27 January 14:18

The car re-registration service has been returned to Diia. Now you can buy or sell a car using the app again. This was announced by the press service of Diia and Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

“Make an appointment with a buyer or seller at a convenient time and place. A few minutes in Diia, exchange of keys and money – and you’re done. The new technical passport will be pulled up in Diia immediately, and the physical passport will be sent by mail,” Fedorov wrote.

The Interior Ministry’s service center will receive the request online, the technical passport will be pulled up in Diia, and the plastic technical passport and new license plates can be picked up from the post office.

To use the service, you need to click several times in Diia and schedule a payment for the car at a convenient time. The service will automatically check the car, the buyer, and the seller, so Diia will not allow you to sell a car that is wanted or stolen.

“By the way, buying a car with Diia is also an opportunity to choose exclusive DI license plates. These can only be obtained when buying a car through Diia,” said Fedorov.

He also announced “more than one cool service for drivers” in Diia this year.

How to re-register a car online

The Diia re-registration service is available only to individuals and only for three categories of vehicles :

  • passenger cars
  • motorcycles
  • mopeds.

The sale of vehicles through Diia is possible only for users who are identified as vehicle owners in the relevant registers. This means that you cannot re-register a car online using a general power of attorney.

Who cannot re-register a car online

To change the owners of minibuses, trucks or other vehicles, you will have to contact the Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Those who will sell more than one vehicle during a calendar year will also have to go the same way . The fact is that the first sale of a car, motorcycle or moped in a year is exempt from taxation, while the second, third and each subsequent sale is subject to 5% and 18% income tax, respectively, and 1.5% military duty.

There is no such restriction for buyers: an unlimited number of vehicles can be re-registered online during a calendar year. The main thing is that these are the seller’s first transactions in the reporting period.

It is also not possible to register a car online for the first time in Ukraine, as the vehicle data is not yet available in a single database. In addition, the first registration requires payment of the mandatory state pension insurance fee. Its amount depends on the cost of the car and the subsistence level – from 3% to 5%.
