Registration of an ATV with Gostekhnadzor, registration of an all-terrain vehicle

What types of cars are not subject to registration, and for which it is required?

According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 938, vehicles are subject to registration if:

• Vehicle engine capacity is more than 50 cubic meters. cm.;
• The maximum achievable power of the electric motor is more than 4 kW.

If the engine capacity is less than 50 cc. cm or ATV is intended for children, registration is not required. Control of ATVs and similar vehicles is carried out by Gostekhnadzor specialists and traffic police inspectors. Raids are carried out by the relevant authorities not only on public roads, but also on country and forest roads.

In case of a stop, the inspector is obliged to check the documents and, if the vehicle is not registered, issue a fine in accordance with Article 12.1 of the Administrative Code from 500 to 800 rubles. In case of repeated violation, the ATV driver will be deprived of his driving license for a period of 1 to 3 months.

For violation of state registration rules under Art. 19.22 an administrative penalty should be imposed in the amount of 1.5-2 thousand rubles for individuals and 5-10 thousand for legal entities. For the absence of a vehicle registration certificate, the traffic inspector has the right to detain the ATV and evacuate it to a special parking lot.

Do you need a license for a 50cc ATV?

Battery-powered electric ATVs have become especially popular in the last decade. These models belong to the category of children and teenagers; they are used, as a rule, for moving over rough terrain or local areas without going onto the road. In this case, the supervisory authorities do not have any questions and registration of rights to a children’s ATV is not required.

ATV 50cc

It’s a completely different matter if the all-terrain vehicle is equipped with an internal combustion engine (ICE) with a displacement of up to 50 cubic meters. Previously, owners of such ATVs could drive onto the roadway even without a driver's license. However, the resulting increase in cases of traffic violations and accidents led to changes in the current legislation. In particular, articles 25 and 26 of Federal Law No. 196 specified a new category “M”, which regulated access to driving quadricycles and mopeds.

By the way, do not confuse the quadricycle with ATVs. These are two different types of vehicles. Their differences are as follows:

1. The ATV is designed for off-road travel. Quadricycles travel on public roads. Often their weight is limited to 400 kg.
2. A PSM (self-propelled vehicle passport) is issued for an ATV, while a quadricycle has a PTS (technical vehicle passport).
3. To drive ATVs, you need a license of category “A I” or “M” (for internal combustion engines with a volume of less than 50 cm³). To drive a quadricycle, you must obtain a driver's license of category “B1” or “M” (for light quadricycles).
4. The practical part of passing exams for the license of category “A I” is usually limited to the demonstration of skills in a training ground. When taking the “B1” category, it is mandatory to travel in the city.
5. A driver’s license, which gives the right to drive most models of ATVs (except those with a PTS), is obtained from Gostekhnadzor, while category “B1” licenses are obtained from the State Traffic Inspectorate.

ATVs with an internal combustion engine with a volume of less than 50 cm³ are equated to light quadricycles and mopeds, so you must obtain an “M” license to drive them.

Where is a vehicle registered?

Vehicle registration occurs in accordance with Order No. 605 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Depending on what document the owner has in his hands, registration is carried out at the traffic police department or the State Technical Supervision Authority.

Registration takes place at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate if the driver has a vehicle passport (PTS). An ATV is a self-propelled vehicle, so the owner has one of the main documents for transport is a self-propelled vehicle passport (PSM).

Gostekhnadzor registers only self-propelled vehicles. This vehicle cannot be driven on roads intended for public use. To register the equipment, you should contact the Gostekhnadzor department at your place of residence, having in hand the passport of the self-propelled vehicle. Read about how self-propelled vehicles are deregistered from Gostekhnadzor and when it needs to be done here.

Do I need to register my ATV?

Recently, more and more people are riding ATVs. A huge part of these drivers do not even suspect that this equipment needs to be registered, just like other vehicles: cars, trailers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, other motor vehicles (scooters, mopeds, scooters), homemade cars.

The traffic police constantly issues fines to these people, because ignorance of the law does not exempt them from responsibility. It becomes clear that the ATV needs to be registered quickly, otherwise troubles cannot be avoided.

All stages of the procedure

Once you become the owner of a vehicle, including an ATV, you must register it.

Deadlines

The ATV must be registered within 10 days after purchase or before the expiration date of the “Transit” registration plate.

Required documents

The package of documents for registering an ATV with Gostekhnadzor is the same for all vehicles:

• PSM;
• certificate of conformity (if available);
• transit license plate (if available);
• MTPL insurance policy;
• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation for an individual or registration documents for a legal entity;
• documents confirming the right to own an ATV (sale and purchase agreement, certificate of inheritance, customs decree, court decision);
• acceptance certificate as an annex to the contract indicating the technical data of the vehicle.

Filling out an application

Having collected all the documents, you should come to Gostekhnadzor, go to a special office, where the citizen will be given an application form, or you can download it yourself, print it and fill it out at home.

The form of the document differs significantly from the one issued by the traffic police:

1. In the upper right corner write the address of Gostekhnadzor and to whom the application is addressed (full name of the head). Find out information on the Internet or directly from the organization.
2. Carefully enter the details of your civil passport, PSM, contracts, STS and other documents.
3. Next, provide all the information about the car: name, make, year of manufacture, numbers of the frame, engine, axle and gearbox, color of the ATV.
4. Enter the date, signature and transcript.

This is all that the applicant needs to fill out, then the engineer-inspector of Gostekhnadzor enters the information into the application. Check the information you have written, because if there are errors or inaccuracies, specialists may refuse the service.

Arrangement order

The procedure for registering a vehicle consists of the following steps:

1. Preparation of all documentation.
2. Obtaining an MTPL insurance policy.
3. If the equipment is used, then a technical inspection is carried out.
4. Receive a receipt for payment of the state fee and an application form.
5. Filling out the application in a form issued by government officials and paying the state fee.
6. Transfer of all documents to the inspector.

State duty and payment

A receipt for payment of the state duty is received from Gostekhnadzor, its amount is established by Art. 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation:

• for a certificate of state registration - 500 rubles;

How to register an ATV or snowmobile with the Moscow Gostekhnadzor in 2021

ATTENTION! From December 2021, admission of individuals by Gostekhnadzor authorities is carried out only by appointment! It has become impossible to simply come and register your ATV or snowmobile upon application, be careful!

Registering off-road vehicles with Gostekhnadzor in Moscow is radically different from the process of registering a car with the traffic police. First of all, the fact that an ATV or snowmobile is registered strictly at the place of permanent residence of the owner. Each of the administrative districts of Moscow is assigned to a specific registration division of Gostekhnadzor, a list of which with addresses, telephone numbers and work schedules is given in the table below.

Additionally, unlike a car, a used ATV or used snowmobile cannot be sold or purchased under a handwritten sales contract. The title document for ownership is the Purchase and Sale Agreement, executed only through a consignment store, about which the consignment store makes a corresponding entry and puts a stamp in the Passport of the self-propelled vehicle. And one more fundamental difference: a seller selling his off-road vehicle to a new owner is obliged to deregister it with Gostekhnadzor before selling it. Only after this is her alienation allowed.

So, the situations:

1. you are planning to purchase a new ATV or snowmobile from a dealership. What documents should you have on hand to register it?

In this situation, in the salon you should receive in your hands

• A purchase and sale agreement, in which the salon is the seller, and you are the buyer, an act of acceptance and transfer of a self-propelled vehicle to this agreement.
• PSM (self-propelled vehicle passport), where the salon makes a corresponding record of the sale, certified by their seal.

All other papers that you receive at the showroom will not be required to register your equipment with Gostekhnadzor.

2. you are planning to purchase an ATV or snowmobile from the previous owner, or, as they say, “from second hand.” First of all, make sure that the equipment is deregistered for sale, if it was previously registered, of course.

Alienation of equipment is permitted regardless of whether the previous owner registered it or not. If the equipment was purchased by the previous owner, but not registered, the consignment store will require the old owner to obtain his title document for the self-propelled vehicle (DCP between him and the showroom where he bought it)

It makes the most sense to complete such a transaction directly at a consignment store, arriving there together with the previous owner, with personal passports and all available documents for the equipment. There you can make payments after signing the Sales and Purchase Agreement.

In this situation, at a thrift store you should receive

• A commission agreement, in which the commission store is the commission agent, and the former owner is the principal.
• A purchase and sale agreement in which the consignment store is the seller and you are the buyer.
• If the self-propelled vehicle was previously registered - Certificate of registration of the vehicle with a note indicating its deregistration
• PSM (self-propelled vehicle passport), where the consignment store makes a corresponding record of the sale, certified by their seal.

Next, we will talk about the MTPL policy, in which cases it will be necessary to issue it, and in which it is not needed. To register a snowmobile, a compulsory motor liability insurance policy is not required in any case. But when registering an ATV, it’s different. You need to find on the front side of the Self-Propelled Vehicle (PSM) Passport the line “Maximum design speed, km/h” and see what value is printed there. If it is more than 40, you will need to take out a compulsory motor liability insurance policy; if it is less, then no. Regardless of the year of manufacture of the ATV, a diagnostic inspection card is not required to obtain an MTPL policy. This is beyond the competence of vehicle technical inspection points. An MTPL policy for an ATV can be issued at any stationary office of any insurance company by going there in person with the title documents. Make sure that a photocopy of the MTPL policy is made; it will be required by Gostekhnadzor to register the ATV.

Now you have in your hands all the necessary documents (a personal passport must also be present, of course) to register an ATV or snowmobile with Gostekhnadzor. In accordance with Russian legislation, the owner is obliged to register a self-propelled vehicle within five working days from the moment he signs the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Otherwise, you will have to pay an administrative fine in the amount of 2000 rubles.

Is it necessary to provide equipment to your Gostekhnadzor department for inspection by an inspector?

• NOT NECESSARY : if the equipment is manufactured in 2021, 2021, was not previously registered and was purchased at a showroom
• DO : in all other cases

It would be worth noting here that you should study in advance the issue of the location of the frame number, engine and other units that have a number. As a rule, the Gostekhnadzor inspector does not have such secret knowledge, and in unsuccessful attempts to find the number needed for verification, he will force you to dismantle the floor of the car.

The procedure for your actions when registering directly with the Gostekhnadzor department:

• Appear in person, receive and carefully fill out the application issued by the inspector. Applications with errors or corrections will not be accepted; ask for 2 forms at once, just in case.
• Submit the equipment for inspection (if necessary), the inspector makes a note on the application that the equipment has been inspected and the registration data corresponds to the declared ones.
• Fill out and pay the state fee receipt for registration actions RUB 2,350.
• Submit documents for verification.

In accordance with the regulations of the Gostekhnadzor authorities, the registration of a self-propelled vehicle must be carried out by them within 5 working days from the moment you submit your application. Those. in a calendar week - maximum, you will be asked to appear in person and receive a state document. number, Vehicle registration certificate and PSM with a registration mark.

Features of the procedure for different cases

Depending on certain factors and technical conditions, there are some features of registering an ATV.

Where to contact - Gostekhnadzor or the traffic police?

The procedure for registering an ATV is not significantly different. You just have to understand that the registration and operation of self-propelled vehicles is carried out by the Gostekhnadzor authorities, and you need to contact the traffic police if the ATV was assembled yourself. At the state traffic inspectorate, a homemade ATV will go through a series of examinations.

What to do with a homemade vehicle?

Registering a homemade self-propelled vehicle becomes significantly more complicated.

1. First, you need to go to the MREO and confirm that the ATV was indeed assembled independently, and all spare parts and components were purchased legally.
   As evidence, it is worth presenting the purchase and sale agreement for the car on the basis of which the ATV was assembled, and the paper deregistering the vehicle. In their absence, the owner draws up a corresponding application in any form. The process of assembling the equipment itself should be captured with photographs.
2. Based on the opinion of the MREO expert, a decision will be issued on the absence of identification license plates. It is sent to a forensic examination along with a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, an expert opinion, a document from a criminologist of the MREO, where, as a result, a referral to the traffic police is issued. This body will award and fill in the missing numbers.
3. Next, the owner of the ATV goes to the MREO with all the documents for vehicle registration, where he will receive an STS indicating the make of the vehicle “Homemade” and state license plates.

Do I need to register a used car?

When registering a used ATV, a state technical inspection is required.

Registration of an ATV at the traffic police

If the documents for your vehicle indicate “ATV”, you will have to go to the traffic police to register it. The fact is that the driver of an ATV, according to documents, must have a category B1 license obtained from the traffic police. And an ATV is not considered a self-propelled vehicle. If you don’t know what you need to register an ATV, don’t worry, because the traffic police need the same package of documents as we described above. You will need to provide the following documents:

1. Sample application;
2. OSAGO policy;
3. If you have a previous registration, license plate and registration certificate.

Be sure to take your passport with you, it will be used to verify your identity. If your ATV has previously been in use, according to the rules of the traffic police you will also have to undergo a state technical inspection.

Is it possible to submit an application through the State Services portal?

It is not always possible to find time to visit Gostekhnadzor to register vehicles. In this case, the owner of the ATV can submit an application through the online portal “Gosuslugi”, but it is worth understanding that you still need to come to Gostekhnadzor for a technical inspection.

1. To use the service, you should find, “Registration of new equipment and deregistration.” They are located in the “Services” section. Personal transport. Self-propelled equipment."
2. The owner of the vehicle must fill out the necessary applications and attach photocopies of documents.
3. You need to come to Gostekhnadzor only to receive completed documents and to undergo technical inspection. The time and date of visiting the registration authority will appear the next day after the application is submitted; the provision of the service will take no more than 5 working days.

Driving license category "B"

If you have a category “B” license, the owner of an ATV can only drive it if the engine displacement is limited to 50 cubic meters. In other cases, the driver is required to have a category “A I” driver’s license. To obtain it, the candidate only needs to pass the practical part of the exam and undergo a medical examination.

To summarize, it is worth noting: firstly, ATVs belong to the class of self-propelled vehicles, are registered with Gostekhnadzor and their operation requires obtaining an “AI” category driver’s license. Secondly, a license for an electric ATV with an engine less than 50 cc is not needed. But only on the condition that it is not used on public roads.

Driving on ATVs without a license or vehicle registration is punishable by heavy fines and the removal of equipment to an impound lot. Therefore, before purchasing a reliable steel friend, it is worth finding out all its technical characteristics and the resulting nuances of vehicle design.

How to do this through the MFC?

It will not be possible to fully register an ATV at the MFC in the same way as through government services - the owner of the vehicle must still visit Gostekhnadzor.

To register through the MFC, a citizen must complete the following steps:

1. contact the MFC at your place of residence;
2. provide original documents;
3. fill out the form and sign the application;
4. obtain information about the date and place of inspection of the ATV.

After the technical inspection, the citizen will receive:

• self-propelled vehicle passport;
• vehicle registration certificate;
• registration plates.

The website contains information about registering self-propelled vehicles and the nuances for snowmobiles. Also read about how self-propelled vehicles are deregistered from Gostekhnadzor and when it needs to be done.

Removal from the register

Deregistration of motor vehicles is required in several cases:

• when a vehicle is stolen;
• when selling;
• upon disposal.

As in the case of a car, the procedure is free of charge. However, owners need to remember that after deregistration of the ATV, driving the vehicle will be considered illegal. Basically, the procedure is necessary after the sale of a vehicle, if the new owner has not re-registered the data with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate or Gostekhnadzor.

To deregister an ATV you must:

• fill out an application indicating the reason for termination of registration;
• provide the vehicle for inspection (if necessary);
• return the license plates, as well as documents for the car, to the traffic police officer.

Transport is deregistered within 1 day.
