Revealed: Car Pricing Details Unveiled
The Russian Ministry of Finance has proposed significant changes to the fees associated with obtaining driver's licenses and vehicle registration certificates, as reported by both "Live Kuban" and "Izvestia" newspapers. These changes, if approved, are set to take effect in September 2025.
According to the draft law, the fees for driver's licenses are expected to increase, although the exact amounts have yet to be detailed. Foreigners residing in Russia may need to retake theoretical exams when exchanging foreign driver's licenses for Russian ones, which could potentially influence associated costs.
In terms of vehicle registration fees, the cost for vehicle registration certificates is likely to rise starting in September 2025, but the specific figures or percentage increases have not been explicitly provided. The trend of fee increases for state services related to documentation, such as migration documents, suggests a possible rise in costs for vehicle registration certificates as part of government policy adjustments on state duties.
The fee for issuing state license plates for cars in Russia will increase from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles. The fee for a certificate of conformity of a vehicle with safety requirements will increase from 1,500 to 4,500 rubles. The fee for registering plates on trailers and motorcycles will rise from 1,500 to 2,250 rubles. The fee for a plastic vehicle registration certificate will increase from 1,500 to 4,500 rubles.
The Ministry of Finance has not specified why these changes are being proposed. The proposed changes are yet to be discussed at a government commission meeting.
