Registration of a car with the traffic police by a legal entity: step-by-step instructions

Home/Purchasing a car/Registration of a car by a legal entity

The law obliges car owners to register their vehicle. The rule applies regardless of the status of the owner of the car. Legal entities must also contact the traffic police to register their vehicle. Its implementation is similar to the list of actions that ordinary citizens are required to carry out. The differences lie in the list of required documents, the amount of state duty and the features of applying to the authorized body.

New rules for registering a car with the traffic police by a legal entity

A company can receive a car as a gift, acquire it based on a purchase and sale agreement, or win a car through a competition. Initially, the owner of the car is an individual or legal entity. The car is deregistered automatically. When the initial registration is completed and the deal is concluded, you need to contact the traffic police. Here the car will be registered by a legal entity.

The procedure is regulated by Order No. 399 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated June 26, 2021. The regulatory act introduced a number of changes to the registration of a car by a legal entity. He legislated the procedure for registering cars with electronic passports. Additionally, it has become much easier to replace the engine. The law introduces relaxations for persons who replace it with a similar one. In this situation, an inspection is performed, based on which the information is entered into the database. You do not need to provide documents for the engine. The regulatory legal act also established the procedure for registering a car whose owners are several persons. There has been an increase in the shelf life of registration plates when changing cars. Previously, the period was limited to six months. Now the period has been extended to a year. The validity period of transit signs has been increased. It was extended to 30 days. The registration certificate form has also been updated.

For your information

On August 3, 2021, Federal Law No. 283 On the state registration of vehicles in the Russian Federation was adopted. Effective August 4, 2021. Its adoption will entail the following changes:

The traffic police will stop providing state license plates. In the regulatory legal act, differences appeared between the registration mark and its material expression. Traffic police representatives will begin assigning numbers. Specialized firms will have the right to provide registration marks. This will entail an increase in the cost of the procedure for registering a car by a legal entity. You will need to pay separately for the provision of an intangible equivalent of a number.
The ability to register a car for minors will disappear. The owner must be at least 16 years old.
We have simplified the list of actions that will have to be taken if the car’s license plate has been erased. Everything will also need to undergo an examination. However, the number can be reapplied.

Registration in the traffic police
Submission of documents
Payment of government fees
Inspection of the car, checking body numbers and parts with the registration certificate
Obtaining a certificate of registration and license plates

The vehicle is placed on the department site, where inspectors check the identification numbers of the body and vehicle parts with the data recorded in the technical passport. The duration of the procedure is no longer than 20 minutes. Before visiting the site, it is recommended to check the condition of identification numbers and clean them if necessary.

A power of attorney is drawn up. The document is signed by the head of the organization.
Additional papers are being prepared, including an application for registration.
The documentation is transferred to the traffic police, and the state fee is paid.
The transport is being prepared for inspection. Then technical control is carried out.

When all stages are completed, the representative of the legal entity is issued a passport and vehicle registration certificate. If you need to register a truck, you can contact any department of the State Traffic Inspectorate. There is no connection to the place of registration. The application form must be completed independently. The data is entered into a unified traffic police database. If it is impossible to bring the car for inspection, registration under a single act is acceptable.

Registration of a car for leasing

Wanting to reduce one-time costs, legal entities purchase cars on lease. In this case, the registration procedure will be slightly different. The vehicle continues to be owned by the lessor. The law allows a legal entity to register a car in its name, but only if there is an appropriate agreement. It must be in writing.

Paragraph 52 of Order No. 605 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation states that registration in this situation will be temporary. It is valid until the end of the lease agreement. If the car is bought back, it will need to be registered again. The registration process does not differ significantly. If a person applies to the traffic police, the list of papers will need to be supplemented with a leasing agreement. If the application is submitted online, when going to the State Services portal you will need to select the item Registration of a car for a limited period (Leasing, subleasing, temporary import).

Execution of a power of attorney when registering a car with the traffic police by a legal entity

The procedure for registering a car on behalf of a legal entity can be performed by its owner. This is usually someone from the company's management with appropriate authority. However, in practice, rights can be transferred to another citizen. In this case, a power of attorney is issued to register the car. The paperwork is completed at the notary office. This will require a verbal statement. The notary will provide a document containing the following items:

date and place of drawing up the power of attorney;
who transfers the right to a third party, and on what basis;

detailed characteristics of the car;

Nuances

The requirement to register a car by the company is not always met. A legal entity may be denied the procedure based on the following reasons:

Parts and components were replaced on a used car, and their numbers were not included in the title. There is a discrepancy. All adjustments must be declared. To make changes you will have to pay a state fee. The car will be registered when all discrepancies are eliminated.
The ban on re-registration was imposed by bailiffs. This happens if the previous owner has a debt. It is better to check in advance for possible restrictions or the presence of an arrest. The action can be performed on the traffic police website. However, if the situation has already arisen, the removal of the encumbrance should be handled by the previous owner of the car. A representative of the legal entity must contact him.
The deadline for contacting the authorized body has been violated. A fine of up to RUB 2,000 will be imposed on the person. First you will need to pay the debt and only then contact the authorized body to register the car.
