Application for GIBDD. or in the IREO office begins with the payment of the state fee for the issuance of a new form of PTS instead of the lost. The amount of payment is strictly regulated by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and depends on whether it is necessary to issue a new paper document or it is enough to make changes to existing databases. In 2026, the cost of issuing a paper passport of a vehicle is 800 rubles, and the issuance of an electronic PTS (EPTS) or making changes to the current document costs 350 rubles.
The owner of the car should clearly distinguish between the concepts of “replacement” and “recovery”, since the final amount of expenses depends on the legal qualification of the procedure. If the physical form is lost, but the data in the system is relevant, most often it is a duplicate that is equated to the issuance of a new document. Ignoring the need for payment or trying to use old details can lead to the refusal of the inspector to accept documents.
The process of restoration of documentation for the car requires not only financial costs, but also the collection of a certain package of papers confirming the ownership and identity of the applicant. State fee for loss of PTS is a mandatory fiscal fee, without a receipt for payment of which the administrative procedure will not be launched. It is important to note that the details may vary depending on the region of registration of the vehicle and the specific traffic police unit where you plan to contact.

Late application for replacement of the lost passport of the vehicle may entail administrative liability. The legislation sets clear deadlines for notifying authorities of loss of documents and obtaining new forms. Violation of these standards is considered as an offense and threatens to impose penalties, the size of which may exceed the cost of the state duty itself.
Current sizes of the state duty in 2026This year, the tariffs for the issuance of documents to the traffic police remain stable, but car owners should be careful when choosing the type of document to be restored. The main payment that will have to be made in case of complete loss of the paper form is 800 rubles. This amount is fixed in Article 333.33 of the Tax Code and is valid throughout the territory of the Russian Federation.
If the owner decides to move to EPTS (e-passport of the vehicle) or if the lost document was already electronic, and only an extract from the system or changes are required, the cost of the service is reduced. In that case, statutory and making changes to the PTS will be 350 rubles for each action, respectively. It is important to properly classify your situation so as not to overpay.

- 🔄 500 rubles - a separate tariff for issuing a new certificate of registration of the vehicle (CTC), if it was also lost.
⚠️ Attention: When paying through banking applications or terminals, make sure that the budget classification code (BKC) of your region is correctly indicated in the payment assignment. An error in one digit of the CBC can lead to the fact that the payment will “hang” on unexplained receipts, and you will have to spend time on its clarification.
It is worth noting that these amounts are fixed and do not depend on the brand of the car, the year of production or the environmental class of the vehicle. Whether it is a passenger sedan, truck or motorcycle, the rates for administrative services for issuing documents are the same for all categories of transport. An exception may be cases where additional examinations are required, but they are paid separately and are not part of the state duty.
Procedure for Loss of Vehicle PassportThe procedure for restoring a lost document begins with the recognition of the fact of loss and the decision to immediately apply to the competent authorities.

Timeline for recovery and possible finesThe legislation of the Russian Federation does not establish a strict period during which the owner is obliged to restore the lost PTS immediately after its loss. However, the operation of the vehicle without a valid registration certificate (CVC) is prohibited. Because the data in the PTS and the CTS are related, the loss of the PTS often entails the need to replace the CTS if it is modified or if it is also lost.
If you continue to drive a car with a lost PTS, but with a valid CTS, you do not formally violate traffic rules until you need to make changes to the documents (for example, a change of ownership). However, if the STS is lost, then driving such a car is equated to driving without documents, which threatens to cause a serious loss. fine of 500 rubles according to part 2 of article 12.3 of the administrative code of the Russian Federation.
A more serious problem may be the use of lost documents by third parties in fraudulent schemes. To protect yourself, it is recommended immediately after the discovery of a loss to file a complaint with the police or notify the traffic police about the fact of loss. This will enter the information into the database and render the lost form invalid.
The production time of a new PTS in the traffic police department is usually from 1 hour to 1 working day, unless additional verification is required. In difficult cases, when requests to other regions or a theft check are necessary, the period can be extended to 30 days. During this period, the car can be in a parking lot or garage storage, since without PTS and STS operation is limited.
⚠️ Attention: Do not try to hide the fact of loss of the PTS when selling the car. Transfer to the buyer of the car with the lost basic document without its official restoration is a violation. The buyer will not be able to register the car, and the transaction may be invalidated.
