What is AutoCode?
Autocode is a website developed by the Moscow government, where you can check a car by its VIN, State number, body number or car certificate number. This portal collects information about all cars registered in Moscow.
Autocode is not the only service in our country that collects information about vehicles. There are many other developing sources, and many of them are state-owned, such as: register of pledges, traffic police, FSSP, RSA and others.
In Russia, such services have appeared recently and are unique in their way, while in other countries for many years there has been a single Carfax database that stores the history of the car.
Accordingly, there are practically no cases of fraud in car transactions in these countries.
The portal is actively developing and at the same time the car database is expanding. Information about the history of transport is supplied to the site mainly by banks, insurance companies and car manufacturers.
Manufacturers inform the portal about the equipment of the machine and its characteristics. Information from banks shows the presence of encumbrances on the car, as well as being pledged, unfulfilled loan obligations on this vehicle, and more. And insurance companies help collect information about accidents, accidents, and car damage not only with standard insurance, but also with CASCO insurance.

. Implemented by the Moscow city government, at the initiative of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, with the intention of simplifying interactivity between car owners and the State Road Safety Inspectorate.

Be careful!
Despite the fact that the Autocode website is aimed at increasing the percentage of security when carrying out transactions with cars, it still cannot give a 100% guarantee. It is especially necessary to be on guard in such moments as:
- Existing damage can be described briefly, not in full: pay attention to whether repairs were made immediately before sale, contact professionals to check the external and internal characteristics - coating, airbags, instruments, and so on;
- Traffic accident data does not cover all the details.
Checking fines
Above, we briefly touched on the topic of fines and said that the Autocode website allows you to check their availability and pay online, from your phone or computer. Let's look at this in more detail.

But at the same time, one must not lose vigilance, since the site cannot provide for all aspects of transactions.
Buying a used vehicle in most cases is a compromise between the desired car and the financial capabilities to purchase it. But situations are not uncommon when scammers take advantage of the excessive gullibility of potential buyers. Stolen cars with altered license plates, those that have been in serious traffic accidents, and those that are under collateral or on credit may go on sale.

For example, the official website "Autocode" allows you to quick check according to numerous legal framework and get a report in real time. But this service is paid.

How to identify a car by VIN (VIN) and license plate number
The Autocode portal is designed to conduct an independent check of a vehicle before making a transaction. Currently, a vehicle purchase and sale agreement is concluded in a simple written form between the former owner (to whom the car is registered with the traffic police) and the future owner. To complete the transaction, it is not necessary to deregister the vehicle, and the future owner will even be able to retain state license plates (if they fully comply with the requirements of the established GOST). 
There is no need to register the agreement at a notary office or the traffic police. And this becomes the reason for numerous forgeries. A vehicle that:
- is on the federal wanted list (for example, due to its theft);
- pledged to a credit institution;
- limited in the ability to carry out registration actions by judicial authorities;
- burdened with various claims, collateral documents;
- does not correspond to the body part numbers specified in the original documents.
In addition, the car may be after a serious accident. All this information can be obtained using the report. Checking a car using Autocode by number is quite simple. This procedure requires absolutely no additional information:
- find out the state license plate of the vehicle you are interested in (you can see it on the front or rear bumper - this is an alphanumeric combination in the format X111ХХ111);
- go to the official portal;
- Enter the state license plate number in the special verification form;
- click the check button;
- wait for the report to be generated and pay for it;
- receive a fully completed document in real time.
In the same way, you can use “Autocode” to identify a car using its VIN code, which is entered in the same way as state license plates. 
Standard report content
The contents of the vehicle report will contain a standard set of data that allows a detailed study of the entire operating history. The document always opens with the year of manufacture of the vehicle. Then the name of the brand and model is indicated. Please note that if the numbers of the engine and body parts are altered, these data may not coincide with those provided by the potential seller.
The following indicates the number of former owners and the equipment declared by the manufacturer. The indicated mileage cannot be considered reliable information, since this is a parameter selected by insurance companies and is often recorded from the words of the owners when taking out a compulsory motor liability insurance policy.
- whether the car is collateral or disputed property;
- whether he is on the federal wanted list or reported for theft;
- are there any restrictions on the part of judicial and administrative authorities for carrying out any registration actions;
- operation as a taxi and participation in an accident;
- operation outside the Russian Federation and history of customs clearance;
- body repair work within the framework of warranty cases or under an insurance policy (MTPL and CASCO).
If data on road accidents is available, photographic photographs are attached to the report. They must illustrate all body damage. 
For a potential owner, it will be useful information about the amount in which, after purchasing a car, he will have to pay annually the transport tax and insurance premium under the MTPL policy.
All data is provided by official authorities. These are the traffic police, the judicial system, administrative resources, a database of collateral, notary databases, data provided to all operating insurance companies.
