Registration of a car by inheritance: all the subtleties of the process

Issues discussed in the material:

• What are the nuances of registering a car by inheritance with and without a will?
• Does the heir have the right to use the car before it is registered as ownership?
• What is the procedure for registering an inheritance for a car after the death of the owner?
• In what cases is it better to refuse a car that is inherited?

Anyone who has ever formalized ownership of an inherited car and registered it with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate knows what nuances one will have to deal with. But there have been changes in the norms of legislation, in the very procedure of state registration of vehicles in the traffic police. You will learn how to inherit a car today in our article.

Some nuances of inheriting a car

When using a vehicle (vehicle) after the death of its owner, be prepared to encounter a number of nuances. Firstly, with the fact that the documents without which it is impossible to drive a vehicle (PTS, OSAGO and CASCO policies, registration certificate) will not have legal force.

In addition, the power of attorney issued in someone else’s name to drive a vehicle will expire. It is prohibited to use a car in the absence of the necessary documents; therefore, for six months after the death of the owner, until the right to the inherited property is received by another person, it will not be possible to use the vehicle for its intended purpose.

Before the inherited property is registered in accordance with the law, the future owner of the car can take care of it, maintaining it in working order, pay any fines, not forgetting to keep receipts and receipts just in case (if disputes arise between the heirs in the future).

A car purchased by proxy is not included in the estate; it is returned to the rightful owner. The money paid by the testator in this case is also not returned to the heirs, because in this case we are not talking about the actual sale of a car that was in temporary use. To obtain the right to use such a car, the voluntary consent of the owner is required.

Registration of a car by inheritance with and without a will

The law provides two options for receiving inherited property after the death of a citizen:

• in the first case, we are talking about inheritance by will, i.e., the testator worries in advance about transferring his property to the heirs;
• in the absence of the will of the deceased, the property is inherited by law.

Since the vehicle belongs to the property of the deceased, it is inherited in one of the above ways. It is important not to forget that for this it is necessary to follow a certain order and procedure, within the deadline established by law.

If there is no will, then all relatives of the deceased have the right to inherit in accordance with the order and degree of relationship. The priority right to receive all of the testator's property, including vehicles, belongs to the first priority heirs - spouses, children and parents.

The right of inheritance passes to the heirs of the second and subsequent orders in the absence of heirs of the previous orders, as well as in the event that these people are excluded from inheritance or renounce it voluntarily.

The second line of heirs is represented by full and half-blood brothers and sisters, grandparents, as well as nephews of the deceased.

The third line is represented by aunts, uncles, cousins.

The fourth includes great-grandparents.

Fifthly, the right of inheritance belongs to cousins' grandchildren (children of their own nephews), great-aunts and grandfathers (siblings of grandparents).

The sixth line is represented by great-great-grandchildren (children of first cousins), first cousins ​​(children of first cousins), and great aunts and uncles (children of great-uncles and grandmothers).

Seventhly, stepsons, stepdaughters, stepfather, stepmother can claim the inheritance.

Requirements for registration of will

The procedure has a number of features. If you do not adhere to the rules established by law, the will is invalid. The result of the trial to declare the document void is the cancellation of all the stated conditions and the transfer of property to the primary heirs. As a result, the car becomes the property of first-degree relatives, and the people specified in the expression of will receive nothing.

Personal document writing

Printed text is permitted as a last resort, when the physical capabilities of the author of the will are limited, as confirmed by a medical report. The contents are stated personally by the testator. Taking dictation is also prohibited. The only thing you can use is the recommendations of a notary or a hired lawyer, and only if the advice concerns legal norms and formulations. The testator decides who inherits the car.

Signing a will in the presence of a notary

This measure is necessary: ​​only a notary has the right to confirm that the signature was affixed by hand. The adequacy and capacity of the owner of the car is also established. During the process of registering a will, an employee of the notary's office explains all the consequences and features that need to be known and taken into account.

An unworthy or incompetent heir will not be able to inherit the car. The notary is not obliged to check this condition. Make sure in advance that the successor is worthy and capable.

Testator's capacity

This term means two characteristics:

1. Coming of age . Citizens under 18 years of age do not have the right to sign legal documents. The exception is emancipated persons who have married, given birth to children, work and receive official income. The certificate of recognition of emancipation is issued by the court. Otherwise, it will not be possible to give away the car according to the will.
2. Adequacy . Incapacity can be permanent or temporary. In the first case, we are talking about pathological changes in the body that lead to irreversible consequences when the psyche and nervous system suffer. Temporary incapacity is removed, but until there is a corresponding medical certificate, it will not be possible to rewrite the car under the will.

Notarization confirms that the will was drawn up by the legally capable owner of the car.

Identification

The notary's office will confirm that the will is drawn up by the actual owner of the car. But to prove your identity, you need a valid civil passport. If the document is expired or a photocopy of it is presented, the notary will refuse to accept and certify the will.

How to register a car by inheritance if there are several heirs

The peculiarity of a vehicle as an inheritance is that it cannot be divided into parts - accordingly, the car can be transferred for use only to one of the heirs. If there are several claimants to the property of the deceased, then the main one is obliged to pay compensation to the others in accordance with their shares and on the basis of a conditional agreement. The owner of a car is determined based on a number of rules:

• A car purchased during marriage is inherited by the spouse of the deceased.
• If the spouses are divorced, then neither of them has the right to apply for a vehicle, since they are not a relative of the deceased.
• If the heir is a person under 18 years of age, the car will be transferred to his parents until he reaches adulthood.
• If the testator has disabled parents, a spouse or children who have not reached the age of majority, then the heir under the will must pay them compensation, the amount of which is half the cost of the vehicle.
• Along with the car, the obligations to pay the testator's debts and fines pass to the heir.

If the heirs cannot agree among themselves peacefully, issues of car inheritance are resolved in court.

How is a car divided between heirs?

In 2021, the car physically cannot be divided between several heirs; the money from its sale or the right to manage it are divided. So, if among the legal successors are members of the same family living together, for example, a mother, daughter and son, inheriting the property of the deceased head of the family, then, in accordance with the will or the law, each of them is entitled to a certain share in the car. Any of the heirs in accordance with Art. 1122 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation has the right:

1. Exchange this share for another property of equal value, inherited, in which they also have a share. The purpose of the exchange is to obtain unrestricted ownership.
2. Sell ​​your share to the remaining heirs, receiving appropriate monetary compensation.
3. Use property in which he has a share on an equal basis with other owners (Article 1165 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

In the case of a car, the last statement means that the heir can drive the vehicle and use it for his own purposes (after registration). At the same time, he will still have to coordinate his actions with other owners, which is not so simple; in 2021 it is better to sell or exchange the share.

If the heirs of the car do not come to a consensus on the size of the shares or the future fate of the property, they go to court and resolve this issue in the presence and at the direction of representatives of the law.

Does the heir have the right to use the car before it is registered as ownership?

Currently, there is no need to issue a power of attorney to drive a car. Having received the relevant documents for it from the owner of the vehicle, you can safely drive it. With the death of the owner, the person who received the right to use the car from him during his lifetime is obliged to return the car. The vehicle is subject to inclusion in the inheritance until the claimants to the property of the deceased are identified. Third parties who used the vehicle, but are not related to the heirs, are obliged to transfer it either to future heirs or to a notary.

If no one claims the property of the deceased, no difficulties arise. In such a situation, you should contact a notary - he will issue a certificate of actual entry into the inheritance before drawing up a document on the right to it. In this case, the heir’s ownership of the car will be legal. Even if you missed the six-month deadline for entering into an inheritance, the right to own a vehicle can be established in court. In this case, we are talking about actual inheritance, since the person who actually uses the car maintained it, did maintenance, etc.

Other persons who claim to inherit a car and who disagree with the situation can go to court.

Inheritance of a car after death after 6 months

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation has Article 1151, dedicated to the inheritance of escheated property, i.e. property that for some reason was not accepted by the heirs during the allotted time and therefore transferred to the state.

An individual will have to prove his right to own a car in court, where he will have to explain why he was unable to complete all the documents within the specific time frame specified in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Extenuating circumstances include a disease as a result of which the person fell into a coma, as well as a foreign business trip. If it can be proven that at the time of the death of the testator, the potential successor was in places where there is no communication (postal, telephone, Internet), then the court will also make a decision to extend the deadline for entering into inheritance.

The procedure for registering an inheritance for a car after the death of the owner

Keep in mind that registering a car as an inheritance requires not only effort and time, but also certain knowledge. In order to transfer the title to a car, you should:

• prepare a certain package of documents;
• visit a notary;
• contact appraisers;
• do not forget about the insurer;
• contact the traffic police;
• pass a technical inspection;
• pay two types of fees.

The law allows six months from the date of death of the testator to formalize the right to inheritance. First of all, you should contact the notary at the place of residence of the deceased with an application to accept the inheritance or issue a certificate of right to it.

When registering a car as an inheritance, you can combine two applications, including in one request for the issuance of a certificate of inheritance. An example of such a statement has not been developed at the legislative level, but it must include certain information:

• Name of the notary office and full name of the notary.
• Address of the notary/notary office.
• Full name of the applicant.
• Applicant's address details.
• Full name of the deceased.
• Date of death of the testator.
• Information about family ties.
• The address of the deceased's place of residence, where he recently lived.
• Indication of existing heirs, the degree of their relationship and residential addresses.
• Information about which line of heirs the applicant belongs to.
• Data on the composition and amount of the inheritance (as for a car, you must indicate its make, year of manufacture, VIN code, engine number; valuation).
• Request for the issuance of a certificate of inheritance.
• Date of.
• Signature and its decoding.

How to make a will for a car

The legal framework required when drawing up a will for a car:

• Constitution of the Russian Federation;
• Civil Code;
• Methodological recommendations developed by the Federal Notary Chamber.

The initial requirement when drawing up a declaration of will is compliance with the written form. The will must be notarized.

The following situations are exceptions:

1. The testator lives/is located in an area where there is no notary. The document is certified by an authorized person (head of local government).
2. The person is in prison, the order is certified by the head of the institution.
3. The sailor has gone on a long voyage, the order is certified by the captain of the ship.
4. If a citizen’s life is in danger and he cannot visit a notary, then a will can be made in ordinary written form. The main condition is the presence of witnesses during its preparation. This type of will is executed by court order.

Example. Citizen F. was the owner of the car. He decided to pass it on as an inheritance to his youngest son. The testator sought legal advice, received recommendations for drawing up a statement of will and decided not to have the document certified by a notary. Citizen F. decided to notify his wife of his will and not pay the notary fee. However, after his death, the notary did not accept the written document, since it was not endowed with legal force. The car became part of the inheritance by law.

Requirements for filling out an order:

1. The order is drawn up personally by the testator.
2. Executing orders through a proxy is prohibited.
3. The testator can provide his own draft order or express his will to a notary.
4. The will is signed in the presence of a notary.
5. When drawing up an order, a person must be fully capable and understand the consequences of his actions. Otherwise, the order can be challenged in court.
6. The citizen's identity is verified by passport.

When drawing up a will, the interests of the obligatory heirs are taken into account. Such persons are entitled to a portion of the assets, regardless of the text of the order (Article 1149 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Its size is ½ of the applicant’s share according to the law.

When submitting an application for inheritance, you must present a passport or other identification document to the notary. A list of documents for registering a car as an inheritance will be given to you at the notary's office.

When applying for a certificate of inheritance, you should collect a package of documents, including:

• passport;
• death certificate of the testator;
• will (if any);
• a document that confirms relationship with the deceased (this can be a birth certificate, marriage certificate);
• car registration certificate;
• PTS;
• vehicle assessment document.

The “Fundamentals of Legislation on Notaries” (Article 22) establishes the obligation to pay a state fee to obtain a certificate of inheritance. When contacting private notaries, you must pay for the service provided according to the tariff (see table):

State duty and tax

In 2005, the inheritance tax was abolished in the Russian Federation.
But the obligation to pay the state fee remained with the heirs. The state duty does not have a fixed amount and depends on two parameters: the cost of the car and the category of the heir. For close relatives, the state duty is set at 0.3% of the price of the car, but not more than 100 thousand rubles .

For other categories there is a tariff of 0.6%, but not more than 1 million rubles.

As for the transport tax, it begins to accrue in favor of the new owner from the moment of the death of the testator, and not when a certificate is received from a notary.

The need to pay personal income tax when selling a car will only arise if the heir has owned it for less than 3 years. In this case, the owner must submit a declaration in form 3-NDFL.

Car valuation procedure for inheritance registration

When registering an inheritance for a car after the death of the owner of the vehicle, it is necessary to pay a state fee for obtaining a certificate of inheritance, which is calculated on the basis of an assessment of the value of the inherited property. You cannot do without an appraisal if the property is divided by several heirs. The appraisal report must be taken into account by the notary.

The independent expert’s report must contain data on the market value of a vehicle of this brand. The document must contain the data of the expert (expert organization), information about compulsory car insurance, etc. If the notary has doubts about the assessment, he has the right to challenge it. In case of disputes between heirs, they can turn to experts independently of each other. The notary proceeds from the minimum established value of the property.

In order to evaluate the car, you can contact any company engaged in such work. There are quite a lot of such companies currently.

When contacting such an organization for further registration of a car by inheritance, pay attention to whether it has the necessary certificates that allow it to perform this type of work. The heirs themselves must provide the appraiser with:

• identification document;
• a copy of the death certificate of the owner of the car;
• a copy of the vehicle registration card;
• copy of PTS;
• a copy of road accident certificates (if available);
• data on previously performed repairs and replacement of spare parts.

After the assessment agreement is concluded, the expert sets a time and date for inspecting the car. During the inspection, the vehicle is inspected, recording existing damage and defects, including hidden ones. The mileage is determined and the wear and tear of the car is assessed as a percentage.

Registration of a car by inheritance without a preliminary assessment is impossible, since a notary without this document has no right to issue a certificate. The assessment is carried out in the personal presence of the applicant for the inheritance; the assessment act must contain his signature - as well as the signature of the expert. In addition, the heir is given the right to make comments related to the examination performed.

A number of appraisal organizations do not inspect cars in detail. To perform an assessment, use one of the methods - income, cost or comparative. The expert's report contains an opinion in accordance with the assessment methods used. The document must also indicate the market value of the vehicle, which depends on:

• year of manufacture of the car;
• mileage information;
• body condition;
• engine functioning;
• availability of additional equipment (alarm system, car recorder, navigator);
• relevance of the car make and model;
• loss of market value;
• the average cost of such a car.

The assessment report is supplemented by photographs of the car and a list of regulations and benefits used in the assessment process. The written document is certified by the signature of the expert and the seal of the organization.

A certified copy of the appraisal report will not hurt the applicant for the inheritance. The documents provided for the evaluation of the car, copies of expert certificates, the conclusion and the report are sealed into a single package of documents. To determine the value of the vehicle, without which it is impossible to register the car as an inheritance, it takes no more than 3 days from the date of contacting the appraisal company.

The procedure for entering into car inheritance rights

First you need to contact a notary, providing him with a package of relevant documents.
After this, the lawyer “opens the inheritance.” This is the name of the six-month procedure, during which all relatives who consider themselves legal heirs can submit documents to the notary. All submitted documentation is subject to thorough checks. In addition, the duties of the notary include searching for all heirs, even those who have not applied to him. To confirm material attachment to this property, the heir must present some documents:

• death certificate;
• if there is a will, you will need a copy of it;
• passport;
• documentary evidence of family ties;
• PTS and STS of the car;
• expert assessment of the vehicle;
• payment of duty.

It is worth paying attention to the vehicle assessment . To do this, you will have to seek help from an independent expert who has the appropriate accreditation. This action is important, because the amount of the duty is determined based on its results. In addition, the amount of compensation for the remaining heirs is calculated. After the waiting period has expired, the notary issues the relative a certificate confirming the right to receive the inheritance.

Documents for registration of an inherited car

Having received the appropriate certificate, you can begin registering the car. First, it is recommended to look at the diagnostic card. If it is overdue, you will need to perform a scheduled inspection. An insurance policy is also issued. In its absence, further registration will be impossible. At the last stage of receiving an inheritance, you must personally visit the traffic police department to carry out the registration procedure.

You will need to take the following documents with you:

• Application for changes in information about the vehicle.
• The original passport of the citizen of the Russian Federation who is the heir.
• Originals of STS, PTS and other available title documents for the vehicle. In addition, you will need their copies, which are certified by a notary’s signature.
• A certificate on the basis of which the heir is considered legitimate. As a rule, this document is issued by a notary.
• Agreement between heirs, if there are several of them. The conditions for the division of property are stated here.
• There are situations when the right to receive an inheritance is determined through the court. In this case, a court decision is issued, which must be attached to the documents.
• Insurance policy.
• Duty payment receipt.

Re-registration of a car after the death of the owner

When the owner of a car dies, the heir must take care of its proper registration. Only in this way will he be considered the rightful owner. If there is a will, this is done immediately. In the absence of such a document, the procedure is possible only after six months.

Through "State Services"

The advantages of this method have long been appreciated by many car enthusiasts.
On the State Services portal you can perform many registration procedures. No exception is the re-registration of a car after the death of the owner. Thanks to this service, there is no longer any need to stand in long queues. All necessary documents can be submitted online. Surely many car owners are already registered on the State Services website. If not, then you can do this without much effort by visiting the portal https://www.gosuslugi.ru. Here you will need to log in and select the action you are interested in. Then the user will see a special application form electronically, which must be filled out with the relevant information. When submitting your application, you will need to indicate which branch is convenient for you to appear at. At the appointed time, the applicant will need to arrive with the paid fee and the necessary documents. On the same day, the owner will be issued new documents.

Insurance renewal process

To inherit a car, you need to take out a compulsory motor liability insurance policy. To do this, submit to the insurance company:

• statement;
• passport;
• certificate of inheritance;
• vehicle registration certificate;
• PTS;
• diagnostic card (if its validity period has expired, you must undergo a technical inspection to obtain it);
• notarized power of attorney for the representative (if he is involved in registration).

Having received the package of documents, the insurance company enters into an insurance contract, returning the registration certificate, certificate of inheritance, and car registration certificate in the name of the previous owner to the new owner.

Insurance is paid, and the cost of the policy may vary depending on:

• type of car (number of passenger seats, engine size, power, etc.);
• fixed place of car registration;
• purposes of using the vehicle;
• period of operation of the car;
• driving experience of the policyholder;
• term and functionality of the insurance policy.

If we talk about the benefits of insurance, they are as follows:

• in free evacuation of cars from the scene of an accident (the service can be used twice during the year);
• free delivery of fuel (no more than 10 liters);
• in technical assistance and advice on the road;
• in discounts on additional services and services.

Registration of a car by inheritance in the traffic police

Having received a car by inheritance in 2021, the new owner is obliged to contact the traffic police within 10 days from the date the notary issues the title documents in order to register the vehicle. During this time, you are required to undergo a technical inspection, receive a diagnostic card, and issue a compulsory motor liability insurance policy.

In order not to waste time in line at the traffic police, you can make an appointment through the State Services portal or MFC (multifunctional public service centers). Registration of a car by inheritance in the traffic police through government services will be similar - you need to prepare documents, write an application, pre-pay the state fee and make an appointment at a convenient time, arrive at the appointed time at the traffic police, provide the car for inspection, and then receive a new registration certificate and license plates (if desired).

Of course, registering a car as an inheritance can be done without a prior appointment, simply by arriving at the traffic police department, but it will take more time, because you will need to stand in line. The method of contacting the registration authority does not affect the provision of a package of documents. Vehicle registration requires the provision of:

• heir's passports;
• PTS, vehicle registration certificates;
• certificates of inheritance;
• MTPL policy;
• receipts for payment of state duty.

The cost of registering an inherited vehicle at the traffic police depends on whether you keep the old license plates or want to get new ones. The difference will be 2 thousand rubles. – price of new license plates.

When registering a car as an inheritance, you must pay for a new vehicle registration certificate (500 rubles), make changes (information about the new owner) to the title (350 rubles). If there are no empty lines in the PTS, you must purchase a new technical equipment passport form (800 rubles)

When applying for car registration through the State Services portal, you can receive a discount of 1/3 of the cost of the services received. Payment is made through the website by non-cash method.

What to do if the deadline for registering an inheritance for a car has passed

The period for accepting an inheritance in accordance with the law is 6 months from the date of death of the testator. If the date of death is unknown, then the six-month period begins from the moment the court decision to declare the citizen dead comes into force.

If the deadline for accepting the inheritance is missed, it can be restored, for which it is necessary either to resolve this issue with the remaining applicants voluntarily, or to do this in court. The deadline is restored if it is missed for valid reasons (the reasons for inaction must be confirmed).

If the heirs refuse to enter into the inheritance or are deemed unworthy, the heirs of the next line are called upon. The 6-month period for them starts from the date of loss of such rights by the heirs of the previous line. That is, the period for accepting an inheritance extends for a year from the date of death of the testator.

Keep in mind that registering a car as an inheritance can be simplified by drawing up a deed of gift for it in advance. Then the heir will be able to use the car until the end of six months, saving on re-registration of the vehicle. If there are no claimants to the property (or with their consent), a deed of gift can be drawn up by the testator during his lifetime.

The date the car becomes the property of the heir is entered into the document after the donor dies. From this date you can register the vehicle and use it.

Meanwhile, registering a car in this way for a distant relative may turn out to be unprofitable for the latter, since the Tax Code requires payment of a tax in the amount of 13% of the value of the donated vehicle. Close relatives will not have to pay tax if they do not sell the car within the next three years after receiving it as a gift.

In what cases should you give up a car that is being inherited?

In the absence of heirs, their refusal to inherit, or their recognition as unworthy, the property shall be transferred to the disposal of the state. If the six-month period established for accepting the inheritance was missed by the heir for a good reason, then to restore it, you should go to court.

If the deceased has debts that exceed the value of the inherited property, it is more advisable to renounce the right of inheritance. It should be borne in mind that it is impossible to refuse part of the property by accepting another part of it. In this case, the heir must completely renounce his share in the inherited property.

When a person receives an inheritance, the debts of the testator are also transferred to his share of the property. In some cases, this may be disadvantageous for relatives. Even if the property of the deceased is actually accepted, the heir may refuse to accept the inheritance within 6 months. After formally renouncing your rights to inherited property, it is impossible to return these rights in the future.

The nuances of selling a car inherited

If the heir has decided to sell the inherited car, there is no need to intermediately register a vehicle for it and contact the traffic police. All you need to do is find a person who wants to purchase a car and conclude a purchase and sale agreement with this person.

If the heir does not want to exercise the right to register a car by inheritance and immediately sells it, then there is no need to enter data about the heir into the PTS. In this case, the new owner (buyer) is entered into the PTS, and the heir signs in the “Signature of the previous owner” column. By the way, it can be profitable to buy your car - we guarantee a fair price and money on the day you call.

Then the new owner (buyer or donee) is required to perform the following actions:

• passing a technical inspection;
• purchasing a compulsory motor liability insurance policy;
• registration of the car in the traffic police.

The list of documents required to register a vehicle was given earlier. In this case, this list is supplemented by the purchase and sale agreement. When registering, the new owner cannot do without a certificate of inheritance from the seller, confirming the intermediate transfer of ownership of the car received by inheritance.

The traffic police may require the original certificate of inheritance, or a notarized copy will be sufficient. Upon completion of registration of the car, the certificate is returned to the heir.

Thus, if the heir has no intention of using the car he inherited, then there is no need to register it in his name. Selling it will be a simpler and less expensive solution.

However, we should not forget about the obligation in certain cases to pay tax on the sale of a car. This is necessary if the vehicle will be sold at a price exceeding its initial cost. The amount of tax, as well as the amount of state duty, is affected by the cost of the car.

As a standard, you will have to pay 13% of the amount received after the sale in excess of 250 thousand rubles. That is, if the vehicle cost 300 thousand rubles, then the tax will be calculated on 50 thousand rubles, which is the difference between the first and second cost. When selling a car for less than 250 thousand rubles, the obligation to pay tax does not arise.

Do I need to draw up and submit a declaration?

Since there is no need to transfer a fee for the valuables received, a declaration is not needed. Therefore, if any real estate or car is inherited, there is no need to notify the Federal Tax Service about this by submitting a declaration.

If you plan to sell the car, you will have to fill out a declaration. If the car was owned by the heir for less than 3 years, then income arises on which tax must be paid.

Filling rules

If the car is sold immediately after its registration or within the next three years, then you will have to transfer a fee from the funds received, as well as correctly draw up a declaration.

When forming it, the following nuances are taken into account:

• the sales price of the car is indicated, which must be equal to the indicator specified in the contract;
• personal information about the citizen is recorded;
• a tax calculation is provided, for which 13% is charged on the income received, and the applicable deduction is also taken into account.

How to buy a car in another city and what are the advantages? The answers are here.

Important! This document must be submitted by the end of April of the year following the year in which the car was sold.
