This article is about different approaches to solving the following problem:
Given:
Car or photo of a car.
Not given:
Connections in the traffic police/money.
Find:
Maximum information about the car and its owner.
1. We are looking for the name and phone number of the owner
Using the @Antiparkon bot, you can find out the name and phone number of the owner by the license plate number of his car. It was created so that drivers could warn each other about troubles that happen to their cars (sudden evacuations, threats of damage).
Each person can add their car number and their contacts to the database to have a chance to be warned in case of danger. The owners of the bot claim that all names and phone numbers came to them of the free will of the owners.
But that's not true. Many people found themselves in the @Antiparkon database completely unexpectedly for themselves. Most likely, some contacts were taken from outdated traffic police databases from the “gorbushka” and stolen databases of insurance companies. Often the bot will provide the correct name and phone number, but for some license plates the information may be incorrect.
3. We look at reviews about the car on the Internet.
If the car you are interested in somehow stands out in appearance or actively violates the rules, then perhaps someone has already discussed it on the Internet and was looking for the owner using Find Face.
4. We punch the VIN using the open traffic police database
The VIN can be found using the database of judicial acts or an external inspection of the car (second picture). Using it you can find out the history of registrations with the traffic police, whether the car was involved in an accident, whether it is wanted.
5. Check if the car is pawned
And on this site you can find out if the car is mortgaged using the VIN. Or vice versa, by first and last name, see if the person has mortgaged property.

6. Determine who owns the car with the “red number”
If the car number is painted red, then it belongs to the embassy or consulate. The car in the picture belongs to the Ecuadorian Ambassador. And this can be seen not only by the flag (such cars often drive without it).
The code 074 tells us about the country. 004 decorates the numbers of the US Embassy, 015 - Turkey, 069 - Finland, 146 - Ukraine, 150 - Belarus. Here full list.
The letters CD mean that the vehicle is assigned directly to the ambassador, SS to the consul, D to the diplomat's car, M to the trade and economic representative, T to the technical specialist, K to the press attaché and his subordinates. Knowing a person’s position at the embassy, you can find his full name and pages on social networks.
7. Find out the geographical origin of the car
Every car in the world must have a sticker on the back with the country code in which it is registered (often located on the license plate). These codes do not coincide with other standards (Alpha2, Alpha3, ISO) and sometimes faintly hint at the name of the country. For example, FL is assigned to Lichetstein and CYM to Wales.
By the number of a Russian car you can determine which region/region/republic the car came from. Complete list of codes. The maximum number of Russian numbers with one region code is 1 million 726 thousand 272. Therefore, large regions have 2-3 codes, and Moscow has as many as seven.
8. We avoid conflicts with drivers of cars with “thieves” license plates
To ensure that high-ranking officials rushing on important matters are not detained in vain by traffic police officers, they are issued license plates of special series. Significant employees of the State Duma, the Government of the Russian Federation, the Presidential Administration, the Legislative Assembly, the FSB and the FSO are usually given AMP series numbers. The lower the number, the higher the person’s position. For example, AM005P99 was assigned to Alexey Kudrin several years ago.
On FSO cars there are often series numbers EKX (“I drive as I want”). AAA - presidential administration, OKO - prosecutor's office, ERE ("United Russia Is Coming") - State Duma, AMO - Moscow City Hall, MMM - police, PMP - Ministry of Justice and the Federal Penitentiary Service, MOO - presidential administration.
In total, there are several dozen special series of numbers in Russia and they differ in different regions. The presence of a “thieves’ license plate on a car does not provide a 100% guarantee that an official is driving it; they can be purchased or received as a gift by private individuals.
Other articles on the topic.
Probably nowhere else does such a number of scandals and disappointments occur as in the field of used car sales. Statistics have shown that a third of all Russians who bought a car that has already been used find serious faults within the first three weeks. This means you will need to invest money again. And then again, and again...
This statistic is actually quite cold-blooded, because it means that if you decide to buy a car second-hand, there is a 30% chance that defects will be discovered in it after just a few weeks. And no matter how friendly the seller is, no matter how many guarantees and promises he gives, you should understand that you, the buyer, are giving real money and doing this in exchange for “I promise that you will be satisfied” is somehow not reasonable.
Well, let's try to figure out what can be done and how to learn how to check the car in advance, without allowing yourself to sell yourself a “pig in a poke.”
The main thing is to check the car according to the state. number, this procedure will allow you to find out the most important and necessary thing - whether the car is wanted. It is also important to check for fines, the presence of collateral and much more. Let's take a closer look at what's what.
Checking a car before purchasing
Don't want to be deceived? Then start checking the car while you are still searching. It is surprising that such a check is a very simple procedure, but few people still carry it out (apparently, simply out of ignorance). The procedure can be roughly divided into three simple steps:
1) find an advertisement with an interesting car - register it with the state. number;
2) check the car;
3) observe the detailed history of the car.
This procedure does not guarantee that the seller is honest, but it allows you to weed out deception at an early stage. After all, if the information in the advertisement fundamentally contradicts the history of the car, which was determined by checking the car using the VIN code (the “VIN code” is the full number of the vehicle), then the seller is trying to deceive.
Let's talk a little more about the VIN code. This abbreviation is an abbreviation for "Vehicle Identification Number". In other words, this is the vehicle identification number. The code consists of 17 characters. It contains so much information that you can determine almost everything, from the manufacturer and characteristics of the car, to fines, repairs, etc. We will tell you more about where to find the VIN number below. However, even checking the car according to the state. number can give interesting results.
Often (and let’s face it, almost always) the seller hides the real mileage. But it’s one thing when, instead of the declared 120 thousand, the car drove 150 thousand, and quite another if in front of you there was a car with many owners, which was actively used in taxis (everyone is well aware that taxis literally destroy cars) and which has already been in a dozen accidents .
That is why the meeting should begin with a document check. If the car is checked according to the state. number has passed successfully and you still have nothing to complain about, then it’s time to get it through the VIN code.
And now, it would seem, everything is fine: Mr. the number showed that everything was clean, the VIN code was the same, visually there were no complaints about the car, and during a short test drive nothing knocked, did not leak, did not crumble... Can I buy it? No, it's still early. After checking everything you need, you need to visit the service station together with the sellers.
Something to remember! Recently, cases have become more frequent when a friendly seller personally offers to go to a service station. Moreover, he guarantees to do this at his own expense! An enthusiastic buyer happily arrives at the station, where delighted mechanics tell him that they have never seen a better car in their career. To celebrate, the buyer gives his money, without even going into the details of documents, state numbers and VIN code. Advice: never visit the service station that the seller has chosen, because most likely his friends, brothers, brother-in-law, and so on work there. Choose a car service yourself and insist on the most comprehensive diagnostics. Even if minor faults are found, this will benefit you, because you will be able to bargain near the car.
How to find the VIN code?
There is a car in front of you. In order for the vehicle VIN check to be successful, you will need to accurately determine its location. Please note that not all cars have a VIN code (aka body number) in the same place.
To begin with, do not rush to open the hood, because, first of all, you should look for the VIN code in the registration certificate.
In addition to documents, the vehicle identification number can be found on special nameplates that are firmly fixed to the chassis. On some cars, the number can be found in the provided gap near the windshield, under the hood, on the driver's door pillar, and even under the passenger seat floor trim.
Almost all modern car manufacturers place the number on the upper left side of the instrument panel, which can be easily seen through the windshield.
Manufacturers of American cars often place the VIN in other places, such as the junction of the windshield and the hood. Codes are found in a car not only in a single copy, they are very often duplicated, for example, located on stickers near the driver's doors. This is done in order to protect the car as reliably as possible from robbery and theft.
However, the most popular place where you can find the VIN code is the engine area and the partition between the engine and the car interior.
Finding the VIN code in several places is especially necessary, because this way, when buying a car, you can protect yourself. That is why, in advance of the meeting, we advise you to study the online edition of the machine’s operating manual and find out all the possible places where the VIN is located. Forging and falsifying documents or data in them is a fairly simple undertaking, but fabricating nameplates and plates with a VIN code is not an easy task. If you find that the car has at least a couple of codes that do not match, this can only mean one thing - the car is most likely stolen and the owner (possibly the previous one) tried to get the numbers from another car.
The VIN looks something like this:
Car manufacturers are very well aware of all the tricks of scammers, thieves and swindlers. That is why some of the VIN codes are located in a convenient place, and some, on the contrary, are in very inconvenient places, in which it is extremely problematic to break or unfasten the nameplate. Scammers, most often, change only “convenient” codes, believing that the buyer will not check all of them.
Find out VIN code
Despite the fact that all these procedures are relatively simple, we would like to simplify our reader’s life even more and provide the opportunity to check a car by VIN code without even getting up from behind the screen of a smartphone or computer. Yes, you don’t have to personally look for the body identification number; checking the car by VIN code is possible even if you only have a state number. One number allows you to find the second.
State check number does not provide for receiving such serious information as can be provided during verification through the VIN. However, what to do if, in addition to the state. number you don't have any more information?
Let's figure out how state numbers fundamentally differ from VIN numbers. First of all, this is the place of receipt: if the VIN is assigned to the car at the factory and cannot be changed in any way, then the state. number is a dynamic concept. With each deregistration and registration, license plates may change. Moreover, the license plate also depends on the region in which the car was registered and on the country from which it was brought (for cars not cleared through customs). However, each number that employees assign is in one way or another tied to the car body number.
By contacting the traffic police you can always find out the VIN by the car number. By the way, it is the traffic police officers who are able to provide you with the most complete information regarding the “past life” of your car. The information allows you to determine information about all owners of the car, the participation of the car in an accident, whether the car is in collateral, as well as such important data as whether the car is wanted due to theft.
What to do with the VIN code?
Every citizen who wants to carry out a check and find out the VIN by number can send an official request to the traffic police and receive all the necessary data. Employees are only willing to provide data based on compelling reasons. Buying a car and wanting to purchase it based on the seller’s advertisements is a very good reason. However, if, for some reason, employees refuse to provide information, there are other ways.
You can check your car absolutely free on the website of the RSA and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. RSA is a universal database that includes all cars moving around the country. The service allows you to find out the full maximum about the car and its owner.
No one is immune from minor offenses: running a red light, speeding, parking in the wrong place. Are you sure you don't have any outstanding fines? Now you don’t need to wait until the resolution arrives in the mail (if it arrives at all) - fines are checked online. Thanks to our service, you will always be aware of the situation, will not allow penalties and new fines to be charged for non-payment of existing ones, and will be able to safely cross the border of the Russian Federation.
Features of checking fines on the traffic police website
The official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate acquired an online system for checking fines relatively recently, but immediately gained popularity among motorists. This check has a number of advantages:- no registration required in the system;
- fines are checked using the car number and registration certificate number;
- The search result provides a complete list of fines for the entire “life” history of the car.
- you need to know the registration certificate number, so, for example, it will not be possible to check someone else’s car upon purchase;
- the search results will only provide general information, that is, the names of specific drivers who committed the violation will not be indicated.
What other databases provide information on the presence of fines?
In addition to the traffic police, there are several other separate services authorized to fine drivers, but they do not exchange information with the traffic police: 1. AMPP - a database of offenses related to unpaid paid parking. 2. MADI (not to be confused with the university of the same name) - fines for parking in unauthorized places and green areas. Notification of violations from AMPP and MADI is sent by registered mail. Checking fines in these databases can be done through government services. 3. GIS GMP is an information system for registering payments on a state and municipal scale. This service is the link between the payer of the fine and the service that issued it. Thanks to this electronic system, it is possible to check whether citizens have paid various types of payments, including traffic fines.Checking fines by car number with us

For payment from a card, the search is carried out using the state registration number of the car; in the case of payment from an electronic wallet, the indicator is the number of the resolution.6. How long after payment is the fine paid?
After the payment is actually credited, the electronic GIS system pays off the fine, as a rule, within 1-3 days, the same amount is given for crediting the payment in the traffic police database. If after 5-6 days your debt is still in the database, you need to contact the bank or service through which the payment was made.7. I paid the fine, but it still hangs unpaid at the traffic police office.
The traffic police database is updated only after checking the fact of payment in the GIS system. All this can take up to 6 days, if after this period the debt still remains unpaid, you must contact the payment system through which the payment was made.Buying a long-awaited car can be overshadowed by a bunch of fines that were previously issued to the previous owner, but have now become your headache. To prevent this from happening and you don’t have to pay for other people’s violations or prove your innocence, you need to use your VIN code. A similar procedure will also be useful for ordinary car owners, who may not even suspect that fines are being issued in their name based on the system for automatically recording violations.
Main verification methods
Checking traffic police fines by VIN number has been significantly simplified and can now be done online. You no longer need to waste time standing in queues and obtaining documentary evidence. All you need to do is use one of the government services that are available to any Internet user. It is better to choose government services for checking, since they are directly, regularly updated and provide the most reliable information, and even checking traffic police fines by car VIN is completely free.
Traffic police website
You can find out traffic police fines by VIN code on the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate, which can be easily found on the Internet at gibdd.ru. From the main page, go to the services section and select the category that interests us. On the page that opens there will be two fields, in one of which you will need to enter the state registration number of the car, and the second field is intended to indicate the registration certificate number.
If there are no fines for this car, a window will appear with the relevant information about the absence of unpaid fines. This service allows you to find out fines by VIN code, or rather, by registration number, for a specific car. And it doesn’t matter at all who was driving at the time of the violation.
If the previous option does not suit you in some way, then two sites can come to the rescue: fines-gibdd.ru and shtrafy-gibdd.ru. They are very similar to each other, so we have combined a review of the work of these sites.
For information about and driver's license details. The information you enter is confidential, so it cannot be passed on to third parties. To check a car on the official website of the traffic police, which we reviewed earlier, you do not need to provide information from your driver’s license. On these two services, entering such information is mandatory, which is necessary to improve the quality of the check.
This method is suitable only for those drivers who want to familiarize themselves with the violations committed by them personally. If the car was used by other persons, then it will not be possible to check for fines issued in their names. Unless you know their driver's license details.
Government services website
The most reliable way to check fines by car VIN code is the website gosuslugi.ru. But there is a small catch with the need to undergo mandatory registration. But if you are not lazy and create an account on this site, all further checks will happen very quickly. The registration process may be difficult for some users, although there is nothing special about the registration form.
After successful registration, you will have a personal account. In this account you need to find the electronic services section and select the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation from the list that opens. When you click on this button, a new list with subsections will appear. We are interested . The site has the ability to add services to favorites, which makes it easier to select them when performing future checks. All you have to do is click on receive the service, after which a form will open on the screen to fill out. It consists of two lines in which you must enter the data of the state license plate of the car and the driver’s license number. The service allows you to fill out only one column, but for the reliability and reliability of the search, it is better to fill out two fields at once.
Although such a check of a car for fines by VIN code is one of the most reliable, it is still not without some peculiarities. This site may display fines that were issued for a previous vehicle. Such information will be displayed even when you enter the license plate number of a new car.
But here you can immediately pay any existing fines. Payment is accepted in several ways, including electronic money in wallets of common payment systems. The advantage of this payment method is the quick update of the database and cancellation of the paid fine.
Have you bought a car and not checked its fines? What to do?
Unfortunately, not all potential used car buyers are so forward-thinking and thoughtful. Many have not yet learned all the delights that online checking of fines by VIN number has. Therefore, having become the owner of a used car, you have to deal with old fines that were issued to the previous owner. This situation is extremely unpleasant, but, as you know, negative experience is also useful.
Old fines may be followed by new sanctions, increased penalties, and there may even be a risk of ending up in jail for 15 days. In order not to aggravate the situation, you must act as follows:
- We head to the nearest traffic police department and seek an audience with the head.
- We describe the current situation in detail and support our story with all the documents that relate to the purchased car.
- We express our request or even demand to shift it.
- If the actions described above do not lead to the desired result, then we turn to the court, having secured the support of a lawyer in advance.
- We are filing a counterclaim, which will indicate the requirement to change the person in order to be held responsible for the existing fines.
- Make a demand for complete legal cleaning of the car.
Of course, it would have been much easier to get the car checked before purchasing. But this is not a reason to give up and pay for another person’s violations. You need to defend your rights, even if this process seems difficult and long to you. It is clear that if the price of the issue is within 1 thousand rubles, then going to court will be pointless and inappropriate. In this case, the size of the fine can be considered a kind of payment for one’s inattention and frivolity.
Checking fines by VIN has never been so easy. You should definitely resort to such a procedure before you decide to buy a car.
Good afternoon. In this article, I will show you a simple and free way to find out the VIN code of a car by state number, if the car has undergone an official technical inspection at least once since 2014.
What is a VIN code?
VIN code ( Vehicle identification number ) is a unique seventeen-character vehicle identification number that contains information about the year of manufacture, country of production, specific manufacturing plant, and configuration. This information is encoded in the first seven digits. The remaining 10 (in most cases) are the serial number of the car. Using the manufacturer's internal databases (most companies have them open), you can find out the color and additional equipment.
In most cases, the VIN code is applied in several places and duplicated on a panel under glass.
It looks like this:
Why is it sometimes necessary to find out the VIN code by number?
In the 21st century, the Internet allows you to instantly obtain information about a car. For example, on the traffic police website you can use the VIN code to find out the registration history of a car (i.e. who owned a particular car and for how long), check the car for participation in an accident (from January 1, 2015), and most importantly, check the car for a registration ban and search. Agree - it’s unpleasant to buy a car and find out that it is permanently registered. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for a car for yourself or you’re just ordinary
How to find out the VIN code of a car by state number (option 1)?
For simplicity, let's look at an example, there is this declaration:
The number is not visible, so I opened a larger photo:
We go to the website for checking technical inspection using the EAISTO database ( https://kbm-osago.ru/proverka-tehosmotra.html) and enter the numbers into the verification form:
We press the check technical inspection button, and we get the result (which will indicate the VIN code).
How can I find out the VIN code and generally all the data about the car, but for a fee?
Unfortunately, due to heavy workload, the service given above does not always work, and even after using it you will still have to go to the traffic police website and look at liens, restrictions and accidents (and only since 2015), but there is an option to use a paid one a service that will provide all the data in one report – autocode Very convenient and understandable, enter the number and get a full report on the car. Road accidents, registration history, customs, restrictions.
We found out all the VIN codes by number... What to do with it next?
Let's go to vehicle verification page on the traffic police website and by specifying the VIN code, we get the result:
This car has a ban on registration actions, due to the debt on the work sheet, click on the link with the number of the enforcement proceedings and go to the bailiffs website, where we see a debt of 13 thousand rubles:
In principle, you can buy this car and it will be registered, provided that you pay the owner’s debt and take a certificate about it... Or if the owner pays the debt with you and gives you a document to lift the restrictions.
That's all for me today. I hope that the question of how to find out the VIN code of a car by state number is fully covered in the article. If you have any questions, or if you know an easier method, write a comment.
