How to register a tractor without documents

bought a tractor without documents, how to restore documents

who has encountered this, please tell me where to start

What I know, I’ll help you
, describe how everything is in stock, the contract, the transfer certificate,
did you take it from an individual or a legal entity or stupidly at the reception
, are there numbers for the engine on the frame (it is duplicated on the frame on the gearbox, above the gearbox forks, above the cover) you know,
write everything in order

no act, no contract, no, I took the tractor, I just came, loaded it and drove away,
there is a number on the engine

In a word, stole

no act, no contract, no, I took the tractor, I just came, loaded it and drove away,
there is a number on the engine

And how are you going to restore the documents that, judging by the description, you stupidly stole it?

Moreover, any inspector from the State Technical Supervision Service will tell you how the guys haven’t caught you yet, they took you with this stuff, in general, make a purchase and sale agreement with the seller, he and the deed, too, you can get it at any branch of the State Technical Supervision Service, be sure to get from the seller an explanation of where he got the tractor and a receipt for money. And another important point: if you have the engine number of the frame, I previously wrote where to get it, try it with the inspector, maybe it was registered, then it’s better to ask the seller where he got it, they say in the explanatory note this is how it should be in order to find out its history. And if they won’t find it by the numbers, then you will have to do it according to the papers according to the number that you have owned it for at least 3 years and then go to court, it turns out that after this time has expired you come to the inspector and say that they say I want to register the tractor, they will resist, they say you you don’t need it with your junk, let him write a refusal; in any case, the inspector needs an inspection report and a refusal to issue the court. And do it this way: in the first option, when you punch in the number, it’s one tractor, and when you come through the court, another understood the idea, otherwise it turns out well like don’t put it then let’s go through the court, they say, 3 years have passed quickly in a week, people are not fools, then the inspectors will be misled, it’s better to ask someone from another city or region to call the number so that the inspector at your place of residence does not there were claims, but you can draw up documents for the court in any office where they deal with such things, by the way, if the cost is less than 50 tr, a magistrate will deal with it, it’s even better, you write that they say you’re an honest citizen, I want to pay taxes, I want to legalize the tractor and so on. judges love it. They will oblige the inspector to issue a new PSM for the tractor later

Registration of a tractor without documents

On the territory of the Russian Federation, not only cars, buses and other vehicles are subject to registration, but also tractors. But what to do when there are no documents for the tractor? You will have to spend time and effort, but you will still have to restore the documentation, otherwise any stop by the inspector will threaten the seizure of the vehicle and other unpleasant consequences.

Where to contact?

All questions related to the registration of self-propelled vehicles with an engine capacity of more than 50 cubic meters. cm and a maximum speed of up to 50 km/h, is handled by Gostekhnadzor. The vast majority of modern tractor equipment falls under these characteristics. In this regard, after purchase, the registration of the tractor must be carried out with this authority. You should also contact us here to resolve the issue of how to register a tractor without documents.

Document recovery

Before registering a tractor for which there are no documents, you need to find out at what stage the vehicle registration process is currently at. The algorithm for further actions will depend on this. The relevant information is provided by Gostekhnadzor employees.

If the tractor is not registered, then for a fee you should obtain a purchase certificate from Gostekhnadzor. Next, you need to file a lawsuit in court and seek recognition of you as the owner of this “technical wealth.” This is not an easy path, since you will have to prove that this is your property, and you did not steal the vehicle, and that there are no other owners of the vehicle. To do this, you will need to bring witnesses who could confirm your ownership of the equipment, etc. The longer the period of ownership of the car, the better.
If the equipment is registered (most often in some agricultural enterprise), then before you register the tractor in your name, you will have to go through an even longer and possibly longer journey (especially if the organization that owns the machine is located in another region of the country ). Your actions are as follows: you need to go to the institution that owns the tractor and negotiate with its boss on the spot. If the outcome of the case is positive, you will be issued a purchase and sale agreement, with which you can register the tractor without any problems. With a real DCP, registering your equipment will not be difficult. The main snag may arise if the head of an agricultural enterprise requires permission from the city administration to conduct a transaction for the sale of equipment. Obtaining it, of course, is very difficult, and also expensive.

These paths are very troublesome and costly, both morally and materially. It's much easier to take the path of least resistance. Namely: buy a ready-made set of license plates and plates, as well as documents for the vehicle of the corresponding model, make and year of manufacture.

Of course, this pleasure is not cheap - at the moment such a service costs 400-500 dollars. But after receiving such a kit, all you have to do is replace the existing numbers and/or plates on the units and frames of your vehicle as carefully as possible, in a “factory-like” manner.

Another variation of the above method is to buy “tractor junk”. The main condition and essence of this transaction is the availability of documents issued for unsuitable equipment. Otherwise, everything is the same - numbers and plates are efficiently “moved” to a functioning vehicle, which is registered without any difficulties.

Otherwise, registration of a tractor without documents occurs in accordance with the generally established procedure. How exactly will be discussed further.

Registration of tractors

The process of registering any type of self-propelled equipment consists of two main stages: providing documents and passing a technical inspection.

Submission of documents

To register equipment with Gostekhnadzor you must provide:

A certificate confirming ownership of the equipment. It can be:

court decision (if it was possible to achieve recognition of the right of ownership only as a result of a lawsuit);
PrEP;
certificate of inheritance;
documentary evidence of the donation;
certificate obtained from the customs service, etc.

Passport identifying the owner. If the interests of the owner are represented by an authorized person, a general power of attorney must be attached.
A corresponding application for registration of your “iron horse”.
Equipment passport.
Insurance policy (if available). According to current legislation, equipment capable of reaching speeds of over 20 km/h is subject to compulsory MTPL insurance.
If the vehicle is not new and has already been registered, then additionally the following must be submitted: a registration certificate, receipts for payment of transport tax, transit numbers (if they were issued).
Receipt of payment of the registration fee.
Vehicle technical inspection report. Issued by Gostekhnadzor employees after a visual inspection of the equipment.

If the car is registered by a legal entity, then the charter of the enterprise must be additionally submitted.

Corrections, blots and gross errors are not allowed in the listed documents. In the case of translation of documents into Russian, they must be certified by the organization that performed the translation.

Tractor inspection

A visual inspection of the vehicle is carried out by a technical expert on the territory of Gostekhnadzor or with a visit to the place specified by the owner of the equipment. During the inspection, the technical serviceability of the machine is checked, as well as identification marks - numbers, plates, etc. If the inspection inspector has no comments, he draws up a positive inspection report.

Before registering a vehicle, Gostekhnadzor employees check the equipment for the absence of restrictions on it, as well as full compliance of the submitted documents. If there are no complaints, the owner is issued a registration certificate and registration number.

That's all the information on how to restore documents for your tractor and register it. This is not so easy to do, but in the future the effort spent will be more than compensated for by a calm, confident ride. You can use the equipment for your own or commercial purposes without fear of traffic police officers.

How to register a tractor with Gostekhnadzor

Everything about registering tractors and self-propelled machines

Registration of a tractor, mini tractor, all-terrain vehicle, etc. special equipment raises a number of questions for the owner. The main one is – is it worth doing this at all? If you have to travel on public roads, then of course it’s worth it. Because a chance meeting with traffic police officers promises great moral and financial troubles. Of course, registering a tractor with Gostekhnadzor was not invented for protection from traffic police, but primarily to ensure the safe use of equipment. Answers to all popular questions about this registration can be found in this article.

What equipment is subject to mandatory registration?

According to the law, all vehicles with an engine capacity of more than 50 cubic centimeters are considered tractors and self-propelled vehicles equivalent to them, subject to state registration. If there is not an internal combustion engine, but an electric motor, then with a power of over 4 kW.

Trailers and semi-trailers for them also need to be registered with Gostekhnadzor. And ATVs, and snowmobiles, and all-terrain vehicles too - for them there is a special clause “the maximum design speed does not exceed 50 km/h.” Moreover: walk-behind tractors are also subject to this provision. Not all of them, of course, but only those that are used as a “self-propelled four-wheeled vehicle” (i.e. with a cart).

There is a special clause that vehicles intended for sale are not subject to mandatory registration - that is, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs selling this equipment do not have to register it with Gostekhnadzor.

What liability is provided for failure to register?

In accordance with the law, within 10 days from the date of purchase of the tractor, its owner is obliged to contact the Gostekhnadzor body closest to his place of registration with an application for state registration of the purchased equipment.

Driving a tractor or other self-propelled machine without registration, in accordance with Article 19.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, entails a fine of 1.5 to 2 thousand rubles per individual; from 2 to 4 thousand rubles per official; from 5 to 10 thousand rubles per legal entity. The amounts of fines may be indexed in accordance with inflation and changes in legislation.

But the traffic police inspector will definitely use the right to confiscate equipment if the person driving such a tractor or self-propelled machine does not have a tractor driver’s license of the appropriate category (“tractor license”). This is Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 5 to 15 thousand rubles.

Is it possible to find out whether the tractor being purchased is pledged by the bank or under arrest by bailiffs?

In the PSM - Passport of a self-propelled vehicle - entries are made not only about registration and deregistration, but also about the encumbrance (i.e. being in collateral) of this vehicle. If it is pledged, then it cannot be removed from the register and, accordingly, cannot be sold. Certificates of absence of seizure of equipment are issued only to its owners. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to ask the seller to take and present a recent certificate stating that she is not under arrest.

Is it possible to register a tractor under an exchange agreement; under a change of ownership agreement?

According to the exchange agreement - yes, provided that it is certified by a notary. But Gostekhnadzor does not carry out registration under a change of ownership agreement, not considering it a title document.

Is it possible to legalize replacing the engine of a tractor that is already registered with Gostekhnadzor?

Yes, but provided that there is a document confirming the legal ownership of this engine (purchase/sale agreement). You just need to write an application for changes to the PSM in connection with replacing the engine and pay the state fee. Changes will be made to the PSM, and a new certificate of registration of the tractor or self-propelled machine will be issued.

What is the action plan and list of documents for registering a tractor?

Find out whether a MTPL policy is required for the purchased type of tractor or self-propelled equipment. If yes, purchase this policy from an insurance company.
Collect documents for registering the tractor:

application (fill out according to the sample on the Gostekhnadzor website);
applicant's passport;
self-propelled vehicle passport;
purchase and sale or leasing agreement with all attachments;
receipts for payment of the tractor and state registration fees;
MTPL policy (if it is provided for this tractor);
power of attorney (if it is not the tractor owner himself who submits for registration, but his representative).

Depending on each specific situation, the place of the purchase/sale or leasing agreement in this list may be taken by another document of title, namely: an exchange agreement; a court decision on the transfer of ownership; certificate of inheritance; summary act, order, order, etc. (when equipment is purchased from a military unit) or any other document of title that does not contradict the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Gostekhnadzor sets a date for technical inspection, during which the technical condition of the tractor is checked and the numbers on its frame and engine correspond to the numbers in the PSM. The tractor must be located within the territory under the jurisdiction of this department of Gostekhnadzor.

According to the law, from the moment of submitting an application with all the above documents, Gostekhnadzor is obliged to register the tractor within 11 days, with the issuance of the corresponding document and license plate.

What is the procedure for deregistering a tractor?

There are three cases in which a tractor or self-propelled machine is deregistered. This means selling it to another owner, moving to another region, writing it off and then disposing of it. To deregister, you must provide the following to Gostekhnadzor:

Application in the prescribed form;
Passport of the vehicle owner;
Self-propelled vehicle passport;
Certificate of registration;
Receipts for payment of state duty and transport tax for the reporting period;
If write-off and disposal - then the write-off act and license plate.

In other cases, there is no need to hand over the license plate and replace it. If the tractor is sold to another region, then after deregistration, together with the PSM, to which changes have been made, a temporary transit license plate is issued for transporting the machine to another subject of the federation.

How to register a tractor without documents or “assembled in parts”?

It is impossible to officially register such a tractor and you cannot use it either. But there is still a lot of such equipment in the country, and it continues to work. For example, tractors that were inherited from collective and state farms that were wiped off the face of the earth. There are no documents for them; they have already been repaired many times on their own. But if you want, you can legalize such a technique. And there is no need to try to negotiate and promise a bribe to Gostekhnadzor.

This is done by filing a claim with the magistrate’s court at the place of residence for recognition of ownership rights by acquisitive prescription. This is the action plan.

Submit an application to Gostekhnadzor to register a tractor that has belonged to you for more than five years. To do this, you will need to attract two witnesses (not relatives) who will confirm this fact in writing. In the application, indicate the engine and chassis numbers of the tractor.
Gostekhnadzor checks these numbers in the database - that the tractor with the specified engine and chassis numbers is not registered and is not on the wanted list. The Gostekhnadzor inspector inspects the equipment to ensure that it is in serviceable, technically sound condition. You will be given a certificate “not included/not listed” and an inspection report.
The court is not interested in the inspection report, but the certificate, plus a certificate from witnesses that the equipment belongs to you, must be attached to the claim to the court. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer: you can draw up a claim yourself, using a model from the Internet.
Within a month, the court will consider the claim and issue a ruling allowing the tractor to be registered. It is possible that the judge will require an appraisal of the tractor, with the provision of a corresponding certificate from the appraiser, but this is in individual cases.
With the court decision (which comes into force 10 days after it is made), contact Gostekhnadzor, which, on its basis, will register the “rare” tractor and draw up all the necessary documents for it.

What are the results of registering a tractor with Gostekhnadzor?

After successfully completing the registration procedure, the owner of the tractor receives a state license plate, as well as a passport of the self-propelled vehicle with the corresponding entry on the registration action made; inspection certificate; certificate of registration.

What to do with equipment registered in another region?

It happens that equipment is imported for work from other constituent entities of the Russian Federation for a fairly long period of time. If it is imported for a period of more than two months, then with the written consent of the owner, the equipment is placed on temporary registration at the place of actual stay. PSM is not provided for the temporary registration procedure. It is necessary to provide Gostekhnadzor with an application from the owner, registration documents and a receipt for payment of the state duty. You can undergo a technical inspection in the region of your actual stay, and extend your temporary registration for a longer period.

How to obtain a duplicate of the registration certificate, state registration plate, or passport of a self-propelled vehicle?

In case of loss or irreparable damage to license plates, state registration certificates, or passports of self-propelled vehicles, they will be replaced with duplicates. In order to order a duplicate, you need to contact the local branch of Gostekhnadzor with the appropriate application and pay the state fee.

Sergey. , have you owned the tractor for a long time? Do you have documents confirming the purchase of spare parts? If you have owned a tractor for more than 5 years + 3 years of claim, then you can file a claim in court for recognition of ownership rights by acquisitive prescription.

Article 234 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Acquisitive prescription

1. A person - a citizen or a legal entity - who is not the owner of property, but who in good faith, openly and continuously owns either his own real estate for fifteen years or other property for five years, acquires the right of ownership of this property (acquisitive prescription).
The right of ownership to real estate and other property subject to state registration arises in the person who acquired this property by virtue of acquisitive prescription from the moment of such registration.

Good day. I am buying a tractor for which there are no documents. The previous owner bought it from an organization and was given a certificate stating that the tractor brand, engine number, etc. was on the balance sheet of the organization and was sold to such a citizen. The question is, what should I do now? I want to register it?

Documents for a tractor: how to register and remove them

Many tractor owners use their agricultural machines not only for working in the garden, but also for traveling on public roads. To do this, of course, the equipment must be registered immediately, otherwise problems may arise with the traffic police.

Before registering a tractor, its owner will need to collect all the necessary documents. They may vary depending on who exactly the agricultural machine will be registered to.

To register a tractor for an individual, you will need to collect the following list of documents:

a document that clearly confirms the identity of the owner of the tractor - in most cases, you will need a passport of a citizen of the country;
papers that confirm the existing ownership of the equipment;
in some cases, a compulsory motor liability insurance policy will be required;
the passport that the manufacturer issues for the equipment upon the first sale of self-propelled vehicles;
statement; pre-filled according to the sample;
receipts that confirm payment of state duty;
transit number, if available;
if you are purchasing a used unit, you will need to provide proof of payment of a special transport tax for the latest reporting period;
registration certificate – required if the tractor has not previously been deregistered;
a certificate of completed technical inspection, which is drawn up personally by the inspecting state inspector;

If an agricultural machine is registered by a legal entity, then for the procedure you will need to prepare:

documents that will become the basis for the activities of the enterprise;
documents confirming that the company is registered with the local tax service.

It is extremely important that in both the first and second cases, all documents provided are filled out in the national language of the country, and all words in them are written without errors. Each correction will need to be certified separately.

All documents necessary for registration of a tractor, except for a passport, power of attorney and documents on the activities of the enterprise, are drawn up at Gostekhnadzor. When preparing documents, you must indicate the purpose for obtaining them, as well as pay all the necessary government fees.

How to restore documents for a tractor?

There are often cases in which a person buys an inexpensive used tractor, but without documents for it. In such situations, the equipment also needs to be registered, but this cannot be done without the necessary papers.

To register the unit, the first thing you need to do is contact the nearest branch of Gostekhnadzor. It must indicate the reason confirming the need to obtain documents, after which government agency employees are required to issue acts for completion. This includes the deed of purchase and sale and other papers required for registration.

Next, with certified documents, you need to go to court, where after consideration, the plaintiff will be issued documents confirming his legal ownership of the tractor. With the received documents, you need to contact Gostekhnadzor again, where all other documents that will be required to register the tractor will be issued.

How to register a tractor - procedure for completing the procedure

Registration of an existing tractor must be carried out strictly according to the procedure specified in the Legislation.

To register an agricultural machine, its owner should proceed in the following order:

Immediately after purchasing an agricultural machine, you must contact an employee of the insurance company and obtain a compulsory motor liability insurance policy, if necessary;
After this, you need to obtain all the documents listed above and contact representatives of the registration department;
Then, using the provided sample, you need to fill out an application from the tractor owner;
Next, you will need to undergo a technical inspection of the tractor - it must be completed and confirmed by a civil service employee;
After this, all available documents must be submitted to perform further registration actions;
During the registration process, Gostekhnadzor employees carefully check the papers they receive and determine whether there are any restrictions on driving the unit. If, upon receipt by a Gostechnadzor employee, any document is missing, or an inaccuracy was found in one of them, the civil service employee has every right to refuse to accept the papers;
In accordance with the Legislation, you can submit the collected documents for registration not only in person, but also through the service portal on the Internet.

All these tractor registration rules are necessary, first of all, in order to satisfy the request of the higher registration authorities. Without their permission, the local Gostekhnadzor service will not receive confirmation to provide registration data to the owner of the agricultural machine.

How to transfer a tractor to another owner?

When selling a tractor, it must be re-registered to another owner. There are 3 options for this. The first of them is to obtain a drafted and notarized deed of purchase and sale of equipment.

In the second case, the tractor can be re-registered by issuing a special certificate-invoice, which can be obtained at a salon or commission site - in this case, both the salon and the site must have permission to issue such a certificate. The actual process of re-registration of the tractor must be completed at that time; when the tractor is deregistered and a buyer has already been found for it.

To complete the procedure, the following documents are required:

certificate-invoice;
certificate of completed technical inspection;
certificate of acceptance and transfer of equipment;
tractor registration certificate;
tripartite purchase and sale agreement.

The third method of re-registration is suitable for cases where both the seller and the buyer of the tractor are legal entities. At the same time, during the preparation of the act of purchase and sale of the tractor, the seals of both enterprises and the signatures of their representatives must be affixed in the relevant columns of the document.

Do I need to deregister a tractor when selling it?

In accordance with the existing regulations, the tractor owner is obliged to deregister the agricultural machine in the following cases:

when the owner changes his permanent place of permanent residence;
upon termination of the current ownership of the tractor - in case of alienation under a notarized purchase and sale agreement, or leasing;
when writing off agricultural equipment for its subsequent disposal:
when exporting the tractor outside the country of residence - this does not include cases in which the tractor is temporarily exported outside the country.

According to the second point from the list, both a factory-made and a home-made tractor must be deregistered before its further sale to the buyer.

How to deregister a tractor - sequence of actions

In order to deregister a tractor, its owner will need to provide the following list of documents to the local government registration authorities:

personal passport of the owner of the unit or the passport of his authorized representative;
tractor passport - it must have a special mark;
license plate received by the tractor owner when registering the unit;
certified certificate of previous registration;
a receipt indicating that the owner of the tractor has paid the state duty;
If documents are provided for further disposal of the tractor, then along with them you will also need to submit an act of preliminary write-off of agricultural machinery.

From the moment the complete package of documents is submitted, Gostekhnadzor employees review the correctness of filling out the papers, after which the owner of the tractor is issued a certificate of deregistration of the agricultural machine.
