How to register a car temporarily
Recently, it has become possible to register a car temporarily. If the period of stay of the car on the territory of the Russian Federation is more than 6 months, then temporary registration is a necessity.
Temporary registration is necessary for the temporary stay of a vehicle on the territory of the Russian Federation
If there is a temporary need for registration, then you should be issued a temporary certificate of registration of the car in Russia.
Then you will be able to register only after customs clearance. The numbers are replaced with Russian ones, and yours are sent for storage. They must be returned to you at any time, at your request.
Such documents do not differ from documents for regular registration . All subsequent actions (inspection, checking documents, making an opinion, etc.) are carried out in the same order as stated above.
What deadline must the owner of a new car meet?
Your new car must be registered with the traffic police within 5 days after its purchase. If these deadlines are violated, you will face a fine. The date from which the countdown begins is written in the car purchase and sale agreement.

The procedure for registering a car in 2017
Let's look at the table that provides a step-by-step plan for registration in 2020:
Procedure | Components |
Collection of documents | You will need documents such as: ● Car passport ● Car owner's passport ● Own passport (if the car is not new) ● Insurance policy ● Document confirming the right to own a vehicle ● Statement |
Payment | 1500 rubles for the state fee + 300 rubles for the state certificate. registration |
Vehicle inspection | Checking documents, inspecting the car, checking license plates, issuing you an inspection certificate (if favorable) |
Final stage | After applying, instead of checking your documents, you will be given: ● All documents ● Two license plates on the car ● Certificate of state registration |
Collecting documents is a more important component of registering a car. The vehicle passport contains all the information about your car. Don't forget to fill out the application correctly!
Preliminary preparation for the procedure will significantly save nerves
If you want to register a car imported from another country, it must be cleared through customs and you must provide transit numbers.
You can pay the state duty through the terminal without any problems. This will make your work easier.
The most common failure after a vehicle inspection is due to the presence of tint. Before taking your car for inspection, remove the tint from all windows.
Be careful when registering your car. Be sure to check the details of the car owner in your passport and issue a power of attorney.
What to do with the application: how, where and when to submit it
The registration application is the most important document. You can buy application forms at traffic police departments. To complete this application you will need the following documents:
- Owner's passport;
- Passport for the vehicle.
Be careful when filling out the application; crossing outs and corrections are not allowed. You should submit this application before you decide to go through the registration procedure. You can fill out the form when registering your car with the traffic police.
Sample application for placement
Preparing for production using the government services website
Using the government services portal, you can submit an application within 5-20 minutes. After you have collected all the documents and sent the application, you will receive an email that will tell you the date and time of your required appearance at the traffic police.
On-site service delivery may take up to three hours , no more. Most often, those who submitted an application through government services receive the desired certificate of registration of the vehicle.
What we do at MREO
After issuing the policy, you must deliver it to the MREO. Next, register with the MREO to inspect and register your car.
Provide the necessary documents to the MREO representative. After a successful inspection, you return to the MREO, hand over the necessary documentation to the window and wait for the issuance of new documents on the registration of your car.
The procedure for registering a car
There is no clear sequence of actions during the registration process, since it all depends on which path the owner chooses - a personal visit to the traffic police, MFC or the official portal of the State Service. There are certain differences in registration for individuals and legal entities, but it is important to meet the 10 days required by law.
For individuals
The registration process for individuals is as follows:
- The wait in the live queue is about 15 minutes.
- A thorough check of the collected certificates and receiving responses to requests from customs and city tax organizations takes approximately 30 minutes.
- A standard inspection of a car in the traffic police parking lot is 20 minutes.
- Making an appropriate decision – 20 minutes.
Registration of the car with the traffic police must be completed within 10 days
If everything is in order with the papers, there will be no problems with the registration process. The registration time may be delayed if it is necessary to check for the factor of criminal theft, whether the car is in a bank pledge or in a credit loan. After registration, the owner is given a special certificate, completely new license plates, and a passport with a special note regarding the change of owner.
For legal entities
The main difference is the documentary registration support. If an individual needs to provide only personal papers and a purchase and sale agreement, then company representatives will have to provide a more impressive package of certificates. Along with the title papers you will need:
- Charter;
- Official certificate of registration;
- Confirmation of inclusion in the declaration and tax accounting;
- A power of attorney from the director for the employee who will be involved in this process.
If the car is the property of an enterprise, it must be registered in his name, and not in the name of an individual. Payment of the duty is carried out exclusively by non-cash payment methods exclusively from the company’s account. If these rules are not followed and the relevant certificates and papers are not available, registration will be denied.
Having prepared the papers, you can proceed directly to the registration process. The procedure depends on which path the owner has chosen.

In person at the traffic police department
Before visiting the traffic police, you must first take a registration ticket from the terminal. This operation is performed as follows:
- Click on the line “make an appointment with a specialist.”
- Selected.
- The date and time of the visit is indicated.
- Enter the person's last name and PTS number.
- Checking the entered information. Pressing the “confirm” button.
Terminal for issuing order tickets
The terminal immediately issues a coupon indicating the time of visit and the number that will be displayed on the display during the designated period.
Approaching the specified window, you need to give the employee a prepared package of papers. If everything is in order, he will accept the papers, issue an application for inspection of the car and receipts for payment of the state duty. After payment, you need to go for an inspection, carried out on a first-come, first-served basis. Next, you need to get in line again and hand over the application and canceled receipts to the employee. Finally, all you have to do is wait for the papers to be ready. When this happens, the applicant will be called by name.
Through the State Services website
Car owners who have a confirmed account with State Services can submit an application for registration online. You will need to perform the following sequence of actions:
- Go to the “Vehicle Registration” section.
- The line “Transport and driving” is selected.
- If you are registering a new car, you need to go to the “Registration and receipt of documents” section. If you purchased a used car, go to the “Change registration data” section.
- A special electronic application is filled out. Here you must include passport information, data on the purchase and sale agreement, originals of the STS and PTS and the license plate of the insurance policy.
- After carefully checking the information entered in the application, you must pay the fee. When submitting an electronic request, you have a special advantage - paying the fee with a 30% discount.
- You should print out the payment receipt, and then, with all the documents, you must visit the traffic police department at the appointed time.
It is possible to register a car through the State Services website, but you must have a verified account
Here the car and documents will be thoroughly checked, and on the same day the vehicle will be registered, and the corresponding official documents will be issued in return.
Through MFC
If the car owner decides to act through the MFC, you will need to prepare the following documents:
- A statement drawn up according to the sample;
- Russian civil passport;
- Receipt of payment of the duty, which must be taken here;
- PTS;
- MTPL policy – its availability in a special database;
- Diagnostic card with a valid period;
- Documents confirming the official ownership of the car.
Having prepared a package of documents, you need to go to the traffic police officers, submit all the collected papers and inspect the car with them at a special viewing platform. Due to the fact that not all MFCs are equipped with such a platform, and not all traffic police officers work at the same time, it is worth approaching the organization with a completed inspection.
At the car showroom
Most modern car dealerships offer registration services for cars purchased from them. If you do not want to deal with the registration processes yourself, you can entrust the procedure to a dealer. To do this, you will need to issue the appropriate power of attorney and hand over other documents necessary for registration. These include:
- Russian passport;
- Statement;
- Contract of sale;
- PTS with marks from the interior. We are talking about a stamp confirming payment of the recycling fee, the full name of the new owner, as well as the date of drawing up the purchase agreement;
- Insurance, the availability of which will be checked by RSA.
The buyer of a car in the showroom can independently choose license plates
Based on a well-drafted power of attorney, a dealership employee can register a car without the participation of its owner.
Important! When choosing this method of vehicle registration, you need to be prepared for the fact that the registration process will be somewhat more expensive. This is a service that is paid separately in salons.
Non-standard situations when registering a car
It's no secret that in order to register you need to have no problems with documents. We described how to check the title when buying a car in a separate article. Problems are also possible if you incorrectly register a used car. Let's look at them in more detail.
Let's look at the key problems that arise in the process
When can a vehicle examination be scheduled?
This check can be assigned by a traffic police officer in the following cases:
- Suspicions of falsification of a car passport;
- Defects in car license plates;
- Investigation into violation of the law;
- Desire for expertise by the owner.
Where is a car inspection carried out?
An examination of a car can be carried out by any institutions involved in this matter. The car owner can choose this institution himself.
Basically, there is one “but”, if the car was a participant in crimes, then the examination is carried out only at the Internal Affairs Directorate. The examination, which is carried out by independent experts, will only be carried out if this process is desired by the owner.
What can be established during an inspection and examination of a car?
The word "examination" represents a complete inspection of the car . During the examination they can check:
- Machine operation and malfunctions;
- Documentation;
- Authenticity of vehicle unit numbers;
- Vehicle diagnostics across all databases of government agencies.
The procedure for military registration
The procedure for registering for military service does not differ significantly when applying at the age of 17 or after turning 18. The procedure involves passing a medical commission, creating a personal file and making a decision.
When changing place of residence, a citizen first contacts the military registration and enlistment office of his previous place of residence. After moving to a new address, he is registered at the nearest commissariat. This must be done within two weeks.
What documents are needed?
For initial military registration, the following documents are required:
- passport or birth certificate with copies;
- certificate of family composition;
- certificate from place of work or study;
- six 3x4 photographs;
- educational documents, if available, copies thereof;
- medical documents on health status.
If available, certificates of sports rank and achievements, as well as training in military-patriotic organizations, are provided. If you have a driver's license, apply for that too. All documents are provided in person.
When changing place of residence, the following documents are submitted for military registration:
- application to be filled out at the military registration and enlistment office;
- military ID or registration certificate;
- certificate of a citizen subject to conscription;
- driver's license;
- passport or other identity document.
You can register with a personal visit. You can contact the multifunctional center (MFC) or the State Services website.
Through State Services
The State Services portal allows you to withdraw and register for military service without a personal visit to the military registration and enlistment office. To do this, visit the website, fill out an application form, and provide electronic versions of documents. The service is provided free of charge, delivery time is 1 day.
Through MFC
The multifunctional center carries out military registration and registration according to the same principles as the military registration and enlistment office itself. Documents must be submitted in person; you should also apply at your place of registration. Otherwise, changing the information may take additional time due to the sending of documents.
Where to contact
All questions regarding a citizen’s military duties are resolved through the military registration and enlistment office. Initial military registration is usually organized by an educational institution; in other cases, the citizen receives a summons indicating the address where to apply.
If you change your registration, you will have to contact the commissariat twice. In the first case, remove the registration at the place of previous residence, in the second, obtain a registration at the new address. Obtaining Russian citizenship also requires applying to the military registration and enlistment office at the place of permanent or temporary registration. If there is none, contact the place of actual residence.
Registration of an old car
Registration of old and new vehicles is the same. The main thing is to be careful with such nuances as:
- Tinted glass;
- All technical passport data;
- Old numbers.
The procedure is the same for old and new cars.
Within the scope of automobile law, we have prepared material for you on how to properly check a car for a registration ban.
The most important thing in the procedure considered is thorough preparation for the inspection and collection of documents. It is equally important to find out about the location of the traffic police department near you. The process itself is not as scary as it seems.
