When do you need to register a vehicle?

The vehicle must be registered within 10 calendar days from the date of transfer of ownership (e.g., conclusion of a sale and purchase agreement, donation, etc.).

What happens if the registration deadline is missed?

• The first case of violation: The patrol police may impose a fine of UAH 850.
• Repeated violation within a year: The fine will be 1700 hryvnias, and a possible assignment:
• Community service (30 to 40 hours);
