What is STS on the machine? Special features of the document

In accordance with the rules of the road rules, every car owner, driving a vehicle, must carry the necessary list of documents, which necessarily includes a certificate of registration of the vehicle. But not all novice motorists know what STS is for a car, and quite often confuse it with a PTS.

The certificate of registration of the vehicle (or shortly - STS) is a form that contains information on the characteristics of the vehicle (VIN number, type, brand, model of car, engine power, etc.) and its current owner (name, patronymic, Address of registration, special signs). Whenever there is a change in the owner of the car, this document needs to be replaced. Often, not knowing what a STS is about a car, it is confused with a vehicle certificate. However, these are completely different documents, which must be present at any automobile owner. Due to the fact that the certificate of registration of the TC is a "reportable" document, even if it is replaced, the current version is kept for 24 months in the traffic police department. This certificate must always be kept up to date and carried with you when driving.

The procedures for obtaining STS for a new vehicle (purchased in the cabin) or second-hand cars are slightly different. As a rule, the difference is in what documents are needed for the machine when registering.

If the car is new and purchased in the cabin, then for its registration it is necessary to have: a contract confirming the ownership of the vehicle, a set of keys (2 pieces), a compulsory car insurance policy, a vehicle certificate, a certificate containing information about the full value of the vehicle , And an identity document.

After purchasing a car, there is no need to register it at the same time. According to the current legislation, immediate registration with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate is not required. You can use the vehicle without registration for 10 days. In this period it is enough to have only a sales contract and a certificate with the full cost of the car. These documents must be presented to the employees of the guard service at their request. After the expiration of this period, you need to go to the traffic police department, capturing the previously mentioned documents for the car received when buying the vehicle, and write an application for registration of the vehicle. After checking by the responsible employees of the registration department of the data provided, issuance of state signs and certificates of registration of the car will be made. This procedure for the car owner will take a little time - only one and a half or two hours.

In case you need to get a new STS for a used car, the new owner should also visit the traffic police department, taking with them documents such as the vehicle's passport (or its duplicate, if any), a sales contract or another document that confirms ownership Movable property, STS, receipts for payment of required state. Duties and identity document of the car owner (passport). Some car owners prefer not to sign a sales contract for their peace of mind, but to contact the potential buyer in the car inspection department and carry out the procedures for removing the car from the register and putting it on the spot. In this case, you will need all the same documents and passports of the two owners: current and future. After the inspection by the traffic police of the information provided to the new owner of the vehicle will be issued a certificate of registration, state signs (if necessary) and returned all documents on the car.

• data on the owner of the vehicle: change of name (most often for this reason, the certificate is changed by women after marriage or divorce), change of registration address or registration;

• Vehicle data: change of state signs, change of vehicle color, modification of car design and other facts specified in traffic rules.

In such cases, in order to update the data in the registration certificate, it is necessary to provide to the traffic police department, in addition to all the documents on the car that were discussed earlier, documents or certificates that are evidence of the change in registration data (for example, a certificate of Marriage, if it comes to changing the name).

How to recover a certificate for the vehicle?

As in the previous cases, to obtain the STS of the car, namely its duplicate, you should contact the traffic police department.
