A ban on vehicle registration by bailiffs is imposed in order to motivate the car owner to eliminate violations and fulfill his obligations.
But if it is imposed for quite serious reasons, for example, resolving a dispute in court over the right of ownership, then it is better to refuse the purchase.
A car check can be carried out by contacting the MREO or by entering the necessary details in the appropriate fields on the official website of the traffic police. Here's what the procedure looks like step by step.
To begin, in the “Services” tab, you need to select the “Car Check” service:
On the page that opens, enter the vehicle number in the special field:
Scroll down the page, find the “Check for restrictions” service and click “Request a check”:
In the window that opens, enter the requested data:
And get the finished result:
Important:the decision of the resolution is lifted on the basis of a document issued by the same body that imposed the ban. Therefore, if a vehicle has several official prohibitions, then there should be exactly the same number of decisions to remove them. Only in this case will the car be considered “clean” from prohibitions.
This is what the resolution to lift restrictions looks like:
What is the procedure for removing prohibited restrictions on registration?
A ban on vehicle registration by bailiffs or any other authorities indicates, first of all, some kind of offense on the part of the car owner.
In order to cancel a decision, it is necessary to find out the reason that led to such consequences.
Often the car owner himself does not know that his car is under a registration ban.
The judicial authorities must inform the owner of this. But in practice, it often happens that the car owner does not actually live at his place of registration, so the court order simply does not reach the addressee.
What needs to be done to resolve this issue and eliminate the causes of its occurrence?
- Take a copy of the decision and then you will understand the reason why the restrictions were imposed. Contact the MREO.
- If the issue of imposing a ban is complex, try consulting with a lawyer about the legality of the actions and ways to quickly resolve the problem.
- If this is a failure to pay a fine or alimony, utility bills, then eliminate the debt. Of course, if the reason for the restriction is a court case, for example, on the issue of ownership of a vehicle, then the ban will not be lifted until a positive court decision is made in favor of the car owner.
- Collect receipts for payment of all debt obligations and go with them to the authority that issued the ban order. Based on the submitted documentary materials, the official, after verification, will issue a resolution to lift the ban on registration. The employee must send a copy to the MREO. But it will be faster if you pick up documents confirming that the registration ban has been lifted and the car can be registered independently. This will help speed up the process of registration and removal of restrictions.
- MREO employees, after receiving a confirming resolution, enter all the data into the statements.
Important:If, during the process, the owner expresses his dissatisfaction and disagreement with the ban decision, then he can appeal this document in court.
Over time, the debt will increase, and if the car owner continues to evade payment, the judicial authorities will issue another order to confiscate the vehicle from the owner, seize it or impose restrictions.
Important: Seizure of a vehicle implies the seizure of the vehicle from the owner and its placement in an impound area until the issue with the owner is fully resolved.
Before purchasing a car, the buyer can independently check whether there is a ban on registering such a car.
Such actions will help minimize the fact of fraud on the part of unscrupulous sellers.
Practice shows that most cars that are offered to be registered without registering the owner, but with the help of a notarized general power of attorney, turn out to be “unclean”.
The check can be carried out in several ways using the official traffic police page on the Internet.
This resource currently has the ability to check a car:
- on registration history;
- possible accidents involving this car;
- ban on vehicle registration by bailiffs or other authorities;
- whether the transport unit is in the search database.
To do this, you just need to know and indicate the vehicle number in the required VIN line.
Having received the information, you may notice, for example, that the car is under restriction or arrest.
These are completely different concepts, and they differ from the ban on registration.
But arrest and restriction also entail a ban on registration activities.
Only if, when prohibited and restricted, the owner uses this car, then when an arrest is made, the transport unit is confiscated and is located in the impound lot.
Today the buying and selling process is quite simple.
- Both parties to the transaction fill out the agreement and sign it.
- This document is certified by a notary.
- Further, at the request of the parties, the car can be deregistered or not.
In fact, sellers are not always honest and do not mention the prohibition imposed on the vehicle.
When you come to the traffic police with a purchase and sale agreement, you may face a refusal.
And here it doesn’t matter whether you paid all or part of the amount for the car.
If restrictive or prohibitory sanctions are imposed on him for registration, traffic police officers will not carry it out.
They can carry out such actions only if there is an appropriate resolution to remove the ban from the vehicle.
Therefore, it is in the interests of the buyer to check the car proposed for purchase, so as not to end up with a bunch of problems with registration and ownership rights in the future.
If you are the seller in this situation, then you are also recommended to conduct a check before making a sale if you want to appear honest in the eyes of buyers.
Don't be afraid or worry if the fact of a ban comes to light.
Find out the reason, try to resolve the issue and independently submit the decision to remove it to the traffic police. This will make the selling process easier in the future.
