How much does it cost to register a motorcycle with the traffic police?

Registration of a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019. Registering a scooter

When purchasing an iron horse, remember that, despite the external differences from a car, registering a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019, as before, is a mandatory procedure. The same applies to scooters. In this case, strict adherence to registration deadlines is necessary. In case of failure to comply with this requirement, administrative liability may be imposed on the owner (possessor).

Registration procedure

The provisions and procedure for registering scooters with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, as well as motorcycles, are established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated August 12, 1994 N 938 “On state registration of motor vehicles and other types of self-propelled equipment on the territory of the Russian Federation”, as well as Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 24, 2008 N 1001 “On the procedure for registering vehicles.”

According to these legislative acts, the owner and/or owner of the purchased vehicle is obliged to register the motorcycle or scooter within no more than 10 days. Registering a scooter with the traffic police is no different from an identical action in relation to a motorcycle. To do this, you must provide the following documents to the nearest traffic police department:

PTS and STS (if any), documents for numbered units (if available);

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

application for vehicle registration (not issued in all branches, but often it can be obtained completed on site for an additional fee).

If you have any of the following documents, you must also provide them:

documents for numbered units;

customs documents on the temporary import of vehicles for a period of more than six months (clause 15.4.1 of Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated August 7, 2013 N 605);

documents on the disposal of the vehicle (when restoring the registration of vehicles that were not actually recycled, but had already been deregistered) (clause 15.10 of the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated August 7, 2013 N 605);

resolution of the investigative body and documents that are the basis for identifying the vehicle (for example, an expert opinion), in the situation of returning the vehicle after theft (clause 15.11 of the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated August 7, 2013 N 605).

Please note that Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated March 20, 2017 N 139 canceled:

the right of traffic police officers to demand the presentation of a compulsory motor liability insurance policy upon registration - it is received as part of an electronic exchange (clause 15.6 of the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated August 7, 2013 N 605 is excluded);

limiting the period of up to 10 days for obtaining the “TRANSIT” sign (clause 33 of Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 24, 2008 N 1001).

This does not mean that you may not have an issued MTPL policy, you just don’t need to provide it in paper form, traffic police officers will see it in the database.

Duty and fines

Since registering a scooter with the traffic police, like registering a motorcycle, is a purely government operation, a state fee must be paid for its implementation. Its size is established in Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation:

1,500 rubles for issuing state registration plates for a motor vehicle;

500 rubles for issuing a motor vehicle registration certificate.

350 rubles for making changes to the PTS.

If you use online payment through the State Services portal, you will receive a 30% discount. Read more about this here

If the owner violated the registration deadlines, then administrative liability is applied to him, which is regulated by the Administrative Code:

paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - operating an unregistered vehicle for the first time entails a fine of 500 to 800 rubles, a repeated violation entails a fine of up to 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for up to 4 months;

paragraph 1 of article 19.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - violation of the vehicle registration rules entails punishment in the form of a fine ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 thousand rubles.

Collecting documents, filling them out correctly, and many other intricacies of the process of registering a motorcycle or scooter can be difficult for a person who is not familiar with all the legal aspects. Therefore, to reduce the cost of time and nerves, it is best to entrust professionals to register the vehicle with the traffic police.

How to register a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019

Despite its appearance and seasonal use, the motorcycle is a full-fledged vehicle for use on public roads. Motorcycle owners are subject to the same requirements as car owners. Therefore, two-wheeled vehicles are subject to mandatory registration with the State Traffic Inspectorate. Avoidance of this procedure will result in the imposition of an administrative fine. Registration of a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019 is carried out in the same manner as a car.

Legislation on registration of motor vehicles

According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the following vehicles are not subject to registration with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate:

with engine cylinder capacity up to 50 cm³;
with electric motor power up to 4 kW;
developing a maximum speed of no more than 50 km/h.

The technical characteristics of modern motorcycles, like cars, significantly exceed these parameters. In this regard, they are subject to mandatory registration with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, the procedure for which is regulated by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 1001 of November 24, 2008.

The owner of a two-wheeled vehicle is obliged, no later than 10 days from the date of purchase (or taking ownership for other reasons), to contact the nearest branch of the State Traffic Inspectorate to carry out registration actions.

If necessary, this procedure can be entrusted to third parties on the basis of a notarized power of attorney.

Motorcycles that do not require registration

If you plan to use a two-wheeled vehicle only for sporting purposes, you should know which motorcycles do not require registration with the traffic police. Such models exist; you will not be able to drive on them on city streets and other roads. Currently, motorcycles that are officially sports equipment and intended for use on special racing tracks are not subject to mandatory registration. We are talking about motocross motorcycles and pit bikes.

Two-wheeled vehicles for sports purposes are prohibited from being used on public roads due to the lack of lighting devices and the inadequacy of tires for driving on asphalt. These vehicles must be delivered to the venue of sports competitions using a truck or car equipped with a special trailer.

Documents required for registration actions

In order for the registration procedure to be successful, you should find out in advance what documents are needed to register a motorcycle. Currently, when visiting the traffic police MREO you need to have with you:

registration application;
passport or other identity document;
vehicle passport (PTS);
a document confirming ownership (purchase and sale agreement, certificate of inheritance, gift agreement, protocol of the lottery organizer's drawing commission);
a valid MTPL policy;
receipt of payment of state duty.

Registration procedure

Currently, the procedure for registering a motorcycle does not require the presence of its previous owner. The buyer and seller independently complete the transaction by drawing up and signing a purchase and sale agreement. Notarization is not required in this case.

The previous owner receives the funds and transfers the motorcycle to the buyer along with the title. Deregistration is not required upon sale. All further actions are performed by the buyer independently.

Passing technical inspection and registration of compulsory motor liability insurance

The legislation of the Russian Federation prohibits the operation of motor vehicles that have not undergone periodic technical inspection at service stations of operators accredited by the RSA. This procedure is not mandatory only if three years have not passed since the motorcycle was released. And if you purchased a used vehicle older than this age, you cannot do without passing a technical inspection.

Registration is not possible if you do not have a valid MTPL policy. For vehicles older than three years, it is issued only if there is a diagnostic card, so before visiting the office of the insurance company, you should undergo a technical inspection. Since a motorcycle is a seasonal mode of transport, an insurance policy can only be purchased for the summer period.

Registration of MTPL for a motorcycle is cheaper than for a car. But some insurance companies impose restrictions on the value of the vehicle or engine size, and also deny owners of old motorcycles older than 10 years.

Registration through “State Services”

If you have a personal account on the State Services portal with a confirmed status, you have the opportunity to register a motorcycle via the Internet and pay 30% less duty.

The State Services portal allows you to:

submit an electronic application to the nearest MREO traffic police department;
pay the state fee online;
Make an appointment with the inspector at a time convenient for you.

Registration via the Internet will not save you from visiting the traffic police and submitting your vehicle for inspection. However, you will spend much less time on this than if you go through this procedure on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cost of registration actions

The fee for registering vehicles is regulated by Article No. 333.33, Part 36 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Changes are introduced only on the basis of decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation, and regional authorities do not have the opportunity to make their own amendments.

You must pay the state fee according to the details of the MREO traffic police department to which you will apply. Payment must be made before the registration procedure, because the original receipt must be attached to the package of documents.

Payment is made through bank cash desks, the Internet banking system, terminals and various payment systems.

An already completed receipt can be obtained from the inspection staff. And if you intend to pay via the Internet (except for the “State Services” portal), you can find the details of the required MREO of the traffic police on the official website of the department in the section “Divisions of the State Traffic Inspectorate”.

The state fee for registering a motorcycle consists of several components:

Issuance of registration plates – 1500 rubles.
Making an entry in the PTS – 350 rubles.
Issuance of a vehicle registration certificate – 500 rubles.

You can make one payment after finding out the required amount. So you will have to pay:

2350 rubles – for registering a new motorcycle;
850 rubles – for re-registration of a used two-wheeled vehicle.

The technical characteristics of a motor vehicle do not affect the cost of registration.

Administrative liability for violation of registration deadlines

Failure to comply with the 10-day period for registering vehicles with the traffic police is an administrative offense for which the following penalties are imposed:

According to Article No. 19.22 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a fine of 1,500 to 2,000 rubles is provided for late registration of a vehicle. You will be punished if you arrive at the traffic police MREO after 10 days have passed from the date of purchase of the motorcycle.
According to Article 12.1 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, driving a vehicle that has not passed the registration procedure with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate in accordance with the procedure established by law is grounds for imposing a fine of 500-850 rubles. In case of repeated violation, the driver will have to pay 5,000 rubles or lose his driver’s license for 1-3 months.

The size of the fine does not depend on the type of vehicle. Therefore, motorcyclists are punished in the same manner as motorists.

Registering a homemade motorcycle

Nowadays, you can find many craftsmen who are able to assemble a unique vehicle, including a motorcycle, with their own hands. Some vehicles turn out to be of very high quality, so the question arises of how to register the result of technical creativity with the traffic police. It should be noted right away that this procedure is complex, requiring certain financial investments, but quite feasible. To do this, after completing the assembly of the motorcycle, you need to go through the following steps:

Contact the certification center of the territorial body of Rosstandart and provide the motorcycle for testing and establishing its safety.
Receive a referral from the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate to the forensic examination center to verify the origin of the vehicle.
Contact the FSUE NAMI certification and standardization center in Moscow to obtain a VIN number. There is no need to bring a motorcycle here. All you need to do is send scanned documents by email.

The procedure for legalizing a motorcycle that is the result of technical creativity is the same as in the case of other home-made machines.

Registration of a motorcycle with the traffic police without documents

Often the documents of old motorcycles are lost. In this regard, traffic police officers refuse registration - in this situation it is impossible to determine the applicant’s ownership and the legality of the acquisition of the vehicle.

In this case, the problem can only be resolved through court, where it is necessary to provide evidence of legal ownership, as well as witnesses. For example, if eyewitnesses confirm that you purchased a motorcycle more than five years ago and used it openly, while the previous owner deregistered it (or perhaps did not register it at all), there will be a chance to legalize the vehicle. The fact is that in such a situation the court can make a decision in your favor, guided by Article No. 234, Part 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation “Acquisitive prescription”. This article should not be abused, since there is criminal liability for giving false information.

Conclusion

Only if you register in the manner prescribed by law, you will be able to safely ride your motorcycle on city streets and other highways. This procedure assigns the vehicle to a specific owner, who is obliged to pay transport tax annually. Based on the registration data, the identity of the owner and his address are established when traffic violations are recorded by video cameras.

How to register a motorcycle at the traffic police department

After purchasing a motorcycle, a mandatory procedure must follow - its registration. This is a mandatory requirement, otherwise the motorbike will not be listed as the property of the buyer. Those who purchase such a vehicle for the first time think that registration is a time-consuming procedure. In reality, everything is not as difficult as it seems. Registration of a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019 is carried out similarly to the procedure that was provided for earlier.

How does the procedure differ from car registration?

There are small nuances that distinguish the procedure for registering a motorcycle with the traffic police from a similar procedure for cars. If you have registered your four-wheeler at least once, then this procedure will not be new to you.

Who needs to register a motorcycle?

When purchasing a motorcycle, the new owner must register it. It is important to do this within the time frame set by the state.

Some sellers, to simplify the process for the buyer, deregister the motorcycle in advance upon sale. For the new owner of a vehicle, this is a big plus, because then only registration hassle is ahead. The main proof of legal ownership is the purchase and sale agreement.

Motor vehicle registration is carried out at the place where the owner is registered. The registration period varies depending on where the bike was purchased:

If the purchase was in the Russian Federation, 10 days are given from the date of purchase. This amount of time is enough to slowly collect the necessary papers and go through all the necessary stages;
If the purchase was outside Russia, 5 days are allotted from the day of crossing the border and the issuance of all customs certificates.

Motorcycle enthusiasts are often interested in which motorcycles do not require registration with the traffic police. The answer is that all motorcycles, officially called sports equipment, do not require registration. This group includes:

They do not have lighting devices or turn signals. Of course, driving such vehicles in the city is prohibited. Transportation of such motor vehicles on public roads is carried out only in the back or trailer of the vehicle. If the driver drives such a vehicle under his own power, he will not be able to avoid a fine, and the vehicle itself will be sent to the penalty area.

The ban on driving such vehicles on the highway is justified by the fact that the structure of their tires does not correspond to the asphalt surface. However, there are versions of crossbikes that can be registered with the traffic police like regular motorcycles. Registration allows them to be used in the future for driving on public roads. The group of exceptions includes:

There were times when registering a scooter was not a mandatory procedure. But from now on, this type of transport also needs to be registered.

The procedure for registering a motorcycle with the traffic police

Those who plan to register a motorcycle with the traffic police first need to understand all the stages of this process. If you have this information and do everything correctly, you can complete the procedure very quickly. Otherwise, running around and paperwork cannot be avoided.

So, the law provides for the following procedure for registering a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019:

Technical inspection – 200 rubles;
OSAGO insurance;
Registration.

Obtaining an insurance policy and a technical inspection are mandatory steps that are important to go through before registering a motorcycle with the traffic police.

If the motorcycle was purchased in a showroom, then you can transport it to the observation deck using the services of a tow truck or with the help of transportation. If you drive the purchased vehicle under your own power, you will be fined.

At the observation deck you need to assess the condition of the motorcycle:

See if the turn signals are working (whether they turn on or off)
Check the serviceability of the brakes.

Insurance is issued very quickly. What is needed for this? Go to the insurance company with the following packages of documents:

Driving license category A;
Document confirming the technical inspection.

It is impossible to register a motorcycle unless a complete package of certificates is provided. So, what documents are needed to register a motorcycle with the traffic police. Before visiting the department you need to prepare:

MTPL insurance, which is issued to the owner of the vehicle;
Transit numbers (if any);
PTS;
Owner's ID;
Application with a request to register the vehicle;
Receipt for payment of all fees and state duties;
Customs statements (if the purchase was abroad);
Documents for the right to own a motorbike.

After submitting all documents, the traffic police officer checks the frame number. Of course, for this procedure it is necessary that the vehicle is with you. After completing the inspection and confirming that the frame license plates match, you can go to an authorized employee to obtain new plates.

The motorbike owner must pay a certain amount for the registration procedure. It will not be possible not to pay, because the required documentation package includes payment receipts. The cost of registering a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019 is represented by the following amounts:

Certificate of vehicle registration – 300 rubles;
Changing data in the vehicle passport – 300 rubles;
Issue of license plates – 1000 rubles.

If temporary registration is needed, then the state fee for registering a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019 may increase by 200 rubles.

The total amount of the fee for registering a motorcycle with the traffic police in 2019 is no more than 2 thousand rubles. If the owner rides a motorcycle without license plates, he faces a hefty fine of 5 thousand rubles. Therefore, it is recommended to register in a timely manner to avoid any troubles.

PLEASE NOTE, VERY IMPORTANT! If the motorcycle equipment has been converted, or additional systems have been installed, such as a direct-flow exhaust system, turbine or compressor, or there are no mirrors or turn signals, it is highly likely that surmountable difficulties will arise when registering a motorcycle or scooter, since these changes are classified by the inspector as interference with the design of the vehicle and are the reason for a reasoned refusal to register until these reasons are eliminated. We urge you to notify us of such design changes and inconsistencies in advance so that we can take proactive measures.
