The legal basis for an electronic vehicle passport in the Russian Federation is mainly federal law dated June 2, 2016 No. 156 FZ, which ratified the “Agreement on the introduction of uniform forms of a vehicle passport (vehicle chassis passport) and a passport of a self-propelled vehicle and other types of equipment and organization electronic passport systems”of the Member States of the Customs Union.
In accordance with the decision of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated September 22, 2015 No. 122 (as amended on May 29, 2018) paper passports will be issued until November 1, 2019.
After this date, all vehicle passports will be issued electronically. Replacement of previously issued paper passports with electronic ones will be carried out on a voluntary basis at the request of the vehicle owner (or his representative).
