How and where to print a receipt for paying a traffic fine

Every driver, even the most responsible and attentive, sometimes violates traffic rules and receives fines for it. Previously, when the traffic police did not yet have means of photo-video recording, each violator immediately received a receipt and a resolution from the traffic inspector who issued the fine. Now you can find out about the presence of a fine at a completely unexpected moment, and the period for its payment is calculated not from the moment the receipt is received, but from the moment the violation is recorded. From this article you will learn how you can get a receipt for paying a fine.

How to get a receipt for payment

If the traffic violation was recorded not by a traffic police officer, but by a special camera, then notification of the fine should arrive by mail. However, this method has two disadvantages:

The notice can take quite a long time, which is why the driver may miss the deadline for appealing the fine (10 days), the deadline for paying a fifty percent discount (20 days), or even the full deadline for paying the fine (60 days).
The letter with the receipt may simply get lost during the delivery process or may not arrive at all. However, liability for failure to pay a fine in such cases is not relieved. If the driver does not check for fines on his own, then upon expiration of the payment period the amount of the administrative fine may triple (Article 20.25 of the Administrative Code).

Of course, letters are not lost very often: usually the driver has enough time to pay the fine after receiving the receipt by mail. But the expiration of the payment period with a discount due to a delay in the letter at the post office is a quite common situation.

Fortunately, drivers have other ways to find out about a fine and get a receipt:

website of the Traffic Inspectorate - https://traffic police.rf/;
State Services portal - https://www.gosuslugi.ru/;
regional websites and portals (for example, the Autocode portal works for Muscovites - https://avtokod.mos.ru/; and the website of the city mayor - https://www.mos.ru/).

Advice! If you do not need to pay the fine at a bank branch, then you don’t have to print the receipt at all.
The fine can be paid directly through the same sites, using electronic wallets or Internet banking. You can read in detail about all the methods of paying fines in this article. Drivers who are not registered on the above sites can also find out about the presence of a fine any day, but using more time-consuming methods:

visiting the traffic police department;
visiting a traffic police post;
calling the regional traffic police hotline.

How can I print a document?

After registration, the driver will be able to log into his personal account and open the “Fines” section. Most of the data on the receipt is filled in automatically, since the driver entered the vehicle number and registration certificate when creating his personal account. You must fill in the blank lines yourself. The next step is to search for penalties, which can be done through the “find fines” link. In the window that opens, information about debts, the timing of their payment, and places where offenses were committed will be collected.

This data will allow you to print a document confirming payment of the collection from the traffic police website. At the top of the portal there is a “Drivers” tab, which contains the “violations and fines” section.

The driver must select the region of residence or the one in which the offense was committed. Next, you need to indicate the inspection department whose employee issued the penalty. Based on the search results, a receipt is generated, which the driver must print and take to the bank for payment.

The driver must write down details and contact information if the bank needs to clarify any issue related to the issued fine. Motorists can call phone numbers to clarify the amount of sanctions, payment deadlines, where the receipt was sent, and when the penalty was paid.

Thus, it is easy to print out a certificate for payment of the collection; you just need to register on the websites of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and the State Traffic Inspectorate. This is the easiest and most accessible way to receive the required document, since you do not have to wait for the letter to arrive.

What information is needed to receive a receipt and pay a fine?

To pay a fine at a bank branch, the driver must provide the cashier with a printed receipt. You can also repay the debt through some ATMs or terminals; for this you do not need to have a printed version of the receipt with you: just enter the necessary information:

Full name indicated in the resolution (if the violation was recorded by a camera, a fine is imposed on the owner of the car);
details of the resolution or UIN;
amount to be paid.

However, before visiting a bank branch, the driver will still have to obtain information about the fine in order to find out the order number and the amount of debt. This information will not simply be in the public domain; in order to obtain it, you will have to provide your personal data.

To check fines through the traffic police website, you need to enter the state. numbers and STS number. And on the State Services website you can check for fines using your driver’s license number.

How and where can you find out about traffic police fines?

It often happens that the owner of a vehicle first learns about the existence of an administrative offense from a postal notice. This is due to the appearance of video cameras on the streets that record all events captured by the lens. You can find out information about existing offenses in several ways:

At the traffic police department, providing the employee with a driver’s license.
By calling the local traffic police phone number. You can find out the number at the city information service or on the State Traffic Inspectorate website www.gibdd.ru/ by selecting the desired locality.
By sending an SMS message to number 9112. In the text of the message, enter the abbreviation of the traffic police, then indicate the vehicle number and driver's license number separated by spaces. The cost of the service is ten rubles.
On the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate in the “Checking fines” section. To do this, you will need to enter the details of the vehicle registration certificate and its state number. Information about all unpaid collections is displayed here. It happens that data on a payment that has already been made has not yet entered the information system and is displayed on the page as unpaid. This occurs due to incorrectly transmitted information from the organization where the payment was made. To correct the situation, you should send a scanned paid receipt yourself using the appropriate link on the website.
On the State Services portal www.gosuslugi.ru/. In this case, you will need to register on the site, after which you will have access to the services. In the section “Traffic Police Fines” there is a detailed description of the service , where you need to confirm receipt of information. Next, an application form is provided, in which you must enter the number of the vehicle and driver's license. Information about outstanding fines via the Internet is provided completely free of charge.

Is it possible to take a decision online?

For some actions, for example, appealing a fine, you may not need a receipt, but a copy of the decision itself. It is already much more difficult to obtain. If the order issued by the inspector or sent by mail is lost somewhere, then you can get a new one only at the traffic police department. It will not be possible to obtain a resolution through online resources.

To obtain a copy of the lost resolution, you must come to the traffic police department and submit a written request to restore the protocol. Unfortunately, problems often arise with obtaining a copy, since employees redirect the driver to other departments or, under various fictitious pretexts, refuse to issue the document.

How to pay a traffic police fine using a barcode?

select the payment section;
press the barcode payment item;
bring the document to the scanner;

Click: “Pay”.

How to get a receipt for paying a traffic fine? It is impossible to give a clear unambiguous answer to such a question. It all depends on the personal preferences of the individual.

Firstly, a receipt can be issued directly when a violation is committed. The payment order is issued by traffic police or traffic police officers and then handed to the driver.

Secondly, you can independently generate a payment slip on the State Personal Account website, then use the “Check fines...” option. In the results obtained, after selecting a payment, just click on the “Generate order” button to receive an electronic form.

Thirdly, when wondering where to get a receipt for paying a traffic police fine, citizens can use the official page of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Russian Federation. Here in the “Services” section you need to select “Checking fines”. After receiving information about charges, the system will offer to either close the debt or create a payment order.

But that's not all. The last scenario is to receive a payment order in the established form directly from the traffic police or MREO. A citizen must have a passport with him. By contacting the local State Traffic Inspectorate, a person will be able to request a form with the details. This is where the fine can be settled.

How long should I keep payment receipts?

Sometimes, after paying the fine, the driver continues to be listed as a debtor. The most common reason for such injustice is a technical glitch. To protect yourself from such problems, it is recommended that you keep your fine receipts for as long as possible. The statute of limitations for traffic police fines is 2 years; upon completion of this period, the receipt can be thrown away.

However, from this point of view, it is most convenient to pay the fine via the Internet (electronic wallets or bank applications). In this case, the payment receipt will be issued electronically and stored on the company’s server. You can download and print it at any time.

How to restore a fine payment receipt?

If the driver did not save the receipt and was among those who remained “in debt” even after payment, there is still a chance of avoiding repeated punishment. If the driver manages to remember the account number, place and approximate time of payment, the receipt can be restored. This is not difficult to do, just go to the desired bank branch, taking your passport with you. The main problem is establishing the account number and time of the transaction.

Is it possible to find out what the traffic police fine is for?

The reason for imposing the fine is indicated in the resolution, which describes in detail the circumstances, date, place and participants of the incident, as well as the article of the law under which the punishment for this violation and the penalties were applied.

The website of the State Traffic Inspectorate also contains an article describing the elements of the violation. The contents of the article can be found in various paper and electronic sources.

So, finding out about debt on fines will not be difficult if you have a cellular connection and the Internet, with the help of which you can independently check whether the payment has been credited, check the details, and print a receipt without visiting the traffic police. This is a big plus for saving time and nerves, since queues at State Traffic Inspectorate offices are not uncommon.

In addition, it is possible via the Internet to activate the service of notification of new fines by email or SMS to a phone number. This service will reduce the possibility of overdue collections. The service can be disabled at any time.
