Imagine the situation: you bought a car on the secondary market, but it turned out that the owner either disappeared according to the documents or could not come to the service center. The car is yours, but it is foreign in the — register. Is it possible to remove it from the register without the participation of this person? The question is not just rhetorical, but very practical. And before starting any actions, checking the car number will help to avoid many troubles: forged documents, debts, search. This step often becomes decisive before contacting the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
General conditions for deregistration of the vehicle
In a standard situation, the vehicle is removed from the register personally by the owner or by order. But Ukrainian legislation provides for several exceptions that allow you to perform this procedure without the physical presence of the owner.
- Death of the owner (due to inheritance)
- Sale under a sales contract without registration
- Car seizure by court decision
- Theft or loss of documents
Basic options without the participation of the owner
Let's consider the key scenarios that allow you to issue a vehicle withdrawal without the direct participation of the person specified in the registration certificate.
1. By order (notarized)
The presence of a power of attorney allows you to fully perform the deregistration action. This is the — most reliable and fastest way if it is possible to issue it in advance.
2. Through the court
If the owner refuses or has disappeared —, you can file a lawsuit. In case of a positive decision, the car will be re-registered or deregistered on its basis.
3. Inheritance

When it is impossible to deregister a car without an owner
