The new standard of car numbers is developed in Russia. Registration license plates of the Russian Federation - Car numbers New view of cars

The next 2019 year for citizens of the Russian Federation will become a year of change: new pension legislation will begin to operate, the sums of some social benefits will change and new taxes will appear. In addition, with some changes will have to face car owners.

This time, it is not about changes in the rules of the road, but about the new format of car numbers, which will be mandatory for all vehicles of a certain type. The radical change does not foresee - the government decided only to adjust the current GOST. So since January 2019, state marks on cars and motorcycles will be installed in a new amount and form.

Why and from what date changes are found?

The reasons for which Rosstandart establishes a new number format, you can select several. First, the Russian Automobile Federation of the Russian Federation has long spoke about the need to introduce a special mark for the classical vehicle. Its representatives have already been engaged in the development of special rules governing the movement of these funds. And in order to embody these rules in life, you need to establish new principles for registering classical TCs.

For imported motorcycles and cars, signs are decreasing due to the fact that the domestic size number exceeds the platform provided for its installation. But in 2019, drivers do not have to bend the number or resort to the help of adapters, since the new format perfectly fit into the standard lining.

In addition, the line of registration numbers every year is still stronger, and unique soon can end. Therefore, it should urgently expand for some types of vehicles.

Is the replacement of numbers obligatory?

The project to update the guest of autonomer began to be developed two years ago, but only from January 1, 2019 it will come into force. The installation of new types of state signs will be mandatory for all categories of the vehicle, which touched the changes, in particular vintage cars, sports and classical models, American and Japanese cars, as well as mopeds and motorcycles.

Latest news: What will change?

  • Signs of retro factors, as well as in the case of standard cars, will be marked with the letter "K" - classic. From other characters it will separate its trait. The innovation will affect both passenger and freight TCs.
  • Sports cars on the rooms will appear the letter "C" - Sport. It will also be located in front of the numbers and will be dressed from them.
  • According to new standards for foreign vehicles (Japanese and American cars), the size of the sign will decrease to 290x170 mm.
  • Owners of foreign motorcycles will set numbers in size 190x145 mm, while 245x160 mm are used now. The same signs will become mandatory for mopeds and maxi-scooters, the volume of the engine of which exceeds 50 ccm, as well as quad biccles, but with a slightly different structure.
  • Also, each sign after making is mandatory will be assigned a special non-repeating code consisting of 12 characters. It will be encrypted information about the manufacturer, date of release, sales, and so on.
  • According to a new GOST, vehicle owners will be able to drill additional holes on the state numbers. The main condition is that they do not go to the flag icon, numbers, letters and RUS code.

However, it is possible that the numbers of the new sample will begin to issue not from January 1st, but a little later.


From January 1, 2019, 10 types of new state registration numbers for auto and motor transport will appear in Russia. This is reported by Kommersant. Special, developed for each type of transport will be replaced by the usual state leaders. For example, the rooms for motorcycles will be one and a half times less than today - 190 by 145 mm (instead of 245 by 160 mm).

Special numbers are designed for mopeds, classic and sports cars. The corresponding GOST approved by order of Rosstandard and enters into force from 2019. The development of new standards has begun in 2016 on the initiative of the Scientific Center for the Safety of the Road Ministry of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Order Duplicate car numbers in St. Petersburg Urgently in Certified Service No. 1 in Russia for the manufacture and restoration of state registration signs of all types and countries. Sending Gos Rooms in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Region and other regions of Russia.

Japanese and American right-hand drive cars imported into the territory of the Russian Federation "Gray" in the way will supply almost square numbers, in accordance with the size of the site planned by the manufacturer.

However, it is possible that the numbers of the new sample will begin to issue not from January 1st, but a little later. According to the source of Kommersant, the special purpose center in the field of traffic safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs intends to first distribute the purchased stocks of old numbers, and only then begin to order new ones.

For powerful maxi-scooters with a motor volume, more than 50 cm3 will release special signs - the same as for motorcycles, but with another set of letters. Register ordinary mopeds and traffic scooters do not plan. But the numbers for quad bickers will appear.

Cars will be divided into several subclasses. For sports cars and classic cars to a conventional set of letters and numbers will add letters "C" and "K". Experts of the Russian Automobile Federation are convinced that for such equipment, special rules of movement are needed, which means that special regulations are also needed.

On the wave of rumors about the approaching replacement of Russian car numbers, Artemia Lebedeva studio presented its original development in this area. According to the founder of the design studio, such numbers can be found. "Soon on all the roads of the country".

Within the framework of the new format, developers are offered to use on car numbers: 1 - three-grained abbreviation of the Russian region from the letters of the Latin alphabet, 2-color coat of arms of the region or city, 3 - a series of any two digits, 4 is a free combination of another four-allowed liter.

In the studio, Artemy Lebedev explains that as a result, about four and a half billion combinations will turn out, which is enough for at least the next century.

In the automotive rooms of the new format, only those listers are used that cannot be confused with each other with any version of reading. For example, only the letter "C" is used, while S "S" is missing. It is also impossible to get a license plate with a Literary "U", but "Y" is available.

It is important that the attackers will not be able to quickly change the new number due to the drawing of the letters, because in addition to the ban on the use of Liter H, I, J, P, Q, S, U, V, W number is still written by a specially designed font, the fake of which is very difficult .

GOST-50577, which completed current car numbers, was released for more than twenty years ago in 1993. Since then, due to a number of serious disadvantages, among which low informativeness and the need to often enter new codes for different regions, has become a need to change the current license system. For example, in Moscow alone, six different codes are already used.

Interestingly, after the entry into force of the current Gost, motorists were allowed to use previously issued numbers of old samples. It is not surprising that now on Russian roads occasionally there are cars with Soviet license plates as a model of 1980 and a sample of 1958. It is not surprising that the traffic police spoke about the emergency preparation of a new auto room reform.

As we wrote earlier, the research and development center for the safety problems of the RF road traffic began to develop. The new guest car numbers will have to appear in the fall of 2018. It was reported that the sketches of the state numbers performed by the new GOST are ready and waiting for feedback from representatives of the Ministry of the Interior.

Today, the first sketches of the number signs made on the new type have appeared on the Internet. There are several options for numbers, their dimensions and style stylistics in the sketches.


At the moment, several options are considered to look like a state person. For example, one of the proposed sketches, the region code can be transferred from the right corner to the left part of the state person. In another variation, the possibility is considered at all to refuse to indicate this code.


For rare cars, sports cars, motorcycles, as well as mopeds, plan to introduce certain types of state registration numbers. Of the futuristic, the possibility of using polymer license plates and radio frequency fixation is discussed (probably to track runaway violators).


A few new innovations will be amended the size of the numbers for motorcycles, the introduction of the rear license plate marks for cars brought from the USA and Japan, whose representatives on today's roads are a lot. And finally, if NIC will still give up the numbers of the new "square" standard for American and Japanese cars, most likely it will indicate standardized places for the drilling of ordinary license plates, because it is known, on machines from the USA, consolidate the usual license plate for a non-standard bracket very difficult . And by law, drill numbers on their own it is prohibited.

In early September, in print publications and on Internet portals, the news was published that new numbers will appear on the car in Russia in 2018. Since then, disputes about the need for license reform, as well as discussion of possible designs and changes.

The number of cars in the country is growing annually. This phenomenon caused a serious problem - the lack of combinations of license plates in some regions. In order to temporarily solve this issue, in certain republics and regions are used in several regional codes, which often leads to confusion. A bright example is Moscow.

Now car signs are issued according to GOST, which was approved in the distant 1993. Since the market trend over the past years has changed significantly, the government decided to introduce new states in Russia.

The appropriate bill will be able to solve another important problem. Drilling number plates according to current legislation is prohibited, but the owners of American and Japanese cars face that the size of the numbers do not correspond to the frame. As a result, you have to use special adapters that E E guarantee reliable attachment, especially at high speed. Signs of suitable sizes will help to avoid such problems.

What will be the new numbers?

Rumors about new car numbers that will be used in Russia since 2018, have not yet received confirmation or refutation from official sources. Representatives of the authorities have repeatedly mentioned the need to change. Information appeared in the media that the project with a new design mark was transferred to Rosstandart for approval. It should consider it until the end of the year, although the car owners familiarize themselves with him yet.

Information about what will be new numbers are very different. Rumors about such possible options:

  1. Russian license plates will become similar to European. Regional codes will be completely refused. The number will consist of eight characters (letters and numbers), which will give a huge number of combinations.
  2. The previous format with the region code will continue, but various types will be added, which is to solve the problem for a while. For retro cars, sports cars, motorcycles, American and Japanese cars will be provided with other size signs.
  3. The room will consist of three letters denoting the region, two digits and four more letters. In addition, the emblem of the region or city and the inscription Rus will be depicted. In order not to be confused, there will be no similar letters. Compound new combinations will be out of 17 Latin letters.

Which of the alleged options will be accepted while it remains unknown. In any case, all measures will be developed to protect against fakes. Special font and billions of unique combinations are basic ways to protect.

Deadlines for introducing changes

Significant changes regarding new numbers will begin no earlier than 2018. Until the end of this year, a new standard will be approved. The consideration of innovations is scheduled for the next year. If the authorities accept the appropriate bill, will still need several years to go.

Most likely, the first license plates in the modified format will receive vehicle owners in such cases:

  • when registering an acquired car;
  • with the loss of the old number;
  • when reissuing the machine on another owner.

First time will be valid and old rooms. It will take more than one year to completely go to the new standard. Although it is possible that the signs of the old sample will not completely prohibit the signs.

Owners of vehicles with old numbers will be able to replace on their own. To do this, you will need to contact the relevant authorities with a written statement.

Chip - Unique Technology

Some sources argue that new numbers on the car from 2018 will be equipped with chips. This is a unique technology that has no analogues around the world. The chip will contain all the detailed information about the car, including its history. The data will be read in the afternoon, and at night, including those signs that are not read.

The automotive expert Igor Moornetto shared his opinion on this account and said that this initiative is quite difficult to implement this initiative. Chip installation is an easy task. In addition, it is inexpensive, but the equipment that information can read from it requires considerable investments. While this initiative is not implemented in the coming years, although the future is for technologies and electronics.

Other experts and representatives of the power of similar opinions. The main arguments are the need for large financial investments in the development of equipment and study of all parts, as well as an insufficient technical base.
