Truck Frame Replacement 2021

What is the body of a car according to the law?

Let's start by understanding what a car body is. Formally, in Russia this is a numbered unit. And this means that a designation number is applied to it, identifying the entire vehicle. And according to the law, if the traffic police fails to identify the car (the actual number on the unit will not match the documents), then registration of such a car will be legally denied.

But everything is not so sad - a new body can be officially issued, and any car enthusiast has the right to replace it. True, for this you need to comply with a number of conditions and formalities, as well as collect the necessary documents, including for a new “body”.

Registration of body replacement

All motorists can perform simple body work themselves. However, it is prohibited to completely replace this element without informing the State Traffic Inspectorate about this fact. If the driver violates this rule, he will be issued fines, and the car, until the circumstances are clarified, will be taken to the penalty area. So you shouldn't take that risk.

All this is strictly controlled, because each body has its own personal number. So information about the replacement must be indicated in the documents for the car. Registration of a replacement car body with the traffic police initially involves obtaining new documents for the vehicle.

Before visiting the traffic police, the motorist must collect the following documents:

Purchase and sale document for the body;
Transit numbers (if any);
Vehicle registration certificate;
Car numbers;
PTS;
Car owner's passport;
A document indicating all changes to the body;
A statement detailing the reason for the replacement.

The owner of the vehicle submits all this documentation to the traffic police department at his place of registration.

Body replacement stages:

Purchase of a unit. You can buy it from a private individual or from a manufacturer. If the purchase is made from a private person, then you will need to check that the owner of the car is not on the wanted list, and that it has not been recorded as stolen.
Repair. The company that replaces the part must show a certificate of completion of the work upon completion of the replacement work.
In the next stage, all the previously listed documents and applications are submitted to the traffic police.
A state fee must be paid for a new registration certificate.
After this, the car is sent to a special site, where an inspector inspects it.
If everything is in order during the inspection, then registration follows.
Issuance of documents by the owner.

How can you not arrange a replacement in 2021?

Let's start with the law that regulates the replacement procedure. Almost the only legal act that prescribes the registration procedure (others have little practical relevance to our issue) is the brand new Order No. 399, which came into force quite recently. It is he who regulates not only the procedure for registering replaced car components, but also what is prohibited from being registered.

So, for 2021 the following restrictions apply:

You cannot replace it with a new body if it is listed as wanted by the traffic police (stolen, the car with it was deregistered by the traffic police due to loss),
if you do not have documents for a new component (clause 17 of the Order),
According to the law, you can supply the body from a scrapped car, but in practice in 99% of cases it is impossible - you will receive a refusal, because even the entire car, completely complete, is quite difficult to restore after disposal,
you will not register a car with a replaced body if it was removed from a car for which a recycling fee was not made (clause 3 of the Order), but you can register it if it was released before September 2012,
if you have already changed the “body” to a new one, then with a high degree of probability you will be denied registration on the basis of paragraph 3 of Order No. 399 due to inappropriate numbers of license units, which include the one we are discussing, we will discuss this issue in more detail below,
if the body number is not readable - in this case, the chances of making changes to the registration data of the State Traffic Inspectorate are approximately 50/50 - you will be sent for examination with an unreadable unit number, and whether the examination will establish the number will be known only after it is carried out,
if there are signs of counterfeiting (overcooking, changing the numbers/letters of the VIN number) of designations.

Required documents

To complete a body replacement, the driver must collect the following list of documents:

To obtain prior approval:

application for changes to the design of the vehicle;
vehicle passport;
certificate of vehicle registration;
passport.

To obtain a SKTS certificate:

application for a certificate;
vehicle passport;
certificate of vehicle registration;
passport;
documents for the body (customs declaration for the import of spare parts from abroad, invoice for purchase, certificate from the traffic police about the use of the body of a previously disposed vehicle);
application declaration of operations performed (drawed up by the car service center that performed the work, in the form approved by Letter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 13 of 2015);
diagnostic card indicating that the state technical inspection has been completed;
receipt of payment of state duty of 800 rubles

To register a car with MREO:

application for re-registration;
vehicle passport;
certificate of vehicle registration;
passport;
SKTS certificate;
MTPL policy (not necessary to provide, but the car must be insured);
receipt of payment of state duty of 350 rubles.

How is it possible?

In fact, there are 2 options for re-registration of such a replacement in the traffic police, depending on the condition of the component. These options lie in 2 postulates of the legality of this procedure for 2021:

It is generally possible to change the body to another - it is not prohibited by law,
but if you bought it used from another car, then there will be no documents for it, since they have not issued papers for a released license plate for a long time, and you cannot have others.

Ultimately, we get 2 scenarios and, accordingly, replacement instructions, depending on your specific situation:

if the “body” was bought new, then you can register it with the traffic police in the traditional sense - register it as a replacement body,
if you purchased this component in a used condition, then it will be much easier to arrange for a replacement body as the purchase of the entire car (that is, the body = car, and you simply transfer all the parts and components from the old car to it).

Registration of a body replacement as a replacement of the entire car as an official legitimation of this procedure is only suitable if the identification numbers (VIN) are applied only to the body surface location. That is, this cannot be done with frame SUVs and trucks, where only the cabin is changed. In addition, there must be no change in the design of the vehicle.

What is a design change? This is the installation of components that were not installed stock on this car model. For example, the most obvious one is the engine. It must match the model and characteristics of what was installed on your new body. We discussed this issue in more detail in the article about changing the engine. Let us emphasize in the context of our question that the new body must be exactly identical to the one being replaced - so that this very design does not change.

Also, in the second case, documents for the body will not be required to obtain the right to replace it.

But if you bought the “body” of the car new, then according to the documents it should be listed as a new license plate unit (that is, we are not talking about buying a new car, but rather a replacement component).

Stage 1. Preliminary examination

Sales and purchase agreement (or other document on the basis of which the ownership of the vehicle arose).

Filling out the work manufacturer's declaration is voluntary. If changes are made to the design by the owner himself or by the service (individual entrepreneur or LLC), the declaration is filled out and signed by the owner of the vehicle or the service, respectively.

Administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the provision of public services for issuing permission to make changes to the design of a wheeled vehicle in operation (stage 1). Plus it is forbidden to change the design. This means that you cannot install components on your machine that were not included in your machine from the factory. The same motor must have the same model and characteristics. Roughly speaking, the donor body is taken from exactly the same car as yours.

How do I formalize a replacement?

So, here are a few instructions depending on each of the situations described above.

If the body is used

In this case, officially registering a replacement is similar to buying a used car:

you transfer everything from the car whose body is being replaced to a new one,
Next, you need to register this car in the same way as when buying a used car: replace the registration certificate, make changes to the title (of the old car).

An old body with old spare parts and components can be scrapped and written off for recycling or deregistered with the traffic police on the basis of loss.

Full instructions for registering changes in connection with a change in the owner of a car are here (namely, this is the procedure we carry out when replacing the main unit of a car). If you need to save license plates from an old car (with an old body), then the instructions are here.

If the body is new

New bodies in Russia can only be purchased for domestic cars. For foreign cars you will not find such new components on sale almost anywhere. But foreign manufacturers almost always, at the request of dealer centers in our country, provide plates with the necessary data.

In this case, the traffic police has no formal reasons for refusing to replace the body. But in practice, nuances are possible - the fact is that MREO traffic police inspectors are afraid to carry out rare and important procedures, and therefore it is easier for them to refuse to issue a replacement than to take responsibility. In this case, the requirement of a written refusal for video recording will help (it is not prohibited to film employees) - as a rule, this is where everything ends successfully for the applicant.

When purchasing a new body, in all cases there are documents for it. Under no circumstances should they be lost - registration of a replacement body with the State Traffic Inspectorate in 2021 is carried out strictly on the basis of documents for a new one (clause 17 of Order 399). You need to contact the traffic police with them, but even before replacing...

Because what awaits you next is a simplified, but rather expensive vehicle certification. The simplicity of the scheme lies in the fact that tests and examinations are not required, since the body is “native” and has already passed all the tests as part of your car model. But, nevertheless, the procedure is costly in terms of finances and time.

First, you need to obtain permission from the traffic police to replace the body - this is a formality and they do not have the right to refuse you, since the law of 2021 does not prohibit this.
Then you need to appear for a traffic police inspection with documents: STS, application for changes (written by hand addressed to the head of the MREO), PTS and the passport of the owner of the car.
Next, you need to replace the body with a new one - the car service must have a certificate of conformity for this type of work, otherwise they will refuse to officially register the changes. Also, do not forget to take documents from the service station: a certificate of completion of work and other documents that will be given to you.
The last step is to submit an application to the traffic police to make changes.

Why may registration of changes be refused?

All possible reasons for refusal to register a vehicle are listed in paragraph 3 of Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001 and paragraph 24 of Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605, among them:

Inconsistency of the documents provided;
Use of spare parts imported from abroad and not certified;
Making changes to the design of a vehicle (replacing license plate units) without the consent of traffic police officers and (or) outside the procedure established by the traffic police;
Detection of the fact of falsification (concealment, unauthorized replacement) of the vehicle VIN code;
Failure to pay state duty;
Invalidity of the vehicle passport;
Use of a vehicle body that was previously written off for disposal, for which no fee was collected from the responsible person.

I have already changed the body - can I register it with the traffic police after the fact?

But it is impossible to legalize a car body that has already been replaced, as we mentioned above. Although it would seem that there are no legal grounds for refusal here, the VIN number is actually verified during the inspection. It is applied to the body and will not match the documents, and this is already a reason for legal refusal.

In addition, you did not receive prior permission to make changes to the design, and this contradicts paragraph 7.18 of the Basic Provisions of the Traffic Regulations.

However, in rare cases, it is possible to arrange such a replacement, although only through the court. But even an insignificant chance of this is possible only under 2 conditions:

you still have an old body with no signs of destruction or change in VIN number,
There are witnesses and documents for the replacement work performed.

What you need to know about the body

According to the law, the body is one of the numbered units (NA), that is, the vehicle unit on which the main marking is stamped. It is not a spare part that can be replaced with an analogue approved by the manufacturer. Replacing such a unit with a similar one is always accompanied by a re-registration process and making appropriate changes to the vehicle documentation. The main marking is a VIN code containing the main information about the car - manufacturer, year of manufacture, color, equipment, serial number of the car, etc.

That is why the replacement of the body, and accordingly the vehicle data, must be taken into account in the traffic police. Otherwise, the very first check of this code by an inspector will show that you are driving someone else’s vehicle, since the car has one number, but its registration certificate and passport have a different one. And this may entail not only a ban on operation, but also the onset of more serious liability.

The procedure for registering a frame replacement at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate: features and possible problems

And if previously the body could be replaced without problems, now the situation has become much more complicated. Replacing the body is considered to be an intervention in the structure of the vehicle. Thus, the main provisions for registering changes in the design of a vehicle can be found in Chapter 4 of the technical regulations of the Customs Union. According to the paragraphs of this bill, the owner of a vehicle to replace the car body must:.

After this, the car itself is presented to the observation deck for inspection. Next, you need to pay the state fee in rubles for making changes to the PTS and rubles for issuing a new STS and submit all the above documents, along with your personal passport, to the vehicle registration window. It is not necessary to submit a valid MTPL policy along with all documents, but an MREO employee will check this information through the electronic system.

Article But sanctions cannot be applied if no more than 10 days have passed since the receipt of the STC. Otherwise, the vehicle may be deregistered. Also, a discrepancy between the actual VIN number of the vehicle and the one indicated in the documents is the basis for conducting a forensic examination. After a year, the situation with replacing the body became much more complicated. If previously the driver registered a replacement simply after the fact, now he needs to agree on the replacement before it is carried out.

If he does not do this, the registration of the body can only be carried out by a court decision. If the court turns out to be on the side of the traffic police, the car owner will have only 2 options: return to the beginning, removing the new body and installing the old one to coordinate all actions with the traffic police, or sell the car for spare parts.

How to apply for a body replacement

A few years ago, a car owner could simply bring an expert opinion and a receipt to the traffic police department, indicating a legal replacement of the car body, and demand that the necessary notes be included in the vehicle’s registration certificate.

In mid-October 2013, automobile legislation changed a lot, and now, in order to officially register a new car body, the driver will need to collect a large package of documents and, let’s say right away, be ready to file a lawsuit against the Inspectorate.

To officially register a new car body, you must submit an application to the traffic police to replace the body

Required documents

To legally register a new body, you will need to assemble a set of the following documents :

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
application for registration of body replacement;
information about car license plates;
an agreement confirming your legal right to own a vehicle;
vehicle registration certificate, its registration certificate and other technical documentation;
certificate of the current VIN code of the car body;
customs certificate or certificate of conformity for a new part;
a list of changes made to the design of the car.

It will also be necessary to pay a duty on the new body , the amount of which is calculated in accordance with the cost of the new part. It is not necessary to present your compulsory motor liability insurance policy when contacting the traffic police: inspectors will check its availability in the database on their own.

Registration sequence

After submitting the documents, you just have to wait until the traffic police officers:

will check the correctness and authenticity of the documents provided;
will inspect the vehicle and record all changes to the body;
will transfer the received data to the traffic police.

Next, the car owner will receive either permission to register the new body or a refusal. If the repair is approved, all that remains is to wait for the new technical marks and documents to be uploaded to the electronic databases.
