How to obtain a Russian registration for a resident of the DPR?
Another important issue is related to registration after obtaining citizenship in the Russian Federation. After a person has become a citizen of the Russian Federation and received a passport, he must register. It is registration that “ties” a citizen of the Russian Federation to a certain region, from whose budget funds are allocated for benefits, pensions, etc.

Currently, there is no fine for lack of registration for residents of the DPR.
However, there are two types of registration:
1. Permanent – at the place of residence (indicated in the passport);
2. Temporary – at the place of stay (separate sheet).
Mandatory registration of vehicles is carried out subject to:
- submitting an application and providing the necessary documents;
- carrying out an inspection of the vehicle by an authorized employee of the MREO division of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR;
- expert research by an expert from the ECC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR (if an employee of the MREO unit of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR has doubts about the authenticity of documents and (or) identification numbers of the vehicle components) in order to establish the authenticity of the identification numbers of the vehicle components;
- establishing compliance of the vehicle design with the mandatory requirements of the current legislation of the DPR;
- payment for services, mandatory payments for inspection, examination (if it is carried out) and registration for mandatory registration in an amount corresponding to the state registration of a vehicle approved by the Council of Ministers of the DPR.
When registering, MREO experts check the car for the presence of it or its parts in the stolen car databases. In case of suspicion of theft, representatives of the MREO will contact the internal affairs authorities.
According to clause 3.1. Compulsory vehicle registration begins on July 4, 2016.
Legal entities are required to register a vehicle before December 31, 2016.
Registration is carried out: even years of issue - in 2021, odd years of issue - in 2021. If the car was released in an even year (that is, it needs to be registered in 2021) and it was registered in Ukraine between January and July of an even year, it must be registered in the DPR within 2 months after the publication of the order (that is, before September 22 2021).
The maximum validity period of a vehicle registration certificate in the DPR is 5 years.
