They issued a traffic police fine, but it is not in the database

Any information systems fail. There are enough examples of this. When Odnoklassniki, VKontakte or Facebook hung, 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 the official websites of public services. Domestic drivers are already accustomed to various Internet services, for example, to the traffic police website, where you can check 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 a fine is issued by the traffic police, but it is not in the database? Do I need to pay for it right away or wait until it appears in the register?

Even certain myths are common among drivers:

• if you make a payment by the order number, then the money will go to no one knows where;
• you can not pay money at all and you will not get anything for it.

In fact, an official explanation has appeared on the portal of the State traffic inspectorate so that drivers understand how to act in such a situation.

Why traffic police fines do not appear in the database?

The reason for this is the most banal. These can be either system failures, or operator errors, or information has not yet been received from the regional database to the federal one. Moreover, the fine appears on the official resources of the traffic police only after the information arrives from the federal database of the traffic police to the Federal Treasury. That is, as you can see, the system is quite complex and confusing.

You can also find fines on the State Services portal, which draws information from the Federal Treasury. And if at some stage there is a hitch, then information about an administrative violation will not appear on it. Well, among other things, now there are many different mobile applications for finding 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 interact promptly with the central one. It is worth saying that this situation is not very beneficial for motorists, since according to existing laws they can get a 50% discount if they pay a fine in the first 20 days after it is issued. We have already considered this issue on our autoportal Vodi.su.

What to do?

In principle, there is nothing complicated here. You have several options:

• make a 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 the local traffic police department and clarify the situation.

In any case, an infringement order on hand is sufficient to effect payment. This document has a unique number, and it will need to be entered on the receipt that you will fill out at the bank. Be sure to save the receipt and call the traffic police in a few days to clarify whether the money has arrived in their current account.

If this is not done, then serious consequences await you. What will happen for late payment of fines - an article on this topic is available on our website Vodi.su. The easiest thing you will have to face is the payment of debt in double size. Moreover, the fact that the fine did not appear in the database does not mean anything to representatives of the executive services, because the receipt for payment is enough for you.

Well, we can also say that even in this case, you can use various Internet services to pay by the order number: WebMoney, Yandex.Money, QIWI. If you do not want to stand in line at the checkout for a long time, pay through self-service terminals. The commission may be higher than in a bank, but you will receive a 50% discount on the amount of the penalty for an administrative violation.
