The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has regulated the procedure for registration and re-registration of vehicles imported as humanitarian aid. This should make it easier for donors to transfer vehicles to the frontline. 

What will change?

Among the innovations is the ability to register humanitarian vehicles with the state. At the same time, temporary registration remains available.

Also, a culling service is now available for vehicles on temporary registration, and the procedure for travelling abroad and transferring a vehicle to a third party has been regulated.

Transfer of a humanitarian car to a third party

There is now a clear mechanism for transferring a vehicle from the charitable organisation that imported the car to the final recipient of the humanitarian aid. That is, the car can be re-registered at the service centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the organisation for which it was imported. 

Culling

A culling service is now available for humanitarian vehicles that are temporarily registered. This is especially relevant for those vehicles that perform combat missions on the front line.

Vehicles that have come under enemy fire and cannot be restored can be deregistered at the service centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Travelling abroad

Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 895 also regulates travelling abroad in humanitarian vehicles, which was previously prohibited.

Now, to travel outside Ukraine in a car that is temporarily registered as a humanitarian aid vehicle, you can obtain a certificate of registration of the vehicle for travelling abroad at a service centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The document is issued to the person specified in the temporary registration certificate. This will expand the possibilities of using these vehicles, in particular, for the transport of humanitarian goods.
