Electronic PTS for a car. How to get an electronic PTS? Transition to electronic PTS from July 1

Each car produced by the manufacturer is necessarily accompanied by a technical passport (PTS), which displays all important parameters, make and model, as well as unique numbers of important units and VIN number.

Cost of EPTS

Although document flow is moving into a digital format, you also need to pay a state fee for an electronic passport:

• For manufacturers it will be 250 rubles.
• For citizens – 600 rubles.
• Making changes to the EPTS – 150 rubles.

Currently, for issuing a duplicate or a new paper PTS, you must pay 800 rubles, and for changing information on paper, 350 rubles. You can save only if you re-register the PTS through the State Services website, the discount will be 30%.

The owner of a vehicle can order an extract from the electronic database after submitting an application to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, on the State Services portal or at the MFC.

The extract is not a copy of the electronic passport and represents only part of the information from the electronic passport. It is issued in paper form and looks like this:

In the process of registration and further changes, the EPTS is assigned one of the following statuses:

Registration of compulsory motor liability insurance for cars with EPTS

The news about the introduction of electronic registration of a technical passport for a car has excited car owners. Many are concerned about the possible delay in issuing compulsory motor liability insurance for a car with an electronic passport and how this situation will affect the subsequent procedure for registering a car with the traffic police.

As reported by RSA, it is planned to finally establish electronic exchange of information between departments by November 2019. Until this day, compulsory motor liability insurance will be issued on the basis of an extract from the electronic passport of the car.

During the transition period, an extract from the EPTS will be issued by dealers and attached to the executed vehicle purchase and sale agreement.

In the future, it is planned that an extract from the car’s electronic passport will be available at any MFC.

At the same time, in order to obtain insurance for a car, the contents of the extract from the EPTS must reflect additional information regarding the territory of primary use of the car. This data will serve as the basis for applying the appropriate territorial coefficient when determining the cost of the policy.

In the next year and a half, paper passports vehicle(PTS) in Russia can still be issued along with the electronic version of the document. As Izvestia was told by the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the previously planned mandatory introduction of e-PTS for new cars has been postponed. At the same time, some car companies in Russia will still begin issuing electronic passports in order to quickly go through the transition period. Izvestia’s sources in the business community attribute the new postponement to the unpreparedness of a number of manufacturers.

At a meeting of the board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), it was decided to extend until November 1, 2019, along with the issuance of electronic passports, the possibility of issuing passports of vehicles (chassis), self-propelled vehicles and other types of equipment in the form and in accordance with the rules approved by the member states or regulatory legal acts The EAEU, the press service of the EEC board told Izvestia.

The reason for this decision is the need to provide the EAEU states with the opportunity to “complete work on the creation of national segments of electronic passport systems for cars.”

The board did not say which EAEU state insisted on extending the transition period. According to Izvestia, the system is not ready in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus. Kazakhstan is at the final stage of the project.

The possibility of issuing paper passport forms will allow vehicle manufacturers, consumers, the business community, insurance companies, banks and others to be more fully prepared for issuing electronic passports, the EEC Board clarified.

The company JSC Electronic Passport (part of the Rostec state corporation), which is responsible for implementing the project, told Izvestia that Russia is the best ready for e-PTS.

In Russia, we are ready to launch the system; the first electronic passports may appear even before July 1 of this year. The main companies, those who are ready, will already begin this work. As far as I understand, a transition schedule for the remaining auto companies will be created,” Petr Evseev, a representative of Electronic Passport JSC, explained to Izvestia.

Automakers are reluctant to comment on the transition to e-PTS. Izvestia’s interlocutor at one of the European distributors said that the business community still does not have a clear understanding of how to fill out all the required fields of the e-PTS. The Mitsubishi representative office reported that they will retain the paper vehicle title throughout the transition period. The press service of the Chinese automobile company Chery will also retain paper PTS, but at the same time they will gradually begin to issue electronic documents. An Audi representative noted that the company will adhere to the deadlines established by the Eurasian Economic Commission. With a high degree of probability, Volkswagen and Nissan will switch to e-PTS on July 1, an informed source in the auto business told Izvestia. Both companies did not respond to the request.

The deadline for the mandatory transition to e-PTS is being postponed for the second time. It was originally supposed to happen on July 1, 2017. However, then Russian auto companies asked to postpone the launch of the system, citing different degrees of readiness, as well as financial problems due to the downturn in the car market.

The government initially did not need to set any final dates, automobile expert Sergei Ifanov is convinced.

e-PTS actually has more advantages than disadvantages for the consumer. If some company, already ready to work in this system, introduced it first, then, I assure you, it would have competitive advantage. The rest, looking at the opponent, would have pulled themselves up,” the expert noted.

An electronic passport is being introduced to replace paper documents as part of the digitalization of the country's economy. Such a document differs from paper in a large amount of information. In addition to traditional information about the owners, the e-PTS will contain certification data, as well as information on the number of accidents and their description, information on CASCO and OSAGO policies, maintenance, current mileage and design changes.

From July 1, 2019, paper PTS will no longer be issued in the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, Kyrgyzstan) - they will be replaced electronic versions document.

Initially, the date for the introduction of electronic passports was planned for July 1, 2017 (according to Decision No. 122 of the Eurasian Board of September 22, 2015 “On approval of the Procedure for the functioning of electronic passport systems”), but for a number of objective reasons the final date was postponed by a year.

What is an electronic PTS? What are the goals of introducing electronic documents? Is it necessary to change existing PTS to a new type of passport (when selling a car, registering, etc.)?

Electronic vehicle passport

A vehicle passport contains basic technical information about a vehicle (motorcycle, truck, self-propelled vehicle, etc.), as well as information about the owner. This document must be presented to the traffic police along with your driver’s license and insurance. Until recently, paper PTS were issued - unified forms with holographic stamps. The paper PTS indicated:

• car make and model,
• engine characteristics,
• year of manufacture of the car,
• place of registration of the vehicle,
• list of owners.

It was decided to replace the paper PTS with an electronic passport.

There are several reasons.

Electronic document management should remove from circulation papers that tend to wear out, contain a limited amount of information, and which theoretically can be lost.

An electronic vehicle passport, a set of digital data in the form of a record in a database, is completely free from these shortcomings. Electronic form data storage facilitates:

• processing by specialists of registration, accounting, tax and other authorities,
• speed of checking documents of the traffic police.

Electronic PTS will not have to be changed, including due to the next change of vehicle owner.

The main advantage of an electronic PTS is the ability to create a unified electronic database of all vehicles operated in the territory of the Union. This will make it easier:

• accounting,
• work to identify illegal transactions,
• will simplify the calculations of tax and customs payments,
• will allow you to quickly access the car’s history and much more.

Electronic PTS: how to apply

Electronic passports are already being issued along with paper PTS. From July 1, 2019, everyone who purchases a new car or goes through the registration procedure will receive a new type of documents. The issuance of an electronic vehicle passport automatically invalidates the paper PTS. There is no forced replacement of a paper PTS with an electronic one. Old type passports can be used until they run out of space to indicate information about the new owner of the car.

Any car owner has the right to change the old title. To do this, you need to apply to the nearest traffic police department. In fact, an electronic passport is an entry in a database. The car owner receives only an extract from the electronic PTS with a limited amount of data. Only the current owner of the vehicle can receive such a statement.

Electronic PTS status

The owner of an electronic passport can contact the traffic police at any time and receive complete information about his car. A citizen who plans to purchase a car will not be able to obtain data. The status of an electronic passport (like a VIN number) is the only way to find out anything about the vehicle. When requesting information about the status of the electronic PTS, you can receive the following response:

• valid (an electronic valid title has been issued for this vehicle);
• incomplete (at the moment a passport for the car is being issued, and the relevant data is entered into the electronic system);
• canceled (the vehicle has not been cleared through customs or is located outside the country);
• canceled (electronic PTS is invalid; the most common reason is that the car was re-equipped and acquired the characteristics of a vehicle of a different category);
• scrapped (the car was deregistered for the purpose of recycling).

Information about the status of the electronic PTS will help you make a decision about purchasing a car. The current PTS status means the legality and legal purity of the executed car purchase and sale transaction.

Extract from the database

According to the provisions of paragraph 12 of the Procedure for the functioning of electronic PTS systems, access to the database will be available to an extremely limited circle of persons. First of all, it is the owner of the car who can receive an extract. Having an extract in hand means that the citizen is the owner of the car (when buying a car, always ask to see the extract!). Complete information about the vehicle can be obtained by employees of the traffic police, tax, customs, registration and accounting authorities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the Federal Security Service, etc.

Extracts from the electronic PTS contain the following list of data (according to Appendix No. 1 to the Procedure for the Operation of Electronic Passport Systems):

• VIN number of the vehicle;
• name of the make, model, category of the vehicle;
• engine and chassis (body) number;
• body color;
• year of manufacture of the car;
• brand, type, volume and power of the engine;
• environmental class of the power plant;
• maximum permissible vehicle weight;
• registration area.

The statement lacks important information that is indicated in paper PTS. It will not be possible to find out the month the car was produced (a serious drawback: cars produced in January and December of the same year may have a significant difference in cost). There is no information about the country of manufacture of the car: the owner of a foreign-assembled car demands a higher price for the vehicle being sold. Data about former owners cars - only the owner of the car can find out about their number and only upon request.

First results of work new system electronic PTS

Electronic vehicle registration certificates have been issued on the territory of the Customs Union for the second year. Both car owners and specialists have already been able to evaluate their effectiveness. The goals of the initiators of the new system have been practically achieved: it is easier and faster to work with electronic PTS, because they ensure efficient operation government agencies, and computerized processing of digital data minimizes errors and allows you to quickly process certain papers. Electronic PTS cannot be lost, dirty or counterfeited. An extract from the PTS is available at any traffic police department.

Does the new system have any disadvantages? The use of electronic PTS has exposed a number of problems.

A serious issue is identifying the owner of the car. Having an extract in the hands of a citizen does not guarantee that you are the actual owner of the vehicle. There is no information about previous owners: it can only be obtained after purchasing the car.

Buyers of cars on credit may encounter certain difficulties. Today, banks continue to require the original PTS, and in its absence, they significantly increase the interest rate on the loan issued.

The government started talking about replacing paper PTS with electronic documents back in 2016. The transition to a “virtual” PTS was somewhat delayed due to the fact that it was necessary to rebuild the necessary information system, including in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, which form a single economic space with Russia. Now everything is ready for this small reform, and next month the procedure for registering PTS will be different. Abolition of paper PTS in 2018 - more details about the introduction of electronic PTS from July 1 of this year.

Cancellation of paper PTS from July 1, 2018

Starting next month, Russia will no longer issue the usual vehicle passports in paper form. When purchasing a new car at a dealership, you will no longer receive such a document in your hands from July 1st. The PTS will be issued in the form of an electronic document contained in a single database.

The introduction of electronic PTS was initially planned for July 1, 2017. It was postponed at the request of automakers and dealers, and not only Russian ones.

In such EurAsEC states as Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, a year ago they were not ready to launch an electronic document management system for PTS. Russian car dealers also asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade for a deferment. As a result, the state took a break for one year, during which time the system was prepared.

The actual electronic database of vehicle passports was launched at the beginning of 2018. Automakers and car importers began entering information into it on January 1.

What information will be contained in the electronic PTS

An electronic document will contain much more information about the vehicle than a paper document. In fact, it is planned to enter almost all the information about what is happening with the vehicle. Except perhaps for the facts of refueling or washing. The electronic PTS will contain records with the following information:

• manufacturer or importer of the car with all its details,
• the dealer who sold the car, with details,
• information about the owner, including tax identification number, telephone number and address email,
• data on MTPL and CASCO insurance, including all insurance payments,
• results of technical inspection, including vehicle mileage at the time of maintenance,
• data about everyone repair work which were carried out with the car, with information about the auto repair shop,
• information about each accident in which the car has been: date, time, location, damage received,
• possible encumbrances (banking, collateral, inheritance, etc.).

Thus, if the system works as intended by the authors of the innovation, after a few years it will be very difficult to hide any details from the history of the car. For example, for buyers on secondary market everything will be as transparent as possible.

Of course, outsiders will not have access to information in the electronic PTS. Only the traffic police, as well as the owner of the car, will be able to view the database regarding information about their vehicle. It will be possible to request information from the electronic PTS when purchasing a car on the secondary market only from the current owner.

Do I need to change paper PTS to electronic ones?

Of course, no one obliges owners of paper PTS to urgently change them to electronic document. If you really want to replace the paper PTS with an electronic one, you can even now, but this is not necessary.

There is no time-limited transition period during which vehicle owners would have to replace paper PTS with electronic ones. The transition period will continue as long as vehicles produced before 2018 are on the road.

From the available explanations, it is not yet entirely clear how the re-registration of cars purchased on the secondary market will be carried out. Whether at this moment paper PTS will be converted to electronic ones or not, nothing is said.

As for the cost of issuing an electronic PTS, it turns out to be an even more profitable document than a paper one. If a paper PTS costs 800 rubles today, then an electronic document will cost an individual 600 rubles, and automakers 250 rubles.

Dmitry-125

I am going to enter into a purchase and sale agreement for a car that does not have a title at all and never had one, only a technical passport (the car was registered in 1993 and has had one owner all this time), which the owner has not changed since the car has not been used since 1997 year. If I go to the traffic police after July 1, will they give me a paper PTS or an electronic one?
