Features of the fine databases
The absence of a fine in electronic databases is a common problem in Russia, regardless of the region. Questions arising from drivers led to the organization’s management explaining on the official website why the fine was not in the traffic police database.
First of all, this is associated with the gradual transfer of data from the regional divisions of road inspections where the offense was recorded. There is a delay in loading information at each stage, as an accompanying document is required. It takes extra time to receive it. Therefore, you should not wait for official data in electronic form.
If you check the data a few days after receiving a letter or protocol from the traffic police inspector, they will already appear in full. You should rely not on information in open databases, but on an official document with the number and signature of the responsible person.
Procedure for entering into the database
The traffic police information base contains all drivers, vehicles, and you can also find out about committed violations. Since drivers are interested in: “After how many days does the fine appear in the database,” we will answer this question.
The appearance of information about a violation of traffic rules very much depends on the method by which this violation was detected. So:
- If we are talking about photo or video recording, then the information appears quite quickly;
- When a traffic police officer issues a fine in person, the information does not appear immediately, since employees do not have the opportunity to enter the violation into the database immediately after issuing the fine.
Info
It should be said that in all cases the period for the appearance of information about an offense should not exceed 3 days.
Within 3 days, a notice of the violation is sent to the vehicle owner with a requirement to pay a fine. This notification should reach the recipient within one week, but due to the fact that the violation may occur in another region and due to dishonest postal service, delivery of the letter may take from one to three weeks.
There are times when letters do not reach the desired recipient and are returned. In this case, even the recipient’s lack of notification will not be a valid reason for non-payment of the fine.
How information about a fine appears in the traffic police database
The owner of the vehicle who committed the violation first receives information about the fine. Next, the documents are transferred for loading into the information system. The following scheme is assumed:
- the data appears in the regional database;
- transit of information to the federal database is carried out;
- information appears in the Federal Treasury.
The latter department records payments in an information system that includes data on state and municipal payments. And only after that open information appears.
How long is data on an administrative offense stored in the Ministry of Internal Affairs database?
According to Part 8 of Art. 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, information is immediately transferred to the Federal Treasury if the payment was made in a terminal, Sberbank mobile banking, online service or from an operator at the bank. There is an answer to the pressing question of how long an administrative offense is stored in the database: it is recorded until it is completely repaid.
The transfer period ranges from 2 days depending on the chosen method. Thus, processing on the State Services website takes several weeks. If payment is not received, storage is carried out for an unlimited time.
Why is the information about fines on the State Services website different?
You can pay the fine with a 50% discount only within 20 days from the date of drawing up the protocol. Reasonable questions arise from vehicle owners - why the fine is not displayed on the State Services, and they find out about it when they not only missed the grace period, but due to the long-standing non-payment they must incur additional costs.
Important! Due to the fact that some banks do not want to install expensive equipment for interdepartmental electronic interaction, system failure, and other objective and subjective reasons, some confusion arises. In particular, if you do not receive timely information about the repayment of the payment debt, a fine appears in the State Services, which did not exist.
Period of time for storing information about violations
According to Art. 31.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, if the resolution to collect a fine within 2 years has not been enforced, the statute of limitations for applying compulsory measures to punish the perpetrator expires. Information about the fine must be deleted from the electronic database on the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate and synchronized with federal data. Practice shows that this does not always happen.
Updating information on official portals of government agencies
One of the reasons why there is a fine on the State Services, but not on the State Traffic Inspectorate website, is the fact that the database has not had time to be updated. Information on penalties imposed and amounts payable for violations may come from several departments with different technical equipment. The information update time usually takes from 6 hours to 3 days.
To be sure that you do not have any debts, we recommend that, even if the State Services does not show fines from the State Traffic Inspectorate, to ensure that there are no unrecorded decisions, you check the information on several information resources.
Traffic rules or parking violations in another region
If violations were recorded, for example, while you were on vacation or on a business trip, it is better to check these resolutions in order to pay the fine in a timely manner on the inspection website.
Despite the fact that the purpose of official government portals is to make it convenient to receive services, unfortunately, often, if sanctions are not imposed at the place of residence of the vehicle owner, the information is not displayed on State Services.
Lack of data on liability for late payment of fines
It is inexplicable, but it is a fact when courts, as part of punishment, hold people accountable for evading payment of a fine (Part 1 of Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offences) when they assign double the amount to be paid. Rather, receive written notification by mail. New information may not be added to the information system database immediately, which is another reason why fines from the State Traffic Inspectorate do not reach State Services.
What are the consequences of ignoring the requirements of regulations?
Even if there is no information on the website, all the details necessary for payment are in the resolution. Evasion of timely payment of a fine can lead to:
- additional expenses, since in addition to the principal debt you will need to pay a double amount;
- arrest for 15 days;
- performing forced labor for up to 50 hours.
Why is there no information about the fine issued in the database?
If you receive a fine, but it is not in the traffic police database, the reason is not always related to an early inspection. It happens that a request for information occurs in different information resources.
In case of verification through a mobile application, the data is provided from the Treasury information resource. The traffic police receives information from the State Traffic Inspectorate database. If a resolution is drawn up and entered into a regional resource, it does not immediately appear at the federal level.
Causes
Entering data on fines into the system is subject to certain rules. Therefore, among the main reasons why traffic police fines are not displayed on the website are the following:
- delay in transferring information from one database to another;
- different sources of information on websites;
- requesting information too early.
Thus, it becomes clear why there is no fine on the traffic police website, but there is a resolution. You should wait a few days and use the search again.
Do I need to pay
Often, a notification with a photo is sent by mail about exceeding the speed limit or for parking in the wrong place. It also contains the registration details of the vehicle. Motorists often check the fine against the database. If you receive fines, but they are not on the traffic police website, payment is still made. For this purpose, special services, terminals or a regular bank branch are used.
You can wait only if the car owner prefers to pay directly on the website where information about the offense appears. The only situation when payment is not made is if a citizen decides to appeal the decision. If the decision is not in his favor, payment is made after the court ruling enters into legal force.
Causes
This happens if there is a resolution on a fine, but no mention of it is displayed in the database on the traffic police website. There is an official explanation for this situation. If the necessary information is not in the database, then the reason may be extremely trivial.
Possible options:
- human factor: operator error;
- system failure;
- the information has not yet transferred from the regional database to the federal one.
Of course, the system is not yet fully developed, and therefore sometimes the necessary data is not displayed.
However, traffic police officers assure that drivers should not worry if the fine is not indicated in the required database. Often data arrives late, and sometimes does not reach the final destination at all. Even the traffic police officers themselves admit the fact that the system is imperfect. Therefore, you should not be surprised if there is a fine, but it is not in the special database. Separately, it should be said about the storage period of information. You may not be able to detect a fine that has already been paid, since if it is repaid, information about it will disappear from the database. Why does this happen? Because there is no longer a need to store such information.
How to solve a problem
Lack of information about foreclosure is not a reason to ignore it. If the traffic police fine does not appear in the database, several options are possible:
- Make the payment yourself;
- Contact your local traffic police department to clarify the situation;
- Wait for the fine to appear on the State Services portal.
When an inspector issues a resolution, a unique number is indicated in it. It must be included in the receipt, and then the payment must be made. It is important to save the receipt until information about the receipt of money in the traffic police account is confirmed.
It is important to know! If paid within 20 days from the date of the decision, a 50% discount is provided. Therefore, it is easier to deposit the amount using existing documents than to wait for the information to appear in the database.
There is no traffic police fine in the database
Any information systems fail. There are plenty of examples of this. When Odnoklassniki, VKontakte or Facebook went down, news about it quickly appeared in news feeds, and all social network users were very worried about their accounts and data security.
The same thing happens with official websites of government services. Domestic drivers are already accustomed to various Internet services, for example, the traffic police website, where you can find out a lot of information: check a car by VIN code or registration numbers, check for fines, and so on.
Many drivers are interested in the question: what to do if the traffic police issued a fine, but it is not in the database? Do I need to pay it immediately or wait until it appears in the registry?
Even certain myths are common among drivers:
- if you make a payment using the decree number, the money will go to no one knows where;
- You don’t have to pay any money at all and you won’t get anything for it.
In fact, an official explanation has appeared on the State Traffic Inspectorate portal so that drivers understand how to act in such a situation.
Why don't traffic police fines appear in the database?
The reason for this is the most banal. This could be either system failures, operator errors, or information has not yet arrived from the regional database to the federal one. Moreover, the fine appears on the official resources of the traffic police only after the information is received from the federal traffic police database to the Federal Treasury. That is, as we see, the system is quite complex and confusing.
You can also find fines on the State Services portal, which draws information directly from the Federal Treasury. And if at some stage there is a hitch, then information about the administrative violation will not appear on it. Well, among other things, there are now many different mobile applications for searching and paying fines, and they all have their own sources of information.
In a word, the most common reason for this situation is that regional bases do not always promptly interact with the central one. It is worth saying that this situation is not very beneficial for motorists, since according to existing laws they can receive a 50% discount if they pay the fine in the first 20 days after it is issued. We have already discussed this issue on our car portal Vodi.su.
What to do?
In principle, there is nothing complicated here. You have several options:
- make the payment yourself at the cash desk of any bank by filling out a receipt;
- wait for the fine to appear on the State Services portal, and this can sometimes take more than 20 days;
- Call your local traffic police department and clarify the situation.
In any case, a ruling on the violation in hand is quite enough to make payment. This document has a unique number, and you will need to enter it on the receipt that you will fill out at the bank. Be sure to save the receipt and call the traffic police after a few days to find out if the money has arrived in their bank account.
If you do not do this, then serious consequences await you. What will happen for late payment of fines - there is an article on this topic on our website Vodi.su. The easiest thing you will have to face is paying off the debt in double amount. Moreover, the fact that the fine did not appear in the database does not mean anything to representatives of executive services, because a receipt is enough for you to pay.
Well, we can also say that even in this case, you can use various Internet services to pay by decree number: WebMoney, Yandex.Money, QIWI. If you don’t want to stand in line for a long time at the checkout, pay through self-service terminals. The commission may be higher than at a bank, but you will receive a discount of 50% of the amount collected for an administrative violation.
Liability for late repayment
Administrative penalties should not be taken lightly. An unpaid fine can lead to the most serious consequences. The maximum payment period is set at 2 months. If the money is not received within the prescribed period, the traffic police officer transfers the information to the territorial Bailiff Department. Here, enforcement proceedings are initiated and a period of 70 days is assigned for voluntary repayment.
The case is then sent to court, after which the following actions are possible:
- Funds are blocked in the bank account;
- If fines amount to a significant amount, property may be seized;
- Restriction on the right to travel abroad of the Russian Federation until the debt is repaid;
- Administrative arrest for up to 15 days;
- Involvement in community service for up to 120 hours;
- Deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle;
- Restrictions on the validity of a driver's license.
Thus, the lack of information in the database is not a reason for non-payment of a fine. The decision of the traffic police becomes primary. Failure to make payment on time will result in more serious consequences for the offender.
