This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 761 dated June 10, 2026, is aimed at optimizing the procedures for departmental registration and accounting of heavy-duty and technological vehicles. The document unifies terminology, simplifies the description of services for the issuance of license plates, and clarifies the list of documents required for registration actions. Furthermore, the Resolution clearly defines the requirements for the operation of such vehicles and the procedures for their re-registration, in particular for machinery previously registered with the State Labor Service bodies.
**Structure and Main Amendments:**
The Resolution consists of two main blocks of amendments:
1. **Amendments to Resolution No. 795:** The wording regarding the provision of paid services by subdivisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Police has been simplified, replacing cumbersome descriptions of license plate issuance procedures with the concise term “license plates.”
2. **Amendments to Procedure No. 557:** This is the main part of the document, which regulates in detail the procedure for departmental registration. The amendments concern the clarification of the list of title documents, requirements for the technical condition of vehicles, and the procedure for temporary registration and deregistration. Compared to the previous version, a number of obsolete requirements (for example, regarding technical inspection documents during registration) have been excluded, and mechanisms for interaction with State Labor Service registries have been added.
**Key Provisions for Practical Application:**
* **Lawfulness of Ownership:** The list of documents confirming the right to a vehicle (purchase and sale agreements, leasing agreements, court decisions, customs declarations, etc.) has been expanded and detailed.
* **Registration Requirements:** For machinery imported from abroad, the submission of a customs declaration has become mandatory. For vehicles previously accounted for by the State Labor Service, a requirement has been introduced to provide a confirmation letter from that body.
* **Expert Examination:** A mandatory requirement has been established to conduct an expert examination of unit identification numbers during the re-registration of machinery that has not previously been registered by service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (with the exception of specific cases, including confiscation as state revenue).
* **Temporary Registration:** It is clearly defined that upon the expiration of the temporary registration period, the certificate and license plates become invalid and are subject to return for destruction.
* **Operation:** The operation of unregistered vehicles is prohibited, and the obligation to comply with technical regulations for machine safety and noise emissions has been established.
