KAUFEN

Military operations and terror by russia have led to large-scale losses of property among Ukrainian citizens, including vehicles. Many cars remain in the occupied territories or become unrepairable due to serious damage or long service life. Despite this, such cars continue to be registered with their owners, which can create legal and administrative difficulties. What to do with a car that has become scrap metal? The answer is simple - it can be deregistered through the culling procedure.

What is vehicle culling?

Culling is the process of removing an unusable vehicle from state registration. This procedure allows owners to officially get rid of a vehicle that can no longer be used without incurring additional financial costs. The service is provided free of charge and is available at any service centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

Algorithm of actions for culling a car

1. Make an appointment with a service centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Use the online E-registration or the terminal at the centre to receive a coupon. This allows you to plan your visit in advance and avoid queues.

2. Prepare the necessary documents. When visiting a service centre, you will need the following documents:

- Passport with a stamp of residence registration or ID card with a statement of residence.

- Certificate of registration number of the taxpayer's account card.

- Vehicle registration certificate (if you have one).

- License plates (if you have them).

If the registration certificate or number plates have been lost or stolen, provide a resolution from the internal affairs authorities on the initiation or refusal to initiate a criminal case.

3. Contact a service centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you cannot visit the centre in person, your legal representative can do so. To do this, you must additionally issue a notarised power of attorney.

4. Wait for your application to be processed. The culling service is provided within one business day from the date of submission of all documents.

What else do you need to know?

Please note that if you decide to restore the registration of a rejected vehicle, this is possible only by court order.

Once a vehicle is deregistered, it officially ceases to exist as a registered vehicle.

Please note! Preparing your car for any future scenario is not just about planning fuel costs. In today's environment, every driver can ensure peace of mind while driving by taking out the necessary insurance online. On the Visit Ukraine website, you can easily order a Mini Hull insurance, CTPCI or green card. A simple and convenient service will help you protect yourself from unforeseen expenses on the road.

We remind you! In 2024, Ukraine saw an increase in petrol and diesel prices. In particular, many factors influenced the price. We explained why petrol and diesel prices in Ukraine could rise to UAH 4 per litre next year.
