PTS filled in by mistake, what to do and where to go to cancel the erroneous entry

Tips for drivers: how to cancel an entry in the PTS about a new owner if the deal falls through?

Whatever you say, our state cares about its citizens - it does everything to make their life easier and more comfortable.
To sell a car, for example, today you don’t have to run through authorities and collect signatures and certificates. It is enough to draw up an agreement, enter the new owner into the title, receive the money and hand over the car keys to him. Everything seems to be simple. Everything, but not everything... Commercial break

Our reader is faced with an insoluble (as he considers) problem. He agreed with the buyer to sell his “swallow”. A purchase and sale agreement was drawn up, a corresponding entry was made by hand in the PTS, and the seller and buyer put their signatures there. The seller only has to receive money for the car and hand over the keys and documents to the buyer. But the deal unexpectedly fell through - the buyer jumped out at the last moment. The seller asks: “What should I do with the entry in the PTS?”

Recording in the PTS by the parties to the transaction at the stage of selling the car is a legal procedure. Yes, the parties can entrust filling out the PTS to a traffic police officer at the stage of its registration, but then the seller will have to go to the MREO together with the buyer - not everyone will agree.

To make life easier for people, the state allowed the seller (or buyer) to enter data about the new owner into the title on their own (by hand - only legibly and without errors). The new owner will still not be able to drive the car and carry out any actions with it (sell it to someone else) until the traffic police mark (below in the field) about its registration appears in the PTS.

About seals. If an individual sells a car to an individual, there is no stamp next to their signatures.

Tip 1: Cross out and don’t sweat it

If an entry about a new owner appears in the title, but the transaction does not take place for some reason, the seller (old owner) of the car can simply cross out the entry and indicate the reason for this action in the “Special notes” field. As a reason, you can write the following: “The contract is terminated”, “The transaction did not take place”, “The entry is invalid” or “Canceled”.

Important: under this inscription you should put your signature and the signature of the failed buyer. If you can’t “get” the latter (he died, went to prison, moved to Australia, or simply disappeared), you can limit yourself to the signature of the seller, but in this case, questions may arise in the future - from the next buyer of the car or from the traffic inspector who will register the car next time.

It is quite possible that this will work and you will sell the car without problems, but we would advise you not to give the title to the buyer for signature until the transaction is completed. You put only your signature on the passport and in this form transfer the documents to the new owner. If the deal falls through, there is no buyer’s signature on the PTS, so you can completely calmly cross out the entry about the new owner, make a corresponding entry in the “Special notes” field, put only your signature there and then “live calmly and happily”...

Tip 2: lose your PTS (issue a duplicate)

Some experts advise in such cases to “lose” the PTS and contact the traffic police to obtain a duplicate. You don’t have to lose it on purpose, but put your passport in a bath of water and then report it as unintentional damage (my wife washed it along with her trousers)…

In fact, there are no fines for the loss, destruction or damage of a vehicle passport. To obtain a duplicate, the car owner will only have to pay a state fee. Additional expenses are a minus. But if something happens, you won’t have to prove that you didn’t sell the car. It seems like a plus. But is it significant?

In the new document, “Duplicate” will be written large at the top in colored letters. Many car buyers are deterred by the presentation of a duplicate title. They may simply think that you did not lose the original title, but were holding it to perform some fraudulent activities... In short, no one wants problems, so selling a car with a duplicate title can be difficult.

The owner of a duplicate may also encounter problems when purchasing an MTPL policy. Insurance companies, as knowledgeable people say, for some reason do not like such car owners.

Thus, it is still better to have an original PTS with a crossed out entry than a “clean” duplicate PTS.

Perhaps, soon, when PTS become electronic, all these problems with records and signatures will disappear by themselves. But for now it is what it is. Good luck!

What does it mean?

Often, motorists discover that their car’s title has been canceled only after contacting the traffic police for some reason.

If such a problem is discovered, you should not panic, but find out the reason why your car’s title is on the wanted list.

• The most common reason is that the car is listed as stolen. This problem often arises in cars purchased on the secondary market, especially foreign cars. Cars stolen in the West and Asia reach Russia through the countries of the former CIS.
  A related reason is that the car was registered using forged documents, or the body and chassis numbers were changed. This usually means that the car or its components have a criminal record (theft, participation in an accident, etc.). If traffic police officers discover that your car has been stolen, has problems with registration or changing license plates, do not panic.

  The main thing is not to hide from the police. Let the traffic police officers become your allies, not your enemies. Voluntarily hand over your documents and license plates and answer all questions honestly. If the offense was committed by the previous owners, it is in your interests to establish the truth.

  After the reason for which the title was canceled is eliminated, the right to use the car will be returned to you.

  If you continue to drive your car, it will be forcibly taken away from you and put in an impound lot until the end of the proceedings.

• 
  The car did not go through customs as expected. Smugglers use various tricks to save money at customs, including forging PTS or registering several cars under one license plate.
  Sometimes this is revealed after several years. In this case, the current owner of the car receives a notification that the customs office of such and such a city is looking for a customs certificate for a car with such and such a number, and in connection with this it cancels the PTS issued by it in such and such a year. To solve this problem, you must pay all unpaid duties, penalties and fees.

• Another common reason for the cancellation of the PTS is the non-compliance of your car with environmental standards Euro-5 , which was adopted for execution by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 12, 2005 N 609. In this case, the car will have to be re-equipped.
  When the reason for the cancellation of the PTS, whatever it may be, is eliminated, in accordance with clause 51 of the Automobile Vehicle Registration Rules, the car will be returned to the owner. He will be issued new registration documents and plates, as well as a new title.
• Sometimes the title can be canceled because someone registered a contraband car of the same make and color on the registration papers of yours. When such a scheme is discovered, the registration of both cars is canceled.

If the vehicle registration is cancelled, your actions will be as follows:

1. Send a request for the reason for cancellation to the traffic police. You should receive an official response within a month.
2. If the cause can be eliminated on your own, do it.
3. Then write an application to the local traffic police department to restore registration.
4. If a written refusal is received, go to court.
5. If you can prove that the reason for the cancellation has been eliminated, the court will oblige the traffic police to issue you new documents and restore your registration.

Correcting entries in the “About work” section

The instructions (clause 1.2) prescribe, if it is necessary to make corrections to the employment record, to proceed as follows.

The inaccurate (incorrect) entry is followed by the following number, the current date, in the third column it is written: “The entry for No. ... is invalid.” Next, the correct recording is made.

Here are examples of how to correctly cancel entries in a work book.

Example 1 – invalidation of an employment record.

Example 2 – invalidation of an employment record due to the cancellation of an employment contract.

Similarly, records of dismissal or transfer to another permanent job are invalidated (if the court or supervisory authority recognizes the illegality of dismissal and reinstatement to the previous job or the wording of the reason for dismissal is changed). Moreover, in the fourth column, the order (instruction) of the employer, issued on the basis of the decision of the relevant body, is recorded as the basis, but not the decision itself.

Example 3 – invalidation of a dismissal record.

Example 4 – invalidation of a transfer entry.

Example 5 – invalidation of a dismissal record with a change in the wording of the reason for dismissal.

In the latter cases, the employee has the right to demand in a written application that he be given a duplicate work book without an invalid entry.

What are the dangers of forging a signature in a PTS?

At this point, everything will depend on whether this is true or not. If this is truly the case, then the vehicle will most likely be confiscated from you as material evidence, or the real owner will be able to seize this car from you through the court as being in your possession illegally, since it left his possession against his will.

In this case, you can at least somehow protect yourself by selling this car. Later this will be problematic, or in principle unrealistic _____________________________________________ Your question: forging a signature in a PTS Hello. 09/30/15 I sold the car under the DCT in a simple written form, entry into the title was not given, neither mine nor the new owner signed the title, as I understand it, he has 10 days to register.

but today, 10/3/15, they call me from the traffic police and report that my car had an accident on the night of October 2-3, the driver disappeared. I only have the DCP left in my hands, all the other documents are with the new owner, they are looking for him, they are demanding an explanation from me.

Cancellation of an incorrect entry in the work book

The work book is the main document of a citizen working in an organization and therefore, if errors occur in it, you need to know how to cancel an entry in the work book. The document is needed to calculate the length of service for a pension. However, HR department employees sometimes make mistakes when filling it out. To prevent the situation from leading to unpleasant consequences, there is a need for your own understanding of this issue.

The most common errors are entries such as:

• about incorrectly indicating the position when applying for a job;
• on an incorrectly specified date;
• in references to articles of law that do not correspond to the current situation.

In addition, a change is needed in cases where an employee had to quit illegally, and was later reinstated by a court decision. Then the employer will need to invalidate the corresponding entry.

The main document that regulates the filling rules is Resolution of the Ministry of Labor No. 69 of 2003. Another document that helps to navigate this issue is paragraph 30 of Government Decree No. 225 of 2003, according to which it is impossible to cross out or correct entries in the section where data on work and awards is indicated.

How to cancel?

According to the latest changes, cancellation of registration when the owner of a car changes is no longer possible. This suggests that when deciding to sell your car, you do not necessarily need to go to the traffic police and hand over the license plate with your passport.

Cancellation can be made on the basis of documents already in hand regarding registration.

Every driver should know how this procedure is carried out, how registration is canceled and how a new one is obtained. Here is the procedure for canceling vehicle registration:

• preparation of all necessary papers;
• writing a statement to the traffic police, outlining the desire to completely stop the vehicle’s title;
• the vehicle is taken away for expert assessment and an official inspection certificate is obtained;
• With this document, you need to contact the standard traffic inspectorate in order to receive a new passport.

It must be remembered that the registration of the vehicle must fully correspond to its own.

In other words, if you sell or buy a car in one intended location, and then move with it from one city to another, you will need to cancel the car after completing the corresponding transaction.

In such a situation, you will need to go through the procedure described a little above.

If the driver is already the owner of the car and simply changes his place of residence, he will simply need to take the official application and all the required documents to the new place of address registration.

In this case, the car is automatically removed from its previous place of registration.

Corrections

According to the law, personnel department employees or the employer directly must indicate any entries, as well as cancel various entries in the work book. When a company is reorganized, this responsibility passes to its legal successor, and if liquidation is carried out, the manager must also issue the necessary document.

To conduct your work correctly, it is important to follow all the rules, in particular:

• indicate the number when recording employment, dismissal or transfer;
• fill out the “Information” section with the name of the company and the employee’s position;
• at the end indicate the name of the paper that is the basis for this decision.

Thus, the rules for keeping records are not difficult. These include the following:

• records are numbered;
• information is written in paste of certain colors;
• abbreviations are unacceptable;
• entries are written in Russian;
• the information is certified by the signature of the responsible person and the seal of the organization.

When an entry is cancelled, information is indicated that the information is invalid. An example of how to cancel a job entry in a work book may be as follows.

Vasiliev G.A. hired as an administrator on November 13, 2016, based on an order from the director of the company. However, the personnel officer indicated the wrong date. Then, strikethroughs and corrections are unacceptable. Therefore, below he simply entered the number in order, the date and phrases such as: “Entry number 10 is invalid. Accepted by the administrator on November 13, 2016.”

Sample record correction

The employee who discovers the error must take the following actions:

• receive an order from the head of the organization;
• make changes, for example, by making the following entry: “Entry No. 11 is invalid. Hired as cashier on October 13, 2014.”

If there is an error in the date of birth, then the incorrect information is crossed out on the title and the correct data is entered. For this purpose, a passport is provided (its serial number is written on the side).

Sometimes an incorrect date is entered due to the fact that the book is not opened until the employee has worked for the company for several days. Only after five days do they fill out the labor form. Therefore, personnel officers can enter the date when they make the entry, that is, later than the actual start of work. However, it is necessary to correctly write down the number indicated in the employment order.

A sample might look like this. Ivanov V.V. was hired at Tashkent LLC as a cashier on 06/06/2016. On the same day, a corresponding order was issued, but the personnel officer indicated the wrong date of 06/12/2016. When this was discovered, Ivanova V.V. requested that the date be corrected. Then the manager issued an order, and the personnel officer made changes. It is important to remember that strikethroughs are not allowed on the title. The form should be replaced as it is considered damaged.

If an employee was fired for illegal reasons, but was later reinstated, this must be reflected in the book. To do this you should:

• invalidate the mark;
• request paper from the previous place;
• indicate the correct wording and the date when the changes were made, as well as the number of the underlying document and a link to the law.

An incorrect entry in the future will prevent the employee from finding a job, especially if it is indicated that the dismissal is associated with a major violation. Therefore, the record must be corrected.

If the error is noticed only years later, then changes should also be made. They are carried out by personnel officers of the organization where the incorrect information was entered. The procedure goes as follows:

• the employee submits an application to the company’s HR department;
• there the document is submitted for consideration to the head of the organization, who issues an order on its basis;
• after that changes are made.

Thus, there are different situations in which records are considered incorrect. These include the following:

• if the information is indicated in ink that does not meet the standard or the style is generally violated;
• if the wrong personal information is indicated, as well as the date of employment, dismissal and reason, position;
• if there are incomplete data.

It should also be taken into account that responsibility for storing books falls on the manager. The personnel officer will be responsible if there is an order from the director, and the corresponding provision is in the instructions. If the document is lost, the responsible person will suffer the following punishment:

• an employee of the personnel department will have to pay a fine of one thousand to one and a half thousand rubles;
• the employer faces a penalty of thirty thousand rubles. up to fifty thousand rubles, or suspension of the entire organization for up to three months.

Even during that period of time when an employee takes a work book from the personnel department in order to submit it to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, leaving a receipt, the responsibility from the personnel officer is not relieved. Therefore, he is recommended to personally take the labor document to the Pension Fund or issue a copy of the document certified by a notary.

How to correct an erroneous entry: step-by-step instructions

Currently, the traffic police is working to convert all PTS into electronic form. It is expected that in a few years paper documents will become obsolete. Already now, all the information contained in them is duplicated in an electronic database.

Therefore, the practice of making changes to PTS is gradually changing. Just a few years ago, the owner himself could enter everything necessary into the form, be it changing the owner of the car or repainting it. Today this is no longer entirely appropriate.

All notes entered manually will remain only on the paper form. The electronic PTS will contain completely different information. Accordingly, any audit will reveal discrepancies, and the consequences may not be the most favorable - even suspicion of fraud.

1. To make any corrections to the PTS, it is better to contact the traffic police department where your vehicle is registered. Only the owner can do this. Neither family members with his documents, nor other persons have this opportunity.
   This minimizes the possibility of a situation in which corrections to the PTS will be made bypassing the owner. This can be used for criminal purposes, for example, in order to register another person as the owner of a car.

   If for some reason there is a need to send another person to the traffic police, the owner must write a general power of attorney in his name . It is necessary to write in it:

   • The purpose of the issuance is to give the named person the right to make changes to the PTS.

   Date of issue of the power of attorney and its validity period. It shouldn't be too big.

2. Passport data, including series and number, the owner of the car and the person for whom the power of attorney is issued.
3. Possibility of transferring the right to make changes to a third party.
4. After this, the power of attorney and a photocopy of the car owner’s passport must be certified by a notary. An outsider can also write an application to amend the PTS with these documents.
   Regardless of whether the owner of the car or another person by proxy writes an application to make changes to the PTS, You will need to take the following documents with you:
   • Car owner's passport. A driver's license will not replace it.

   PTS of the car.

5. 
   With these documents you will need to go to the registration window and write an application to change the information in the PTS. You can find a sample there or ask the office staff.

If the reason for the change does not require verification, making changes to the PTS will take one business day . But there are often cases when traffic police officers believe that they have the right to check everything properly. In this case, you will be asked to bring the car for examination, they will request documents for a detailed study, and the changes will be ready within a month.

If you are denied this service, demand an official justification for this in writing and go to court. Make sure that all seals and signatures are on the paper as required.

Cancellation of a purchase and sale agreement

In order to terminate the contract for the purchase and sale of a car, it is necessary to include this clause in the content of the document. In private cases, such securities are rarely concluded on a voluntary basis.

If one of the parties refuses to terminate the contract, then the interested party has the right to submit a corresponding application to the traffic police department.

Important! An erroneous entry in the PTS without the presence of a terminated contract or the consent of the second party cannot be canceled.

Carrying out the procedure

Resolving issues with the sale of a car involves simply canceling the entry in the title. To carry out the procedure, additional applications to the State Traffic Inspectorate are not required. In this case, the recorded information is crossed out and the owner of the car enters a detailed explanation in the column “about special notes”.

The meaning of the entry should reflect the insolvency of the transaction (“cancelled”, “termination of the contract”). Seller and buyer records are required as proof. The document does not need to be notarized or pay a fine.

Before purchasing a car, it is imperative to check the cancellation status of the vehicle registration with the traffic police. When carrying out the procedure, a document is issued that has a special hologram of a high degree of protection.

Wrong entry - what to do?

Deregistration of a car involves making a new entry with the personal initials of another owner. The lack of information indicates that the sale procedure is illegal, so traffic police officers have every right to issue a fine and drive the car to a special parking lot until all the circumstances of the case are clarified.

Writing an erroneous entry requires written confirmation that it was made accidentally. This information must be secured with a personal signature with an explanation of the surname.

Purchasing a car without re-registration with a power of attorney is fraught with consequences, since such a car may be on a stolen list or wanted for criminal offenses.

Reasons for the cancellation procedure

One of the main reasons for the cancellation of a vehicle registration record is the presence of fake documents for the car, since its registration is considered an illegal act.

In some cases, spare parts (engine) do not have original papers confirming the legality of their acquisition, therefore such a record of the vehicle registration is also subject to mandatory cancellation according to all documents.

Cancellation of a PTS due to the lack of an appropriate certificate involves contacting the authorities to restore it.

In case of illegal registration of a car and failure to submit documents to the traffic police, the car is considered unregistered and may be on the wanted list.

If a car is illegally imported and subsequently registered when document falsification is detected, the car is deregistered. The practice of such fraud is observed in regions of the country that border with other states.

Possibility of special loss of car passport

Losing a car passport means the loss of all information, but the owner will have to fulfill the following conditions:

• mandatory payment of a fee imposed by the state for the loss of a document. At the same time, re-registration costs about 500 rubles;
• receiving a new document marked “Duplicate”, which can significantly slow down the sale of the car. Buyers are wary of such securities, as they suspect fraudulent schemes;
• refusal to issue an insurance policy from the company, since the presence of a duplicate raises doubts about the provision of the service.

Therefore, when considering the situation that has arisen, it is preferable to have the original passport with a correctly executed canceled entry, since a duplicate may raise additional questions about replacing the main document.

The obvious advantages of canceling a PTS record are the absolute legality of the procedure and the absence of possible problems during the sale of a car to a new owner or when re-registering documents.

Cancellation of a PTS entry is easily carried out independently without the control of traffic police officers. If any questions arise, you can contact the traffic police for advice and fill out the document correctly.

Instructions for filling out PTS when selling

Now, when selling a vehicle, there is no need to deregister the vehicle. Any actions performed with the car are entered into the traffic police database. The seller is only required to draw up a purchase and sale agreement with the future owner and personally fill out the fields about the new car owner in the registration certificate, receive a financial reward and transfer the car to him.

Further actions to register ownership at the State Traffic Inspectorate will be carried out by the new owner of the car.

To briefly describe the stages of the transaction, the previous owner will have to do the following:

1. Find a buyer.
2. Draw up documents on the transfer of the vehicle to the new owner in 3 copies (1 is kept by the owner, 2 are given to the buyer for further confirmation of the transaction by the traffic police).
3. Filling out a PTS when selling a car, where all the information about the new owner is entered. If any of the participants in the transaction is a legal entity, a seal is required in the same place. If there is not enough space in the PTS to enter information, it is recommended to draw up a new document with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate before concluding a transaction, otherwise the transaction will be considered invalid.
4. After issuing a receipt for financial remuneration, the seller transfers documents, keys, and license plates of the car to the new owner.

Further, all rights to the vehicle belong to the buyer, who is obliged to draw up an insurance contract within 10 days. When applying for an MTPL policy, the new owner needs a diagnostic card. If its validity period has expired, the car owner will have to undergo a vehicle inspection. After this, you need to register the car with the traffic police MREO and you can consider that the transaction is completed.

What fields must be filled in the PTS

Entries in the PTS are made either personally or by a traffic police officer. If the document is filled out by an employee of the State Traffic Inspectorate, the presence of both parties to the transaction is considered mandatory, since at the end of the procedure both the seller and the buyer are required to sign.



1. The first line contains the last name, first name and patronymic of the buyer.
2. The “Address” column indicates the place of registration of the new car owner.
3. In the next column, enter the date of transfer of the car in accordance with the date stamped on the car purchase document.
4. In the line “Documents for the right of ownership” information about the re-registration of ownership is entered, that is, data from the purchase and sale agreement indicating the date of signing.
5. The document must be completed by the seller's signature and the buyer's signature.

Looking for an answer? It's easier to ask a lawyer!

The first thing that needs to be mentioned is that the information recorded about the owner of the vehicle in the registration certificate is duplicated in the vehicle registration certificate.

Lawyer and lawyer for automobile law. Specializes in administrative and civil law, insurance.

The owner of the vehicle needs to change the registration documents before problems with traffic cops appear on the roads. After all, the latter will suspect that the unit is not yours, or that you have stolen it and are trying to transport it to another place.

Many car owners are interested in the question of how to cancel an entry in the PTS and correctly carry out the procedure in accordance with the legal norms of the current legislation. The process has some nuances that you need to know before taking legal actions.

Cancellation of a PTS due to the lack of an appropriate certificate involves contacting the authorities to restore it. Therefore, when canceling a PTS, the main thing is not to panic and act wisely. Eliminate all violations or contact official services to eliminate them. And then everything will be decided in your favor.

A transaction involving a vehicle is a serious matter, and it is often complicated by various unforeseen situations that raise a lot of questions.

If the matter took place in a car dealership or if a legal entity or entrepreneur participated in the agreement, then the cancellation of the transaction mark must be accompanied by an imprint of their seal (if one is used in their activities).
