How to check the prohibition of registration actions in relation to vehicles?

In accordance with the changes that have been in force for several years, buyers of used cars independently register their new vehicle with the traffic police. Automatically when setting, they remove it from the previous account. The administrative regulation, which entered into force in 2013, exempted sellers of used cars from this procedure. Buyers must independently verify whether there is a prohibition of registration actions in relation to vehicles. And it is better to do this immediately before concluding a contract of sale. Otherwise, you can buy a "problem" car.

Reasons for limiting the use of the vehicle

As practice shows, recently, an increasing number of buyers of used cars cannot register it with the traffic police. Most often, the prohibition of registration actions in respect of vehicles is imposed by the bailiff service for the debts of its owner. To eliminate it, the debtor must fulfill his debt obligations, or the new owner will have to do it. After paying off the debt, contact the road inspection with a payment confirming the absence of a reason for which a ban on registration actions was imposed on vehicles. Or you can wait for the bailiff to send the confirmation papers himself, but this will take time.

Also, a similar measure is applied in the case of:

• Accounts payable.
• Disputes between spouses when a car is a common property.
• A large number of unpaid fines.
