Registration and registration of a new car with the State Traffic Inspectorate (STSI)

What is required to sign up for registration through the State Register?

Something that cannot be done online. This is a small list of procedures, one of which is quite expensive:

collect the necessary package of documents,
take out MTPL insurance - this can be done after signing up for re-registration through State Services, most importantly - before visiting the traffic police at the chosen time,
prepare bank card or electronic money details to pay the state fee.

Below we will look at how to register a car through the State Services, both new and used, purchased second-hand, without sharing the subtleties of the registration, but citing differences where necessary, and there will be few such differences.

What documents will be required?

To register with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for State Services, you will only need document data: PTS, registration certificate (STS) and your passport. Everything else will need to be presented to the traffic police MREO upon visiting. The list of such documents is below.

Remember, you will still have to visit the traffic police - you won’t be able to fully register your car online through the State Administration - in 2021, you can only register for a visit to the registration department without a queue.

How to register a car through State Services? Full instructions

So, let's begin the simple procedure of registering a car through the State Register and step by step we will go through the online registration procedure together.

Step No. 1: Registration on the site

I'm already registered, hide registration instructions

It happens in 3 stages. To do this, at the first stage you will need to indicate your full name, phone number and e-mail address.

Go to the account creation page on State Services and enter the required data.
It is the specified email address or phone number of your choice that will be used as a login the next time you log into the site. You will receive information with confirmation of registration both by phone and by email, where you will need to follow the link to confirm.
Now you need to go to your personal account and indicate other data: SNILS and passport data.
After this, there will be a wait for verification of the specified details and after confirmation, another – the most labor-intensive – process awaits: to undergo verification. This can be done by: applying in person with your passport to the service center, addresses can be found on State Services,
online through Tinkof Bank or Post Bank, if you are their client,
via regular mail by ordering a confirmation code in your personal account.

You are registered on State Services, all you have to do is log in using your username and password. This can be done by following the appropriate link from the main page:

Step #2: Finding the right service

Everything is simple here too. If you want to register a new car, go to the new vehicle registration service; if the car was purchased second-hand, then go to the car re-registration section.

You can get to these sections from the main page as follows: Services → Transport and driving → Vehicle registration → Registration of a new car or Re-registration of a vehicle.

In the full-screen version of the site (when viewed from a computer), the “Services” section is located here:

Thus, you get to the service page:

Step No. 3: Filling out an application and registering with the traffic police

Click on the “Get service” button on the page. As a result, after some waiting, the registration form will open.

And then, in order, the application fields for recording will be presented, some of them are not required to be filled out, others are important to fill out correctly.

Type of vehicle – everything is clear here; if you register a car, then check the very first box.
Next, you need to choose who you will be in relation to the car that you are registering with the MREO traffic police. Most often, owners register, but if you are a trusted representative, you will need a notarized power of attorney with the right of registration stated in it.
Next you will be asked to enter your personal data. But if you have already entered them in your profile, then your full name, passport and other data from the profile will be automatically entered. Please note that some fields of the application are optional.
Next, you need to indicate your place of residence or simply note that it coincides with your registration address.
Now we proceed to filling out information about the car on the State Service for registration. And the first field awaits us here with the question whether we require license plates for the registered car. If you bought a used car, you can choose: either keep the numbers of the previous owner or replace them with new ones. Please note that to obtain new numbers you will have to pay an additional state fee of 2,000 rubles (1,400 when paying through State Services). When registering a new car, license plates will be required in any case.
PTS - both in the case of a used car and a new one, you only need to make changes to the current car passport, except in the situation when the space for recording the new owners of the car in the PTS has run out. We talked about what to do when buying a car with no space left on the title in a separate article.
There shouldn't be any problems with the car category.
Next, you need to enter the VIN code and vehicle unit numbers - nothing complicated here either. The VIN code and body number are most often the same.
Then we enter the characteristics of the car. Many of them are optional. All points, including the manufacturer and color, need to be looked at as written in the PTS, and also written in the application.
The following fields: registration document and MTPL insurance data are not required to be entered (but it will be necessary to show them to the traffic police).
Next, the most important point awaits us - the choice of the traffic police department and the time of visit to register the car. Your actual address entered above will be entered into the search field for nearby MREO departments. All you have to do is choose the one that is convenient for you on the map.
After selecting the MREO address, select the date and time of recording. All free spaces will be presented on the State src=»https://AutoTonkosti.ru/sites/default/files/inline/images/2018-11-07_235044.jpg» class=»aligncenter» width=»881″ height=»578 ″[/img]
And the last stage of this step: you need to tick the box that agrees with the rules of the public service and click the “Submit Application” button.
We recommend printing out the application and receipt for payment of state fees, despite the fact that the system will say that this is not necessary - let them do so.

Step No. 4: Payment of state fees

There should be no difficulties here either. The only subtlety is that a little time must pass before this opportunity appears.

Please note that when paying fees online through State Services there is a 30% discount. But this does not mean that when submitting an application through the State Register, you are required to pay state fees only online - you can pay in the usual way at a bank.

In general cases, when paying through the GI portal, the total amount of state fees will be 595 rubles (850 without a discount) for making changes to the PTS and obtaining a new STS. If you want to replace the license plate or register a new car rather than a used one, then the total amount of fees will be 1,995 rubles (2,850 without a discount).

The process of inspecting a car when registering with the traffic police

Today it is impossible to register a vehicle without inspecting it by road inspectors. After preparing all the necessary documents and filling out the application, the car is inspected at the traffic police during registration.

Many car owners are interested in how to properly prepare their car so that an employee can inspect it and find no complaints or violations:

It is best to wash the car first;
remove all unnecessary things from the car;
locate the VIN number, engine number and chassis number. They must first be cleaned of dirt so that they are clearly visible. If the number is damaged by rust, you can use a special product to remove it.

For buyers of used cars, it is worth noting that before buying a car, it is better to check all the numbers. There are a number of organizations that conduct examinations and provide a report on the authenticity of vehicle license plates.

Inspection of the car by traffic police officers during registration takes place at a certain site. The owner of the vehicle must arrive there, turn off the engine, open the hood and wait for the road inspector to approach him for an inspection.

Before the inspector comes to inspect the car, he will check the authenticity of documents in the database of stolen vehicles. This will give him the opportunity to instantly identify that this car is wanted.

At the same time, the transport will be checked against the FSSP database to find out whether it has been seized. Inspection of a car during registration is established in the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, namely, it consists of a visual inspection by a traffic police officer of the vehicle and checking the compliance of the numbers with the numbers indicated in the PTS.

If a traffic police officer discovers that some numbers or signs in any of the license plates are difficult to read or cannot be identified, this will be recorded in the application. At the same time, the traffic police officer notes all discrepancies in the markings or design of the car.

Purpose of inspection:

Check the authenticity of vehicle documents.
Make sure that the machine complies with the design and does not endanger other road users.
Check the degree of window tinting.

The regulations set the inspection time at twenty minutes.
The procedure usually takes less time. Many car owners are wondering how long a vehicle inspection is valid during registration? According to paragraph 41 of the administrative regulations, the results are valid for a month.

What's next?

Arrive at the selected time at the selected traffic police department and skip the line at any window if your time has come. More precisely, in practice it will be like this: you wedge into the queue next after the person who is already receiving the service at the window. If the queue is against you, then the inspectors at the department will support you, pointing out that this is how those who signed up through State Services go through the general queue.

You will need the following documents:

an application printed from the State Services and a receipt for payment of state fees (they are not required by law, but in some MREO traffic police departments they are required),
registration certificate,
PTS,
purchase and sale agreement (or any other document that confirms the transfer of ownership of the car to you),
Your passport,
power of attorney, if the owner of the car you are registering is not you,
OSAGO policy, where the owner must be the one in whose name the car is registered.

Next you will be sent for examination. In some MREO traffic police departments, it is better to go for an inspection immediately before you approach the registration window - on the site in front of the building, as a rule, you will see a large area with cars with open hoods and inspectors with the owners of these cars scurrying around them. During the inspection, they check the engine number, the car’s compliance with the technical requirements in the Basic Provisions of Traffic Regulations and give a conclusion, with which you are sent back to the window at the State Services.

Please note that in general, the inspection service at the vehicle site is free - the traffic police do not have the right to charge for it. But you may be offered the service not of the inspection itself, but of “preparing the readability of license plate units,” and accordingly, you will have to pay for it. This is already legal in principle, but you can refuse this service. No one can oblige you to pay, since this is not a state duty.

Next, submit all the necessary documents from the list above into the window and receive, after some waiting time (most likely, in another window) a brand new registration certificate (before lamination, they will check the correctness of the data in it), a changed title and license plates, if you changed them or received new ones.

In what cases is an additional examination prescribed?

After the inspection, the employee must put a mark on the application. If no violations are found, and the license plates and design of the car comply with the standards, then the application is marked with a confirmation and the owner can receive the documents.

However, it happens that the inspector has certain doubts, then the car is sent for additional examination.

It is assigned if:

the design of the car does not meet safety requirements;
the number markings made by the manufacturer cannot be read;
labeling is questionable;
the design does not correspond to the information in the PTS;
the car or documents are wanted.

Therefore, the purpose of the examination is to check the authenticity of the car and documents, whether the vehicle was assembled from parts from stolen cars. Traffic inspectors often encounter broken numbers when parts are installed on other cars after a slight change in numbers or symbols.

Of course, issuing a duplicate vehicle passport is a registration event and very often it is needed for completely legal reasons, but the use of a duplicate PTS for the purpose of fraud is not uncommon in our time.
State traffic inspectors do not have the technical ability to determine broken license plates; therefore, if doubt arises, they have the right to send the car for additional examination.

A large number of drivers are afraid to have their car inspected by the traffic police. In reality, this is a clearly regulated procedure that the traffic police officer must strictly follow. If all requirements are met, the inspection will take place in a short time and on the same day the owner of the car will receive a vehicle passport with the changes made to it.

If the car owner thinks that the examination was ordered illegally, then he has the right to appeal to the judicial authorities to challenge the decision. To do this, you need to provide an official document about the actions of the police.
