How to register a truck with the traffic police?
Registration of freight transport does not take much time from the owner. As in the case of passenger cars, the car owner will receive a truck registration certificate on the day of contacting the traffic police.
Where and when to apply?
You can register a truck at any branch of the MREO State Traffic Safety Inspectorate in Russia, regardless of both the place where the vehicle was purchased and the residence of its owner. After registration, the driver will be issued license plates indicating the region in which the car was registered.
Important! The owner is obliged to register the truck within 10 days from the date of conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement. After the specified time has passed, operating a vehicle without registration will be illegal.
Required documents
The required package of documents for registering a truck with the traffic police will depend on who the owner is - an individual or a legal entity. For individuals you will need to provide:
- application for registration of a vehicle (according to the standard form);
- civil passport identifying the car owner;
- a vehicle passport issued at a car dealership, at customs, or transferred by the previous owner of the car;
- documents confirming the ownership of the truck (sale and purchase agreement, deed of gift, cargo customs declaration, etc.);
- compulsory motor vehicle insurance policy;
- a receipt confirming payment of the state duty;
- power of attorney certified by a notary (in the event that the registration of the car is not carried out by the owner himself, but by an authorized person).
If domestically produced freight transport has increased cross-country ability, the application will need to be marked by the regional military registration and enlistment office.
The list of documents for legal entities will be more voluminous. In particular, the following will be added to the list of required papers:
- a copy of the organization's charter;
- extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
- copy of TIN certificate;
- a copy of the certificate from the State Statistics Committee.
All listed copies must be notarized.
Cost of the procedure
Based on Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the state duty for registering a truck is 850 rubles. This amount includes:
- 350 rubles – making changes to the PTS;
- 500 rubles – registration of a vehicle registration certificate (VRC).
If the truck owner decides to change the license plates, he will have to pay an additional 2,000 rubles.
Important! When a car is registered by a legal entity, the state duty can only be paid by the organization. Receipts for payment from authorized representatives, employees of the enterprise or other individuals are not accepted.
Registration of a new car with the traffic police
Registering a new car has an important feature. When registering a car for the first time, you need to obtain license plates (state registration plates) for it. In this regard, the cost of the procedure increases by the cost of producing the numbers.
When re-registering a car for which license plates were previously issued, the registration plates can be retained. In this case, you do not need to pay for their issuance again.
Registration through State Services
Owners of cargo vehicles also have access to the vehicle registration service through the State Services portal. This opportunity is available to both individuals and legal entities. In order to use it, you need to scan all the required documents.
After this, the algorithm of actions should be as follows:
- log into your personal account on the State Services website;
- in the “Services” section, select “Vehicle registration”;
- fill out the required form and select the date and time for your visit to the traffic police;
- attach scanned documents to the application and send it for processing;
- on the appointed day, appear at the traffic police MREO and provide all documents in their original paper form.
When registering with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, a State Services user can save 30% of the cost of the state duty by paying by bank transfer.
Application for registration of a vehicle with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate
You can fill out an application for registering a car with the traffic police yourself or submit it electronically through the government services portal.
The features of registering a car through the government services portal are discussed in a separate article. Below we will consider the traditional option, which involves the use of a paper application.
If you want to fill out the application by hand, it is more convenient to use a pdf file. To fill out using a computer, use the form in doc format.
To simplify the procedure for filling out the application, I recommend using a sample.
The fields that the car owner must fill out independently are highlighted in blue. The sales transaction from this article is used as an example.
To fill out the application you will need the following documents:
- Passport of the car owner (passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation).
- Vehicle Passport (PVC).
All the necessary information is contained in them.
Note. The application indicates the details of the new owner of the car , i.e. buyer.
Reasons for refusal
Traffic police officers have the right to refuse to register a car owner. There are several legitimate reasons for this:
- The applicant provided an incomplete package of documents.
- The information in the documents about the car or its owner is incorrect.
- Suspicion arose of forgery of documents.
- Changes were made to the design of the vehicle that were not recorded in the documents (for example, when replacing the engine).
- There were signs of concealment or alteration of markings identifying the truck.
- The vehicle or the registration plates installed on it are stolen.
- The documents provided are entered into the traffic police database as stolen or lost.
- A restriction has been placed on the vehicle (for example, by a bank or bailiffs) prohibiting its registration.
- The PTS does not contain a mark on the recycling fee, which is mandatory for vehicle passports issued after September 1, 2012.
- The car was not insured and does not have a compulsory motor liability insurance policy.
- The owner did not pay the state duty.
Reference! In addition to all the reasons listed, registration may also be denied if the owner of the vehicle has unpaid traffic fines.
What to do if they refuse?
If a motorist is refused registration, he has the right to appeal this decision. To do this you need:
- require the refusal to be issued in writing with a mandatory indication of the reason;
- file a complaint with the traffic police to higher authorities, personally delivering an application with a request to review the decision;
- If the management of the traffic police does not satisfy the car owner’s complaint, the only option is to go to court.
You can apply to the court no later than three months from the day the owner of the vehicle received an official refusal to register.
What documents are needed to register a car?
To register a car with the traffic police, the following documents are required:
- Statement.
- Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. If the passport does not indicate the place of registration, then a document confirming registration at the place of stay is also required.
- Power of attorney if the owner’s representative contacts the traffic police.
- Vehicle passport - PTS.
- Vehicle registration certificate.
- Document certifying ownership (car purchase and sale agreement).
- Number plates (state registration plates) of the vehicle, if issued.
- MTPL insurance policy (the original policy is provided by the driver upon request, but insurance must be issued in any case).
The above list of documents is quite sufficient to register a car with the traffic police, but in some cases additional documents will be required:
- If a vehicle is registered by a citizen of a foreign state, then the foreign citizen’s passport can be used as an identification document.
- If the numbered units in the car (for example, the engine) have been replaced, then you must also provide documents for them.
- When changing the design of a vehicle, the traffic police must provide a certificate of safety of the design of the vehicle or a certificate of compliance of the vehicle with the changes made to its design with safety requirements.
- Various documents can be used to confirm ownership of a car: a gift agreement, a certificate of inheritance, a court decision, a copy of the protocol of the drawing commission (if the car was won in the lottery) and other similar documents.
More detailed information can be found in the following administrative regulations:
This normative act regulates all possible cases and all possible documents.
Can the procedure be declared invalid?
In some situations, the traffic police has the right to cancel the existing vehicle registration. In this case, the previous registration procedure is considered invalid and must be cancelled. There are several reasons for deregistration:
- errors made in documents during customs clearance of a vehicle;
- fake documents;
- loss of vehicle passport;
- mistakes made when registering a car;
- vehicle recycling.
What if it's cancelled?
If the truck's registration has been deregistered, the owner should:
- contact the traffic police and find out the reasons;
- wait for the official response from the traffic police;
- determine whether it is possible to eliminate the reason for cancellation;
- after correcting all the shortcomings, contact the traffic police again and try to restore the registration;
- If the traffic police refuses again, you will need to receive an official refusal in writing and go to court with this document.
Important! When canceling the registration, the owner of the truck must either provide evidence of the illegality of the traffic police’s actions, or correct these shortcomings and restore the vehicle’s registration.
Registering a car with the traffic police Registering a car with the traffic police
Good afternoon, dear reader.
In this article we will talk about registering a car with the traffic police . Registration (change of registration data) may be required in several cases.
Firstly, car registration is necessary when the owner of the car changes, i.e. after purchasing the vehicle.
Secondly, re-registration will be required if the owner’s personal data has changed (for example, last name or place of registration).
In this article you will learn:
Let's consider these issues in more detail.
Responsibility for violation of registration rules
If a truck driver does not register the vehicle within 10 days, then, according to Part 1 of Article 19.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, he will be punished with a fine, the amount of which is:
- 1500 – 2000 rubles – for individuals;
- 2000 – 3500 rubles – for officials;
- 5,000 – 10,000 rubles – for legal entities and organizations.
Also, a traffic police inspector who stops a truck that is not registered with the traffic police has the right to bring the driver to administrative responsibility. In particular, part 1 of article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for a fine in the amount of 500 to 800 rubles.
In case of repeated violation, the punishment will be much more severe:
- a fine of 5,000 rubles;
- deprivation of rights for a period of 1 to 3 months.
The procedure for registering a vehicle with the traffic police
The procedure for registering a car with the traffic police consists of the following steps:
- Submitting an application and documents.
- Inspection of the vehicle by a traffic police officer.
- Receiving documents and numbers.
Note. In 2021, when submitting documents through the government services portal, the driver has the right to first undergo an inspection of the vehicle, and only then submit the documents to the traffic police registration window. T. . Steps 1 and 2 can be swapped.
If you have prepared in advance all the documents necessary to change your registration data, then you have nothing to worry about.
Perhaps the only difficulty that may arise when registering a car is the large number of car enthusiasts doing the same thing. The queues at the traffic police can be quite impressive, but the procedure for changing registration data in any case takes one day.
I would like to note that some traffic police registration departments provide 24-hour registration. For example, MO STSI TNRER No. 4 of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow. So you can come to register your car at any time convenient for you.
After changing your registration data you will be given:
- car registration certificate;
- numbers (if necessary).
In addition, all your documents must be returned to you.
Documents to register KAMAZ
Violation of the law In fact, registering a truck with the traffic police is not so difficult if you follow all the procedures according to the rules. When it is not possible to provide your car for inspection, it is possible to present the inspector with a single inspection report. In another case, the car owner may receive a fine. In accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Article 19. 22 “Violation of the rules of state registration of vehicles of all types (except for shipping) mechanisms and installations if registration is mandatory - entails: the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles; for officials - from two thousand to three thousand five hundred rubles; for legal entities - from five thousand to ten thousand rubles.” The main thing is to make it clear to employers that you are exactly the specialist they need. And please note: obtaining the documents necessary for work may take up to 1 month.

Let's look at the process of registering a truck in more detail. The purchase and sale transaction has been completed and the contract has been signed. The buyer has 10 days to re-register the car in his name. During this period, the car owner can travel by car. Driving a car without compulsory motor insurance after this period is prohibited.
