First, you need to know: a state registration mark is unreadable if at a distance of 20 meters it is impossible to read at least one of the letters or numbers of the back number, and in the light, at least one of the letters or numbers of the front or rear numbers. And secondly, a warning or a fine of 500 rubles is provided for driving a car with unreadable number rules.
So, you have a problem - the numbers have become unusable. As a rule, this happens as a result of an accident, deformation, peeling paint, and in some cases. What to do?
First of all, you (or your representative) can contact the traffic police at the place of registration of the car with a statement on the issuance of duplicates, that is, new numbers with old letters and numbers. Just do not forget to take with you the relevant registration document and pay the state duty in advance - today it is 1, 500 rubles. Please note that when receiving duplicates, you must simultaneously return the previously issued numbers. But what if you lost them or stole the numbers?
Then you have to tinker, because in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated January 20, 2011 No. 28 “On Amendments to the regulatory legal acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia” (changes in the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia of November 24, 2008 No. 1001 “On the procedure for registering vehicles”) duplicates in exchange for lost or stolen are not allowed. In case of loss or theft, you should contact the MOTOTER office at the place of registration of the car with a statement on the issue of new numbers. It is necessary to provide the car itself or the vehicle inspection certificate of the established form, as well as the documents listed in our list.
When issuing new license plates, you receive a new certificate of registration, changes are made to the TCP and insurance policy. Therefore, you need to pay in addition to the state duty of 1, 500 rubles:
- for amendments to the TCP - 200 rubles.;
- for the issuance of a new registration certificate - 300 rubles.;
- for issuing a new inspection ticket - 300 rubles.
