Transit numbers a few years ago were something irreplaceable and necessary, but now the relevance and need for such license plates has dropped sharply. It is worth noting that in some cases such numbers are still necessary. In order to have an idea and know all the nuances of purchasing and installing transit signs, you need to understand what they are and in what cases they are used.
Transit numbers are signs that are issued by the traffic police when purchasing a car in another region or city. Most often, such license plates are used to move a car. Such signs can be of two types: paper and metal; which of them you want to install on your car depends only on your financial capabilities, because registering a vehicle registration document is a costly and lengthy process. There may also be a fine for expired vehicle registration documents if you are slow in registering your car in another city.
Important! Currently, transit numbers are issued only to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. Ordinary car owners (individuals) are not issued transit passes ; instead, after purchasing a car, they are allowed to drive without license plates at all for up to 10 days. Therefore, all information about transit numbers concerns only individual entrepreneurs and legal entities. persons
How much will you spend on obtaining transit numbers?
As mentioned above, registration of such license plates is very expensive. Only recently, issuing transit license plates cost about 1,000 rubles for a passenger car and 450-500 rubles for vehicles such as a truck, tractor, etc. At the moment, issuing short-term license plates has become more expensive, namely 1,600 rubles for cars and 800 rubles for trucks and special equipment . Even a traffic police officer cannot explain such a sharp increase in prices. The license plate itself should not be mounted on the inside of the windshield, as this may result in a fine or loss of license. It is better to use standard places to place numbers, so that in the event of an inspection, a traffic police officer can see and identify this number.
Transits
Transit numbers are temporary signs that are issued when a car is deregistered from state registration. During the period of their validity, the owner of the vehicle must decide how he will dispose of the vehicle in the future.
Visually, transit signs differ from regular ones in that they are painted yellow on the right side. Additionally, they can be made from the following materials:
- Papers.
- Plastic.
- Metal.
Why are they needed?
According to paragraph 33 of Order No. 1001 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, receipt of transit signs is expected in the following cases.
- If the previous owner of the vehicle does not want to part with his signs.
- For transportation of a vehicle by an individual entrepreneur or legal entity to the region where the showroom for sale or the enterprise for retrofitting the car is located.
- When taking a car abroad.
- If there is a need to dispose of this vehicle.
The occurrence of one of these grounds is a reason to deregister the vehicle and issue temporary transit signs.
Who issues?
The issuance of temporary signs is carried out in the registration department of the traffic police of any constituent entity of the Russian Federation. To register them, the owner must write the appropriate application and also provide state inspectors with:
- Vehicle registration document.
- Passport.
- Receipt for payment of state duty.
- PTS.
- Old numbers (for destruction).
From the editor: Checking a car by body number
Employees of the registration department do not have the right to demand other types of documentation.
Is it possible to extend?
According to Order No. 1001 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, driving on transit signs is permitted within 20 days from the date of their receipt. During this period of time, the owner of the vehicle must have time to move the vehicle to the place of sale, retrofitting, disposal, or take it outside Russia.
However, this does not mean that after the expiration of the 20-day period you cannot go on the road. Despite the fact that it is legally impossible to renew numbers, owners can use another scheme. Namely, cancel the previous signs and order new ones.
Price
According to Article No. 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a state duty is established for the issuance of temporary signs.
The amount of the contribution depends on the type of transport for which the license plates are intended, as well as the materials from which they are made:
- Paper – 200 rubles (regardless of the type of car).
- Plastic – 1000 rubles.
- Metal signs for special equipment and trailers – 800 rubles.
- Metal ones for regular transport – 1600 rubles.
As you can understand, temporary license plates are quite expensive. However, they are rarely required by many car enthusiasts.
Effect of transit numbers
The question of how long you can drive with transit license plates is asked by more than one car enthusiast who wants to drive a car from region to region. Those people who do not want to pay taxes on road repairs prefer to drive transit license plates almost forever. It is worth noting that no taxes can be withdrawn from a car that has a vehicle tax registration number. In fact, the registration of such license plates gives the owner of a driven car the opportunity to avoid paying taxes and liability on the roads.
Of course, this situation was corrected by legislation in 2013, when the law simply prohibited the issuance of transit; only in some (exceptional) cases can transit numbers be obtained. Thus, car owners will not be able to deceive the country and the treasury; it is precisely such actions that will help remove taxes from drivers for road repairs, etc. This is fair, because every driver has equal rights on the road.
As for the validity period of transit license plates, it is only 20 days . After 20 days, driving with expired transit license plates is very dangerous, as the owner may be fined.
Penalties for driving a car with lost or expired transit
- A car owner whose car has expired transit signs will pay a fine of 500 rubles. up to 900 rub. If the driver drives such a car, it is considered that he got behind the wheel of a car that is not registered according to the rules (Part 1 of Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
- If there is a repeated violation of this provision, the penalty will be significantly increased. The car owner will be given an alternative punishment (by decision of the traffic inspector):
- fine 5 thousand rubles;
- deprivation of the right to drive for a period of 2 to 5 months.
- Loss (loss) of a transit sign is also an offense. A fine is imposed - from 2.5 thousand rubles. up to 3 thousand rubles.
- Installing a transit license plate in front of the windshield is prohibited. Failure to comply with this rule will result in a fine (Part 2 of Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). Two provisions of the law are immediately violated:
firstly, a citizen drives a vehicle without license plates;
secondly, the license plate is installed in a place that is not legally intended for this purpose.
Punishment will follow:
- or 5 thousand rubles. fine;
- or deprivation of rights for a period of 1 to 3 months.
Is punishment always legal if transit is overdue?
Even expired transit plates continue to retain the status of official registration plates identifying the vehicle. The main thing is that they are in the right place.
The driver must understand that delays and driving without license plates are two different things. If a traffic inspector intends to fine the owner of a car with an overdue transit under the terms of Article 12.2 (Part 2), he is acting unlawfully. In this case, the imposition of a fine can be challenged. The stopped driver makes a note in the protocol that he does not agree with the imposition of a fine, because the license plates are present on the car, and in the proper place; no modifications were noted in them either.
It is also important to know that liability in the form of a fine is also applied for the absence of mudguards on a car.
Why and in what cases can I get a transit number?
It is worth noting that the registration and receipt of transit numbers have not changed fundamentally; for individual entrepreneurs and legal entities they have remained almost unchanged, only the period for obtaining temporary registration plates has increased to 10 days.
This change will increase the chances of registering a car in a new city without obtaining a TN. In another case, transit numbers are established when a car is sold, when the former owner keeps the license plates for himself, and transit license plates are made for the car that is being sold.
The driving period with such signs also does not exceed 10 days for entrepreneurs and legal entities. At the moment, transit license plates are not issued for individuals, and after purchasing a car you can drive without license plates at all for 10 days.
Transit numbers for the car. What are they needed for?
According to changes in legislation, transit license plates for cars now need to be obtained only by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who buy a car in another region or abroad - transit is installed on the car when it is transported to the city of permanent registration.
Such a number requires compliance with the procedure for obtaining from the traffic police and is attached to the mounting locations where regular car numbers are usually installed. Installation from inside the car on the windshield has recently been prohibited - you can get a fine for this.
Private car owners do not need this type of license plate, since the law allows you to drive with old license plates for up to 10 days after purchasing a car. This time is enough to have time to drive the car to any city or have time to register it. The 10-day period is counted from the date of purchase of the car, fixed in the purchase/sale agreement (before re-registering the car, try to always carry the agreement with you).
If the old owner of the car wanted to take the plates for himself in order to install them on his new car, you can drive the purchased vehicle without any plates at all for the same 10 days if you have a contract. But if the car needs to be taken abroad, and this will take more than 10 days, it is better to make temporary plates.
How much will you pay if you overstay your transit numbers?
In 2015, new fines for expired license plates were established by law. From now on, the minimum fine is 500 rubles, and the maximum is 900 . Moreover, if the violation of late signs is committed by the car owner again, the fine will be 5,000 rubles .
In addition, drivers who have committed an offense again will face deprivation of their license from 2 to 5 months. It is worth noting that paper transit numbers quickly wear out and tear, so if an inspector stops a car with such numbers, he will certainly issue a fine to the owner of the car.
That is why, when receiving license plates, it is recommended to place them in a file or laminate them, this will protect them from various factors that affect the condition of license plates.

Just in case, let me remind you that changes to the regulatory documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs relating to transit numbers were discussed in the article “Changes to documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 2011.
Part 3. Temporary registration of a car.
Editorial: How to use car sharing: in 2021
The corresponding resolution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was published on January 6 on the National Legal Internet Portal.
Illustration by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus Notes: 1.

The new registration plate is visually different from the old 2009 model.
What to do if you lose your transit numbers?
The problem is when you have lost your transit number and don’t know what to do. There are several ways to solve the problem with lost numbers. One way is to contact the traffic police service, where the owner will be provided with new signs, but the cost of such a service exceeds the initial registration of the TN. Most often, such a service costs from 2500 to 3000 rubles . There is another method that is not entirely legal, but its cost is much cheaper and the manufacturing process takes less time. There are companies that are ready to provide renewal of license plates; on average, the cost of such services will be about 1,700-2,000 rubles.
Installation required
Temporary license plates are used when deregistering a car. The use of transit numbers is necessary in the following situations:
- When transporting a vehicle outside the country. Next (upon registration) it will be necessary to replace such temporary numbers with permanent ones that will reflect the number of the region in which the owner of the car lives;
- Lack of desire to change old license plates that were present when the vehicle was put up for sale. That is, the subject sells the car, but keeps the license plates for himself, and transit numbers are assigned to the object of sale;
- Removal of the vehicle for further disposal;
- Transportation of a vehicle by a manufacturer, seller or individual entrepreneur to the place of direct sale or completion of assembly activities.
It is worth noting that currently the need to install transit numbers is becoming less and less common. This fact is due to the fact that when buying a car, the new owner may not remove the old license plates and, by law, he has the right to register within the next 10 days.
What does the law say?
Issues regarding registration of license plates are regulated by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 1001 of November 24, 2008 and No. 139 of June 10, 2017. According to these regulations, for a car (including a motorcycle), it is necessary to obtain special license plates in cases established by law. This procedure must be completed within 5 days.
Speaking about why it is necessary to say that they are issued for the purpose of driving the vehicle to the place of permanent registration.
When carrying out registration actions in the document confirming ownership, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs put down:
- A note on the issue of license plates for transit.
- Date of issue.
- Expiration date of signs.
- Signature and seal of an authorized employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Crossing a solid marking line when avoiding an obstacle
It is worth considering that there is liability for violating transit rules. According to Order No. 1001 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, as well as Article No. 19.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the vehicle owner will be fined in the prescribed amount for expired transit numbers.
Transit numbers - what are they, how long can you travel on transit?
According to the amended law, both ordinary citizens and individuals can perform registration actions at any registration unit of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate . As we understand, having bought a car in Perm, you can get, for example, Moscow license plates right on the spot.
Of course, the measure is twofold. On the one hand, the life of ordinary motorists is simplified. On the other hand, the fate of fans of fast cars, who used schemes with transit numbers to evade taxes and fines from the traffic police, is becoming more complicated. In particular, this primarily concerns owners of cheap but very powerful vehicles. That's it guys, cover the shop!
The TRANSIT registration plate will now be issued only in exceptional cases. Basically, “in transit” motorists will only be allowed to take their cars out of the country.
Also, the new Administrative Regulations for the implementation of the state service for vehicle registration, which comes into force on October 15, will include new standards for servicing citizens. Thus, the time for performing ordinary registration actions is legally reduced from 3 hours to one hour . And according to the law, waiting in line can now not exceed more than 15 minutes .
Another interesting detail. The new Administrative Regulations finally provide for the procedure for producing state registration plates (license plates) to replace lost (stolen) ones - now, if you have lost the number or it was simply stolen from you, you can easily make a duplicate , and not in the traffic police, but somewhere Anything like in Europe!
The new simplified rules for car registration were largely made possible thanks to the introduction of automatic means of monitoring compliance with the law on the roads.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for criminals to deceive “big brother,” while ordinary citizens are slowly beginning to free themselves from bureaucratic oppression and procedural delays.

How to avoid a fine?
To avoid liability for expired temporary signs, motorists can use one of 3 existing methods. Namely:
- Before the numbers expire, register new ones.
- Re-register the purchase and sale transaction.
- Wait until the statute of limitations expires. According to the Code of Administrative Offences, the culprit can be brought to justice within5 two months. Accordingly, if you register a vehicle after the end of this period, then the citizen will no longer be able to impose a fine or deprive of his rights under Art. 19.22 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
In a similar way, it is possible to circumvent transit legislation.
Private buyers should not worry about transit signs as they are not relevant to them. However, individual entrepreneurs and legal entities engaged in the relocation, sale or disposal of cars should take care of the timely registration of temporary license plates so as not to be held liable.
What is a transit number and why is it needed?
So, a transit number is a registration plate intended to designate a vehicle during the period of its movement to the place of registration (for deregistration of the car or for its sale, as well as for the purpose of transporting the car to another region for new registration).
If you need less than 5 days to transport the car, then you don’t have to receive transit registration numbers, because according to the law, its new owner has 5 days to complete the registration.
The end of an era without taxes and penalties
Many motorists knew that if a car was deregistered and given transit numbers, the driver would immediately receive many bonuses. Firstly, the transport tax ceased to be calculated completely. Secondly, fines for parking and dedicated parking also stopped coming. These two advantages were enough for a large number of car owners, who did not recognize the innovations of the Moscow authorities, to deregister their cars and not register them back, continuing to drive with expired transit license plates. This violation is punishable under Art. 12.1.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in the form of a fine from 300 to 800 rubles. The amount of 300-ruble fines accrued per year was obviously less, sometimes by several orders of magnitude, than the transport tax, not to mention fines from traffic cameras. And now this scheme comes to an end. The State Traffic Safety Inspectorate has posted on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a draft of a new administrative regulation for vehicle registration. This regulation contains a number of innovations that, in essence, abolish transit numbers and make the process of transferring ownership of a car “seamless”. This is probably due to the planned introduction of paid parking throughout the Boulevard Ring this summer, when Moscow Mayor Sobyanin’s employees will fine motorists en masse, cruelly and on a large scale. According to rumors, they plan to collect more than 14 billion rubles in fines from us this year. The abolition of transit is a very important part of this plan to take money from motorists in a relatively fair manner.
I tried to figure out the new scheme. It differs from the existing one in the following key points. Firstly, deregistration of a car for the purpose of sale is cancelled. This is the most important point. According to the new text of the regulations, it will be possible to deregister a car only in the following cases:
1.
Selling a car abroad (the title is confiscated forever);
2.
Disposal of the vehicle;
3.
Theft of a vehicle;
4.
Expiration of the temporary registration period;
5.
Statement from the previous owner upon presentation of the purchase and sale agreement, after 10 days from the date of sale, provided there is no confirmation of registration for the new owner;
6.
Court decision;
7.
Detection of signs of number interruption during inspection.
The new procedure for selling a car will look something like this: the owner enters into an agreement with the direct buyer in the manner prescribed by the Civil Code (for example, a simple written form) and transfers all documents for the car. All. No reference invoices, no “commissions” or other intermediaries. The agreement is in simple written form, the license plates of the old owner remain on the car - and the new owner drives the car to his home. The fun begins next. The fact is that the new owner is obliged to register the car within 10 days from the date of purchase and sale. If the new owner does not deign to register the car, then see point 5: the old owner can cancel the registration of the car in his name. After this, the documents and numbers are put on the wanted list! The very first traffic police post - and the new owner is forced to give the traffic cop all the documents for the car, the license plates are twisted, and he takes the car to the traffic police for forced registration on a tow truck.
This is done in order to automatically fine the real owner for parking and dedicated lanes. If the new owner evades the obligation to register the car, then he is put on the wanted list, caught and prohibited from using the car. The old owner is motivated to come to the traffic police and cancel the registration by presenting the purchase and sale agreement, since fines from cameras for violations of the new owner come to him. The license plates on the car are old. The only way to get rid of these fines is to write an application to terminate the registration of the car.
It is not entirely clear how trade-in, consignment stores and private resellers, for example, those who buy a car in one region and sell it in another, will now work. After all, only a direct buyer or a representative under a general power of attorney can register a car. Now only the insane will sell their car under a general power of attorney, taking into account the high probability of gigantic fines (in the case of a sale “by proxy” - practically undeniable). This will probably lead to the fact that records about the intermediary will be entered into the PTS, which will not suit all buyers. With the abolition of transit, a whole layer of business that has been in the making for many years will become a thing of the past and will be sacrificed to paid parking and dedicated lanes.
The temporary import scheme for cars with foreign license plates will continue to operate for now, but this is for the time being. It is quite likely, according to rumors, that cars with license plates of other countries, imported under the temporary import scheme, will continue to drive quietly on Russian roads for no longer than a year.
Those people who have already deregistered their car and drive plastic transits will most likely be able to ride them until these transits rot. And I’m very interested in what will replace transits? Maybe the era of dirty and unreadable numbers is coming?..

What to do if transit numbers are lost and where to turn
If it so happens that transit numbers have been lost, measures to restore them must be taken urgently. In this situation, there are two options for resolving the issue:
- contact the traffic police. Here you need to inform in writing about the loss of transit numbers and the need to obtain new license plates. The procedure is paid and costs more than the initial registration of temporary license plates. It will cost about 3,000 rubles;
- use the services of a company that deals with the renewal of transit numbers. This is not entirely legal, but such a solution will cost a little less. Here they will charge 2000-2500 rubles for the service.
The information learned will be useful to many. Even though today transit numbers are not received so often, they still continue to be used, and fines for violating the relevant rules have not disappeared. Therefore, it is advisable to once again review the main points that are important for this situation, remember that transit license plates must be treated very carefully, and exchange them for permanent license plates within 20 days. This will help you avoid fines and other troubles associated with violating the rules established by law.
If you still have any questions on the topic, you can seek the help of a qualified auto lawyer. The specialist will provide detailed advice, explain incomprehensible and controversial issues, and advise on how best to proceed in a given situation. He will also be able to tell whether overtaking on the right is allowed, and explain other controversial issues, if any. As for challenging fines for violating the rules for using transit numbers, challenging them in court in almost all cases is useless. You can achieve results if there are good reasons why the owner was unable to re-register the car on time. The relevance of going to court must be assessed individually, in consultation with a lawyer.

How long are transit numbers allowed to be used?
According to the “Rules for registration of motor vehicles and trailers with them in the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation,” as amended in 2021, “transit” type license plates are issued within the Russian Federation for 30 days. At the end of the specified period, a fine is imposed for overdue transits. The driver will also be fined for not having transit plates if they are lost or stolen.
It is worth noting that the monthly period for using transit numbers is the maximum at the moment. Until 2013, the driver was allocated 5 days to move a car, until 2021 - 20 days, excluding weekends and holidays, from 2019 - 30 days.
Features of receipt and validity period of transits
It is mandatory for a legal entity or individual entrepreneur to obtain transit numbers if necessary:
- transport the car to another region to complete it;
- transport the car for recycling;
- drive a vehicle abroad.
The procedure for issuing transits has not changed, so everything here happens in the previously established order. Such license plates are valid for 20 days. During this time, the vehicle owner must have time to resolve all issues and formalities and install permanent registration numbers.
Important! Transits are often printed on paper, and given this, they quickly become unusable. But, given that they will have to be used for up to 20 days, it is better to laminate the numbers or protect them in another way. If they are damaged, the traffic police inspector has the legal right to issue a fine.
There is no need to place transit license plates under the windshield, because this will also result in a fine due to violation of the rules for the location of license plates, which complicates vehicle identification.
