application for amendments to the PTS from an employee of the registration authority;
pay the state fee for the services provided;
submit all papers to the MREO inspector;
wait for the documents to be verified and the PTS and STS with the new registration address are issued;
Check that the entered data is correct, otherwise you will have to go through the procedure again later.

There is no need to inspect the car according to the new rules unless your documents arouse suspicion among the inspector.

If you only need to enter new data into the car passport, then the whole process with verification will take about 15-30 minutes. But when replacing the PTS with a new one (if there are no new columns), you will have to wait a whole day, if not a week.

You should also take into account the presence of a live queue, which can further delay you at the traffic police department.

Don’t forget that there is another document for the car that needs to be amended due to a change of place of registration - the MTPL policy. Most often, they do not change it to a new one, but enter a new registration address into the form already issued to you.

You also can’t delay with the policy, because in the event of an accident, due to different data in the PTS and OSAGO, there may be problems with payments.

How to restore the title under a purchase and sale agreement is explained in the article: how to restore the title.

How to do it through State Services

If you want to significantly save time spent in line at the traffic police, then an alternative option for submitting an application to amend your car passport is online through the Public Services portal.

This process goes as follows:

Go to the State Services website at the email address https://www.gosuslugi ru/.
Authorization or registration on the website to access your personal account.
Click on the “Service Catalog” item and select “Transport and Driving”:

In the window that opens, click on the “Vehicle Registration” tab:

Select “Change registration data”:
Click on “Change vehicle owner data” and select “Electronic service”:

A form will open for you to enter your data, this will be an electronic application for changes to the PTS.
After entering the data, scanned copies of documents from the list that are submitted to the traffic police should be attached to the application.
The service will provide details for online payment of state fees. The advantage of this method is a 30% discount.
After payment is completed, the application will be sent to an inspector for review, and you will receive a notification that the traffic police have received your application and documents.
If you fill out the data correctly, you will receive a date and approximate time by email and in your personal account when you should come to the MREO office to enter a new address in the PTS.
Through the portal, select the exact time to visit the inspection.
Print out the completed application, take the original documents and receipt of payment of the state fee and come to the department on the specified date.
You will be received at the appointed time in a separate window where you do not have to wait in line.

Submitting an application through State Services will reduce the time spent at the traffic police inspection to a minimum, and will also speed up the introduction of changes to the PTS. There is also no need to provide your car for inspection. But you should not forget about making changes to OSAGO.

Price of the procedure

For the services provided by the traffic police, you need to pay a certain amount of money:

Agree, the amounts are quite small, and the discount of the Public Services portal makes them even smaller.

Fines for lately corrected vehicle passport

Failure to timely enter data into the PTS about a change in the place of registration of the owner of the car can have many unpleasant consequences.

The first of them is a fine for driving a re-registered car. Art. 19.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses indicates this violation and estimates it at 1.5-2 thousand rubles .

If the owner of the car has changed the registration address, but it falls under the same traffic police department as it was, then it will be unlawful to issue this fine.

It's closer to the station. 12.1 - driving a vehicle that is not registered in the prescribed manner. For this, a smaller fine is expected - 500-800 rubles .

If the driver ignores the rules, does not pay a fine and does not make changes to the documents for the car, then subsequent penalties will be more severe:

confiscation of the car to the impound lot. This is done by the tax service for debts on payment of transport tax, since it will be sent to the old residence address of the car owner. If the amount of penalties and fines is higher than the value of the car, the court may decide to confiscate other property.
driver's arrest for 15 days. The traffic control system sends fines to the place of registration of the car owner. If a significant debt on fines accumulates, bailiffs may take over the case.
In case of an accident, the insurance company may refuse to compensate for damage due to discrepancies in the documents.
refusal of technical inspection if the data of the owner’s passport and PTS do not match.

Of course, in some situations, the car owner may not be issued a fine at all if the delay is short or he has a valid reason why he was unable to get to the traffic police department within 10 days.

In any case, it is better not to take risks and test fate, but to do everything in accordance with the procedure established by law.

Any citizen of the Russian Federation may need to make changes to the vehicle passport due to a change of registration place. Most people have changed their address at least once in their lives, and for some this happens quite often.

If in the PTS the new place of registration is written down in the last empty column, or there are no such places at all, then the passport will have to be changed completely.

You must contact the traffic police department within 10 days after the official change of place of registration (stamp in the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation).

If the law is ignored, the driver of the car faces a fine and other penalties depending on the severity of the situation.

The Port of State Services can significantly save time on filing an application, through which you can fill out an electronic form, pay the state fee and make an appointment without queuing. A bonus to this will be a 30% discount on the fee.

What to do if the engine number does not match the PTS is described in the article: what to do if the engine number does not match the PTS.

What will happen to me if I do not inform the traffic police about the change of registration?

Not everyone knows that according to Order No. 1001 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated November 24, 2008 “On the procedure for registering vehicles,” when changing the place of registration (registration), vehicle owners are required to report this to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate in order to enter current data into the Vehicle Passport and Certificate of Registration. vehicle registration. Even if you move within the same house, from one apartment to another. Moreover, this must be done within 10 days (calendar) after the change of registration. How? The first way is traditional: stand in a “live” line at the local traffic police office, write an application, pay the state fee, submit and receive corrected documents. The state duty for such a service in 2018 amounts to 850 rubles: 350 rubles for making a new entry in the PTS and 500 rubles for issuing a new STS.

The second method should appeal to lovers of modern technology. To do this, you need to go to your personal account on the government services website, open the Vehicles/Vehicle Registration/Change of Registration Data tabs and fill out the application form, attaching scanned documents, and then wait for a call to the traffic police to receive the corrected documents. Of course, you will have to pay the state duty in this case as well. This can be done on the government services website or in the application of the same name. There is no need to print out the receipt. It is enough to inform the traffic police of the UIN (Unique Accrual Identifier) of the payment.

Neglect of this duty may result in a fine of 1,500 – 2,000 rubles under Article 19.22 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. In addition, the car may eventually end up in an impound lot - if the owner does not pay fines or taxes, trying to justify himself by saying that they came to the old address, and he himself is neither in sleep nor in spirit... And such a measure may even be applied to the car owner himself , as arrest for up to 15 days under Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Evasion from the execution of administrative punishment.” And if the debt becomes more than the value of the car, the court may seize other property of the car owner.

Yes, we all know stories when car owners did not report a change in registration to the traffic police and lived happily ever after, but no one guarantees that you will do the same.

By the way, do not forget to make corrections to the compulsory motor liability insurance policy - otherwise it will also be invalid.

What is the penalty for failure to make timely changes to the PTS?

A month has passed since the change of registration, and I have already paid one fine in the amount of 250 rubles. (with discount). Is there a risk of a second fine when contacting the traffic police to make changes to the PTS?
