Payment of state duty for changing a driver’s license in 2021

All Russian citizens face state duties in one way or another. Payment of this fee accompanies the daily life of Russian residents. State fees are charged for obtaining passports and driver's licenses, for entering into and dissolving marriages. They apply to both individuals and entire organizations, and for the latter the amount of duties increases. Starting from 200-300 rubles, state fees can reach several tens or even hundreds of thousands of rubles - depending on the procedure they accompany. Today we will talk about what methods the state provides for paying such monetary fees and where it is most convenient to pay the state duty.

Where to pay the state fee

What is state duty

State duty is a certain amount of money that a citizen must pay when applying to government agencies, be it local government or a certain official. There are a variety of state fees - for replacing a passport, for obtaining a driver's license, for registering a lease agreement, for applying to the registry office, and so on. As a rule, the amount of this fee is not large, but its payment is a prerequisite for receiving a particular service.

Payment of state duty can be made by the following categories of citizens:

  • natural person;
  • legal entity;
  • individual entrepreneurs.

State duty is paid by both individuals and legal entities

Depending on their focus, state duties can be one of two types:

  • sums of money used to pay for various operations at the administrative level. Such actions have direct legal significance and include events such as registration of individual entrepreneurs, provision of duplicate documentation, and so on;
  • sums of money allocated to compensate for legal costs. A state fee is collected from a citizen if, as a result of a court hearing, a decision was made that is at odds with his interests. The citizen also pays the costs if he wishes to appeal the results of the meeting to higher authorities.

Receipt of payment

When you show up for your new license, you will be asked to provide a receipt. But it will be accepted only if the check contains truthful, detailed and complete information regarding the payment. As part of the notice, the submission of which involves the replacement of a driver’s license, in Moscow and in other cities the following information is indicated:

  • information about the payee;
  • information about the bank with which the recipient cooperates;
  • payer's full name, address;
  • amount of payment and date of this event;
  • Banking details of the traffic police;
  • signature.

Thus, the state fee for replacing the license must be paid without fail, since changing the certificate, carried out every 10 years, is far from free. If you want to save money and get a discount, you should pay attention to special methods of paying this fee. To obtain new rights from an official, it is necessary to have documents on hand indicating that the fee has been paid.

We have previously reviewed and studied the amount of the state fee for changing a driver’s license. This is the only amount you will have to pay to the state in order to qualify for a new license. This approach is implied by government regulations and laws, so it is imperative to take it into account. It is worth choosing a rational payment method that will be the simplest and most acceptable for you.

Amount of state duty

As you might guess, the amount of duty paid by a citizen directly depends on its type. Moreover, in some cases the duty is fixed. For example, when replacing a driver’s license, a motorist pays two thousand rubles. If we are talking about some more specific issues that involve litigation, then the fee is set on an individual basis.

The size of the state duty can vary from several hundred rubles to several thousand

Reference. The website gosuslugi.ru provides a special system of discounts when paying state fees online. Thus, for most such operations a discount of thirty percent of the original cost of the duty is provided.

It should be noted that legal entities, as a rule, pay state duty in a much larger amount than individuals. In some cases, the cost of the duty can increase up to ten or even twenty times. For example, if a citizen applies to the court on a non-property issue, he pays a state fee of one hundred rubles. If a similar question arises from a legal entity, then it pays a fee of two thousand rubles.

A certain percentage of the cost of the service is charged when considering:

  • divorce petitions;
  • challenging decisions made by government bodies;
  • cases requiring individual consideration.

The state fee may be a certain percentage of the cost of the statement of claim itself.

For example, if the cost of the claim was ten thousand rubles, and the state duty is four percent, then the citizen will have to pay an additional two hundred rubles.

Sometimes, to calculate the state duty, it is most convenient to use special calculators, which require indicating the size and type of legal claims, as well as the specifics of the authority to which the application is being submitted. The calculator calculates the final cost of the duty taking into account the Tax Code.

Who pays the state fee

At first glance, the answer to the question of who will bear the costs of applying to government agencies is very simple - the state fee is paid by the applicant. However, this procedure has its exceptions. If the court receives an application from an individual entitled to certain benefits, and this citizen subsequently wins the case, then all costs are borne by the defendant who was defeated.

The state fee is paid either by the applicant or the losing defendant.

Benefits for paying state fees

Some citizens of the Russian Federation are exempt from paying state fees when applying on absolutely any issue. Moreover, this benefit may apply not only to individuals, but also to government bodies. The list of beneficiaries is shown in the image below.

Payment methods for state fees

The payment method depends on how to submit documents for obtaining STS, changing license plates and other services. It is best to make an appointment with the traffic police in advance, otherwise you may arrive at the department and not wait your turn, wasting a lot of time.

If the application is submitted in person and not through State Services, you can use any of the following methods for paying the state fee:

Dear reader! Didn't receive an answer to your question? Our expert lawyers work for you. It's absolutely free!

  • Moscow ext 152
  • St. Petersburg ext 152
  • All regions ext 132 (Toll free)
  • Via terminal. Most often, the inspection office always has Sberbank terminals, through which all payments can be made. You will need a receipt - it is issued after submitting the application, but the state fee must be paid before receiving the STS, otherwise it will not be issued.
  • Via a mobile application. If you have a banking application installed on your smartphone, you can transfer money from your card through it without leaving the traffic police department. You will need a receipt: you can scan it using the barcode or enter your payment details manually.
  • Through a bank branch. Everything is very simple here: just get a receipt for payment, come to the branch and give it to the operator, transfer the money and then pick up the receipt for payment.

When paying with a bank card or electronic wallet, a problem may arise due to traffic police officers not accepting a receipt with bank marks, rather than a standard check issued at the cash desks of financial institutions. Such actions are considered illegal, besides, all information about payments always goes into a single database, and in fact, receipts may not be provided at all. However, they are needed specifically to confirm operations in case the information is not displayed in the database.

Requisites

Details for paying the state fee are individual in nature and are determined by:

  • the region in which the citizen applies to the government agency;
  • the specifics of the government body and the list of issues that it considers.

Receipt for payment of state duty

The details are a specific set of characters that will make it possible to make a payment. You can obtain this information in two ways:

  • find out from the employees of the relevant government agency - in most cases, the citizen is immediately provided with a receipt, which indicates all the information necessary for payment. However, not all authorities have the right to charge fees themselves;
  • visit the website of the government agency, in one of the sections of which the information necessary for the applicant is usually posted (however, not all regional bodies have websites).

Where is payment made?

A citizen can pay the state fee at any bank branch - to do this, it is enough to provide the details. Payment is possible both in cash and in non-cash form. After the money is sent to the citizen, a check will be provided (sometimes payment orders are issued), which it is advisable to keep later.

In addition to all other methods, the state fee can also be paid at the MFC

Paying the state fee for car registration through a bank

Filling it out yourself is one of the most economical ways, but when paying the state fee for registering a car with the traffic police in 2021, at the bank, the details will need to be double-checked several times to ensure complete compliance with the information. If the numbers do not match, the form is considered invalid and you will have to spend time submitting an application to the financial institution to cancel the payment.

This method will require a receipt in the “PD-4” form, which is freely available and can be downloaded and printed from the traffic police website. The rules for filling out the document are clearly stated in the current legislation. It should contain:

  • Details of the recipient - the local traffic police authority.
  • Details of the bank through which the payment is made.
  • Mandatory indication of the operation being carried out is payment of a state fee.
  • Personal information of the car owner.
  • The amount indicated in numbers.
  • Date of the operation.
  • Your signature.

A receipt certified by the seal of the financial institution will need to be presented to the responsible government official to certify that funds have been deposited into the appropriate current account.

If you provide incorrect information, you need to ask the inspector to “cancel” the receipt - put an appropriate mark on the document and return to the bank, where you will need to fill out an application for the return of the deposited funds.

You can pay at any bank branch that is included in the unified register of financial institutions in the country, where the service of filling out a receipt for an employee is practiced for a small fee. The cost of the state fee for registering a car with the traffic police will increase minimally - for 200 (on average) rubles you will get a 100% result.

The method is highly reliable and convenient. According to statistics, about 40% of vehicle owners choose Sberbank and similar large financial institutions to make payments. The only downside is time: you will need to spend it traveling to the branch and waiting in line. However, due to the insufficient qualifications of individual bank employees, they may refuse to provide the service, so it is better to call in advance to clarify.

In what cases is a refund possible?

Sometimes it happens that due to circumstances, an individual or legal entity may be returned the money that was spent on paying the state duty. Valid reasons on which a refund may be made include the following:

  • a partial refund is due if, due to an error, an individual or legal entity deposited a larger amount compared to its standard amount;
  • a full refund occurs in circumstances where a government agency, for certain reasons, refuses to consider the case. However, if desired, the applicant can leave a receipt for the paid state duty and not pay it again when applying again. The applicant can take advantage of this feature within three years from the date of payment;
  • a full refund also implies those situations in which an individual or legal entity, of their own free will, refuses to contact a certain government agency. However, in order to obtain the right to a refund, the applicant must pay the state fee even before the application itself, otherwise the service will be considered provided.

A refund for the state fee is possible if you refuse to use the paid service.

In order to receive funds spent on state duty, you must write a special application addressed to the Federal Treasury. The applicant can return his money over the next three years.

State duty for a Russian passport

The amount of the state fee for a passport depends on the reasons why the identity card is changed. If the change of passport is associated with the onset of a certain age, then the fee is 300 rubles. If the document has to be changed due to the fault of its owner (as a result of loss or damage), then this procedure will cost five times more - 1,500 rubles.

So, there are several places where you can pay the fee for a new passport:

  • bank. Despite the fact that most information certificates list Sberbank as a bank, in addition to it you can resort to the services of any other credit enterprises that accept payments in favor of the state. As a rule, payment can be accepted both in cash and in non-cash form. It should be borne in mind that in some cases banks can only accept cards that were issued by them;

    You can pay the state fee either through an ATM or through a bank cash desk.

  • terminal. Most banks have terminals, the menu of which includes a section that allows you to pay state fees using the number indicated on the receipt. In all banks, the procedure for making payments is slightly different, so if difficulties arise, it is recommended to contact a consultant;
  • online banking. You can use online banking if a citizen is registered on the website of a certain bank and has his own personal account linked to the card. Then he will not need to visit the bank office to go to the cash desk or terminal. All you have to do is open the app and transfer money to the appropriate recipient. Most large banks offer online banking, so this service is widely available.

    Payment of state duty through Sberbank-online

Let's take a closer look at using a terminal or ATM when paying state fees. Since the partition systems of most bank terminals are similar, we will consider only one option for paying fees using a Sberbank ATM. So, to transfer money to the state account you will need to perform several actions:

  • card insertion;
  • entering a PIN code;
  • go to the “Payment in our region” section;
  • search for the “Taxes, fines, state duties” section, and then select the “State duties and fees” option;
  • entering the recipient's TIN;
  • entering the data specified in the payer’s passport;
  • choice of duty type;
  • depositing the required amount;
  • receiving checks (the ATM issues two at once - both of them will need to be kept until the payment is confirmed by government officials).

Payment of state fees via ATM

Reference. Some ATMs impose a commission for those customers who use cards from other banks. As a result, the amount charged may increase by several percent.

State fee for a driver's license

The state fee for replacing a driver’s license is 2,000 rubles. The payment methods for this procedure have many similarities with the previous ones, but they also offer new options. So, to pay the state fee for your license, you can use the following services:

  • bank (both cash desks and terminals);
  • online banking;
  • State Services portal;
  • by Russian Post (to do this, you will need to request the appropriate receipt from postal employees and fill it out);
  • traffic police departments.

Receipt for payment of state duty for a driver's license

It should be noted that payment of state duties and car fines using Russian Post has existed for quite a long time, but in recent years it has faded into the background. Long queues and the need to manually fill out paperwork make this option not very convenient, which does not allow it to compete with Internet portals or ordinary bank branches.

Reference. In order to fill out a receipt at the Russian Post Office, you will need to find in advance the traffic police details that will be required for the form. All this data is on the official website of the traffic police, so for convenience you can print it out in advance. Moreover, you can download the form itself from the traffic police website and fill it out at home, then take it to the post office.

Budget classification code for payment of state duty for replacement of rights

If we talk about traffic police departments, most of them are equipped with special terminals, which in their way of operation are in many ways reminiscent of bank ATMs, but their functions are more specialized. Thanks to these terminals, payment of the fee can be carried out at the traffic police department itself - this is done for the convenience of the driver, who will not need to leave the department to transfer the required amount.

How will the state duty for state registration of a car change in 2018?

The final decision regarding exactly how much car owners will have to pay for car registration in 2021 has not yet been made. Legislators have not yet decided whether the state duty will be revised for next year or whether it will remain at the 2017 level.

Thus, in 2021, the amount of state duty remained at the level of 2021 and did not change. It was in 2021 that important changes were made to the Tax Code, as a result of which the state duty for registering cars, motorcycles, and trailers increased. Many believe that in 2018 tariffs will also remain at the 2021 level, which is due to the normalization of inflation dynamics in the country. The maximum increase in state duty is projected at 10-12%.

It is important to take into account that the 30% discount when paying state fees through the government services portal is temporary. It was introduced in order to increase the popularity of remote payment methods for government services. In 2021, car owners will still be able to save money when paying state duty on the portal, but from 2021 the discount will not be provided.

Thus, in Russia there is a single amount of state duty for performing registration actions at the state inspection. It is 500 rubles. for replacement of PTS, 350 rubles. – for issuing a new certificate and 2000 rubles. for new license plates. Other services are paid for by the individual if necessary.
