Registration of a car with the traffic police is a mandatory procedure for every owner, but it cannot be done without paying the state fee. The main difficulty for many car owners is to correctly indicate KBK (budget classification code) when transferring funds. An error in even one digit can lead to the payment getting stuck in the system or being misdirected, and you will have to pay the fee again or prove your case to the tax office.

In 2026, updated BCCs are in effect for registration actions with vehicles, and they differ depending on the type of operation (registration, withdrawal, change of data) and the status of the payer (individual or legal entity). In this article we will look at current codes for all types of registration actions, the amount of state fees, and we will also give step-by-step instructions on how to check and pay the fee without errors. We will pay special attention to the typical problems that car owners face when filling out receipts.

What is KBK and why is it important to indicate it correctly?

KBK is budget classification code, which determines exactly where your money should go when paying government fees. It consists of 20 digits and includes information about:

  • 📌 Revenue Administrator (for example, traffic police or tax service)
  • 📌 Type of payment (state duty, fine, tax, etc.)
  • 📌 Specific operation (car registration, issuance of STS, replacement of PTS)

If you indicate an incorrect BCC, the payment may:

  • ❌ Doesn't reach the recipient — the money will “get stuck” in the system or go to another budget.
  • ❌ Be enrolled late — you will have to wait up to 30 days for payment confirmation.
  • ❌ Request a refund and repayment — if the code does not correspond to the transaction, the traffic police will not accept the payment.

According to Federal Treasury, up to 15% of payments for state duties for car registration contain errors in the KBK. Most often, car owners confuse codes for individuals and legal entities or indicate outdated values ​​(for example, KBK for 2023 instead of the current ones for 2026).

Current BCCs for car registration in 2026

The table below shows exact budget classification codes for all types of registration actions with cars, current for 2026. Please note: codes differ for individuals and legal entities, and also depending on the type of transaction.

Operation type KBK for individuals KBK for legal entities Amount of state duty (₽)
Vehicle registration (registration) 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 120 2 000
Issuance of STS (registration certificate) 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 120 500
Issuance of PTS (vehicle passport) 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 120 800
Making changes to PTS/STS 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 120 350
Deregistration (for disposal or export outside the Russian Federation) 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 120 350

⚠️ Attention: If you register a car with an electronic PTS (from November 1, 2023, all new cars are equipped only with electronic passports), the state fee for issuing a PTS is not charged. However, the BCC for vehicle registration remains the same.

For operations with motorcycles, trailers and self-propelled equipment The same BCCs are used, but the amount of the state duty may differ. For example, registering a trailer will cost 1,500 rubles instead of 2,000 rubles.

💡

Before paying, check the relevance of the KBK on the official website of the traffic police (traffic police.rf) or through the “State Services” service. Codes can be updated annually, especially if the revenue administrator changes (for example, transfer of powers from the traffic police to the tax office).

State fees for car registration in 2026

The amount of the state fee depends on the type of registration action. Below are the current tariffs for individuals (for legal entities the amounts increase by 1.5–2 times):

  • 🚗 Registration of a new or used car — 2,000 ₽ (includes issuing STS and making entries in the PTS).
  • 📄 Issuance of a duplicate STS (if lost or damaged) - 500 ₽.
  • 📑 Issuance of a duplicate PTS — 800 ₽.
  • ✏️ Making changes to PTS/STS (for example, change of owner, body color, engine) - 350 ₽.
  • 🚛 Trailer registration — 1 500 ₽.
  • 🔄 Deregistration for disposal — 350 ₽.
  • 🌍 Deregistration for export outside the Russian Federation — 350 ₽.

💡 Lifehack: If you register a car through the State Services portal and pay the state duty online, there is a 30% discount. For example, instead of 2,000 ₽ you will pay 1,400 ₽. The discount does not apply to legal entities.

Please note: if you perform several actions at the same time (for example, register your car and get new license plates), state fees are summed up. For example:

  • Vehicle registration (2,000 ₽) + issuance of new license plates (2,000 ₽) = 4 000 ₽.
  • Making changes to the PTS (350 ₽) + issuing a duplicate STS (500 ₽) = 850 ₽.
💡

From January 1, 2026, the state fee for registering a car with an electronic PTS does not include the fee for issuing a passport (800 rubles), since it is generated digitally automatically.

How to pay state duty without errors: step-by-step instructions

To avoid problems with payment processing, follow these instructions:

  1. Specify the recipient's details.

    To pay the state fee for car registration, the recipient is always UFK for the subject of the Russian Federation (State Traffic Safety Inspectorate). The name may vary slightly depending on the region. For example:

    • For Moscow: UFK for Moscow (State Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow)
    • For the Moscow region: UFK for the Moscow region (GU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Moscow region)
  • Check KBK.

    Use the codes from the table above. For individuals this is almost always 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110.

  • Fill in the remaining details.

    The payment order or receipt must indicate:

    • 📍 Recipient's TIN (for example, 7705049581 for the Moscow traffic police).
    • 📍 checkpoint (for example, 770501001).
    • 📍 OKTMO (code of the territory where you register the car).
    • Specify the purpose of the payment.

      Example of correct wording: State duty for vehicle registration (issuing STS, making entries in PTS) according to KBK 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110.

    ⚠️ Attention: If you pay the state fee through a bank, make sure that the receipt indicates your name and address — without this data, the payment may not be identified in the traffic police system.

    The BCC corresponds to the type of transaction (registration, deregistration, etc.)|Recipient details (UFK + traffic police in your region)|The amount of the state duty is indicated correctly (taking into account the discount on State Services)|All registration actions are specified in the payment purpose (for example, “issuance of STS + entry into the PTS”)|Your full name and address are indicated (to identify the payment)-->

    Where can I get the correct payment details?

    Details for paying state duty can be obtained in several ways:

    • 🌐 Official website of the traffic police (traffic police.rf) — in the “Details for payment of state duties” section, select your region.
    • 📱 Portal "Government services" — when filling out an application for car registration, the system will automatically generate a receipt with current details.
    • 🏛️ MFC or traffic police department — up-to-date details are always posted on information stands.
    • 🏦 Bank - many banks (Sberbank, VTB, Tinkoff) have payment templates for the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate with the BCC already entered.

    🔍 How to check OKTMO:

    The OKTMO code depends on the municipality where you register the car. You can find it out:

    • On the website oktmo.ru — enter the name of your city or district.
    • In a certificate from the tax office (if you are an individual entrepreneur or a legal entity).
    • On the receipt for utilities (OKTMO is usually indicated in the details).

    ⚠️ Attention: If you are registering a car not at your place of residence (for example, in another city), use OKTMO of the region where you are submitting documents to the traffic police, and not according to your registration.

    What should I do if I paid the state fee with an error in the KBK?

    If you have already paid the state fee, but indicated the wrong BCC, follow the algorithm:

    1. Check payment status on the website of the Federal Public Institution “Main Center for Special Communications” (bus.gov.ru) or through your bank.

    2. If the money does not reach the traffic police, contact the bank with a request to clarify the payment (attach a receipt and passport).

    3. If the payment is stuck (acted inappropriately), write a statement to the traffic police with a request to clarify the purpose of the payment. Please attach to your application:

    - A copy of your passport.

    - Receipt of payment.

    - Application for car registration (if already submitted).

    4. If the money went to the wrong budget, you will have to wait for a refund (up to 30 days) and pay the state fee again.

    Typical mistakes when paying state fees and how to avoid them

    Even experienced car owners sometimes make mistakes when paying state duty. Here are the most common ones and how to prevent them:

    • 🔢 Invalid KBK — check the code on official sources (traffic police, State Services), and not on third-party sites.
    • 💰 Wrong amount — check the current tariffs for 2026 (for example, from January 1, the duty for issuing PTS has increased from 500 to 800 rubles).
    • 📝 Errors in recipient details — always indicate the full name of the UFC + traffic police department of your region.
    • 📌 No payment purpose — without this line, the payment may not be identified.
    • 🕒 Payment in advance (several months in advance) — the state duty is valid for 1 year, but if you paid it too early, the details may change.

    📌 Example of a correct payment purpose:
    State duty for vehicle registration (registration, issuance of STS, making entries in PTS) according to KBK 188 1 08 07010 01 1000 110. Full name: Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich, address: Moscow, st. Lenina, 1, apt. 1

    If you have paid the state duty, but the traffic police “do not see it”, the reasons may be as follows:

    • 🔄 The payment has not gone through yet (bank transfers sometimes take up to 3 days).
    • 📥 Error in the name or address of the payer (the payment is not linked to your application).
    • 📊 The payment went to another budget (due to incorrect KBK or details).
    💡

    If you paid the state fee through State Services, check the payment status in your personal account. You can also download a confirmation document there (via the “My Payments” section).

    How to return an erroneously paid state fee

    If you have paid the state fee, but:

    • 🚫 We didn’t submit documents to the traffic police (they changed their minds about registering the car),
    • 🔄 You specified the wrong KBK or details,
    • 💸 We overpaid the amount,

    you can get your money back. To do this:

    1. Write return application to the traffic police (if the payment has arrived) or to the bank (if the payment is stuck).
    2. Attach:
      • A copy of your passport.
      • Original payment receipt.
      • Account details for return.
  • Wait for a decision (usually up to 30 days).

    • ⚠️ Attention: If the state duty was paid with a 30% discount through “State Services”, only the amount actually paid is subject to refund (for example, not 2,000 ₽, but 1,400 ₽).

    💡 Return period:

    - If the payment has not been credited (error in the details), the money will be returned to the account within 5-10 days after submitting the application to the bank.

    - If the payment has reached the traffic police, but you have not used the service, the refund will take up to 30 days.

    FAQ: Frequently asked questions about the BCC and the state duty for car registration

    🔹 Do I need to pay a state fee for registering a car purchased at a dealership?
