If the vehicle has dangerous defects or is not properly equipped, the Police can order the retention of the registration certificate. In order to retrieve the vehicle registration card, you must first present yourself at the Vehicle Registry (RAR) for verification.
In order to recover their driver’s license, drivers are required to follow several steps.
It must also report to the RAR for a thorough technical check.
How do you recover the car ticket seized by the Police?
„The registration or registration certificate and plates with the registration or registration number, (…) shall be returned to the owner or user of the vehicle by the traffic police, upon presentation by him of the proof of the termination of the reason for which the document was detained, under the conditions provided in regulations”, it is provided in Art. 112, point 4 of law 195/2002.
Therefore, the drivers whose ticket was withheld must prove that they have remedied the technical deficiency. Or they obtained the documents to be able to circulate legally.
Once the problem has been solved or the documents have been drawn up, the following documents must be presented to the Traffic Police headquarters:
- identity card;
- replacement proof of the registration certificate;
- the documents by which you demonstrate the remedy of the problem (RAR notice);
- the receipt proving that you have paid the penalty received.
After these documents are presented, the registration certificate and plates with registration numbers (if applicable) will be returned.
In order to prove that the problem has been fixed, drivers are obliged to present themselves at the RAR with the car and a series of documents.
Documents required for checking the car at RAR
If the car ticket has been withheld for expired ITP or serious technical deficiencies, it can only be recovered after the vehicle is subject to a RAR check.
Which means that the owner must present himself with the vehicle at the Vehicle Registry and with a series of documents.
The necessary documents are:
- Vehicle Identity Card;
- proof of retention of the original registration certificate (or a notarized declaration in case it was lost);
- the report with the findings made during the technical traffic control (only if the CI was detained following the checks carried out by a joint RAR-Traffic Police crew);
- the RAR activity application (it will be completed holographically by the applicant on his own responsibility and will be signed in the presence of the RAR employee who performs the service);
- the identity document of the person requesting the activity.
Then, if he obtains the right to drive, the driver must present the proof issued by the RAR at the police station that ordered the retention of the driver’s license.
Where do you pick up the impounded vehicle ticket?
If the car has passed the Vehicle Registry check, the driver will receive a proof of completion of the check. But he won’t get the coupon either.
„If the Registration Certificate (CI) was retained only for the lack of ITP, the technical check is carried out at the RAR representative office as provided in RNTR 1. If the CI was retained for technical defects, the RAR representative office is checked only their remedy, except in the situation where other non-conformities can be ascertained through direct observation“, it is specified in a post published on the Facebook page of the Romanian Car Registry.
If it is found that the deficiencies no longer exist, the RAR representative will state this on the original of the replacement proof of registration certificate. Also, if the vehicle is declared admitted to the ITP, a proof of this verification will be issued.
And with one of these proofs, or with both if necessary, the owner must present himself, then to the Police.
„Our colleagues do not have the right to stop vehicles in traffic nor to withhold a registration certificate. During a control carried out by a mixed RAR-Traffic Police crew, these decisions can only be made by the MAI representative. The specialists of the Romanian Car Registry only check the vehicle with the help of the equipment available in the CTT auto laboratory and draw up a report with the findings, which they hand to the traffic policeman” RAR representatives also state.
Therefore, the vehicle registration is recovered from the Police station that ordered its detention.
