State duty for replacing a vehicle registration certificate

How does the document recovery procedure work?

If any of the above happened, then you should contact the registration department of the traffic police (Interdistrict registration and examination department (MREO) ) or the Interdistrict department of technical inspection of transport and registration and examination work (MOTOTRER) .

It would be useful to find out the days and hours of operation of these organizations in advance. It is better to arrive in the morning if you want to do everything in one day, since it often happens that it is not possible to pay the fees at the traffic police department itself and you will have to go to the bank and it often happens that the bank is not located in the next block.

So it’s better to take time off from work for the whole day and calmly overcome every obstacle with a calm soul.

Restoring a registration certificate is a process similar to registering a car, so upon arrival at the traffic police, you need to immediately get in line with a forensic expert, he will check the VIN number and body number, and the car will also be checked against all databases.

It follows from this that, just as before registering, it is advisable to wash the car and, of course, it should not have serious damage ; tinting that does not comply with traffic police standards should also be removed.

Otherwise, the inspector may not even look at the car’s license plates, but immediately turn around and leave and it’s useless to prove anything to him; the answers will be more and more rude and arrogant.

Service cost

• Come to the department, go to the “Inquiry” or “Document Preparation” window (can be called differently), there you will be given an application form for a replacement registration certificate ( cost 100-200 rubles , you can fill it out yourself for free, but in this case, if you make a mistake, they won’t accept your application. And as practice shows, mistakes when filling out, as a rule, happen and so you, after standing in line, go to the traffic police inspector, and he identifies the mistake and, of course, sends you for a new form. You fill it out again and again you stand in line and it’s not a fact that this time you filled out everything without errors. So it’s better to pay this insignificant amount and sit down and doze off in line with a calm heart).
• Here you will also be given a receipt for paying the state fee ( 500 rubles ), you can pay at the terminal, which can be here, or at the bank.
• A record will be made in the PTS stating that you have been issued a new registration certificate indicating a new number (it costs 350 rubles ).

What documents will be required?

Next, go to the window where registration operations are carried out with the car, inform the inspector that you are about replacing the registration certificate, state the reason and hand over the documents:

• passport ;
• PTS;

If the car was purchased on credit, inform the bank that the registration certificate is lost and take away the title until the registration certificate is restored.

• Payment receipts;
• Power of attorney if you are not the owner of the car;

If among the lost documents there was a PTS, then you should first restore it, and only then the STS.

If your registration certificate was stolen and you wrote a statement to the police, you will need to get a certificate of termination of the criminal case from the police department, where you will also lose your time and, most likely, your nerves.

When replacing the registration certificate, the state license plates of your car will remain the same. They will simply make changes to the PTS and issue a new registration certificate. All you have to do is wait until they make a new STS for you, which will take from half an hour to several hours.

If you wish , if, for example, you are not satisfied with the combination of letters and numbers of the car number, you can replace them with new ones , which of course is not free , the fee is 2000 rubles.

30% discount on state duty

But when paying the state fee through the State Services portal (accordingly, when submitting an application to register a car through the portal), a 30% discount is provided on payment of the state fee. To receive a discount, you must pay online - with a card from any bank, electronic money or from your mobile phone balance.

To register a car with State Services, you need to log in to the website, and then successively go to the Service Catalog → Transport and driving → Vehicle registration → Registration and issuance of documents → Registration of a motor vehicle with the State Traffic Inspectorate → then select “Get a service”; or follow the direct link to the registration form.

What is the amount of the state duty for deregistration with the issuance of transit numbers?

If you plan to take the car abroad for sale or other purposes, then you need to deregister the car with the traffic police and issue transit numbers for its export.

How to replace a registration certificate

To replace your registration certificate, contact the traffic police department at your place of residence. Provide employees with all collected documents, the list of which is given below. After the institution’s employees accept the documents, you will need to wait from one day to a month. It is during this period that the State Traffic Inspectorate issues a new PTS.

Important! The registration certificate can also be restored after loss. The restoration procedure is the same as for replacement, only the application must indicate the correct reason for the application.

What is a technical passport

A car registration certificate or PTS (vehicle passport) is a document in which the technical data of the car is entered.

The PTS contains the following information:

• about the owner;
• place of registration;
• appearance of the car;
• engine characteristics;
• possible restrictions;
• special notes, for example, that the PTS is a duplicate.

The document allows the state to streamline the admission of vehicles to participate in road traffic and control driver offenses.

What is the amount of the state duty for the restoration of the vehicle title and registration certificate?

If the SoRTS or PTS has become unusable, lost or stolen, then replacing them will also cost money. In this case, the total amount of state fees will, of course, be lower than for registering cars or motorcycles.

What is the amount of state fees for issuing license plates if they are lost or misplaced?

The state fee for issuing new license plates, if you have lost them, they were stolen from you, or they have become unusable, will be the same 2,000 rubles. Just don’t confuse the issuance of new numbers (with different numbers and letters) and the production of duplicate numbers if they are unreadable - the latter is significantly cheaper and costs on average from 400 to 1000 rubles, depending on the prices of organizations.

When issuing new license plates, you will also need to obtain new SoRTS and make changes to the PTS, so the total cost of state fees here is comparable to registering a car or motorcycle, respectively.

Here, too, when submitting an application for issuing numbers through the State Services website, a 30% discount is provided.

How much does it cost to replace a vehicle title?

The state fee for replacing the PTS is 800 rubles (Tax Code of the Russian Federation, part 2, article 333.33, paragraph 36).

In addition, simultaneously with the PTS, a new vehicle registration certificate is also issued for the car, for the production of which you need to pay a fee of 500 rubles (1,500 rubles for a plastic STS - from August 3, 2021).

Attention! When replacing a PTS through the government services portal, you can get a 30 percent discount on the state fee. Those. in total you will have to pay 910 rubles . The discount is valid from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2021. You can find out more about it in this article.

Main reasons for replacement

In the Russian Federation, a technical passport is issued in paper form. When re-registering, installing new equipment or other changes, there is no need to change the title - additional data is entered in the free fields.

However, there are main reasons that allow you to change the document:

• there are no free places for recordings;
• the passport has become unreadable (for example, torn);
• change of surname or registration of the owner;
• change in technical characteristics of the vehicle.

In these cases, the car owner must contact the relevant authorities for a replacement.

What is needed to replace the PTS?

To replace your vehicle passport you will need the following documents:

• statement;
• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• receipt of payment of state duty;
• old PTS.

I would like to note that when replacing a vehicle title, traffic police officers do not check the vehicle.

An application for a replacement vehicle title is drawn up on a standard form. You can find it at the stands in the traffic police or download and fill out in advance:

The following phrase should be emphasized in the application: “receipt of a certificate of registration of a vehicle and (or) PTS to replace those that have been lost or have become unusable.”

As for other documents, I recommend making photocopies of them in advance.

The specified documents must be submitted to the registration window of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate . Replacement of a vehicle passport is carried out on the day of application. However, in some cases additional reviews may be required and may take up to 30 days.

Replacing a PTS is a fairly simple procedure. In practice, it should not take much time.

Good luck on the roads!

I changed my last name in connection with the registration of my marriage. There is no free space in the PTS (I haven’t changed the data yet), what is the name of the state service (replacing or making changes, I can’t find it) and what is the state duty in connection with this? I’m going to sell the car. Accordingly STS needs to be replaced. What documents need to be changed and is compulsory motor insurance required?

Lena , in government services in this case you need to choose:

Vehicle registration -> Change of registration data -> Change of vehicle owner data

In the future, when filling out the application, you must indicate that a new PTS is required.

Good luck on the roads!

Good evening! I bought a car, but there is no space in the title, is it possible to change it without the participation of the old owner, without saving the state number?!

Pavel , hello.

Typically, replacing a vehicle title in the described situation does not cause problems.

Good luck on the roads!

Good afternoon She changed her last name after marriage, but did not enter new data into the PTS. Now I'm going to sell the car while keeping the license plates. Is it possible to make both changes in one visit to the traffic police - and change the last name and change the numbers? And which of these changes should I sign up for in the State Services? Or both? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello! We purchased a car and when registering it we need to change the title (there is no room). We save the numbers. Can we change it or only the previous owner?

Daria , hello.

Both procedures can be performed in one go. You need to contact us to make changes due to changes in personal data. Please note that on State Services you cannot indicate that you want to keep old numbers in storage. Therefore, I recommend that this operation be carried out in the order of the general queue.

Good luck on the roads!

Irina , hello.

The experience of readers of pddmaster.ru suggests that the new owner can replace the title when contacting the traffic police. Usually there are no problems with this.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello. We sold a car made in 1997 under the contract. The new owner was denied registration of the car because of the old title and was told to get a new one. The document is in good condition, A4 sheet with watermarks, there are fields for recording new owners. Are the actions of the traffic police lawful? If not, what should you do in such a situation?

Alexander , hello.
