Transit numbers a few years ago were something irreplaceable and necessary, but now the relevance and need for such license plates has dropped sharply. It is worth noting that in some cases such numbers are still necessary. In order to have an idea and know all the nuances of purchasing and installing transit signs, you need to understand what they are and in what cases they are used.
Transit numbers are signs that are issued by the traffic police when purchasing a car in another region or city. Most often, such license plates are used to move a car. Such signs can be of two types: paper and metal; which of them you want to install on your car depends only on your financial capabilities, because registering a vehicle registration document is a costly and lengthy process. There may also be a fine for expired vehicle registration documents if you are slow in registering your car in another city.
Important! Currently, transit numbers are issued only to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. Ordinary car owners (individuals) are not issued transit passes ; instead, after purchasing a car, they are allowed to drive without license plates at all for up to 10 days. Therefore, all information about transit numbers concerns only individual entrepreneurs and legal entities. persons
How much will you spend on obtaining transit numbers?
As mentioned above, registration of such license plates is very expensive. Only recently, issuing transit license plates cost about 1,000 rubles for a passenger car and 450-500 rubles for vehicles such as a truck, tractor, etc. At the moment, issuing short-term license plates has become more expensive, namely 1,600 rubles for cars and 800 rubles for trucks and special equipment .
Even a traffic police officer cannot explain such a sharp increase in prices. The license plate itself should not be mounted on the inside of the windshield, as this may result in a fine or loss of license. It is better to use standard places to place numbers, so that in the event of an inspection, a traffic police officer can see and identify this number.
Effect of transit numbers
The question of how long you can drive with transit license plates is asked by more than one car enthusiast who wants to drive a car from region to region. Those people who do not want to pay taxes on road repairs prefer to drive transit license plates almost forever. It is worth noting that no taxes can be withdrawn from a car that has a vehicle tax registration number. In fact, the registration of such license plates gives the owner of a driven car the opportunity to avoid paying taxes and liability on the roads.
Of course, this situation was corrected by legislation in 2013, when the law simply prohibited the issuance of transit; only in some (exceptional) cases can transit numbers be obtained. Thus, car owners will not be able to deceive the country and the treasury; it is precisely such actions that will help remove taxes from drivers for road repairs, etc. This is fair, because every driver has equal rights on the road.
As for the validity period of transit license plates, it is only 20 days . After 20 days, driving with expired transit license plates is very dangerous, as the owner may be fined.
Transits
Transit numbers are temporary signs that are issued when a car is deregistered from state registration. During the period of their validity, the owner of the vehicle must decide how he will dispose of the vehicle in the future.
Visually, transit signs differ from regular ones in that they are painted yellow on the right side. Additionally, they can be made from the following materials:
- Papers.
- Plastic.
- Metal.
Why are they needed?
According to paragraph 33 of Order No. 1001 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, receipt of transit signs is expected in the following cases.
- If the previous owner of the vehicle does not want to part with his signs.
- For transportation of a vehicle by an individual entrepreneur or legal entity to the region where the showroom for sale or the enterprise for retrofitting the car is located.
- When taking a car abroad.
- If there is a need to dispose of this vehicle.
The occurrence of one of these grounds is a reason to deregister the vehicle and issue temporary transit signs.
Who issues?
The issuance of temporary signs is carried out in the registration department of the traffic police of any constituent entity of the Russian Federation. To register them, the owner must write the appropriate application and also provide state inspectors with:
- Vehicle registration document.
- Passport.
- Receipt for payment of state duty.
- PTS.
- Old numbers (for destruction).

Employees of the registration department do not have the right to demand other types of documentation.
Is it possible to extend?
According to Order No. 1001 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, driving on transit signs is permitted within 20 days from the date of their receipt. During this period of time, the owner of the vehicle must have time to move the vehicle to the place of sale, retrofitting, disposal, or take it outside Russia.
However, this does not mean that after the expiration of the 20-day period you cannot go on the road. Despite the fact that it is legally impossible to renew numbers, owners can use another scheme. Namely, cancel the previous signs and order new ones.
Price
According to Article No. 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a state duty is established for the issuance of temporary signs.
The amount of the contribution depends on the type of transport for which the license plates are intended, as well as the materials from which they are made:
- Paper – 200 rubles (regardless of the type of car).
- Plastic – 1000 rubles.
- Metal signs for special equipment and trailers – 800 rubles.
- Metal ones for regular transport – 1600 rubles.
As you can understand, temporary license plates are quite expensive. However, they are rarely required by many car enthusiasts.
Why and in what cases can I get a transit number?
It is worth noting that the registration and receipt of transit numbers have not changed fundamentally; for individual entrepreneurs and legal entities they have remained almost unchanged, only the period for obtaining temporary registration plates has increased to 10 days.
This change will increase the chances of registering a car in a new city without obtaining a TN. In another case, transit numbers are established when a car is sold, when the former owner keeps the license plates for himself, and transit license plates are made for the car that is being sold.
The driving period with such signs also does not exceed 10 days for entrepreneurs and legal entities. At the moment, transit license plates are not issued for individuals, and after purchasing a car you can drive without license plates at all for 10 days.

Just in case, let me remind you that changes to the regulatory documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs relating to transit numbers were discussed in the article “Changes to documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 2011.
Part 3. Temporary registration of a car.
From the editor: Recovery of damages from the culprit of an accident in 2021
The corresponding resolution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was published on January 6 on the National Legal Internet Portal.

How much will you pay if you overstay your transit numbers?
In 2015, new fines for expired license plates were established by law. From now on, the minimum fine is 500 rubles, and the maximum is 900 . Moreover, if the violation of late signs is committed by the car owner again, the fine will be 5,000 rubles .
In addition, drivers who have committed an offense again will face deprivation of their license from 2 to 5 months. It is worth noting that paper transit numbers quickly wear out and tear, so if an inspector stops a car with such numbers, he will certainly issue a fine to the owner of the car.
That is why, when receiving license plates, it is recommended to place them in a file or laminate them, this will protect them from various factors that affect the condition of license plates.
What is the current fine for overdue transits? Nuances of punishment.
If you lose your vehicle registration document, you don’t have to worry: it’s enough to issue them again, and in this case the driver will not be held accountable, but you will have to pay the traffic police for the service again. There is another option - contacting companies specializing in the production of license plates. This will allow you to receive them as quickly as possible, but prices can exceed standard prices by 2-3 times and reach up to 3,000 - 4,000 rubles.
If you still missed the deadline for obtaining a Russian license plate and do not want to pay a fine for it, you can use several methods that many people resort to:
- Renew the purchase and sale agreement with the seller indicating a new date. It is worth considering that this is illegal, but the traffic police are unlikely to check the actual date of the transaction;
- Draw up a purchase and sale agreement with a relative, entering a convenient date. In this case, you will be able to travel on TN for up to 30 days. If an inspector stops you on the road, he will not check the title, so he will not identify discrepancies in the sellers' data.
Both methods violate the current legislation of the Russian Federation, according to which the use of forged documents is not allowed. If this is discovered by inspectors, you may be held administratively liable.
In addition to a fine for expired vehicle registration documents, drivers are subject to liability for driving a car without them at all or for other reasons:
| Installation of license plates with violations or if they are unreadable | 500 rub. |
| Driving a vehicle without a fuel pump | 5,000 rub. or deprivation of rights for up to 3 months |
| Installation of obviously false signs | For individuals – 2,500 rubles, for repeated violation – a fine and deprivation of rights for up to 12 months; For organizations – up to 500,000 rubles; For officials – up to 20,000 rubles. |
To avoid wasting money on fines, it is enough to issue a transit number in a timely manner and subsequently register the car on time. If these rules are not followed, there is a chance not only to spend a lot of money on paying fines, but also to be deprived of your driver’s license. It is recommended to comply with the laws of both the Russian Federation and the other country from which the car is imported.
Issues regarding registration of license plates are regulated by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 1001 of November 24, 2008 and No. 139 of June 10, 2017. According to these regulations, for a car (including a motorcycle), it is necessary to obtain special license plates in cases established by law. This procedure must be completed within 5 days.
The issuance of temporary signs is carried out in the registration department of the traffic police of any constituent entity of the Russian Federation. To register them, the owner must write the appropriate application and also provide state inspectors with:
- Vehicle registration document.
- Passport.
- Receipt for payment of state duty.
- PTS.
- Old numbers (for destruction).
What to do if you lose your transit numbers?
The problem is when you have lost your transit number and don’t know what to do. There are several ways to solve the problem with lost numbers. One way is to contact the traffic police service, where the owner will be provided with new signs, but the cost of such a service exceeds the initial registration of the TN. Most often, such a service costs from 2500 to 3000 rubles . There is another method that is not entirely legal, but its cost is much cheaper and the manufacturing process takes less time. There are companies that are ready to provide renewal of license plates; on average, the cost of such services will be about 1,700-2,000 rubles.
Penalty for expired transit numbers in 2021
According to Order No. 1001 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, driving on transit signs is permitted within 20 days from the date of their receipt. During this period of time, the owner of the vehicle must have time to move the vehicle to the place of sale, retrofitting, disposal, or take it outside Russia.
As for extending the validity of signs, this procedure has been abolished since 2011.
However, this does not mean that after the expiration of the 20-day period you cannot go on the road. Despite the fact that it is legally impossible to renew numbers, owners can use another scheme. Namely, cancel the previous signs and order new ones.
Sometimes motorists may experience situations where temporary signs are lost or stolen. There are only two ways out of this:
- Immediately after the license plates are lost, contact the traffic police and order new plates. However, it is worth considering that to obtain them you need to pay a double duty (from 400 to 3200, depending on the material used and the purpose of the state signs).
- Contact a company that specializes in restoring numbers. Their services will cost the motorist less than contacting the traffic police.
In no case should the restoration of “transit” be delayed beyond the time limits established by law.
To avoid liability for expired temporary signs, motorists can use one of 3 existing methods. Namely:
- Before the numbers expire, register new ones.
- Re-register the purchase and sale transaction.
- Wait until the statute of limitations expires. According to the Code of Administrative Offences, the culprit can be brought to justice within5 two months. Accordingly, if you register a vehicle after the end of this period, then the citizen will no longer be able to impose a fine or deprive of his rights under Art. 19.22 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
In a similar way, it is possible to circumvent transit legislation.
Private buyers should not worry about transit signs as they are not relevant to them. However, individual entrepreneurs and legal entities engaged in the relocation, sale or disposal of cars should take care of the timely registration of temporary license plates so as not to be held liable.
Temporary license plates are used when deregistering a car. The use of transit numbers is necessary in the following situations:
- When transporting a vehicle outside the country. Next (upon registration) it will be necessary to replace such temporary numbers with permanent ones that will reflect the number of the region in which the owner of the car lives;
- Lack of desire to change old license plates that were present when the vehicle was put up for sale. That is, the subject sells the car, but keeps the license plates for himself, and transit numbers are assigned to the object of sale;
- Removal of the vehicle for further disposal;
- Transportation of a vehicle by a manufacturer, seller or individual entrepreneur to the place of direct sale or completion of assembly activities.
It is worth noting that currently the need to install transit numbers is becoming less and less common. This fact is due to the fact that when buying a car, the new owner may not remove the old license plates and, by law, he has the right to register within the next 10 days.
The established transit numbers have a distinctive characteristic - the yellow color of the part on which the region number is reflected. Depending on the material of manufacture, they can be:
- Metal;
- Plastic;
- Paper.
In accordance with the procedure for registering cars, such license plates can be on the car for a period not exceeding 20 days.
The law establishes that such a period is quite enough for the owner of the car to carry out all the necessary procedures and dispose of the car or put permanent license plates on it. Driving a car with temporary license plates that have already expired is an offence. If this is recorded by the traffic police, the owner of the car must bear responsibility.
