Good afternoon, dear reader.
From January 1, 2021, new rules for state registration of vehicles are in effect in the registration divisions of the State Road Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
This document contains many innovations, the first part of which is discussed in the article “In what cases does the traffic police not issue license plates from January 1, 2021?”
Well, this article addresses the following questions:
- Possibility of registration only after applying additional markings.
- Temporary registration for cars of minors.
- What is the difference between termination of registration and deregistration?
- Possibility of termination of registration at the request of the car owner.
- When is it possible to resume accounting?
- What happens to the numbers and certificate of registration when registration is terminated?
- Issuance of a new title upon renewal of registration.
- Deregistration 1 year after termination of registration.
- Interaction between car dealerships and the traffic police during vehicle registration.
Possibility of registration only after applying additional markings
18. If signs of forgery of submitted documents, state registration plates are detected, changes or destruction of markings applied to vehicles by manufacturing organizations, as well as if there is information about the presence of vehicles or main components of vehicles (body, cabin, frame) in the wanted list or the submitted documents - among the abducted persons, the internal affairs body carries out an inspection in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
In these cases, registration actions are carried out upon completion of inspections carried out by internal affairs bodies, and in relation to vehicles with changed (destroyed) markings - after applying additional markings.
This item applies to vehicles whose body number (VIN) has been destroyed or changed.
For example, the number may be damaged by rust.
Another option is a car that was previously stolen. For such a car, the body number may be “interrupted”.
In general, if the body number is damaged and cannot be read, then such a car is not registered with the traffic police. The car owner is sent to the procedure for applying additional markings . It is discussed in detail in a separate article:
How to restore a damaged body number?
After the marking is restored, the car can be registered with the traffic police.
What is recycling
Disposal of a machine means its safe destruction. Employees of recycling points disassemble cars, sort materials and send them for further processing.
Previously, there was a state program in Russia under which the owner of a scrapped car received a discount on the purchase of a new one. Thus, the state encouraged drivers to abandon old cars in favor of safer new ones and helped the domestic automobile industry. There is no such program in 2021. But recycling an old car that is just sitting in a garage still saves money, because after the car is destroyed, it can be deregistered with the traffic police and stop paying transport tax.
Temporary registration for cars of minors
Let me remind you that in one of the previous articles it was said that a child under 16 years old cannot be the owner of a vehicle. That is, if a child owns a car (for example, by inheritance), then it will not be possible to register it in the child’s name. The car must be registered to one of the parents.
However, registration in the parent's name is temporary :
35. Registration of vehicles with the state for a limited period is carried out in cases where:
- the vehicle is the property of a person under the age of 16 - for the period until he reaches the specified age;
Once the child turns 16 years old, the vehicle's registration will be automatically deregistered. That is, right on his birthday, the child will have to re-apply to the traffic police to register the car in his name.
What is the difference between termination of registration and deregistration?
Let me remind you that until January 1, 2021, the concepts of termination of registration and deregistration of a car meant the same thing. That is, these were 2 names for the same operation. However, from January 1, these concepts differ:
55. Termination of state registration of a vehicle is carried out on the grounds provided for in Article 18 of the Federal Law “On State Registration of Vehicles in the Russian Federation and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” by including information about the temporary termination by the registration department in the appropriate entry in the state register of vehicles admission of a vehicle to participate in road traffic.
69. Removal of a vehicle from state registration is carried out in cases established by Article 19 of the Federal Law “On State Registration of Vehicles in the Russian Federation and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” by transferring the vehicle record to the archive of the state register of vehicles.
The main difference is that when government accounting is terminated, it is assumed that the termination is temporary . And when deregistering, it is assumed that this operation is permanent (for example, after scrapping a car).
At the same time, you cannot operate cars whose registration has been stopped, or cars that have been deregistered.
Note. You need to understand that if state accounting is stopped, it can be resumed. On the other hand, if a car is deregistered, then it can be re-registered.
Termination of registration and deregistration of a vehicle
Possibility of termination of registration at the request of the car owner
Let's look at another interesting innovation:
56. Termination of state registration of a vehicle at the request of the vehicle owner is carried out by the registration department on the basis of an application for registration action submitted by the owner of the vehicle or his representative.
The essence of this paragraph is that from January 1, 2021, you can stop registering simply at the request of the car owner . Previously, this option was not possible, meaning all cars had to be registered.
For example, deregistration may be necessary if the car is seriously broken down and repairing it may take a significant amount of time. The car will not drive anyway, so you can stop registering it (in this case, transport tax will not be charged).
Another example is selling a powerful car. If a person wants to sell a powerful car, the amount of transport tax on which is high (several thousand rubles per month), then at the time of sale he can stop registering. Once the car is sold, the new owner will renew the registration.
In general, this innovation should be positively received by car owners.
For what reasons can a refusal occur?
Usually there are no problems. If there are no restrictions on the car, if the purchase and sale agreement is drawn up correctly, the State Traffic Inspectorate will remove the car from registration, relieving the former owner of the burden of paying fines and transport tax.
Refusal may occur due to a ban on registration actions imposed on the car by bailiffs. This means that the owner has debts for which enforcement proceedings have been initiated. Sometimes it gets ridiculous; a ban can be obtained for underpayment of modest amounts of 100 rubles or even less.
If you see a ban, run through the bailiff database. In the list of debts you will see the amount and details of the bailiff who is collecting. Pay off the debt and contact the bailiff to remove the restrictions. After this, try again to remove the car from the State Service register.
If there is an incorrectly drawn up purchase and sale agreement, or if it contains errors in essential data, a refusal may also follow. Therefore, complete the transaction very carefully.
When is it possible to resume accounting?
63. Resumption of state registration of a vehicle terminated in accordance with paragraph 56 of these Rules in the absence of a transfer of ownership of it is carried out by the owner of the vehicle, information about which is contained in the state register of vehicles, when the owner of the vehicle or his representative submits an application for registration actions, a document identifying the vehicle, a document confirming payment of the state duty, a document certifying the identity of the person applying, and in the case of an application not on one’s own behalf, also a document confirming his authority.
Resumption of state registration of a vehicle terminated in accordance with paragraph 56 of these Rules, in the event of a transfer of ownership of it or a change in the owner of the vehicle, is carried out by the new owner of the vehicle. In addition to the documents specified in paragraph one of this paragraph, documents confirming ownership of the vehicle and an insurance policy for compulsory civil liability insurance of vehicle owners are presented, and the vehicle is also inspected.
Paragraph 63 of the rules talks about exactly what options exist for renewing accounting:
- The owner himself. Example 1 discussed above: Once the vehicle is completely repaired, the registration can be restored. In this case, a vehicle inspection is not required.
- New owner. Example 2 discussed above. After selling the car, the new owner can register it without any problems.
If we summarize the information from this and the previous article, then from January 1, 2021, when replacing a car, the following opportunity has become available to save on government duties:
Suppose Alexander owns a Volga car. He buys a new Lada car, but wants to sell the Volga. Let's consider how in this case you can save on getting numbers.
1. Alexander stops registering the Volga car, while he retains the license plates (the plates with the license plates remain with him).
2. Alexander registers the Lada car and asks to assign storage numbers to this car. He installs plates with numbers immediately after registration. Since license plates are not issued, the state fee of 2,000 rubles is not paid.
3. The Volga car remains without license plates and it is in this form that Alexander sells it. The new owner receives license plates for the car independently. For example, he can also get numbers that he previously reserved.
For sale
At the moment, if a car is sold, the buyer is responsible for deregistering the vehicle. However, if there was no cancellation of registration, then the procedure indicates the transfer of responsibility to the seller. To initiate the process, documents are submitted to the traffic police department where the car was registered.

Ask a Question
It is not recommended to ignore the cancellation of registration, since in the event of unforeseen circumstances or violations on the part of the buyer, liability may fall on the individual - the seller. It’s easier to independently verify your own legal security.
What happens to the numbers and certificate of registration when registration is terminated?
61. When the state registration of a vehicle is terminated in accordance with paragraphs 56, 58 - 60 of these Rules, state registration plates, with the exception of those accepted by registration divisions for preservation, and registration documents are declared invalid and are entered by the registration division into the corresponding search records of lost special products of the State Traffic Inspectorate.
When the state registration of a vehicle is terminated in accordance with paragraph 57 of these Rules, state registration plates and registration documents are invalidated and are entered by the registration division into the relevant search records of lost special products of the State Traffic Inspectorate after 10 days from the date of alienation of the vehicle.
If the registration of a car is terminated for one reason or another, then the registration certificate of this car and its license plate number are put on the wanted list. The only exception is numbers reserved for the car owner upon application. Such numbers are not put on the wanted list.
We are also talking about the situation when entering into an inheritance. If the owner of the car has died, then information about this is sent to the traffic police. The traffic police automatically stops registering the car. That is, you cannot drive such a car until you enter into an inheritance (this happens after 6 months). If the heirs get behind the wheel earlier, then at the first stop, traffic police officers will confiscate the car’s license plates and registration certificate.

Issuance of a new title upon renewal of registration
67. Renewal of state registration of a vehicle is carried out by the registration department at the place of application of the vehicle owner with the issuance of a new registration document and vehicle passport (in the absence of an electronic passport).
Clause 67 of the registration rules states that upon renewal of registration, the traffic police issues the car owner a new title . Naturally, in this case you will have to pay an additional state fee for issuing a new PTS (800 rubles).
At the same time, it is not entirely clear why a new PTS should be issued if there are still empty spaces in the old document.
Deregistration 1 year after termination of registration
72. Removal from state registration of vehicles, the state registration of which has been terminated due to the expiration of the state registration of the vehicle and has not been renewed after 1 year, is carried out automatically the next day after the expiration of 1 year from the date of termination of the state registration of the vehicle.
Paragraph 72 states that if the registration of a car that was previously registered for a limited period has expired, and the car owner has not renewed such registration within a year, then the car is deregistered.
For example, a car owned by a child is registered to one of the parents. The child turned 16 years old, but he did not register the car in his name. As soon as another year passes and the child turns 17, the car will be permanently deregistered.
You need to understand that the 1-year period does not apply to other cases of termination of registration.
For example, if registration is terminated at the request of the car owner (for car repairs), then after a year the car will not be deregistered. It will be listed with the status “registration terminated” until the owner renews this registration.
In case of theft
First, go to the police and file a statement about the theft of the vehicle so that law enforcement officers can initiate a criminal case due to the theft of property. After receiving a notification letter about the termination or suspension of the investigation, the owner may cancel the registration.
It is necessary to provide a list of documents:
- Owner's passport;
- Those. document;
- Certificate from the investigation department;
- Application for withdrawal.
