Important: from January 1, 2026, the details of some departments (including the traffic police in certain regions) have changed.

1. Methods of paying state fees at Sberbank

Sberbank offers 5 main channels for paying state fees, each of which is suitable for different situations:

• 📱 Mobile application Sberbank Online - the fastest method (payment takes 5-10 minutes). Suitable for paying fees for a vehicle title, license or court, if you have the exact details.
• 💻 Personal account on the website online.sberbank.ru — an alternative to an application with similar functionality. Convenient if you need to print a receipt.
• 🏧 ATMs/terminals Sberbank - suitable if you do not have access to the Internet. Requires careful filling of details manually.
• 🏛️ Cash desk in the branch - the only option if payment is possible only in cash or operator assistance is required (for example, with complex details).
• 🔗 Through government services with a linked Sberbank card - profitable due to the 30% discount, but not available for all types of duties.

The choice of method depends on the urgency and type of duty. For example, for registering a car with the traffic police it’s more convenient to pay through government services (at a discount), and for lawsuits — through the mobile application to immediately receive payment confirmation.

Please note: when paying through Sberbank terminals or cash desks, the commission is 0–1% (depending on the type of duty), while there is no commission for government services, but there is a discount only for individuals.

2. Step-by-step instructions: how to pay state duty through Sberbank Online

Let's look at the process using the example of paying a fee for registration of the vehicle with the traffic police (size - 2,000 rubles). Similar steps are suitable for paying fees to the court, registry office or Federal Tax Service.

Step 1. Log in to the mobile application or website online.sberbank.ru. Go to section "Payments" → “Government services and budget payments” → "Staff Police" (or other department).

Step 2. Select the fee type. For the traffic police this could be:

• 🚗 Vehicle registration (RUB 2,000)
• 📄 Replacement of PTS (800 rub.)
• 👮 Renewal of a driver’s license (RUB 2,000)

Step 3. Fill in the recipient's details. For the traffic police it is:

• 📌 UFC by region (for example, “UFK for Moscow, Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service of Russia No. 1 for Moscow”)
• 📌 INN/KPP (check on the traffic police website of your region)
• 📌 KBK (budget classification code - for vehicle registration this is 18811601011011000110)
• 📌 OKTMO (territory code - depends on the region)

Step 4. Enter the fee amount and confirm the payment with the code from SMS. The receipt can be saved as PDF or sent by email.

⚠️

Attention: If you pay duty for another person (for example, for a relative), indicate his full name in the “Payer” field. Otherwise, the payment may not be verified by the department.

3. Payment of state fees through government services with a 30% discount

Since 2019 on the portal gosuslugi.ru There is a 30% discount on state fees for many services, including:

• 🚘 Vehicle registration with the traffic police
• 📝 Replacement driver's license
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Registration of marriage or birth of a child

To take advantage of the discount:

1. Login to gosuslugi.ru and select the desired service.
2. Fill out the application and wait for payment notification.
3. Pay the fee with a bank card (including Sberbank) — the discount will be applied automatically.

⚠️

Attention: The discount does not apply to duties for lawsuits, notarial acts and some types of registrations. The full list of exceptions is published in certificate of public services.

Example: the fee for registering a car through government services will be 1,400 rubles instead of 2,000. However, there is a nuance: if you paid at a discount, but did not use the service (for example, did not come to the traffic police), it will be more difficult to return the money - you will need to write an application to the department.

4. Amounts of state duties for car owners in 2026

The table below shows the current duty rates for the most common transactions with cars. Data verified to May 2026, but check the amounts on the traffic police website before payment.

Operation type	Duty amount (RUB)	KBK	Note
Vehicle registration (new or used)	2 000	18811601011011000110	Includes issuing license plates and PTS
Replacing PTS	800	18811601011012000110	If a document is lost or damaged
Driver's license restoration	2 000	18811601011016000110	If lost or expired
Changing registration data (full name, address)	850	18811601011013000110	No number replacement
Registration of a motorcycle/trailer	1 500	18811601011011000110	For vehicles up to 3.5 tons

For legal entities fees are higher. For example, registering a car with an organization will cost 5,000 rubles.

⚠️

Attention: If you pay duty for re-registration of a car after purchase, check with the traffic police whether you need to pay for replacing the vehicle title. Since 2023, a simplified procedure has been in effect in some regions without issuing a new vehicle passport.

5. Common mistakes when paying and how to avoid them

Even a small error in the details can cause the payment to get stuck or go to the wrong address. Here are the most common problems and ways to solve them:

• 🔍 Invalid KBK - the payment will not reach the department. Always check the code on the official website (eg. traffic police.rf for auto services).
• 📍 Error in OKTMO — if you indicate the code of another region, the duty may not be counted. Check OKTMO by Rosstat database.
• 👤 Payer's full name does not match — if you are paying for a friend, indicate his details in the receipt.
• 💰 Insufficient amount — some fees include additional fees (for example, for a PTS form).

If the payment still does not go through:

1. Check the payment status in the transaction history Sberbank Online (section “History” → “Search by details”).
2. If the status is “Completed”, but the department does not see the payment, contact Sberbank support with a check and details.
3. If the money was written off but did not reach the recipient, write an application to search for payment (through a bank branch).

What should I do if I paid the wrong fee?

If you have made a mistake with the amount or type of fee, contact the agency with a receipt and a request for credit. For example, the traffic police can redirect funds to the correct KBK. If this is not possible, you will need to return the money through the bank (up to 30 days).

⚠️

Attention: If you paid the fee through government services at a discount, but did not use the service, you can only return the money through the department (for example, the traffic police). Sberbank will not help in this case - the discount is provided by the state, not the bank.

6. Payment of state duty in cash: terminals and branches

If you do not have a bank card or Internet access, you can pay the fee through:

• 🏧 Sberbank ATMs with cash acceptance function.
• 🏛️ Cash desks in branches (commission is up to 1%, but the operator will help you avoid mistakes).

Instructions for the terminal:

1. Insert bills into the bill acceptor.
2. Select “Payments” → “Government services” → “State traffic police” (or other department).
3. Enter the details manually (it is more convenient to print the form from the department’s website in advance).
4. Check the information on the screen and confirm the payment.

⚠️

Attention: In terminals no auto-filling of details — you will have to enter all fields yourself. Errors are more common here than when paying online. If in doubt, it is better to contact the branch cash desk.

At the Sberbank branch you will need:

• Passport.
• Recipient details (can be shown on your phone or printed).
• Cash or card for debit.

The operator will print out a stamped receipt - it must be saved and presented to the department (for example, to the traffic police when registering a car).

7. How to check and print a payment receipt

After paying the state fee, you will need confirmation - it can be obtained in several ways:

• 📄 In the mobile application: go to “History” → find the payment → “Details” → “Save receipt”. The file will be sent as a PDF by email or to “Documents” on your phone.
• 🖨️ At an ATM: after payment select "Print check". If the terminal does not have a printer, save the transaction number.
• 🏛️ In the department: the operator will issue a stamped receipt. A duplicate can be obtained later using the payment number.

If your receipt is lost:

1. Go to Sberbank Online and find the payment by date or amount.
2. Click "Repeat payment" — the system will show the details and offer to print the check.
3. If the payment was made through government services, the receipt is saved in "My payments" on the website.

⚠️

Attention: Some agencies (such as courts) require original receipt with bank stamp. If you paid online, print out the receipt and have it certified at a Sberbank branch (free of charge).
