In what year was region 777 released? Is it possible to officially get a nice number at the traffic police?

The head of the propaganda department of the Moscow State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, Artem Ivanov, shared with the M24 portal information that the department will purchase 120 thousand sets of registration plates with the region code 777. The State Traffic Inspectorate departments involved in car registration will receive these plates in December. About 30 million rubles will be spent on the purchase of 120 thousand sets of license plates (the cost of each pair is about 250 rubles).

They expect that the license plates will last for six months. But this is if you do not take into account the innovations of the improved technical regulations of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, which will come into force on October 15 and will allow you to register a car in any region, regardless of the place of residence of the car owner. According to Head of the dispatch center of the Avtolocator company Alexander Leskiv, this will be one of the main advantages of the new technical regulations. “Previously, car owners were required to arrive at their place of registration and register the car within 5 days from the date of purchasing the car,” the expert recalls. “The possibility of registration in the region of residence eliminates possible inequality on the roads, as happens, for example, in Moscow in relation to cars registered in other regions, and in St. Petersburg in relation to cars with metropolitan license plates.”

General Director of AutoSpetsCenter Khimki Evgeniy Korolev explains: “After the new regulations come into force, you will be able to register your vehicle at any department of the State Traffic Inspectorate in any region of the country. For example, if a person registered and living in the Urals came to Moscow and bought a car here, he can immediately register it in the capital. In this case, the city code on the license plates will be Moscow (assigned at the place of registration of the vehicle), but in the database the car will be listed at the real place of residence of the owner.”

According to Evgeny Korolev, after this regulation comes into force - approximately by January 2014 - State Traffic Inspectorate units will be created in each region to register vehicles from other constituent entities of the Russian Federation and transmit data to common databases. “Currently there are 1,382 registration units in our country, 102 of them are not equipped with all the necessary equipment for such work,” the general director of the dealer company told Za Rulem.RF.

Expert in the field of auto insurance, Arkan Group of Companies Victor Elenevsky I am confident that registering cars under the new regulations will make life much easier for car owners and will reduce the buyer’s chance of “running into” a car with a criminal record. “Cars purchased second-hand will be sold with specific license plates, and not with transit ones, as is currently practiced,” the expert argues. In his opinion, the popular today “business” of stealing license plates will also cease to make sense - after all, a license plate in return for the stolen one can be purchased for a small amount at the place of actual residence.

As we have reported more than once, the appearance of a new region code with three sevens caused an unprecedented stir among a number of car owners - the traffic police even had to report who got the first “beautiful numbers”. But even now, according to our colleagues from GZR, a number with three “Annas” can be purchased for 140,000-400,000 rubles, and with the most beautiful combinations of numbers and letters - for a million. Numbers with six sevens are especially in demand among motorists - *777**777. Drivers are willing to pay up to 2.5 million rubles for them.

According to new standards adopted in July 2013, in the future Moscow cars may receive region codes 797 and 799, and those registered in the Moscow region - 790 and 750.

The attention of Moscow motorists turned out to be focused on the new numbers with the region code 777, which the capital began issuing last week. An ordinary event aroused great interest among most drivers after publications in a government publication, which stated that the first number in the series “a001aa777” was received by an ordinary Muscovite driving an inexpensive car. The combination of three letters “a” in the number, which motorists themselves call “anna”, has a purely aesthetic function, but does not give any privileges on the roads.

“It (the number) went to a completely ordinary woman, who put it on one of the most popular, but inexpensive car models,” the publication said, but the journalists did not name the exact model.

Later, photographs of a Mercedes GL 500 4Matic car with the number “a001aa777” began to appear on thematic websites on the Internet. The cost of such a new car starts from 5.2 million rubles.

First photo This SUV was made in the area of ​​Volgogradsky Prospekt, along which the car moves in the direction of the region. The second picture of the car was taken in the VIP parking lot of the air show, which took place near the city of Zhukovsky (Volgogradka goes exactly in the direction of this city). Internet users do not rule out that the photograph was processed with Photoshop, however, in the “blue buckets” of Gazeta.Ru they refuted these assumptions, confirming the authenticity of the photographs.

According to Gazeta.Ru’s source in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, information about the owners of the new “beautiful” license plates was provided to the publication by the capital’s traffic police. However, the traffic cops named a completely different model, not a premium Mercedes.

At the same time, the author of the material requested information from the traffic police about other “beautiful” combinations of the new series - “a100aa”, “a111aa”, etc. State traffic inspectorate employees stated that all these numbers were received by ordinary owners of ordinary cars. “They named cars such as Nissan Teana, Ford Focus, Nissan Almera, Mitsubishi Outlander,” says the interlocutor.

In addition, the publication’s journalist managed to find the owner of the number “a001aa777”, but the woman flatly refused to make contact.

Photos of other cars with new series numbers are already appearing online. The second state sign in the “a002aa777” series was received by the car owner of another premium German-made SUV - the Volkswagen Touareg. The number “a212aa777” appeared on the Porsche Cayenn, and “a005aa777” on the faster BMW 3 Series.

The Moscow State Traffic Safety Inspectorate told Gazeta.Ru that the distribution of license plates is carried out automatically and the influence of the human factor is excluded.

“A person comes to the department, gets into an electronic queue and a computer program determines which number he will get,” said the interlocutor at the department. “Automation is needed in order to eliminate the human factor.” The traffic police do not rule out that the owner of the first number in the 777 series could have several cars and simply received a number for one, and then registered it for another. However, the traffic police promised to clarify the exact information about how this number was issued in the afternoon.

The coordinator of the “blue bucket” society, Peter, told Gazeta.Ru that, despite the advent of automation, you can still get a beautiful number according to the old scheme - by agreeing with the inspector of the registration department. “The computer may be working for them, but the traffic cops have somehow learned to bypass these programs,” Shkumatov is sure.

According to the activist, a stir in Moscow is expected around a combination of number combinations in which two groups of sevens will appear - 777 in the number and 777 in the area code. The cost of such a room will reach 15 million rubles, says Shkumatov.

Already appeared on the Internet announcement about the sale of the number “a777aa777” for 900 thousand rubles. Just a day later, a message appeared stating that the state sign had already been sold.

At the same time, this number will not provide any practical use or any privileges on the roads, except for easy memorization and attention from other motorists, warns the coordinator.

The appearance of the new series is due to the fact that Moscow simply ran out of license plates with two-digit and also three-digit region codes starting with the number 1. In this regard, Moscow became the first city where traffic police departments issue registration plates with three-digit region codes with a seven in front. The capital's traffic cops have already received a batch of 500 thousand such numbers.

After the 777 series, the issuance of 799 and 797 will begin. As the Russian State Traffic Safety Inspectorate explained to Gazeta.Ru, the number 7 was chosen for technical reasons. The fact is that the sizes of each number and letter are clearly stated in GOST. In order not to rewrite the document, you can squeeze only two digits into the number without changing its size - 1 and 7. However, the series with one have already exhausted their limit, so only seven remains.

The next regions in whose three-digit codes a seven will appear ahead will be the Primorsky Territory (series 725 will appear there), the Krasnodar Territory (723) and Bashkiria (702).

A resident of Novosibirsk, who works and lives in Moscow, had to go home to get registration plates for his car. The code on the number “gave away its origin,” which became a reason for snobbery, as well as a basis for suspicion of traffic cops who preferred to stop nonresidents in Moscow or Muscovites on vacation.

The Moscow traffic police offices have run out of registration plates with code 777, and now inspectors are issuing plates with the Moscow region code 750 to new cars. When the regional “tins” run out, the capital will begin to hang plates on cars with the code of other regions of Russia.

License plates with code 777: what region is it?

In the near future, new registration plates may begin to be issued in other regions. Experts believe that there is an urgent need to change state standards. Some even propose introducing a system, like in the United States, where you can write any word on license plates.

The sevens were not chosen by chance. This is not due to the fact that in order to use other digits the registration plate design standards would have to be significantly changed. The fact is that the standards for registration plates are quite strict. The sizes of each number and letter must be the same regardless of the series.

New license plates with region code 777 began to be issued in Moscow

It will be possible to obtain such numbers as before: “A person goes to the department, submits an application to register a vehicle, pays the state fee, shows the car to the inspector, all the data is verified, after which he receives license plates with the paid receipts.”

“The number was not chosen by chance, we conducted a special study and found out that video recording cameras best recognize the “seven” and it takes up exactly as much space on the license plate as needed,” said Viktor Nilov, head of the main department for ensuring road safety of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. .

However, this is too much luck, which you shouldn’t hope for: most likely, traffic police officers will be afraid to offer illegal services. Therefore, the most realistic way to get what you want is to look for acquaintances, acquaintances from acquaintances at the traffic police. And now, with their help, illusory hope can come true and your car will be decorated with three sevens. The cost of such rooms varies greatly - from 5 thousand and above. It depends on the region of your residence and the greed of the traffic police officer who will become a good “fairy” who will make your dream come true.

But you shouldn’t rely too much on the method described above - it’s unlikely that you will be given numbers for which many people are willing to pay a tidy sum. In the best case, the traffic police officers themselves will offer to purchase it unofficially - of course, for an amount significantly different from the cost of the state duty.

Is it possible to officially get a nice license plate from the traffic police?

In 2020-2020, the government announced a new idea - to trade signs directly when buying a car in a dealership or during registration with an inspection. This means that the question “Is it possible to officially buy a beautiful license plate for a car at the traffic police” may be closed in the near future.

1. The desire to look respectable. Psychologically, a person feels close to representatives of certain structures, which gives him confidence. He also understands that people will react differently on the road when they encounter a car with a “criminal” license plate – they will be less likely to want to enter into conflict: cut off less, honk, etc. Many people buy similar numbers for all their family cars and are happy;
2. The desire to avoid punishment for violating traffic rules, feel freer while traveling. When such numbers are installed on an expensive car, some traffic police officers may consider the driver to be a person with great connections and money and not stop him. However, according to the assurances of many government officials, one should not count on this;
3. Belief in the magical power of numbers. Each sign is assigned a specific meaning, which symbolizes the owner or attracts success, wealth, etc.

How to get numbers with region 777

Issuance of numbers with area code 777 began in Moscow at the end of August 2013. At the same time, motorists suspected the traffic police of selling “beautiful” license plates of the new series. The traffic police denied these allegations, explaining that license plates of the 777 series are distributed by an automated system or issued one by one in ascending order.

The State Traffic Inspectorate also disclosed information about the brands of the first cars that received “AAA” series numbers with region code 777. Among them were Hyundai cars (64 cars), and Nissan cars (63 cars) were in second place in the number of “beautiful” license plates issued. Kia cars took third place - 58 cars of this Korean brand were assigned a new series of license plates. In fourth, fifth and sixth places were premium Mercedes-Benz (55 cars, fifth place), Audi (54 cars, sixth place), BMW (54 cars, seventh place).

AMP97

EKH- has weight in regions 77, 99, 199, 177, 97. Perhaps the most famous special series in the Russian Federation, which is most widely heard. People decipher it as “I Eat As I Want” (there are also more severe interpretations). Belongs to the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. It is impossible to buy EKH in the Moscow region, only in the region.

How to get numbers with region 777

The newspaper claims that the first issue received by an “ordinary woman” who took him to an inexpensive car. In fact, as members of the Blue Buckets community established, the first badge with the combination “a001aa777” went to the owner of an elite Mercedes. According to participants in the public movement, the cost of such a number can reach 15 million rubles.

Drivers were the first to receive signs with three letters A. Among drivers, the AAA series is considered privileged; previously it could be “purchased” from traffic police officers for an impressive amount. Now, as Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes, license plates with three A are issued as a state fee.

Moscow license plates are issued in Sevastopol

Numbers with code 777 have been issued in Moscow since the fall of 2013, and the beginning of issuance was accompanied by scandals and police accusations of non-transparent procedures and corruption. Probably, this situation was the reason for the statements of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, that “beautiful rooms” would not be sold in Sevastopol.

Cars with Russian license plates and the region code 777 have already appeared in the city. Residents of Sevastopol, who have already replaced their license plates, say that 777 is the code for Moscow and the Moscow region. Such numbers are considered prestigious; some car owners specially travel from other regions of Russia to get this “beautiful number” to Moscow to register their car.

Criminal license plates for cars and special license plates in Moscow and the region

AMP97- the most “criminal” special series of license plates in the Russian Federation. This series appeared as a result of replacing the numbers with the flag. It’s impossible to buy, renting is already warmer. They are usually installed on the official cars of top officials of the state, deputies of the State Duma, the Federation Council, high-ranking officials of the FSO, FSB, Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. If your car has such a number, most likely your life is good :)

This section briefly describes the various series of license plates that were issued and installed on official vehicles of law enforcement agencies and cars from the garage of administrative bodies and structures. Many of the listed series of numbers were subsequently issued in the general window of the MREO and ordinary (or unusual) private owners could become owners. Today, many such special series have absolutely nothing to do with government agencies, and a traffic police officer will be little impressed by a series, for example, EKH90 on the new Porsche Cayenne. However, with the right selection of special license plates and car models, it is quite possible to achieve a favorable effect on the road!

A lot of cars now drive with numbers on the number 777. Many do not even know that this is a specific region of the Russian Federation.

One of the basic truths for any car owner is that any car, when registered, receives an identification number. But there are more and more cars every year. So much so that the question of creating new area codes on numbers seriously arose, which led to the emergence of region 777. Let's start in order.

How did region 777 come about?

It became known back in 2013 that the database of some regional traffic police codes had been exhausted. We are talking about the capital region with codes 177, 197 and 199. The 299 and 277 codes that came to their aid also turned out to be short-lived.

But it all started much earlier, because the original two-digit region codes ended on the approaches to 2004. After some deliberation, the traffic police leadership gave the order to create new bases using three-digit numbers. According to their plan, such a supply should have been enough for a long time, but everything turned out to be more prosaic - the supply of available rooms was enough for a little over 9 years.

After this, the number base under the code 777 is introduced into circulation. The point here is not in the “lucky” number, but in the formatting of the license plate itself. Given the clear enough structure of the design to preserve the original format, it was decided to use seven as the narrowest number. On par with one, of course. A little later, other similar databases will appear - 797 and 799. So if you are interested in some kind of region 777 you saw on the license plates of the car, you should know that such cars are assigned to the city of Moscow.

Start issuing 777

Like all similar events in the city of Moscow, the issuance of the first batches of numbers generated an unprecedented stir among the criminal contingent. The most memorable thing was the issuance of the first serial sign 777 - specifically A 001 AAA 777 -. Traffic police officers, rubbing the invisible halo above their heads, proudly announced that they had issued the first license plate to a simple Muscovite, a hard worker, for subsequent installation on a budget car. However, upon closer examination by journalists, the capital's home front worker turned into a rich businessman, and an inexpensive car into a rather sickly Mercedes.

Such an unfortunate misunderstanding was explained by a change from one car to another. No, of course it is possible that a certain businessman found a Muscovite after receiving the number and bought it. But, most likely, everything was simpler. After all, according to the results of research into the issue, all the initial signs of this series were distributed among the richest people in the capital. And this whole parade of vanity took place against the backdrop of statements from the traffic police about a first-come, first-served queue, the order of which is unshakable before the authority of the capital’s bigwigs.

By the way, when the turn came to the “lucky” number 777 with the region 777, it was sold at an online auction for an amount exceeding a million rubles. Moscow is rich in such personnel.

In general, interest in “thieves” numbers is inexhaustible on the Internet. There are special services for selling beautiful signs, various online auctions, etc. Needless to say, many of them are fake, and the rest were either bought from the owners or purchased from traffic inspectors for some compensation. Unfortunately, many people forget that such numbers do not carry any special privileges. Serious people compare them with each other, and a credit Ford Focus will look “in no way” and will arouse admiration, perhaps, in your own garage cooperative. Or the same fans of numerology.

How to get a number with region 777?

For now, such a number can still be obtained in the traditional way - that is, by registering the car with the capital’s traffic police department. But the base is gradually depleting, so there is not much time left for this method.

To slow down the reduction in the base of new license plates, traffic police officers resort to some tricks:

• Possibility to save the number when changing the owner of the vehicle. By the way, if suddenly you do not have time to receive a plate with code 777 in the traditional way, you will be able to purchase a car with an already installed number of this type;
• You can also save your number when changing your car. That is, when deregistering an old car, transfer it to a new one;
• Now you don’t have to change it when you change your place of residence to another region.

From this we can conclude that these measures are aimed at car owners who already have a license plate and allow them to use it for as long as possible. All this slows down, but does not stop the process of filling the bases in Moscow.

However, residents of other regions also have the same problems. After all, soon the seven in the code will become the property not only of Moscow and the Moscow region (where cars with region 777 can be found everywhere), but also in other places. Primorye, Bashkiria, Krasnodar Territory are the first candidates.

In custody

There have already been many proposals to stabilize the bases. Starting from the introduction of the American identification system on cars (where you can write whatever you want on a sign), to the introduction of a new type of sign with changed formatting. Both of these options were ultimately rejected by the traffic police. After all, the appearance on the road of a bunch of cars with signs of different formats will create a chaotic situation in which identifying a possible offender will become very problematic.

Every year the number of cars on Russian roads increases. Thus, in 2013, a record increase in the number of transport vehicles was recorded, equal to two million cars. It was then that the first cars with the lucky combination “777” in place of the region code appeared on the country’s highways. Many motorists ask: in which city’s traffic police can you get such license plates? Let's answer this question.

Which city code was “777”: why?

In the second half of 2013, the Moscow traffic police announced that they had exhausted the database of numbers where the region code was designated:

• or 199;
• or 197.

The two-digit code has been used for a long time; the limit of numbers (with codes “77”, “99” and “97”) was exhausted back in 2004. Then the authorities issued permission to use new series, where the region code became three-digit. They lasted only ten years. That is why cars with the region code stamped with the combination “777” began to appear on Moscow roads.

The sevens were not chosen by chance. This is not due to the fact that in order to use other digits the registration plate design standards would have to be significantly changed. The fact is that the standards for registration plates are quite strict. The sizes of each number and letter must be the same regardless of the series.

In order not to completely change the accepted standard, the authorities decided to place one and seven in the code, since these are the narrowest numbers. In addition to the combination “777”, numbers with codes “799” and “797” will appear.

When did the issuance of numbers begin?

The first numbers, where the region code was indicated by the combination “777,” were issued by the capital’s traffic police at the end of August 2013. This event was not without scandal. Representatives of the department stated that the registration plate “A 001 AAA 777” was issued to an ordinary Muscovite driving a budget car. In fact, media representatives found a car with this number, and it turned out to be a Mercedes SUV worth more than five million rubles.

Representatives of the traffic police responded to the journalists' claims that the license plate could have been moved to another car. During the investigation, representatives of various publications discovered that the first numbers with a lucky code were received by owners of expensive and premium cars. To all complaints, the traffic police responded that now the system for issuing registration plates is carried out on a first-come, first-served basis, which officials cannot influence. In fact, many car enthusiasts claim that you can get a license plate for a beautiful car the same way as in the late nineties - with the help of a bribe. Those who want to purchase a number that is easy to remember are advised on auto forums to view advertisements at auctions more often.

The social movement “Blue Buckets” believed that the new code of the capital region could cause an unprecedented stir among wealthy people. This statement was confirmed, since a few weeks after the start of issuing registration plates of the new series, an advertisement appeared on one of the online auctions for the sale of the “super lucky” license plate “A 777 AA 777” for almost a million rubles. It sold out in more than a day. However, such a number will not bring any privileges to the owner. Its only advantage is the ease of memorization.

Where else will numbers with sevens appear in the “area code” part?

The number of car purchase and sale transactions is growing every year. To reduce the shortage of registration numbers, the authorities allowed:

• preserve signs when changing ownership;
• do not change them when deregistering the car;
• register a car without changing the number when moving to another region.
