Hello everyone! On November 3rd I went to register my car. Everything happens in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny. I had heard that there was something wrong going on at the traffic police, and there were long queues. I filled out an application at the office to change the owner of the car. (240 rubles, including all copies). I’ve been printing out and filling out the sales contract myself for several years now. Then I went to the reconciliation site. One inspector goes through all the cars. I found the second VIN code. It is located under the back of the rear right seat (but they did not look at it). Based on the fuss of many owners, I realized that the engine number is also checked. For convenience, I removed the air filter box. I didn’t see anything positive. Something was visible, I thought it would give me a ride.

He came to me five times and applied rust neutralizer.

The major approached. I told my assistant to remove all the paint on the last six numbers. The cup was painted, only the first layer was cleaned.

They gave me a certificate.

In the spring of 2016, they began checking engines again. So now, when buying a car, you need to be more vigilant.

Next stage! We need to submit documents. To do this, you need to write an application at the State Services and take an electronic queue there. I did this on November 7th, the next free day. The department accepts it regardless of what day you are signed up for, you just need to get in line.

On the morning of the 4th, a holiday, I went to submit my documents. Got in line. Short day. And the inspectors decided on this day to accept only those who registered for this day. So he left.

I arrived on Monday and calmly handed over the documents. There were 3 people before me. We found fines. A year and a half ago I sold nine. Still not registered. I had PrEP with me, which resolved this issue. An hour later I picked up the documents.

On the day of reconciliation, I made a duplicate of the numbers in advance. The old ones were worn out for 8 years. And here they don’t stand on ceremony with the old ones, “Replace the numbers!” and that's all. It cost 750 rubles.
