How to properly register a car after purchase

Rules for registering a car with the traffic police

Registration of a car with the traffic police is a procedure that every new owner of a vehicle must undergo. In order to register a car quickly and without problems after purchase, the owner of the vehicle must know the necessary procedure and the list of papers that will need to be presented to the state traffic inspectorate. "Autocode" will tell you how to properly register a used car.

Where to register a car

There are 2 ways to register a used car:

• at the State Road Safety Inspectorate;
• using the State Services Internet portal.

Today we will take a closer look at the first option. Read about how to register a car using the State Services portal in our special material.

What is needed to register a car

The rules for registering a used car require the car owner, before visiting the traffic police, to complete a package of necessary documents, consisting of:

• Russian passport;
• PTS;
• a document with which you can certify ownership of the car (sale and purchase agreement (SPA), power of attorney or certificate of inheritance);
• a receipt confirming payment of the state duty in the amount of 1,500 rubles. (for more information about the state duty, see the special material);
• MTPL policy (you must first enter information about the owner of the car into it);
• applications for vehicle registration with the personal signature of the vehicle owner (read how to fill out an application for vehicle registration with the traffic police in a separate article).

Please be extremely careful when filling out the application form - a document with corrections and additions will not be accepted. An application completed in pencil is also considered invalid.

If a used car was purchased abroad, you will additionally need to provide transit numbers.

Registering a used car: procedure

When all the necessary papers have been collected, we head to the nearest traffic police department. The exact address can be obtained on the Internet - on the official portal of the State Traffic Inspectorate.

We are not too lazy to wash the car first - otherwise there is a risk that the traffic police will not allow the car to be inspected for technical condition.

It is important to know that the buyer has the right to register the car directly at the place of purchase, regardless of his place of residence. For example, if the buyer lives in St. Petersburg, and a suitable used car was found in Samara, it can be registered there, but the vehicle will be assigned to your address in the Northern capital.

The procedure for registering a car consists of several stages.

1. Submission of documents

If all the papers are in order, no difficulties should arise here. A traffic police officer will review the documents and send you for a technical condition inspection.

2. Machine inspection

The procedure is carried out in a specially designated area. In this case, the compliance of the power unit number and chassis number with the data specified in the vehicle passport is verified. If the numbers do not correspond to the data from the PTS or for some reason the reconciliation cannot be carried out (numbers are illegible, erased, etc.), a forensic examination is assigned.

Also, the reason that a used car will not pass inspection at the traffic police may be the presence of significant changes in the design of the car (excessive tuning), tinted windows or lighting fixtures.

The rules for registering a car provide that the owner cannot make changes to the design of the car that could significantly affect its technical characteristics. Including:

• change the number and location of seats, as well as fuel tanks;
• re-equip the chassis;
• install power units whose power and weight differ from the parameters provided by the manufacturer;
• make adjustments to the dimensions and weight of the vehicle;
• install larger capacity fuel tanks;
• make changes to lighting equipment;
• install rims of larger or smaller diameter, etc.

If the previous owner made such changes to the design of the car without the appropriate approval from the traffic police, it will not be possible to register the car. That is why it is important to check the technical condition of the car at a trusted service center before purchasing.

If the state traffic inspector has not identified any violations, we move on to the final stage of registration.

3. Obtaining a state certificate. registration

To do this, we submit a technical condition inspection report to the appropriate window of the territorial traffic police department and in 10-15 minutes we become the proud owners of:

• certificates of state vehicle registration;
• state numbers.

Don’t be lazy and check the papers given to you for errors or typos (this happens).

What are the dangers of driving a car that is not registered with the traffic police?

From the moment the contract is concluded, the law allows 10 days for the newly registered owner to register the vehicle. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a number of troubles. Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for a fine in the amount of 500 to 800 rubles for operating a car that does not have state registration plates. Repeated violation of the law will result in a more severe punishment - the negligent car owner will have to pay 5 thousand rubles. or lose the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 1-3 months.

Please note that you will not be able to register a car that has been scrapped, is under arrest or is wanted. To avoid problems even at the stage of completing a transaction to purchase a used car, we recommend checking its history using the Autocode service.

Registration of a car under a sales contract with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate

Well, we can congratulate you on buying a car, no matter whether it’s new or used. After all, you now have a faithful four-wheeled friend with whom you need to legalize your relationship, or in other words, register the car with the traffic police.

We will not describe how much trouble a newly acquired car used to cause to the new owner after purchase, because we have relatively recently passed this time, and since October 2013, the procedure for registering a car has been significantly simplified, and any average person can do it, and in a fairly short time period.

Registering a car under a purchase and sale agreement.

Vehicle registration must be completed within 10 days from the date of purchase of the vehicle, otherwise you may receive a fine or lose your license. During these ten days, you can absolutely safely drive your new car, without fear of attacks from traffic police inspectors. These ten days also affect the MTPL policy. After all, traffic regulations state that driving a vehicle without insurance is prohibited, but at the same time, the law “On Compulsory Motor Vehicle Liability” states that from the moment of purchasing a car, the new owner must take out an MTPL policy within ten days. Therefore, you can drive without insurance for ten days before registering the car.

How to register a car with the traffic police using the DCP.

First of all, before visiting the traffic police, you need to undergo a technical inspection, and after that, issue an MTPL policy for the purchased vehicle, where the owner must indicate the new owner. That is, even if the former owner of the car kindly provided you with insurance with an unexpired “expiration date,” you need to make changes to the insurance policy, changing the old owner to a new one. Otherwise, your trip to the REO to register your car will end just like that, starting at the document submission window.

If you buy a new car, or buy it without a policy, you need to take out new insurance before going to the traffic police department in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement, where the owner will indicate the person (individual or legal entity) indicated in the policy as the buyer.

The next step is to prepare the necessary documents for registering the car under the purchase and sale agreement.

So, the allotted 10 days for registering a vehicle are coming to an end, and there are only a few days left before going to the traffic police department, which means that it’s time for you to prepare the following documents:

• The application for registration must be in a strictly prescribed form and filled out correctly; you can download it and see a sample of filling it out on our website.
• Car purchase and sale agreement
• Passport or other identification document of the applicant.
• PTS (vehicle passport), a very important point to note is the presence of the signature of the previous owner of the vehicle; if it is absent, you will be denied registration of the vehicle
• The OSAGO (insurance) policy, as we wrote above, must indicate the new owner of the car
• Paid state duty receipts
• Power of attorney (if the car will be registered by an authorized person)

Having written an application and prepared all the documents listed above, an individual (new owner) can safely go to the registration authorities of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate to register the car under a sales contract. It should be noted here that from now on you can contact any REO branch located on the territory of the Russian Federation with this question (previously this could only be done at your place of registration). But no matter where you go, the car will be registered at the address that appears in your passport on the registration address page.

Submission of documents and inspection of the vehicle

After you heroically stood in line and submitted a set of documents to an employee of the registration authorities, he checks them, and after that sets a time and place for inspecting the vehicle, where you should go. It wouldn’t hurt if you wiped all the identification plates on your car so that you don’t hastily look for a cloth for this, and in the end, not finding it, spit on your palm and wipe the dirty plates.

Completion of registration actions for registering a car under a purchase and sale agreement

After inspecting the car, you need to return to where you applied to register the car (see sample form) and wait for the documents reissued in your name confirming your ownership of the car, and if you purchased a vehicle without license plates, obtain license plates.

How is a car registered with the traffic police?

Among all the legal procedures related to cars, the greatest number of questions raises the registration of a car. The reason is that domestic legislation on this issue has been changed several times, which has caused confusion even among experienced motorists.

In this article we will try to carefully consider the procedure for registering a car with the traffic police, the possibility of registering a car in another region, as well as issuing registration numbers directly at the car dealership.

General information

Registration with the traffic police is a mandatory procedure for every car owner. As Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses states, driving a car without registration numbers entails a fine of 5,000 rubles. Moreover, this is far from the most serious punishment, because the article also provides for deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of one to three months. For the owner of a brand new car from a car dealership, this is not the most pleasant moment.

Registration of a new car does not in any way affect the civil rights to own a vehicle; it only legally links the car with a certain legal entity or individual. Today, legislation allows the registration of a car both at the place of permanent residence of the owner and in another region.

The procedure for registering a vehicle: sequence of actions

Let's consider the most popular situation: the need to register a car by an individual who has purchased a new or used car. We will not touch upon the specifics of registration by legal entities; there are differences there.

Required documents

To contact the territorial traffic police authorities, you need to prepare the following documents in advance:

• The vehicle passport is an A4 format folded in half with pink, yellow and blue markings. This is a very important document, on one side of which is information about the vehicle (year of manufacture, make and model, VIN number, chassis and engine numbers), and on the other side - information about its owners. If you purchased a car at a car dealership, then the car dealer or an individual representing his interests must be entered in the “owner” column. If the car is used and purchased on the secondary market, the number of entries can be any. In the title of a car independently imported by the owner from abroad, the owner column should be empty;
• A document confirming the right to own a car. Its role may be a formalized certificate of inheritance, a power of attorney, a certificate-invoice from a dealership or a sales contract (when buying a car from an individual);
• Russian citizen passport;
• OSAGO insurance policy , which already contains information about the owner of the car. Remember that the registration number of the car is entered by the owner himself;
• A correctly completed and personally signed application on a special form.
• If you register a used car imported into the country, you must provide transit numbers.

Before contacting the territorial traffic police department, you must pay a state fee. Most departments are equipped with terminals to carry out such operations. The cost of registration is 1,500 rubles.

Three hundred rubles will have to be paid extra for the state registration certificate (any changes to it cost 200 rubles).

After paying the fee and collecting all the documents, you can contact the territorial traffic police department. If you need to find out where to register your car, go to the official website of the State Automobile Inspectorate. On the same site you can perform another useful operation - online registration.

Many fear that the registration procedure at the traffic police will drag on for many hours due to queues. There is no need to worry, because process automation has not bypassed the State Traffic Inspectorate, and the entire process should not take more than one hour (this is an established standard). To reduce time, you can use the online application or call in advance.

After the traffic police officer accepts your application and checks the availability of the necessary documents, you will be directed to the observation deck to compare the numbers on the engine and chassis with the information specified in the PTS. If you cannot deliver the car to the observation deck yourself, provide a technical inspection report. Don't forget that this document is only valid for twenty days. The presence of the act will save you from the need to reconcile numbers.

Particular attention is paid to used cars. If the previous owner made any changes (for example, changed the engine), then he had to register them accordingly. Frequent failures after inspection occur due to the presence of tinting on lighting fixtures and glass. Difficulties will arise for owners of overly tuned cars and models whose condition is recognized as post-accident.

If the actual data from the car does not coincide with the information from the PTS, the number on the body or engine is not readable, then the inspector has the right to order a forensic examination . In a favorable case, he issues an inspection report, which must be submitted to the appropriate window. The further process of obtaining numbers usually takes a maximum of 10 minutes.

Final stage

Registration can be considered complete if you receive in your hands:

• Certificate of state registration of the vehicle;
• Two registration numbers;
• All the documents that you submitted to the traffic police when applying.

Be sure to make sure that the owner’s information is included in the vehicle’s passport. As a rule, registration of a car can be carried out not only by its owner, but also by the person representing his interests. To do this, draw up a general power of attorney and have it certified at a notary office.

Simplify registration and preservation of license plates

On October 15, 2013, a new technical regulation came into force, which partially changed the rules for state registration of vehicles. Firstly, the registration time was reduced from three hours to one, and secondly, it is possible to register a car regardless of the place of registration of the owner. When selling the car, the owner will have the opportunity to retain the registration numbers.

The new regulations indicate that in order to sell a car it is not at all necessary to deregister it ; this will be done automatically when the new owner contacts the traffic police. This means that you can now easily sell your car along with the license plates installed on it. When purchasing a used car, you bring to the traffic police the original of the concluded sales contract, on the basis of which the car will be automatically re-registered to the new owner.

This innovation is fraught with unpleasant pitfalls. After all, now no one will monitor whether the new owner has applied to the traffic police for re-registration. You can control this yourself. And if the new owner gets into an accident or, even worse, commits a crime with the car, questions will arise for the previous owner.

Another change that deserves attention is the registration of a car depending on the place of registration of the owner. Firstly, this makes it easy to get a duplicate license plate to replace the stolen one (you don’t have to contact the traffic police at your place of registration). And secondly, the owner of a car, registered, for example, in Sakhalin, but who bought the car at a Moscow car dealership, can easily put Moscow region license plates on it. The only caveat is that the car will be registered only at the place of registration. This does not give you a chance to try to save on transport tax.

Registration directly at the car dealership

According to the above-mentioned technical regulations, specialized car dealerships receive the right to independently register cars. This is a very convenient innovation for car owners, because now all documents for the traffic police will be collected by the dealership. He will be responsible for the coincidence of the numbers on the car being sold and in the title, and the dealer’s representative receives the legal right to represent the interests of the buyer in the traffic police. The completed certificate of legal registration of the vehicle will be transferred to the car dealership, where it will be handed over to the owner in a very short time. In addition, the car buyer will be able to independently choose license plates, because car dealerships receive the right to manufacture them with subsequent registration with the traffic police.

The only note: not all car dealerships receive the right to carry out such activities. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for issuing licenses and monitoring the provision of car registration services.

The article carefully examined the most popular questions that car owners have when registering their cars in accordance with the 2019 legislation. Some situations require more careful investigation, especially when it comes to used cars. There are quite a few cars on the domestic secondary market with a vague past, which is worth remembering before purchasing. In controversial or difficult cases, you have the right to seek individual advice from a qualified motor vehicle lawyer who specializes in such processes.

Registration of purchase and sale of a used car in 2019

Registration of a car purchase by hand is one of the most popular transactions registered in the Russian Federation. Almost every second citizen of our country has his own car, and most of the vehicles are used. We will discuss further how they are registered with the traffic police and what you should pay attention to when purchasing.

Checking the title before purchasing

When buying a used car, the buyer should pay special attention to the vehicle passport (hereinafter referred to as PTS). If there are problems with the registration certificate, then there is little point in inspecting the car. If the owner provides a copy of the title, the buyer should ask why the duplicate was made. It is possible that the original documents were lost or stolen, this will cause problems during the re-registration process. The owner must take care of the restoration of documents in advance, before re-registration of the car.

Next, you should pay attention to the number of former owners of the vehicle. If there were a lot of them, and the sale took place after a few months, you should refuse to buy on the spot without hesitation. Perhaps the car has faults or was used for commercial purposes.

If the car is registered not to the seller, but to another person, you need to find out on what basis the sale is being carried out and whether he has a notarized power of attorney.

It is worth paying attention to the section “Customs restrictions”. When a car is purchased abroad, its owner is required to pay customs duties. If he ignores this action, some restrictions are imposed on the vehicle.

The most important point in checking a car is comparing the VIN number indicated on the title with the numbers under the hood. Using the VIN number, you can also check whether the vehicle is under bail or under arrest. Write down or photograph the number and contact the traffic police with it, or use one of the Internet services.

It is necessary to check the documents on the car to completely exclude fraudulent actions on the part of the seller. If the vehicle is “clean” from a legal point of view, it is possible to further conclude a purchase and sale transaction.

Drawing up a purchase and sale agreement when buying a car second-hand

The first thing you need to do when buying a used car is to draw up a sales contract. It does not require notarization and can be completed by filling out a standard form manually or in printed form. The main thing is the presence of signatures of both parties to the transaction. The agreement is drawn up in three copies, one each remains in the hands of the buyer and seller, the third is transferred to the registration authority.

The following information is included in the car purchase and sale agreement:

• Full name of the locality in which the transaction is concluded.
• Date of the agreement.
• Full name of the seller and buyer.
• Address details of the parties.
• Information about the car.
• Vehicle price.
• Terms and procedure for paying for a car.

If there are blank columns in the contract, dashes should be placed in them . This will avoid data falsification. The parties should fill out the document in mutual presence. If the agreement is filled out by one party, while the other is absent for some reason, before signing the document, she should carefully read its clauses.

When drawing up a contract, the buyer should pay special attention to:

• The price of the car. It is necessary to reflect a reliable value, this will provide a guarantee of money back in case of cancellation of the transaction. Specifying a smaller amount may lead to negative consequences.
• Vehicle data. Must fully comply with the information specified in the vehicle documents.

In addition to the purchase and sale agreement, it is also recommended to draw up a transfer and acceptance certificate . It reflects the actual condition of the vehicle.

After drawing up the contract, the buyer is given exactly 10 days to register the purchased car with the traffic police. Otherwise, the agreement loses its legal force. If an expired contract is submitted to the State Traffic Inspectorate, the buyer will have to pay 5 thousand rubles in the form of a fine .

When the transaction is concluded, the seller is obliged to transfer to the buyer a complete package of documents for the purchased car; without them, further re-registration of the vehicle is impossible.

Payment between the parties can be carried out after re-registration of the vehicle or conclusion of an agreement. Here everything depends only on the decision of the parties and their trust in each other.

Who can help draw up a car purchase and sale agreement?

Buyers and sellers of vehicles are not always confident in the correctness of filling out the purchase and sale agreement on their own. In this case, they should resort to paid services. They are provided by:

• Law firms.
• Specialized companies.

The cost of services for filling out a contract is small, on average it is 1.5-2 thousand rubles. Payment for the document falls on the shoulders of the buyer, or is divided equally between the parties to the transaction.

Finding an organization that will help you draw up an agreement for a fee is not difficult. As a rule, they are located close to the traffic police. Such services are often provided by employees of insurance companies.

Should the contract be certified by a notary?

Most citizens of our country, based on the old laws of re-registration of cars, go to a notary to draw up a purchase and sale agreement, considering this a necessity. In 2019, there is no need to draw up and have a purchase and sale agreement certified by a notary. Such actions are not provided for by the current Civil Code. However, there is no ban on them either; notaries provide such services for a fee. They help draw up a document and certify it. At the same time, the agreement will have legal force even without notarization, so there is no point in spending money on it.

The buyer and seller can fill out the contract form themselves; they just need to download the standard form above in the article. There is also a sample agreement that you can print out and use as a hint when concluding a deal.

Registration of a used car in 2019

Only one state organization is involved in registering vehicles in the Russian Federation - the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. It is to the branch of this service that the buyer must contact within 10 days from the date of conclusion of the contract.

In accordance with the recently adopted law, to register a car, a citizen can contact any department, regardless of his actual place of residence and registration . Employees will not be able to refuse him on legal grounds. You can register a car without deregistration on behalf of the previous owner. Provided that the buyer manages to re-register the vehicle within the allotted ten days.

Before submitting documents to register a car, the buyer must take care of obtaining an insurance policy. Without its presentation, re-registration will be legally denied.

The new owner of the car is required to provide a full package of documents for the purchased vehicle, including:

• An application drawn up in full accordance with standard rules.
• Contract of sale.
• OSAGO insurance policy.
• PTS (vehicle passport).

If the registration is not carried out by the buyer himself, but by his authorized representative, the additional provision of his passport and a notarized power of attorney will be required.

After receiving the documents, traffic police officers check their authenticity, then the car is inspected and documents are issued in the name of the new owner.

During the process of registering a vehicle, the buyer will have to pay a state fee associated with changing the owner's name and issuing new documentation. On average, re-registration will cost 1.5 thousand rubles. There will be no need to replace old car license plates, so the owner will be able to save about 2 thousand rubles on them. There will only be a change in the actual property records.

Registration of new documents will take 1.5-2 hours. Traffic police officers are given a certain period of time to carry out each procedure. For example, the time required to receive an application should not exceed 5 minutes, waiting in line – 15 minutes, and inspecting the car – 20 minutes.

Registering a car through the Unified Portal of State Services

When buying a car from a private person, the new owner should know that registration is possible not only at the MREO during a personal visit, but also through State Services online. The whole procedure will take 10-15 minutes, and will greatly facilitate the submission of an application to change the owner of the car.

The procedure for completing an application on the website is preceded by the creation of a verified account. Without it, performing actions will be impossible.

Stages of document submission:

• We go to the official website of State Services and go to your personal account.
• From the list of services, select “Vehicle registration”.
• Next, select “Change registration data” and “Change vehicle owner”.
• Fill out the form that opens. You will need to enter personal data and information about the vehicle.
• We select the traffic police department to which the application is submitted, as well as the desired date and time of the visit.
• We confirm the entered data and submit the application for processing.

The status of the application can be viewed in your personal account. On the selected date and time, the car owner must come to the State Traffic Inspectorate, provide a standard package of documents, undergo a car inspection and receive new documentation in hand.

By filling out an application through State Services, the new owner of the car will be able to simultaneously pay the state fee. Until 2019, there is a 30% discount on this service if you pay by credit card.

Receiving a refusal to register a car

By submitting documents to the traffic police, the buyer of a vehicle may be denied registration. The reasons may be:

• Presentation of an incomplete package of documents.
• Providing incorrect information about the previous owner.
• The car is under arrest or pledged.
• Unauthorized changes to the design of the vehicle.
• Lack of insurance.
• Refusal to pay state duty.

If the buyer has provided a complete list of documents, their data is reliable and does not have errors, the car is not stolen, pledged or under arrest, the state duty has been paid in full, receiving a registration refusal is excluded.

Registering a new car

Any vehicle must be registered with the traffic police, otherwise its operation is illegal. To register a new car with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate-MREO, the owner must prepare certain documents and contact the department. The procedure has its own rules and procedures that must be followed in order to register a new car without violations.

In the article we will talk about the current registration rules, analyze the full list of documents and the cost of registration actions. We’ll talk separately about the timing of the registration procedure, and we’ll also tell you how to register a vehicle online and save time.

Where to register a car?

You decide for yourself where to register the car after purchase. According to the current rules, it is not necessary to register a car at the place of registration; you can register a new car with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate-MREO in any city and region of the country, regardless of the place of residence and registration of the owner. The car will be registered at the place of registration of the owner, but registration steps can be completed at any MREO. And the numbers will correspond to the region where the registration actions were performed.

Once you have decided where to register your new car, sign up with the MREO in advance to save time on going through the procedure. You can sign up by phone, in the department itself, by taking a coupon from the machine, or through State Services. Regardless of where you register for a new car, the procedure and its cost do not change.

Registration of a new car: documents for individuals and legal entities

The set of documents for registration of a new vehicle by individuals and legal entities is different. The individual submits the following documents along with the application:

• your passport
• vehicle passport
• sales agreement
• check received after payment of fees

Attention! Instead of a purchase and sale agreement, a gift agreement or confirmation of the right of inheritance may be presented.

If the documents for registration of a new car with the traffic police are submitted not by the owner of the vehicle, but by his representative, a general power of attorney and a passport of the authorized person are required. In this case, it is necessary to indicate in the application the data of not only the owner of the car, but also the authorized person, in a specially designated column. The power of attorney itself should indicate the name of the registration procedure, details of the authorized person and car, the place and time of drawing up the power of attorney, as well as its validity period.

An MTPL insurance policy must be issued before registering a new car with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate-MREO; this can be done directly at the dealership. If not, then in the office of the insurance company or on its official website. The insurance itself does not need to be submitted to the MREO; it will be checked against the electronic database of the Russian Union of Auto Insurers.

Legal entities must provide the following to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate-MREO:

• applicant's passport
• power of attorney from the organization
• constituent documents (copies)
• payment orders for payment of duties
• extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities
• vehicle passport
• purchase and sale agreement, leasing or rental agreement
• check received after payment of duty

Attention! Copies of documents, as well as payment orders and powers of attorney must be certified by the seal of a legal entity.

Rules for registering a new car

Registering a car under the new rules is quite simple. Since today a car is registered not only at the place of registration of the owner, you can purchase a car in any region and register it there without wasting time. Registration of a purchased car according to the new rules will take only a few hours.

Stages of vehicle registration:

1. Statement. The MREO will give you an application form. To fill it out correctly, use the sample that is on the information stand in the department. If you want to fill out an application at home, download the form on the traffic police website. Do not use abbreviations in the application, avoid mistakes, corrections and cross-outs - an incorrectly or carelessly completed application will be rejected
2. Payment of duties. You will also receive payment receipts at the branch. How to pay the duty and how much, we will tell you further
3. Inspection of the vehicle. The car should be placed on the inspection site, where MREO employees will carry out technical control and check license plates. Duration of inspection – no more than 200 minutes
4. Submission of documents. A complete set of documents must be submitted to the registration window.
5. Registration and issuance of registration certificate

Registering a new car through a car dealership

The rules for registering a new car with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate-MREO allow you to register the vehicle at a car dealership. Today, some dealership centers have received accreditation, which allows them to submit documents to the MREO on behalf of the car owner and receive a registration certificate. This innovation has greatly simplified life for motorists, as there is no need to waste time on registration procedures.

Also, accredited dealerships have the right to produce license plates. Thus, when registering a car through such a center, you have the opportunity to choose a license plate for your car. Unfortunately, there are not many such car dealerships yet. However, in the next couple of years they plan to develop this method of car registration by issuing more licenses to car dealerships for such activities.

Cost of registration of a new car?

Registering a new car, like any other registration procedure with a government agency, requires the payment of a fee. For each separate traffic police procedure, the motorist pays a separate fee. Registration of a new car will cost the owner 2,850 rubles, the price includes registration of an STS, recording data in the PTS and issuing license plates. If the driver re-registers the car and retains its previous license plates, the cost of the procedure is lower, 850 rubles. More details in the table:
