PTS-duplicate - is it dangerous? How to get a duplicate of the PTS. Where is the duplicate of the PTA issued?

A vehicle buyer may have problems if, when selling an auto, the owner provides a duplicate PTC. To such tricks often resorted to scammers, trying to get rid of the car, which is in hijacking. In order to avoid problems after purchasing a vehicle with such a document, it is necessary to thoroughly check the PTS, as well as to find out where the original went and why the owner was issued a duplicate. In any case, this situation should alert the buyer.

What you can learn from the document

Duplicate vehicle PTS, like the original, contains a lot of useful information for the buyer. When choosing a vehicle, this document should be studied very carefully. For example, if the machine has already been removed from the registry for further disposal, the new owner will not be able to re-register it.

In addition, the TCP can be found information about all accidents in which the vehicle was visited. Also, the document indicates the cases when the vehicle numbers were interrupted and, because of this, a criminal case was initiated.

Do not lose the PTS, because when selling a car there may be problems.

In what cases is a duplicate title required?

Before answering the question, how to get a duplicate of the TCP, it is worthwhile to understand in which cases such a document is required. When a vehicle is stopped, DPS officers check a certain list of securities. However, the TCP is not an obligatory document. The presence of this paper is necessary so that the owner of the vehicle can dispose of it. In some cases, there is a need to replace the original of this document with a duplicate:

1. If the owner of the car changed his name.
2. If there is no place on the blank for making new information.
3. If the owner has changed the place of residence.
4. If the original is damaged or lost.

How to get a duplicate of PTA

The duplicate of this document can be issued only to the owner or the owner of the vehicle on the day the application was submitted. However, there are exceptions. If an additional car check is required, a duplicate TC can be issued 30 days after the call. At the same time in the issued document in the column "Special notes" is marked "Duplicate. Issued in exchange for PTS ".

To get the paper owner or the owner of the car must provide:

• Application for duplicate title;
• Your passport;
• Certificate in which the ownership of the car is indicated;
• Documents that confirm the purchase of the car;
• A receipt for the payment of all necessary state duties;
• The policy of OSAGO;
• If the document was lost, then an explanatory note is required.

Things to Consider

To issue a duplicate of the TCP is not delayed, it is worth taking into account some of the nuances. The length of the process of obtaining a document can be extended if the owner has filed an application for the theft of papers to the police. It is better not to mention the missing documents in the list of missing documents. Indeed, at the moment, the Regulation on the registration of vehicles and trailers to them in the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Russian Federation is in force. This act was approved by the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on November 24, 2008, under number 1001. According to this document, the issuance of a duplicate title is allowed only after the case is completed on theft of securities. Typically, this is a fairly long process, during which the owner or owner can not dispose of the vehicle.

How the process of document recovery is carried out

Obtaining a duplicate of a TCP is a rather complicated process. To begin with, the owner or owner of the car must come to the MRE department with all the documents listed above. At the same time, the state duty must have already been paid. This sum is about 800 rubles. After that, the vehicle is driven to a special site, where it is inspected. The owner must necessarily wait for the traffic police officer. After the completion of these formalities, the expert puts a signature in the application. Then the owner or owner should apply to the appropriate window and file all the documents.

State duty is not the only fee that must be paid for obtaining a duplicate title. Will have to pay about 500 rubles. This is required to replace the vehicle registration certificate. If, in the case of a duplicate of a PTA, for example, on suspicion that the car is in hijacking, the owner or owner should be refused in writing and then file a complaint written in the name of the head of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. If this procedure does not help, you will have to go to court.

Why you should not trust a duplicate of PTS

Unfortunately, some people use a PTS duplicate to deceive. A fraudulent scheme with such documents is possible in two cases:

1. The vehicle is pledged to the bank.
2. The car was stolen. As a result, the new owner had to obtain a duplicate of the PTS.

The first option is most often encountered. After all, when buying a vehicle on credit, many banks keep the PTS in their possession. When the amount has been fully paid off, and all debt obligations have been removed from the owner, the document is returned to the rightful owner.

How scammers act

In order to remove obligations and get the opportunity to dispose of the machine, scammers apply to the traffic police with a statement indicating that the document was lost. Explaining all the carelessness or indicating another reason. After that, a duplicate is issued to him, which allows him to sell the car.

In this case, the new owner can face many problems. If the loan for the pledged vehicle is not paid, the bank has the right to sue. As a result, the new owner of the car comes with a summons. After that, all the checks are carried out and the details of the purchase and deception are clarified. If the new owner did not know about the pledge, then he has every right to file a claim against the former owner in court to recover his losses.

Specialists recommend paying special attention also in those cases when the vehicle is sold almost immediately after the purchase. This does not always indicate the "unclean hands" of the old owner. Perhaps the vehicle has a serious breakdown. Not always the sellers have a desire to lay out money for repairing the car. Therefore, it is worth to know what a duplicate PCT looks like, and how to check it.

How not to fall into the clutches of scammers

How do I find out a duplicate of a PTA to a certain car? There are several rules that will avoid many problems when buying a car. If the duplicate is a doubt, then it's worth checking the data:

1. It is worth paying attention to the number of car owners. If there are a lot of them and they have changed almost every two months, it's worth thinking about.
2. The number of the PTS should be checked with the number, which is available on the car.
3. It is also worth checking the region of the last owner and the registration area of the car. If they are located from each other at a great distance, then it is worth taking a purchase with special attention.
4. It is also necessary to make sure that the vehicle is bought from the direct owner.

How to distinguish a duplicate of a PTA from a fake

Many scammers do not receive a duplicate of the PTS, but simply forge it. To distinguish one from another, it is necessary to know some features of the document. First of all, you need to take into account that the production of forms for the issuance of duplicate PTS is carried out at the enterprise "Gosznak". Each document must have a corresponding protective watermark. Thanks to this, it is very difficult to counterfeit the PTS. If the document is made by fraudsters, then it will not be difficult to identify it.

In conclusion

When buying a vehicle, you should carefully check all documents. At the moment there are special websites of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, which have special bases of vehicles in hijacking. Check the car will not be difficult, most importantly - to know its numbers and the name of the real owner. It is not recommended to purchase a car through an intermediary.

Unfortunately, at the moment there are no bases of those vehicles that the bank has in pledge. It is quite difficult to verify such information. But there is only one way. You can check on the identity of the old owner. However, there is a nuance here too. If the loan was issued for another person, then the information will simply be absent.
