How to register a motorcycle without documents: step-by-step instructions for legalizing a vehicle

If you are planning to buy a motorcycle, you should know that you will not be able to ride it without registration. More precisely, driving an unregistered vehicle in the city is prohibited and it can easily be confiscated by authorized government officials. However, if you have the necessary documents, then going through the registration procedure is quite simple. But how to register a motorcycle without documents or if it is homemade? This is much more difficult, because there are no papers. However, nothing is impossible.

The legislative framework

How to register a motorcycle without documents? This is a rather difficult question. The point is that a lot depends on the circumstances.

According to the law, the absence of papers on a car is an obstacle to registration actions. If the applicant does not have some certificates, he will either have to forget about registering this or that vehicle, or be puzzled by the restoration of driving certificates.

Accordingly, without documentation it is pointless to think about bringing an idea to life. Therefore, we will next try to find out how to obtain certain papers for a motorcycle, as well as how registration actions are carried out.

When and who needs to register equipment with the traffic police

If you are just going to choose a motorcycle, immediately pay attention to the “legal” options. They almost always have “pure” origin and appropriate documents. You can check your motorcycle using the frame number on the traffic police website and various theft databases created by motorcyclists.

If you do not go through the procedure of re-registering the vehicle in your name, the vehicle will not be considered yours. You can register your bike without problems and paperwork only within the legally allotted time frame. They directly depend on the place of purchase of the vehicle:

· A motorcycle purchased on the territory of the Russian Federation must be registered within ten days. This time is quite enough to transport or move the bike, collect all the papers and register;

· If the motorcycle was purchased outside of Russia, the time frame is compressed to five days. This was done to complicate the work of resellers, who, moreover, often profit from stolen equipment.

Many bikers are concerned about whether it is possible to register a cross-country or pit bike class motorcycle. Unfortunately, such equipment is not registered. It is devoid of lighting equipment, mirrors, direction indicators, and is considered sports equipment. It is prohibited to drive it on public roads. Of course, there are those who like to trot through the forest, stir up mud off-road, or simply go fishing in the countryside. But driving such equipment off the track carries all the risks of theft or meeting with traffic police representatives. At the same time, do not confuse motocross bikes with enduro bikes. The latter are equipped with lighting and mirrors, which is why they are considered full-fledged vehicles and can be registered.

What should the applicant have?

How to register a motorcycle without documents? No way. First of all, a person will have to restore car certificates in the established forms. The main thing is to know how to behave. Unfortunately, the corresponding task is not always easy to implement.

What statements should the true owner of a car or motorcycle have? Usually this:

  • STS;
  • PTS;
  • car insurance policy;
  • title paper.

Until the vehicle is registered with the authorized bodies, the owner of the car will not have a registration certificate. In the case of buying a used motorcycle, a person will have to take all the certificates listed above for further registration. But it happens that there are no such extracts. What to do?

Deregistration of a motorcycle

Cancellation of motorcycle registration is carried out before sale, full or partial disposal, or travel abroad for a long period of time. To complete the procedure, you need an application and the following documents to deregister a motorcycle:

  • owner's passport
  • registration certificate
  • registration certificate
  • receipt of payment of state duty

Our employees will help you prepare the required set of documents in a short time and save time on going through the procedure.

Options for solving the problem

Is it possible to get documents for a motorcycle? Yes, but sometimes you have to try hard to do it.

What life situations do you encounter in practice? Here are the most common scenarios:

  • the car belongs to the applicant;
  • Legally, the motorcycle does not belong to the applicant, but it is known whose vehicle it is;
  • It is unclear whose vehicle they plan to register for each person.

Accordingly, further we will try to consider all the listed situations. Unfortunately, the latter arrangement causes a lot of problems in practice. And it is in this case that it is often not possible to obtain vehicle registration.

How to restore documents for a motorcycle

Sometimes, when you come across your father’s old motorcycle in the garage, you want to get on it and rush around the city, squeezing everything you can out of the bike.
It’s just that the whole house is on break, you understand that the documents have been lost for a long time and there is no chance of finding them, but you don’t want to catch the eye of the police. This is where the question arises of how to restore lost documents for a motorcycle. If your documents are stolen, the first thing you need to do is write a statement about their loss to the police. It doesn’t matter that you lost your documents or had them stolen, write about the loss anyway, since no one will look for them, and you will have to fill out so many protocols that you yourself will not be happy. The department will give you a certificate.

With it, go to the MREO, where you must provide a passport with copies, an assignment document, an registration card, an insurance policy and a receipt for payment for the vehicle for the current year. There you will immediately be given a temporary technical passport for three months.

Legally owned by someone else

How to register a motorcycle without documents? The answer to this question directly depends on the specific situation. The only thing we can say with certainty is that, first of all, a person will have to restore their driving certificates. Without them, registration with the authorized bodies will not be carried out. Refusal to register will be considered completely legal and justified.

Let us assume that the motorcycle legally belongs to the citizen-applicant. In this case, restoring auto certificates will cause the least amount of problems. You just have to find out which extracts are missing.

At the moment, the following components may be missing:

  • document on ownership of movable property;
  • registration certificate;
  • car insurance policy.

First, let's look at the process of restoring title paper. As a rule, this is the basis for updating the technical passport of a motorcycle.

To restore the corresponding document, a citizen simply needs to take with him his passport and the extracts available for the motorcycle, and then contact a notary office. To the one where the transaction for registration of property rights was carried out. Or you can contact the motorcycle seller. The relevant persons must have copies of title documents. Let's say, purchase and sale agreements. They will make another copy of the statement, then certify it and give it to the applicant.

It sounds simple, but in reality certain difficulties often arise. As practice shows, it is easiest for citizens to restore their transport title deeds. You will have to put a lot of effort into the rest of the documentation.

No certificate of title - method No. 2

How to register a motorcycle without documents? If a citizen does not have a single transport certificate at all, he needs to think about obtaining one. With proper preparation, you can achieve the desired result quite quickly.

It happens that citizens do not remember where the transaction for the transfer of rights to movable property was concluded. In this case, the restoration of title documents may be difficult. But there is still a way out!

To achieve this task, you can do the following:

  1. Find contacts of the person who transferred the rights to the motorcycle.
  2. Contact the previous owner of the vehicle and ask him to send a copy of the title document, as well as other transport certificates.
  3. Receive documents from the sender. Let's say by mail. Copies must be certified by a notary.

In reality, everything is not as difficult as it seems. True, in practice, sometimes it is not easy to restore the relevant documents.

We restore the registration certificate if the vehicle belongs to the applicant

How to register a motorcycle without a title? There is no way to do this. The thing is that a technical passport is the main transport certificate, which reflects the technical parameters of a movable object, as well as information about the owners of the property. It is one of the mandatory extracts for registration actions.

As already mentioned, the owner of the car may not have a vehicle registration certificate. In this case, it is recommended to proceed as follows:

  1. Report the loss or theft of your PTS to the police. You will need to have your ID with you at this time.
  2. Contact the dealership or the traffic police department with available vehicle statements. It is enough to have a title document, as well as a civil passport.
  3. Request PTS from the relevant authority.
  4. Pay for the production of such a document.
  5. Receive a registration certificate for a motorcycle or car at the agreed time.

As a rule, if the title is restored, the citizen will immediately register the car. Accordingly, in the course of the actions taken, the person will also be given an STS. It will be issued even if the applicant has the appropriate documentation. This is due to the fact that, according to the law, changing the PTS entails a mandatory adjustment of the certificate of registration with the traffic police.

If documents are lost or stolen

How to legalize a motorcycle without documents? The point is that there is no clear answer to such a question. As already mentioned, a lot depends on the specific life situation. Registration will not always be easy.

How to register a motorcycle if there are no documents

The simplest and most common situation is the lack of documents due to their loss or theft. What to do in this case? It is required to restore the certificates for the vehicle, and then contact the traffic police or other authorized body to register the motorcycle in the prescribed manner.

Instructions for restoring PTS and STS will look like this:

  1. Go to the police and report the theft or loss of vehicle documents. To do this, you will have to draw up and submit an application in the prescribed form. It describes the circumstances under which the loss was discovered.
  2. Find title documents for the vehicle. If they are not there, restore them. We'll deal with this process later.
  3. Prepare a number of certificates to restore the registration certificate and vehicle registration certificate.
  4. Contact the traffic police, MFC or MREO at the place of residence of the citizen-owner with an application for restoration of documents.
  5. Pay the fee for the relevant actions.
  6. Receive the restored documents for the vehicle. Usually, a new STS is issued at the same time. Consequently, a re-registration procedure will be carried out.

After these steps, you can deregister the vehicle and register it in another region without much difficulty. This technique helps to restore the STS and registration certificate. Without them, further registration actions are impossible.

No OSAGO

Registering a motorcycle without a document is an unrealistic task. The point is that such a possibility is not provided for by the current legislation of the Russian Federation. This means that you will have to think about restoring the documentation. Without appropriate manipulations, registration actions will not be carried out in order to ensure property security.

Sometimes citizens do not have a car insurance policy. It's easy to restore or order. It is enough to contact the insurance company with a passport, PTS and title paper for a movable object. After paying for the policy and insurance services, you can receive the corresponding statement in your hands.

From a legal point of view

The fact that you do not have a purchase and sale agreement is not the main problem. Judging by the documents, the motorcycle is still owned by the bankrupt store. The PTS contains all the necessary stamps and signatures about this.

At the same time, the store went bankrupt 4 years ago. How his property was disposed of and whether there are other claimants to it besides you is unknown.

Even if you manage to come to an agreement with the landlady and draw up a retroactive purchase and sale agreement, it is not a fact that this will solve the problem.

Any transaction made by the debtor or on behalf of the debtor can be challenged. Perhaps this is why the owner of the bankrupt store is in no hurry to draw up a purchase and sale agreement for you. Otherwise, she will have to answer to creditors or to the budget - this is if the store still has tax debts. So, without knowing all the details of this bankruptcy, it is difficult to give advice and make predictions.

Does not legally belong, but the owner is known

Is it possible to register a motorcycle without documents? Absolutely not. To register with the authorized bodies, a person must have a certain package of certificates. This is a completely legal requirement.

The next scenario is a situation where a citizen does not legally own the vehicle, but knows who owns the vehicle. Did someone buy a motorcycle without documents? How to make them?

There are several options. Namely:

  • personally contact the owner and make title documents;
  • restore car certificates by proxy;
  • use postal services to prepare documents for the car and communicate with the owner of the vehicle.

Next, we will try to consider all of the above situations. In practice they cause a lot of problems. And therefore it is not recommended to buy a vehicle without documents. This is quite a risky step.

I lost my motorcycle documents. How to restore | Abmoto Blog

Losing documents for a motorcycle is an annoying, unpleasant and, frankly speaking, difficult problem. But still solvable. You will have to run around the offices and stand in queues, in some places you will even have to quarrel. But everything can be done with minimal loss of time and nerves if you know how.

Lost or stolen

If the documents are lost, burned, drowned or caught in a meat grinder, then everything is obvious. You clicked it yourself, and suffer yourself. But if your documents were stolen, for example, along with your bag, there is a great temptation to run to the police and demand that the villain be found and punished.

This is a hopeless matter. Upon the fact of theft, employees are obliged to initiate a criminal case, but the police will obviously not be happy about another “hanging.” The chances that your loss will be found are close to zero. To be honest, no one will even bother looking. But you will have to fill out a lot of extra protocols and other papers.

So my advice to you

But if you know for sure what was stolen, it makes sense to examine the trash cans and trash cans closest to the scene. Thieves often throw away documents. Well, promise the finder a reward.

Registration of a title document

How to register a motorcycle without documents? It was said earlier that this is a useless undertaking. This means it’s worth thinking about issuing car certificates.

It happens that legally the vehicle does not belong to the person who wants to register the car. In this case, you need to think about registering the fact of transfer of ownership rights to movable property.

For example, you can use the following instruction:

  1. Find the “legal” owner of a motorcycle or other vehicle.
  2. Agree on a particular transaction.
  3. Collect documents for the relevant procedure.
  4. Draw up an agreement with a notary on the transfer of rights to a motorcycle in one way or another.

After this, the PTS, STS, as well as the car insurance policy are transferred to the potential registrar. In addition, he will have a title document in his hands. It will be used in the future by the traffic police.

Quite often, people enter into purchase and sale agreements or deeds of gift, but with the unspoken transfer of money for transport. There is nothing difficult or incomprehensible in the corresponding operations.

Important: to conduct a legally significant transaction, the presence of both parties in the notary’s office is necessary.

List of required documents

Documents for obtaining a vehicle passport:

  • application for registration;
  • application for issuance of a duplicate;
  • a certificate from the police about the opening of a case of theft of a registration certificate (if the vehicle title was stolen);
  • if the paper is worn out - the PTS itself;
  • motorcycle owner's identification card;
  • purchase agreement;
  • MTPL insurance policy;
  • diagnostic card;
  • receipt for payment of state duty.

Restoration of title by owner

How to register a motorcycle without documents? The answer to this question is simple - not at all. It will not be possible to cope with the task until the citizen issues a car certificate.

If the vehicle does not legally belong to the applicant, he will have to contact the owner of the motorcycle for documents. Does the person concerned also lack them?

In this case, you can ask the owner to restore the documentation himself, and then sign a title agreement. Until this moment, there is no point in thinking about how to register a motorcycle without a title.

The second scenario is the independent restoration of transport documentation with the subsequent issuance of title certificates. In such circumstances, the instructions listed above must be followed. Only first you will have to issue a power of attorney for the potential owner of the car. Someone who purchased a vehicle without documents.

Sold without title

A potential buyer comes to inspect the bike he likes, but it turns out that the seller has no title, no STS, no insurance. If the price and external condition are satisfactory, the person who comes for the inspection is faced with the task of whether it will be possible to register the motorcycle without documents.

To solve this, it is worth documenting:

  1. The main confirmation is the purchase and sale agreement.
  2. A receipt for funds received under the above agreement.
  3. An explanatory note from the seller about how the sold vehicle came into his possession.

Specify in the contract:

  • Full name, series and passport number of the seller and buyer date of birth;
  • everything about the motorcycle - make, model, color and year of manufacture, as well as identification data (chassis, engine, body numbers);
  • price;
  • date and place (locality) of compilation;
  • agreement with the terms - signatures.

It is better to supplement the standardized format with signatures of witnesses.

If the contract is supplemented with the signatures of witnesses to the transaction, it is better that these are not friends of the buyer, but persons from the seller’s side.

It is better to entrust the certificate of the transaction to people associated with the seller for two reasons: it is more reliable and in the event of a lawsuit being initiated, friends will not have to answer for false information. Suddenly the seller stole the bike, decided to sell it, and then the witnesses might have problems. In any case, a written contract, even without third parties, serves as a guarantee of the buyer’s good faith.

A receipt for receipt of money is required to confirm that the transaction has been completed. An explanation from a person selling a motorcycle without a title is also needed to cover the buyer’s “rear.” In case of misunderstandings with traffic police officers, if suddenly the vehicle is wanted. The most common reason is that it was given as a gift or left as an inheritance. Legal documents may be lost or damaged (burned, accidentally dropped into a washing machine, etc.)

If there is a purchase and sale agreement, an explanatory note and a receipt, the buyer receives the status of a “bona fide purchaser”.

To drive on Russian roads, you need to obtain a PTS, for which you need to come to the traffic police with this kit. To issue a passport for a motorcycle, any certificate of receipt of the vehicle legally will be suitable, as well as a purchase and sale agreement will be suitable.

Write an application, indicating your full name, series and number of the passport, technical characteristics of the purchased motorcycle and demand to receive:

  • vehicle passports;
  • state signs.

In case of refusal, require written justification and send the claim to court, paying the state fee in advance.

Most likely, it will be declared invalid, then with a court decision, come to the traffic police authorities to receive the STS and PTS. Employees will cooperate in this case, since if there is a court decision, they are relieved of responsibility for unlawful actions. In the event of an inspection, the person who issued the passport for the vehicle by decision of the judge will not face anything.

If you can't come

Need paperwork for a motorcycle? Without documents of the established form, it will not be possible to register a vehicle. It happens that a citizen cannot personally contact the owner of movable property. How to proceed? How to register a motorcycle without documents?

You can cope with the tasks through mail with receipt notifications. First, the citizen asks for a power of attorney from the owner of the car, then restores the missing car certificates, after which he himself prepares a purchase and sale agreement or other agreement on the transfer of rights to a movable object. Next, you need to send the corresponding statement for signature, and then receive it in your hands. The completed title document (a copy with notarization) will have to be sent to the former owner of the motorcycle. Otherwise, the transaction will be declared invalid.

Registration instructions

How to register a motorcycle without documents? From all of the above it follows that this task can be completed only after receiving certificates for the vehicle. Let's assume that they already exist. What's next?

Where to register a motorcycle

The vehicle owner must perform the following actions:

  1. Fill out an application to register a motorcycle, and then attach to it your passport, PTS, title document and STS, if you have one. You shouldn't forget about insurance either.
  2. Pay for transport registration services. Production of license plates will cost 1,500 rubles, registration of a new PTS - 800 rubles (650 rubles - EPTS), issuance of STS - 500 rubles.
  3. Apply for registration to the traffic police or MFC. You can submit it through “State Vehicle Registration”).
  4. Receive new documents for the motorcycle within the agreed time frame.

It usually takes about an hour to serve one person. It is better to find out more accurate data from the authorized body.

It's unclear whose

Registering a motorcycle without documents is a futile task. It also happens that there is a vehicle, but its owner is unknown.

For example, a citizen guesses who owns a motorcycle. Let's assume the owner is dead. In this case, thinking about how to register a motorcycle without documents is also useless. You will have to contact government authorities and then prove the fact that the owner of the car has no heirs. After this, as a rule, the movable property is purchased from the state. It is this that will restore the title and other papers for the motorcycle.

Another very confusing situation is the transfer of a vehicle to the use of a person by the heir of the car, who also does not have papers for the movable object. Let's say a friend gave away his grandfather's old motorcycle. How to proceed?

First, you will have to agree with your friend on the preparation of title papers and vehicle statements for the object. Only after this is it possible to formalize the transfer of ownership rights. For example, by donation. And only under such circumstances will it be possible to successfully register a car.

One of the options for legitimizing homemade products

The procedure, frankly speaking, is not very simple, but given a sufficient number of successful attempts, it is quite doable. And if you have enough patience and knowledge to build a decent device, then you can definitely handle the paperwork. Besides, we need to bring the matter to an end.

Even before building a motorcycle, you can go to the nearest branch of the MREO traffic police department where you can find out the address of the nearest organization that deals with certification.

Next, we send a letter with drawings, calculations and sketches of parts of the future motorcycle. Experts evaluate and say either your motorcycle will be a remake of a serial one or it will be a real homemade one. Looking ahead, I’ll clarify that registering a motorcycle built from scratch is easier, since a simply converted production motorcycle should be examined by traffic police officers. Some differences: a self-propelled vehicle is a manufactured frame, suspension, or a “non-original” engine is simply installed in any combination. But an alteration is the replacement of headlights with non-standard ones or, for example, a manufactured seat, that is, not critical changes and not specified by the manufacturer.

After completion of construction work, the motorcycle is taken to a certification service where it will be tested, and specialists will be able to suggest what needs to be altered and also point out flaws in the design. After which they have the right to issue a document confirming the legalization of the motorcycle. With this document we go to the MREO and register it according to the usual scheme.

Authorized Services

How to register a motorcycle? Without documents this is impossible. And we have already found out how auto certificates are restored. By following these tips, you can quickly achieve success.

Now let's look at the vehicle registration process. It is carried out in one of the authorized bodies. Namely:

  • MFC;
  • traffic police;
  • traffic police;
  • MREO.

You need to choose a service at the place of registration of the applicant. Otherwise, the operation will be denied, and quite legally.

If desired, you can register the vehicle through GosGosGosuslug. If a person has an activated account, he can act like this:

  1. Find it in the catalog of options on “State Vehicle Registration”.
  2. Select the option required by the citizen.
  3. Fill out the electronic form following the instructions.
  4. Submit your application for processing.
  5. Pay the transaction fee.
  6. Contact the authorized service with pre-prepared statements.

At this stage you can finish. The traffic police inspector will inspect the vehicle and issue registration certificates.

When is a refusal possible, and what to do?

A traffic police refusal can be obtained if:

  • There is a restriction or a ban on vehicle registration.
  • The motorcycle is wanted.
  • There was a suspicion of theft.
  • The submitted documents do not meet the requirements.
  • There are signs of counterfeit or non-conformity.

To get out of this situation, you need to:

  1. Request a refusal with reasons in writing.
  2. File a complaint addressed to the head of the MREO.
  3. Re-attach all required copies of documents.

If this does not help, your only chance is to challenge the decision in court, but no one will give you guarantees for a favorable outcome of the proceedings.

If you lose documents for a vehicle, you should not continue to drive it carefree or use the services of dubious companies that promise to solve all problems without unnecessary hassle, and also do not panic too much, because a lost license is not the worst thing that can happen to a motorcyclist.

Price

How to get a title for a motorcycle without documents? It is necessary to prove the fact of ownership of the property and attach certificates of loss of extracts.

How much do registration actions cost in Russia? It is proposed to focus on the following duties:

  • 800 rubles - new PTS;
  • 350 rubles - correction of the technical passport;
  • 1,500 rubles - license plates for motorcycles and trailers;
  • 2,000 rubles - license plate;
  • 500 rubles - issuance of STS.

Moreover, if you pay through Gosuslugi, you can reduce the amount of duties by 30%. Everyone is able to exercise this right.

How to register a motorcycle without documents? The answer to this question will no longer put a person in an awkward position. Unfortunately, such an operation is not always carried out quickly and without hassle.

How to register a homemade motorcycle?

Customizing, that is, building an individual bike “from scratch” or based on some model, is a fairly common hobby in Russia. Is it possible to register a homemade money-maker? It is possible, but depending on the type of changes made. Customs are different:

· Minimal styling, such as hanging panniers, replacing brake and clutch levers, repainting within the color specified in the PTS, airbrushing, re-upholstering the seats - that is, any additions that do not make changes to the design of the motorcycle will not cause any problems with registration (if the bike that served as the basis was designed according to all the rules);

· Design changes require mandatory certification. If you install a homemade forward flow on a motorcycle, or arches of unknown origin, problems may arise with this. Even heated grips or an optional lamp in the headlight require certification. You may be forced to remove all this before you can re-register the money;

· A homemade motorcycle built from scratch will require more patience and perseverance from you in order to register it. Choppers, bobbers, scramblers, if they have a rebuilt frame or a radically changed appearance, will have to undergo a serious check for compliance with GOSTs and UNECE rules, and receive a certificate approving the type of vehicle.

All checks are carried out in special laboratories. You will need to provide your homemade bike, application for a certificate, technical description and design documentation. If you built a custom based on another motorcycle, you will need to provide a complete list of all changes.

If everything complies with safety standards, then with the received certificate you can safely go to the traffic police and register the bike as in the usual procedure.

Cost of the registration procedure

Now that you know how to register a motorcycle, it's time to calculate the financial costs. It's not as expensive as it might seem:

· Registration certificate – 300 rubles;

· Making changes to the PTS – 300 rubles;

· New mobile phone number – 1000 rubles;

· If temporary registration is necessary – 200 rubles.

That is, in total you will pay no more than two thousand rubles for vehicle registration. Moreover, the fine for driving without license plates is five thousand rubles! You should not ride an unregistered motorcycle, it is much more expensive and dangerous. It's one thing if you drive a Ural or Izhe. It’s quite another to be the owner of a dockless Honda, Yamaha or Dukati. If they are stolen, you will lose a huge amount of money, and you will not be able to find your bike or prove that it belonged to you.

You shouldn’t think that “I won’t get into an accident.” Riding a motorcycle with ABS (anti-lock braking system) or a smart on-board computer does not guarantee that you will not fall. And in case of any accident, the owner of a bike without documents will be guilty, since he did not have the right to leave the garage at all.

Don't break the law, follow the rules, and the roads will be safer for two-wheelers!
