Some drivers are confident that by signing a contract for the sale of a car, they are finally getting rid of the car and everything related to it.
Some drivers are confident that by signing a contract for the sale of a car, they are finally getting rid of the car and everything related to it. But unfortunately, this is far from the case. And even if the buyer of your car looks like a respectable person or if he is a relative, you should not trust him completely and completely. And that’s why.
By law, the new owner must register the car within 10 days of the closing of the purchase and sale transaction. Otherwise, the car will be registered in all databases with the previous owner, with all the consequences that entails. What the seller should do to protect themselves from the problems associated with the buyer’s bad luck.
If the buyer has not re-registered the car for himself within the statutory period, then the previous owner must prepare for the fact that he will be fined, charged a transport tax and, if something serious happens to the participation of his former car, they will also be the first to look for him. Here, to avoid all this, the buyer should be checked.
To do this is quite simple. 10 days after the sale of the car, you must check the information about it on the portal of the traffic police or through the service of the Gosuslugi portal. For this you need the VIN number, body or chassis number. If the new owner has done everything correctly and according to the law, then in the history of registration actions you will see the date when the car was registered for a new registration. Otherwise you should start worrying.
To get started, you can contact the new owner and find out the reason for the delay. At the same time, you can mention legislation and your right to terminate the registration of a vehicle in a conversation.
If, even after talking to you, the unlucky motorist has not re-registered the car for himself, you have no choice but to terminate the registration of the vehicle. This procedure is simple and can also be started via the portal of the State Services, where the corresponding application is completed. There is no need to pay anything.
After these actions, the new owner of your car starts to have a “headache”. Termination of registration does not mean that the TCP will be added to the desired list. But the STS and the license plate of the car opposite it are “on display”. And when meeting with the crew of the traffic police, after checking, the car can go to the impound, because its operation is prohibited. The owner of the car will have no choice but to pay a fine to the Treasury for its slowness and re-register the vehicle in the manner prescribed by law.
