How to register a car in Moscow through the MFC, instructions for registering a vehicle in the Multifunctional Center

According to Russian Government Decree No. 1215, from August 29, 2020, a new type of service will appear in the multifunctional center. At the MFC, motorists will be able to register their vehicle without visiting the MREO. Now there is no need to stand in lines for long hours, or go to another part of the city to register your car. With a new type of service, it is enough to come to the MFC, of which there may be several in the city, with a convenient location and comfortable work schedule. Despite the advantages that seem at first glance, this issue has its own nuances. Let's look at them in more detail.

Registration and deregistration of a car through the MFC

A frequent question from motorists: “Is it possible to register or deregister a car through the MFC?” Experts note that such a service is not provided at the MFC. This is due to the fact that during registration the car is inspected by a traffic police officer.

With an MFC employee, a citizen can make an appointment with the traffic police at a time convenient for him, get advice on any issue that interests him, fill out an application correctly, and have his driver’s license restored or replaced. The last action is performed when the driver has successfully passed the test and is not deprived of his driving license.

To make an appointment with the traffic police through the MFC, the car owner needs to do the following:

make an appointment with a center employee;
collect a package of required papers;
come to the center on the appointed day;
Fill out the registration application together with the employee. It can be filled out in paper or electronic form;
select the day, time and date of the traffic police visit;
on the appointed day, by car and with the required package of documents, arrive at the appropriate service;
Then the vehicle is inspected by a traffic police officer and changes are made to the documents for the car.

Through which MFCs can I register?

It’s no joke, but practically it was possible to register a car in Russia through a multifunctional center for a long time. But not everywhere. Thus, the registration service was provided in Moscow and Kazan 2 years ago.

By the way, nothing has changed for 2021. We indicated above that in order to be able to re-register, traffic police officers must work at the MFC, and the center itself must be equipped with an inspection platform with equipment for this, and also have a connection to the database of license plates for assigning them. Currently, only a few institutions have such a basis. And here is their complete list as of the date of writing:

MFC in Moscow, Presnenskaya embankment, 2 (Afimall City shopping center, 1st floor) - here you can register a car, as well as deregister it,
Moscow, Novoyasenevsky prospect. 1 (Shopping center "Spectrum", 3rd floor),
Moscow, st. Kirovogradskaya, 13A, (Columbus shopping center),
MFC in Kazan on Pobedy Avenue.

You can find out whether it is possible to register a car in a multifunctional institution in your city by simply typing in the search something like “MFC [your city] registration.”

So, now let's look directly at the procedure for re-registration of a car!

How a car is registered or deregistered through State Services

Registration of a car with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate through Gosuslugi begins with the creation of a personal account. This procedure will take a few minutes. Next you need to do the following:

In the list of popular ones, click on the “Vehicle registration with the State Traffic Inspectorate” tab.
Next, the user chooses: he registers a new one, re-registers an already purchased vehicle to a new owner, or deregisters it.
He then selects the type of vehicle to be registered, the placeholder status. If the legal representative of the owner is filling out the application, a notarized power of attorney must be presented.
Then fill in the “Personal data” column. The system copies basic information from the user’s personal account. If the required information is not found or it is entered incorrectly, the user must enter it into the fields independently.
Next, enter the applicant’s place of residence.
Then information about the vehicle is entered. Remember that if the user receives new numbers to replace the old ones, then the corresponding checkbox is placed in the column. Old numbers are entered in the lower field. If the registration plates are changed to new ones, then you will need to pay 2,000 rubles for their re-registration. If a person does not change numbers, then you need to check the “Not required” box.
Next, the owner decides whether he needs to issue a new PTS or correct the old document. Remember that when registering a new PTS you will need to pay 800 rubles. If the passport remains the same, but changes will be made to it, you will have to pay 350 rubles.
Then you need to specify the vehicle type. If a passenger car is registered, then this is category “B”.
Next, enter the VIN number of the vehicle. The chassis number is not indicated in the application.
Then we enter the make, model, production date, type, engine number, color of the car. Other information is recorded voluntarily.
In the columns “Name of registration document”, “Data from insurance policy” information is entered by the user voluntarily.
Next, select the traffic police department. Remember that the procedure is carried out at the regional office.
When the applicant has chosen a department, the system will independently offer him a date of visit.
Next, the applicant in the section “Select the type of receipt. Then he clicks on the appropriate button and submits the application.

The owner of the car must pay a state fee before going to the traffic police. Attach the receipt to the package of papers. If it is not there, then further registration is not possible.

How long does it take to register a car?

As of 2021, the deadline for registration - regardless of whether you do it through the MFC or the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate - is 10 days, according to the new Federal Law on Registration (clause 3 of Article 8). This period is counted from the date of emergence of ownership rights - that is, it must be counted from the next day after the date that you indicated in the purchase and sale agreement.

For violating this duty, you may face as many as 3 penalties:

for driving an unregistered car – 500-800 rubles (Part 1 of Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation),
if you are caught again for the same violation - deprivation of rights for 1-3 months or a fine of 5,000 rubles (part 1.1 of the same article),
and another fine of 1,500-2,000 rubles for the very fact of missing a deadline (not related to management) under Part 1 of Article 19.22 of the Administrative Code.

An important subtlety should be noted here regarding missing this deadline through no fault of your own. The fact is that very often - especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg - when registering directly with the traffic police or through State Services, free dates for application fall out much later, when the 10-day period has already passed. Formally, this is a violation, although in the absence of guilt you cannot be fined for skipping, but in practice in 2021 you are still fined.

So, with a more expensive car registration at the MFC due to the lack of a discount on state fees, this is precisely the advantage of multifunctional centers - most often your car will be re-registered on the day you apply, and you will not miss the 10-day period allotted for re-registration. That is, by deciding not to save on duties, you can save on fines, the size of which is higher.

State duty

Remember that if a person fills out an application for admission to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and pays the fee via the Internet, then he receives a 30% discount.

The amount of the state fee for registering a car in 2021 depends on the type of service provided. It is as follows:

Service Amount in rubles We register a car, change the previous license plates and get new ones 2850 We re-register a vehicle, keep the old license plates 850 We register a trailer, motorcycle 1850 We record new information in the old vehicle title 850 We enter new information in the old vehicle passport 350 We receive an old vehicle title with new information 500

What should you do before contacting the center?

Moreover, this must be done not only when applying to the MFC for re-registration services, but also directly to the traffic police.

Buy a compulsory motor liability insurance policy - without it, the car will not be registered at the MFC, and the seller’s policy will not suit you for this.
Prepare a comprehensive list of documents – we will provide it below.
Check the car for a registration ban on the official website of the traffic police - if there is one, you will be denied the service. We provided instructions for such verification in a special article.

Vehicle registration period and fine

Remember that a person buying a new vehicle is obliged to re-register it within 10 days after handing over the keys to him. If this is not done on time, then the previous owner may write a statement to the police about the theft of his car, and it will be returned to him.

You should also know that if the applicant has filled out an application at the MFC or on the State Services website, then he can register the car with the traffic police in 1 hour.

In this period:

The information recorded in the application is verified. This takes 20 minutes;
A traffic police officer inspects a vehicle. This will take 20 minutes;
The traffic policeman makes a positive or negative decision. You are given 10 minutes to think;
registration ends with the issuance of a registration certificate and new license plates. This procedure takes 10 minutes.

If a person does not register a new car on time, he will have to pay a late fee. Its size depends on who owns it:

Rules for buying and selling a car 2020

Free legal consultation
The main innovation was the absence of the requirement to deregister a vehicle in order to sell it. Now you can sell a car by drawing up a sales contract without contacting the traffic police and without obtaining a TRANSIT registration plate.

Moreover, notarial or legal confirmation of the drawn up agreement is not required. Contacting the traffic police will be necessary only if the car seller wishes to keep the previous license plates in order to install them later on a new car.

The process of buying a car has also been significantly simplified: now you can register it at any regional branch of the traffic police, regardless of the buyer’s place of residence or temporary stay.

At the same time, you can keep your old registration plates and therefore be exempt from having to pay state duty for new license plates.

If the new owner does not contact the traffic police within 10 days to make changes to the registration data, then the previous owner of the vehicle has the right to write an application to the traffic police to terminate the registration.

So, in accordance with the new rules, when selling or buying a car you do not need to:

Deregister a vehicle;
Contact a lawyer or notary to confirm the contract for the purchase and sale of a car;
Receive transit numbers;
Register a car at your place of residence;
It is mandatory to change license plates.

Reasons for refusal

Traffic police officers often refuse to register a vehicle. There are good reasons for this:

The owner filled out the application incorrectly or provided incorrect information.
The car is heavily modeled, new items violate traffic rules and create an emergency situation for other road users.
The car has undergone changes that contradict the papers issued for it.
The traffic police officer discovered that the VIN number of the car was fake.
The car was stolen and is wanted.
The owner does not have insurance on the car. Insurance is issued and the papers are submitted again.
The car is secured by a bank or other credit institution. Nothing can be done with it without permission from the relevant organization.
The owner did not pay the recycling fee, there are no characteristic marks in the title.
The frame and other parts of the vehicle have been heavily modified, so it is impossible to identify the vehicle by number.
The owner has not paid the state duty.
The vehicle title has expired. The owner receives new papers for the car and re-registers it.
There were a lot of blots, cross-outs, and erases on the paper application form for registration; the form was filled out with a simple pencil. The applicant corrects the inaccuracies and resubmits the papers.

Thus, if a person has collected the papers, familiarized himself with the procedure for registering a car in advance, and booked the date and time of a visit to the traffic police, then registering the car will be quick and stress-free for him.

How to register?

So, first of all, you need to choose the branch of the MFC where it is possible to register a car for 2021. Even if you find such a center on the Internet, it is better to call and clarify the possibility of registering a vehicle.
Next, you come to the MFC with the necessary set of documents and money, where you submit them to an open window in order of priority.
An employee of the center registers your application, enters it into the database and transfers the documents to the MREO inspector at the multifunctional institution.
This will be followed by an inspection of the vehicle at the site for compliance with the Basic Provisions for Admission to Participation in Road Traffic.
Finally, after the entire procedure, you are given a new STS (pink plastic certificate) and optionally assigned a new license plate number. If you have just been assigned plates, and the MFC does not produce them here, you will need to contact the appropriate point - please note that driving a car without registration plates after they have been assigned is no longer allowed.

As you can see, the procedure is quite simple. The most difficult thing in your case, most likely, will be to find an MFC that has a basis for registering cars: traffic police officers working there and an inspection site.

Disadvantages of the method

If you decide to register a vehicle with the traffic police through the MFC, select the appropriate branch in advance and check whether it provides the service. The only drawback of this method of registering a vehicle is the duration. By contacting the MREO directly, the car owner will receive the service on the same day; the procedure, according to current rules, should not take more than an hour.

The multifunctional center is only an intermediary between the citizen and the State Traffic Inspectorate. Employees cannot inspect vehicles and make changes to a single automated database. They accept documents and transfer them to the traffic police, and inspectors inspect the car. The driver will have to visit the department twice. The processing time for STS in Moscow is up to 9 days after submitting the application.

The purpose of registering a car

Those planning to switch to personal transport need to know the timing and features of registering a car. The registration process with the State Traffic Inspectorate is strictly mandatory for all citizens without exception who have their own vehicle equipped with engines - a car, boat, small motorcycle or airplane.

Important! Such facilities use public air, road and sea routes and must be given special consideration.

Registration assigns a car to a person and allows you to effectively track it in the event of theft or an emergency if the driver decides to flee the scene.

Registering a car with the traffic police is a mandatory process.

Before describing the accounting process in detail, it is important to take into account certain rules and some changes that have been made at the official level to the general regulatory framework over the past year. Here are the most basic of them:

After the car is transferred to another owner, accounting is assigned to the new owner. Nothing is required from the previous owner; now there is no need to remove the car from official registration before the sale.
Registration is permitted at the traffic police department.
Car owners are not tied to their registration address in any way. Registration is carried out in any city.
The new owner of the car independently manages the received license plates - he can leave the old ones or replace them with updated ones.
During the registration process, the car body number, VIN category and digital indicator on the chassis are checked.

To significantly speed up the operation, drivers are encouraged to use the electronic queue. After submitting the application, the car owner is assigned a day and hour when he needs to come and submit a package of required documents.

Registration fee

Prices for conducting accounting operations vary, everything directly depends on the total amount of established state duties. In 2019, the following cost of procedures is established:

Room decoration – 2000 rub.
Registration of license plates for rural tractors, modern motorcycles and trailers - 1,500 rubles.
Receiving a PTS in your hands – 800 rubles.
Making certain changes to a car’s passport – 350 rubles.
Registration and subsequent issuance of STS to the driver - 500 rubles.

The total amount of the machine's accounting operation will depend on which of the services provided are required to solve the problem. Some already have PTS and STS, so you won’t have to pay for their registration. Others do not need to reissue signs, which further reduces the amount of state duty.

List of documents

If you decide to contact a multifunctional center, prepare a standard package of documents. Please note that the set of papers for individuals and legal entities is different.

For individuals

When contacting the MREO, the vehicle owner or his authorized representative provides:

Sales contract, deed of gift or other proof of ownership
Receipt confirming payment of government fees

If registration actions are performed by an authorized person, a general power of attorney (notarized) is required.

For organizations

As a rule, the interests of an enterprise are represented in the traffic police by an employee or a third party vested with such authority. Please note that the power of attorney to perform registration actions is certified by the seal of the enterprise and the signature of the manager; notarization is not required.

To register a car with the traffic police through the Multifunctional Center, a legal entity needs:

Statement
Power of attorney
Representative ID
Payment order

Vehicles purchased on lease can be registered in the name of the user, if this does not contradict the terms of the leasing agreement. Registration will be temporary; after paying the full cost of the vehicle, the user company must again contact the MREO and re-register it.

Fines for failure to register a car

Responsibility for late registration of a car is exclusively administrative in nature and is imposed in the form of a fine. The penalty applies to owners of cars of all categories. Currently, the following fines are provided:

Individuals – 1500-2000 rubles.
Legal entities – 5000-10000 rubles.
Officials - 2000-3500 rubles.

If a police officer records the fact that an unregistered vehicle is being operated, he will issue a fine of 500 to 800 rubles. This penalty must be paid along with the main penalty due for lack of registration. In case of repeated violation, the person will be given a fine of 5,000 rubles and possible deprivation of his driver’s license for a period of 1 to 3 months.

After a recorded violation, the driver is given a certain time to register and pay the required penalties. If after this the car is not registered, the amount of the fine automatically doubles, and the driver himself can be detained for up to 15 days.
