New Car Registration Rules come into force

The emergence of electronic PTS

One of the most noticeable innovations is the introduction of electronic PTS instead of paper documents.

Fully electronic PTS will be introduced in Russia only in a year - from November 1, 2021, new cars will be sold in showrooms only with such a document. However, today you can obtain an electronic version of the Vehicle Passport. For example, if the paper PTS was lost or damaged.

The new rules for vehicle registration, which came into force in 2018, do not cancel the paper PTS.

At the moment, if a paper document requires replacement, the owner of a car or other vehicle can choose which version of the document he wants to receive in return - paper or electronic.

Online car registration

The services of many government agencies can be obtained using online services. Vehicle registration is included in the list, but only in terms of making an appointment with the State Traffic Inspectorate. The remaining stages must be completed independently. The table will help you figure out exactly how you can register your car with the traffic police in 2021 through government services or the MFC:

Filing an application online does not exempt you from state fees. A 30% discount is valid only when paying through the State Services website.

Replacing the engine will become a simpler procedure

In fact, even before the new vehicle registration rules came into force, replacing an engine should not have been something unimaginably difficult from the point of view of registering this action. However, in practice, it turned out that traffic police officers used the insufficiently clear wording of the old order and illegally demanded documents confirming ownership of the new engine.

Now the wording has become more unambiguous, and the traffic police register changes without requiring additional documents.

If you install an engine in your car that is similar to the one that was on it before (in terms of volume, power, model and other characteristics), a new entry will be made without requiring any documents for a different engine.

Gift from the Ministry of Internal Affairs: new rules for car registration

Replacing the motor as a consumable is no longer a problem

Replacing the motor as a consumable is no longer a problem

All these innovations are described in the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated June 26, 2018 No. 399 “On approval of the Rules for state registration of motor vehicles and their trailers in the State Road Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, a sample form of a certificate of registration of a vehicle and recognition the regulatory legal acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and certain provisions of the regulatory legal acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, registered on September 25, 2018 under number 52240, have lost force.

The order takes effect on October 7, 2021 and repeals previous vehicle registration rules that have been in effect since 2008 (Order No. 1001).

Replacing the engine without visiting the traffic police department

Vehicle license plates will be issued in order

Obviously, with the help of this norm, the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is trying to stop the practice of selling “beautiful” license plates by employees of traffic police departments. Now, during the registration or registration of a vehicle, a license plate will be assigned to it according to one of two possible schemes:

• strictly in order - having received a batch of license plates, the traffic police department will be able to issue them only in ascending letters and numbers;
• randomly - only on condition that a special computer program, a random number generator, is installed in the traffic police department; If there is no such program, the order of issuing numbers in ascending letters and numbers should be used.

Whether this innovation will help eradicate the corrupt practice of selling “beautiful” license plates or whether traffic police officers will come up with ways to bypass it, only practical experience in applying the new order will show.

Why do you need to register a car with the State Traffic Inspectorate?

The rules for registering a car are the same for everyone. A vehicle that is not registered threatens the new owner with a fine and confiscation of the driver’s license for up to 3 months. To get your license back, you will have to pass a theoretical exam on your knowledge of the rules of the road. The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is currently regulated.

It is important to know! After passing state registration, a connection is created between an individual or legal entity and a vehicle. The completion of the procedure is confirmed by documents issued by traffic police officers. Registration is relevant for new and previously used vehicles.

You can reserve your number for a year

The existing procedure previously made it possible to retain the registration numbers for a car after the sale of the vehicle. The owner of the plates had the opportunity to deposit them for 180 days, and during this time buy a new vehicle, then installing the usual plates on it.

Now this period has been exactly doubled. Russians have the opportunity to store their numbers in the traffic police for almost a year—360 days—and then use them again.

Reasons for refusal

The majority of refusals to register a car are due to ignorance of the rules. Many people do not bring the entire set of documents or forget about certain restrictions. The list of reasons for rejecting requests to register a vehicle is as follows:

• a bailiff ban has been imposed;
• vehicle unit numbers do not correspond to those in the PTS;
• false documents were submitted;
• car stolen;
• the vehicle design is unsafe;
• registration numbers were found to be fake.

Sometimes failure occurs due to delays. The entire registration process from the date of application to the issuance of the certificate should take no more than 3 days. If any requests needed to be made and the owner did not meet the deadline, registration will not be completed.

What else do the new 2021 motor vehicle registration rules contain?

The new order contains other innovations that are worth knowing about:

• Now, when registering a car, you can present not only a passport, but also a temporary identity card,
• in the case when the owner of the vehicle dies and several people claim his inheritance, the heirs can come to an agreement themselves. in whose name the car or motorcycle will be re-registered; however, the consent of the heirs must be notarized,
• Vehicle registration is no longer cancelled, even if bailiffs impose a ban on registration actions.

New Car Registration Rules come into force

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated June 26, 2018 N 399 approved:

• Rules for state registration of motor vehicles and trailers;
• sample form of vehicle registration certificate.

The rules establish the procedure for registering with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate motor vehicles with an internal combustion engine displacement of more than 50 cubic cm or a maximum electric motor power of more than 4 kW, as well as a maximum design speed of more than 50 km/h and trailers for them, intended for driving on public roads. , as well as vehicles registered in other states and temporarily imported into the territory of the Russian Federation for a period of more than 6 months.

Registration of a vehicle is carried out by divisions of the State Traffic Inspectorate for an individual or legal entity, an individual entrepreneur who owns a vehicle by right of ownership, as well as for a person who owns, uses or disposes of a vehicle on behalf of the owner legally.

A list of grounds is provided in the presence of which vehicles are not subject to registration with the State Traffic Inspectorate. In particular, when signs of concealment, falsification, alteration, or destruction of vehicle identification numbers, numbers of components and assemblies are detected; prohibitions and (or) restrictions on registration actions have been imposed on the vehicle; There are no marks on the payment of the recycling fee, etc., in the vehicle passport.

The procedure for registering a vehicle with an electronic title has been determined. It has been established that registration actions are carried out on the basis of a valid PTS or electronic PTS having the status “valid”. The PTS, which was replaced by an electronic passport, is considered invalid from the date of registration of the electronic passport.

For vehicles that do not have electronic passports, PTS are issued to replace those that are lost, unsuitable for use, or do not correspond to the established standard. If there are no records in the PTS about the owners, names and details of documents confirming ownership, these lines are filled in during registration actions.

The owner of the vehicle is obliged to register the vehicle or make changes to the registration data of the vehicle within 10 days after the acquisition, release of the vehicle into circulation or the occurrence of other circumstances requiring changes to the registration data.

The Rules stipulate the procedure for registering a car owned by two or more owners: registration is carried out for one of them with the written consent of the remaining owners, submitted by them to the registration department of the State Traffic Inspectorate during the registration action.

“TRANSIT” registration plates are issued for 30 days (previously the period was 20 days).

Let us recall that the Federal Law of August 3, 2018 N 283-FZ “On state registration of vehicles in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” was recently adopted, which defines:

• legal and organizational basis, goals of state registration of vehicles;
• rights and obligations of participants in relations arising in connection with the state registration of vehicles. An exception is relations arising in connection with the state registration of self-propelled vehicles and other types of equipment, as well as relations arising in connection with the state registration of vehicles, self-propelled vehicles, military, special and other types of equipment, experimental (test) samples of weapons, military and special equipment military automobile inspections.
