Registration and deregistration of a vehicle by proxy raises questions among those who are faced with this for the first time. In order not to waste time, it is important to know how to do this correctly.

Until recently, a notarized power of attorney was required for registration actions with someone else’s vehicle. This year, it is enough to issue a handwritten document with the owner’s signature (Articles 185 - 189 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Chapter 10). The changes also affected the package of documents for carrying out procedural actions with someone else’s vehicle.

The powers that the document gives

Any vehicle receives the right to participate in road traffic only after registering it with the State Traffic Inspectorate . The procedure is carried out by the owner of the vehicle. But in some cases, the owner cannot do this personally for a number of reasons. The law allows accounting actions with vehicles by proxy.

A power of attorney for registering a car with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate is a confirmation of the transfer of authority to a third party, who receives the opportunity to carry out all registration actions, after which the rights and obligations arise to the owner of the vehicle. The principal and third party can be both physical and legal entities.

Documents confirming the registration of a car (or other vehicle), executed with the participation of an authorized person, are issued in the name of the owner who issued the power of attorney.

What is a general power of attorney for a car and how to formalize it correctly.

Power of attorney to drive a car.

On the basis of a power of attorney received from the owner, a third party represents the interests of the principal without his participation in the registration authorities.

The document gives the right to perform the following actions:

• Registration of a vehicle purchased at a car dealership , imported into the territory of the Russian Federation, assembled independently or imported into the Russian Federation temporarily for a period of at least 6 months;
• Changing data when purchasing a used car , processing design changes, obtaining new license plates, registration documents, movable property passports if they are lost or have become unusable;
• Upon sale of a car or theft - termination of registration;
• Deregistration for removal of a vehicle outside the country or for its disposal.

To obtain information certificates from the MREO regarding the registration and re-registration of a car, as well as to appeal the actions of a traffic police inspector through a third party, a power of attorney from the owner will be required.

The rights to carry out registration activities can be specified in a document granting the right to drive a vehicle to a third party.

From an individual

The owner of a car, an individual, can entrust another citizen to perform various actions in the traffic police.

The execution of a power of attorney is the same algorithm, as well as the composition of the details, as for a document from a legal entity. The only difference is that the principal will be required to provide passport data (series, number, registration, year of birth). There will be no stamp on the power of attorney; a signature is sufficient.

It is advisable to issue several copies, since one of them may be taken away by the traffic police. To certify a copy, you will need to contact a notary.

Decor

A simple written power of attorney does not give authority to complete a sale and purchase transaction or exchange, or to use a vehicle as collateral.

The document must indicate the passport details of the owner and the intermediary, detailed details of both parties: registration and actual residence addresses, a list of powers granted, signatures.

Information regarding the vehicle must contain:

• model name and brand;
• body color;
• release date;
• information about PTS;
• license plate;
• body and engine numbers.

When filling out, you must indicate the date of the power of attorney and its validity period, which by default is 1 year, and is limited, if necessary, to a maximum period of 3 years. For prompt communication between the MREO specialist and the owner, the latter’s contact number is indicated.

If an MREO specialist refuses to carry out registration procedures, while requiring a notarized power of attorney, you should receive written explanations according to which the authorized person is denied authority.

Who can represent interests in the traffic police

Interests in the State Traffic Inspectorate may be represented by:

• Owners of the vehicle personally.
• Authorized persons by power of attorney.

An important condition is the citizen’s legal capacity (Article 21 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Minors under 18 years of age cannot be trusted. An exception is emancipation (Article 27 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), for example, marriage of a 16-year-old citizen, recognition of full legal capacity by a court decision.

A traffic police inspector is trying to check the trunk - how should the driver behave?

The legal capacity of the car owner also matters. If the car is pledged or under arrest with a prohibition on disposal, then it will not be possible to sell or lease the property using a power of attorney.

If the power of attorney is issued by a legal entity that does not actually exist (liquidated), then it does not have rights to the vehicle, and the document has no legal force.

The power of attorney may indicate several persons who are authorized to represent interests in the traffic police, who can act separately or jointly (parts 5 and 6 of article 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Document form

To avoid mistakes in drawing up a written power of attorney, it is recommended to use online resources and download a ready-made form.

The paper presents the data in the following order:

1. City and date of document execution.
2. The details of the two parties are in strict accordance with the passports.
3. Car data: make, body type, color, etc.
4. Places of registration and residence of both parties (for enterprises - location).
5. Delegated powers (a complete list of them) relating directly to the vehicle.
6. Validity period of the document. Default is 1 year. The period cannot exceed a period of 3 years.
7. If the principal considers it possible to transfer powers from the intermediary to another entity, he mentions this in a separate paragraph.
8. Personal signature of the parties to the agreement (or the head of the enterprise and the authorized representative).

How long is a power of attorney for a vehicle valid?

A power of attorney to drive a car, like other types of powers of attorney, has its own validity period. In this case, the principal can terminate the agreement at any time. Cancellation of a document at any time is possible if the following circumstances arise:

• One of the parties died;
• The conditions specified in the power of attorney were violated;
• The parties' data or vehicle parameters have been changed;
• Either party has become a party to bankruptcy proceedings;
• The right transferred by proxy was exercised.

But if you cancel the power of attorney, you must notify the other party about this. After the power of attorney is terminated, the document is returned to the principal.

Execution of an agreement by a legal entity

Legal actions in the interests of a company without a power of attorney are available only to its director.

Registration of a car purchased by a legal entity can be performed by an individual (company employee) only with a power of attorney. The document is certified by the management of the company with the signature of the director or administrative authorized group.

To transfer rights to an individual, the company’s management issues an appropriate order that regulates the need for these measures.

The power of attorney specifies:

1. Organization, address and location of the head office.
2. Organization details.
3. Passport details of the head of the company.
4. Reasons (order number and date).
5. Full name, passport details, position in the company of the authorized person.
6. List of powers.
7. Place of registration and other actions (you can specify the exact address and number of the traffic police department).
8. Restrictions, if any.
9. The validity period of the power of attorney (by default, legally, it will be 1 year).
10. Director's signature. The presence of a seal imprint is not a necessary measure.
11. Place and date of drawing up this paper.

• If it is not possible to provide the vehicle for inspection on the day of registration, you can present a report to the traffic police from the expert organization that conducted the inspection.
• The MREO will need to fill out a number of documents. When registering and carrying out other registration activities by proxy, all documents are filled out by a proxy.

A written power of attorney for registering a car greatly simplifies the registration procedure for both private and legal entities. The availability of online applications allows you to use ready-made sample documents and download forms to fill out.

Rules for registering a car

A power of attorney to perform registration actions does not change the procedure and cost of the procedure. An authorized person representing the interests of the car owner performs the following actions:

1. Make an appointment to avoid standing in line. You can print a coupon for the current day at the self-service terminal in the branch (the number of coupons is limited) or submit an application on the State Services portal
2. Submits documents for inspection to a technician at the reception window
3. Places the car on the inspection site, where the inspector checks the VIN number, markings of the body, chassis and numbered units with the title
4. Receives STS
5. It shows license plate numbers (if the region code matches the region code of the owner’s registration)

You can make an appointment and complete registration steps without queues using State Services. An authorized user with a confirmed account must select a service and fill out an electronic application form, then select the branch where the STS will be issued and the time of the visit. When a car is registered by a trusted person, the application must tick the appropriate box and indicate the details of the person representing the interests of the owner.
