What equipment is registered with state technical supervision?

Tractors and self-propelled machines are subject to registration with the State Technical Supervision Authority . Including:

• snowmobiles;
• ATVs;
• all-terrain vehicles;
• loaders;
• excavators.

1. These Rules determine the procedure for state registration of self-propelled vehicles (tractors, self-propelled road-building machines, municipal, agricultural vehicles, off-road motor vehicles and other land-based trackless mechanical vehicles with an internal combustion engine with a volume of over 50 cubic centimeters or an electric motor with a maximum power of more than 4 kilowatts (except for ground-based self-propelled devices of categories “L”, “M”, “N” on wheels with an engine power (engines) of more than 4 kilowatts or with a maximum design speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour, intended for the transport of people, cargo or equipment, installed on them, as well as trailers (semi-trailers) for them and vehicles, self-propelled vehicles, military, special and other types of equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military formations and bodies, experimental (test) samples of weapons, military and special equipment , including those related in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on military-technical cooperation with foreign states to military products), for which passports of self-propelled vehicles and other types of equipment are issued (electronic passports of self-propelled vehicles and other types of equipment), and other types of equipment (trailers (semi-trailers) of self-propelled vehicles), for which passports of self-propelled vehicles and other types of equipment are issued (electronic passports of self-propelled vehicles and other types of equipment) (hereinafter referred to as equipment).

This paragraph states that vehicles whose engine meets one of the following conditions are registered with the State Technical Supervision Authority:

• volume more than 50 cubic meters centimeters (for internal combustion engines);
• engine power more than 4 kilowatts (for electric motors).

Note. Buses, cars and trucks are registered not with Gostekhnadzor, but with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. Registration with the traffic police is discussed in a separate article.

What do you need to drive a trailer?

To drive a trailer, you must have a driver's license that allows you to drive this vehicle and registration documents for the trailer. After completing the trailer registration procedure, it is necessary to attach the issued license plates of the state in which the registration took place.

Before leaving a vehicle with a trailer, it is necessary to check its condition, in particular the brake system and hitch. The tail lights must work.

Where can I register a tractor or self-propelled machine?

8. State registration of equipment is carried out by the state technical supervision body at the place of application of the owner of the equipment, regardless of the place of registration of the individual, individual entrepreneur or location of the legal entity that owns the equipment, within one constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Unlike cars, which can be registered at any traffic police department in the country, self-propelled vehicles can only be registered in the region where its owner lives (individual) or is located (legal entity). At the same time, within the region, you can select any department of Gostekhnadzor that deals with vehicle registration.

How long does it take to register a self-propelled vehicle?

5. The owner of the equipment is obliged to register it or change the registration data with the state technical supervision authorities during the validity period of the state registration mark “TRANSIT” or within 10 calendar days from the date of release of the equipment for free circulation in accordance with the law of the Eurasian Economic Union and the legislation of the Russian Federation on customs regulation, either from the date of issue of the equipment passport (for equipment not subject to customs declaration), or from the date of temporary importation of equipment into the territory of the Russian Federation for a period of more than 6 months, or from the date of acquisition of the rights of the owner of the equipment, deregistration, replacement of numbered units or the occurrence of other circumstances that required changing registration data.

You must register a tractor or self-propelled machine within 10 days from the date of purchase.

How to register a tractor - procedure for completing the procedure

Registration of an existing tractor must be carried out strictly according to the procedure specified in the Legislation.

To register an agricultural machine, its owner should proceed in the following order:

1. Immediately after purchasing an agricultural machine, you must contact an employee of the insurance company and obtain a compulsory motor liability insurance policy, if necessary;
2. After this, you need to obtain all the documents listed above and contact representatives of the registration department;
3. Then, using the provided sample, you need to fill out an application from the tractor owner;
4. Next, you will need to undergo a technical inspection of the tractor - it must be completed and confirmed by a civil service employee;
5. After this, all available documents must be submitted to perform further registration actions;
6. During the registration process, Gostekhnadzor employees carefully check the papers they receive and determine whether there are any restrictions on driving the unit. If, upon receipt by a Gostechnadzor employee, any document is missing, or an inaccuracy was found in one of them, the civil service employee has every right to refuse to accept the papers;
7. In accordance with the Legislation, you can submit the collected documents for registration not only in person, but also through the service portal on the Internet.

All these tractor registration rules are necessary, first of all, in order to satisfy the request of the higher registration authorities. Without their permission, the local Gostekhnadzor service will not receive confirmation to provide registration data to the owner of the agricultural machine.

What documents are needed for registration?

For state registration of equipment, the following documents are submitted:

Obtaining rights

Unlike motorists who resolve issues with a driver's license and registering a car with the traffic police, tractor owners must contact Gostekhnadzor, which is a structural unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, to obtain a license, as well as during registration.

Tractor driver's (tractor) driver's license

To have the right to legally drive your own tractor, you need to obtain a tractor driver's license. To do this, you must undergo a medical commission, training and pass an exam.

Medical examination

If for health reasons you can drive a tractor, then after a medical examination you will be given Form 083, with which you should contact Gostekhnadzor.

Medical certificate form 083

Education

The course of study is the main point in obtaining a license. The price of the issue today is determined by the amount of approximately 20 thousand rubles. The training program consists of mastering special topics:

• technical device of the tractor
• safe driving techniques
• providing emergency assistance in case of an accident.

Upon completion of studies, the student is issued a certificate of completion of training, which is admission to take the exam. You can, of course, turn to private institutions for training, but you should first ask whether the training organization has a state license to issue a certificate of completion of a special course. Without a certificate of the established form, you will not be allowed to take the exam.

! The only exception: it is allowed to pass the exam without formal training when obtaining a tractor driver’s license for categories “A1” and “B”. Self-study is allowed to open these categories.

Categories and subcategories

The rights of a tractor driver vary depending on the power, purpose and design features of the equipment.

Types of categories and subcategories of rights

Age limit

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, age restrictions are provided for when obtaining rights to operate self-propelled equipment:

Exam

Having completed the training and received a certificate, you can contact the Gostekhnadzor inspection to take the exam, which consists of 3 parts:

• Practical – driving skills on site and in real conditions.
• Theoretical – safety precautions, traffic rules. If you have a driving licence, you will not need to take this part of the test and this should be communicated to you in advance when training.
• Providing medical care.

After successfully passing the exam, you can contact the Spetsgostekhnadzor to obtain a tractor driver’s license within the selected category. In addition, the license will indicate a rank that opens up various levels of access to operating special equipment. The decision on the rank is made by the examiner.

Rights

To obtain rights, you must submit the following documents:

• Application in the prescribed form.
• Personal passport.
• Card about passing exams.
• Photo 3x4 (2 copies).

You should know that the rights of a tractor driver are valid only on the territory of the Russian Federation, unlike automobile rights.

Restoration of rights

A tractor driver's license is issued for 10 years. If your license has expired, you should contact Gostekhnadzor to replace your license. The same situation applies to lost documents; an application is submitted to obtain the certificate again.

How to submit documents for registration to Gostekhnadzor?

7. The application of the owner of the equipment or his representative for state registration of the equipment and the documents attached to it can be submitted by the owner of the equipment or his representative personally to the state technical supervision body.

The specified application and documents can be submitted by the owner of the equipment or his representative to the state technical supervision body using the federal state information system “Unified portal of state and municipal services (functions)” and (or) regional portals of state and municipal services (hereinafter referred to as the Unified Portal) and signed using a simple electronic signature key without the need to submit such an application in another form. The state technical supervision body informs the applicant about the progress of the service through notifications in the personal account on the Unified Portal.

The rules offer 2 options for submitting an application to Gostekhnadzor:

• in person;
• in electronic form through State Services.

Transporting a tractor

The appearance and purpose of tractors have changed greatly over the past decades. To deliver small agricultural machinery to the work site, you can use conventional freight transport.

Transporting a tractor

However, there are often cases when you have to move large tractors from the garage and back over long distances. Since the tractor's own speed is relatively low, it may take too long to move. In such cases, special cargo transport is used - trawls with a low-loading platform.

Low bed platform

A transportation route is being developed and the necessary documents are being drawn up to ensure safe movement:

• Waybill for following the route.
• Consignment note.
• Agreement with the carrier organization for the provision of services.
• Registration documents for the tractor.

State fees for registration with Gostekhnadzor in 2022

Article 333.33 of Part 2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation provides for the following state duties:

For example, if you register a new tractor with Gostekhnadzor, you will have to pay 3 fees: 1,500 + 350 + 500 = 2,350 rubles .

Note. Until January 1, 2023, you can pay these fees through the government services portal with a 30% discount. In this case, the fee will be 1,645 rubles .

Is a vehicle inspection required during registration?

63. When state registration of equipment, changes in registration data, issuance of certificates of state registration of equipment to replace lost or unusable equipment, duplicates of equipment passports, owners are required to present the equipment for inspection in order to check the compliance of the main components of the equipment with registration data.

When submitting an application for state registration of equipment or to make changes to the registration data of equipment in the form given in Appendix No. 1 or 2 to these Rules, using the Unified Portal, the place and time of inspection are chosen by the applicant independently, but no later than the expiration of the mandatory period for state registration of equipment specified in paragraph 5 of these Rules.

Inspection of tractors and self-propelled machines is mandatory in all cases when Gostekhnadzor issues documents for the specified equipment.

The inspection is carried out even when the owner of the tractor does not change and only the issuance of a duplicate of the lost document is required.

20. Inspection of equipment is carried out by a state engineer-inspector of the state technical supervision body at the place of filing the application for state registration of equipment or the location of the equipment, and in the case of inspection of a group of equipment - at the location of the equipment.

When inspecting equipment, it is identified and verified that there are no signs of alteration, concealment, or destruction of the factory identification number of the equipment or the number of the main component of the equipment.

When inspecting equipment, the compliance of its design with the submitted documents is checked, and, if necessary, the compliance of changes made in the design of the equipment with documents on the compliance of the equipment with the changes made in its design with safety requirements is checked.

Upon completion of the inspection of the equipment, a note about its result is included in the application for state registration of the equipment. The validity period of the equipment inspection results is 30 calendar days from the date of its conduct.

Inspection of equipment can be carried out either by Gostekhnadzor authorities . or at the location of the equipment. Naturally, in the second case, you should contact Gostekhnadzor in advance and agree with the inspector on the time and place of inspection of the tractor or self-propelled machine.

During the inspection, the Gostekhnadzor employee checks:

• VIN - number and engine number;
• that the design of the equipment corresponds to the submitted documents (there are no design changes);

The inspection results are valid for 30 days . During this time, the owner must contact Gostekhnadzor to register and obtain numbers.

How to exchange old rights for new ones?

Since 2014, the appearance of the certificates has changed somewhat, as changes were made at the legislative level. They are a plastic card, which is very convenient because it does not bend.

Important! It is not necessary to renew your old driver's license with a new one!

New driver's license

You can replace your certificate without taking the exam if:

• Theft;
• Loss;
• The document has expired;
• There has been damage that causes the document to look inappropriate;
• Changes in driver qualifications or related to the vehicle;
• The driver's health has changed. The basis is a medical certificate issued by the medical commission.

The exchange procedure itself is not complicated. It is enough to contact Gostekhnadzor, where the certificate was received earlier. It is important to consider that you can renew your license and replace it only if you have a document that confirms the driver’s qualifications and that all the necessary exams have been passed previously.

What documents are drawn up when registering with Gostekhnadzor?

18. When state registration of equipment (amending registration data, deregistration of equipment) in the equipment passport (in the absence of electronic passports of equipment) in the cases provided for by these Rules, the state technical supervision authorities make appropriate notes about the state registration of equipment (amending the registration data, deregistration of equipment).

If there are no records in the equipment passport about the owner, his address, or the date of sale (transfer), during the state registration of the equipment, the state technical supervision body fills out these lines on the basis of documents submitted by the owner of the equipment confirming ownership of the equipment. ... 21. When carrying out state registration of equipment that is not related to the termination of state registration or deregistration after disposal of equipment, the state technical supervision body issues a certificate of state registration of equipment to the owner of the equipment or his representative in the form in accordance with Appendix No. 3.

Entries in state registration certificates and equipment passports are made using printing devices. The certificate of state registration of equipment in the form of an electronic document is subject to certification by an enhanced qualified electronic signature. When submitting an application for state registration of equipment using the Unified Portal, a certificate of state registration of equipment is sent to the applicant’s personal account on the Unified Portal. At the request of the applicant, a certificate of state registration of equipment, in addition to the electronic document, can be issued on paper by the state technical supervision authority. ... 34. State registration of equipment is accompanied by the assignment of a state registration number to the equipment - an individual alphanumeric designation assigned to the equipment by the state technical supervision body, and the issuance of a state registration plate in accordance with GOST R 50577-2018 “National Standard of the Russian Federation. State registration signs of vehicles. Types and main sizes. Technical requirements". … 36. The issuance of state registration plates is carried out in accordance with the codes of the regions of the Russian Federation and the assigned series of state registration plates provided for in Appendices No. 4 and 5.

As a result of a visit to Gostekhnadzor, the owner of a tractor or self-propelled machine must be issued :

• passport of the vehicle to which changes have been made;
• certificate of registration of equipment;
• plate with number.

Unlike cars, a registration certificate can be issued electronically . In this case, at the request of the owner, an additional paper certificate may be issued.

As for vehicle numbers, their assignment has certain features. Unlike cars, which are issued all series of numbers within one region, Gostekhnazdor issues in each region only numbers of certain series, assigned in the application.

For example, in the Tula region (region 71) they can issue numbers of the 3 series TA, TV, TE, TM, TN, TO, TU, TX.

Do I need a driver's license for MTZ 80/MTZ 82

The answer to this question may seem strange, but no. And this confuses many people. A driver's license or driver's license for MTZ 80 and 82 is not required - to drive a tractor and other agricultural machinery you must obtain a UTM, or a tractor driver's license.

From the point of view of legislation, the UTM is not a driver’s license, although in its purpose a tractor driver’s license is similar to a traditional car license.

Further in the article, when talking about what category of rights to MTZ 80 and 82 should be, we will have in mind exactly the UTM and its categories.

Which group does MTZ 80/MTZ 82 fall into?

In what category do you get a license for an MTZ 80 or 82 tractor? These Belarusians fall under the category of tractor and self-propelled equipment. This group included special vehicles equipped with an engine and used to perform the following types of work:

• agricultural;
• construction;
• road;
• transport;
• earthmoving and land management;
• communal;
• industrial.

Obtaining rights to MTZ 80 or 82 in this category is quite logical, because all vehicles that fall under the criteria listed above are united by low speed, high traction power and the presence of working equipment.

The group of tractor and self-propelled equipment includes not only wheeled but also tracked vehicles.

In what cases does a tractor need to be deregistered?

49. Owners are required to remove equipment from state registration in the event of:

• termination of ownership of equipment;
• write-off (disposal) of equipment;
• export of equipment from the Russian Federation, with the exception of cases of temporary export.

Please note that equipment is deregistered even if it is sold or donated.

51. Removal from state registration of equipment in the event of its alienation is carried out by the state technical supervision body on the basis of an application from the previous owner of the equipment to remove equipment from state registration in the forms given in Appendices No. 1 and 2 to these Rules, with the attachment of identification documents of the applicant, documents confirming the conclusion of the transaction , aimed at alienating equipment, equipment passports, state registration plates and certificates of state registration of equipment, provided there is no confirmation of the state registration of the equipment for the new owner.

When equipment is removed from state registration due to its write-off (disposal), no inspection is carried out.

An application from the previous owner of the equipment to remove the equipment from state registration can be submitted using the Unified Portal and signed with a simple electronic signature without the need to submit such an application in another form.

Clause 51 of the registration rules, which talks about deregistration of equipment upon sale, raises certain questions. It is not clear from the text at what point deregistration is required.

On the one hand, the list of required documents includes a document concluding a transaction (purchase and sale agreement) and technical documents (passport, registration certificate). That is, it turns out that the equipment must be deregistered immediately after the conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement, but before its transfer to the new owner.

On the other hand, the paragraph states that deregistration is carried out subject to the absence of confirmation of registration for the new owner. From this part it follows that after purchasing the equipment, the new owner can pick up all the documents and register it himself.

Alexander sold the tractor to Boris on January 10, 2022. They agreed that Boris would register the equipment himself. On January 15, 2022, Alexander learned that Boris had not registered the equipment and had no intention of doing so. Alexander wants to contact Gostekhnadzor to deregister the tractor, but he cannot do this, because documents and numbers were transferred to the buyer.

In general, this point raises questions, because It is not clear what the situation must be in order to apply it.

Responsibility for late registration of equipment

Measures that can be applied to the owner of such vehicles who have not had time to properly register them with Gostekhnadzor are listed in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Article 19.22. The fine for late registration will depend on the status of the owner:

• 1-1.5 thousand rubles for individuals;
• 2-3.5 thousand rubles for officials;
• 5-10 thousand rubles for legal entities.

To avoid this type of problem, it is necessary to begin the registration process immediately after purchasing the tractor, since the procedure in some cases can last up to 5 days or more.

The need to register a unit, the ownership of which was acquired by acquisitive prescription, arises after the court decision on its appropriation comes into force.

How to move equipment to another region?

It was discussed above that the previous owner can stop registering a self-propelled vehicle, and the new owner must register it in his own name. However, the situation becomes more complicated if the equipment is purchased in a “foreign” region and needs to be transported. In this case, the buyer needs to obtain transit numbers :

43. For equipment transported to the place of registration from organizations that manufacture this equipment and trade organizations, state registration plates “TRANSIT” are issued by these organizations after they are received by the state technical supervision authority at the location of these organizations.

For equipment transported to the place of registration by its owners, state registration plates “TRANSIT” are issued by state technical supervision authorities at the place of application of the owner of the equipment.

Transit numbers for transportation to the place of registration can be obtained from any department of Gostekhnadzor in any region.

Licenses and other documents for the tractor

Owners know very well that any equipment, be it a bicycle, a coffee grinder, a car, a vacuum cleaner or a walk-behind tractor, must have a certain document - a registration certificate. The more complex the equipment you purchased, the greater the requirements for its registration, management, and obtaining other permits.

Tractor

We will tell you about preparing the necessary documents for the tractor. In order to legally use a self-propelled machine, two conditions must be met: obtain documents for the tractor itself and obtain a license to drive it.
