Since the release of the online service, Ukrainians have registered approximately 9% of car purchase contracts through the app. Making an application online takes up to 15 minutes. Complete re-registration without additional checks takes place within an hour.
But some users receive a refusal when using the service. This mainly happens when there is information about the load on the vehicle.
«Diya`s» information systems are fully integrated with the databases of the Ministry of Justice. If electronic re-registration is refused, citizens must contact the service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The ongoing state of war in Ukraine requires mobilization measures for everyone, including the car owners. If necessary, any vehicle can be compulsorily alienated, mobilized or removed for a fee.
Seizure of personal property is carried out only from private individuals and with a proper financial compensation. The compensation can be paid in parts over five years after the end of the martial law.
During mobilization, the ownership remains with the owner of the car. Vehicles, as a rule, are not taken from private individuals, but from enterprises. Mobilization is carried out in accordance with the plans and restrictions specified in the registers of the Ministry of Defense. After the end of the martial law, the cars are returned to the owner.
Compulsory alienation is a confiscation of a car with mandatory compensation to the owner of the market value. It is initiated by the military-civilian administration and the military command after coordination with local authorities.
The government of Canada announced the holding of a national summit on the problem of mass car theft on February 8. According to the authorities, the rate of this type of crime is increasing rapidly across Canada.
In 2022, the increase in car thefts in Atlantic Canada was 34.5%, Ontario – 48.3%, Quebec – 50%. The Canadian Finance and Leasing Association (CFLA) estimates that 9,600 cars have disappeared from the greater Toronto area. This is three times more than in 2015.
A large proportion of stolen vehicles end up in the Middle East and Africa, making it impossible to recover them. Cars that remain in Canada are first used by perpetrators in crimes and then destroyed.
