In Belarus, starting from November 16, the updated regulation on the procedure for conducting a state technical inspection, approved by the Council of Ministers resolution of May 13, 2026 No. 244, comes into effect. This was reported by the UP "BELTECHOSMOTR".

One of the most anticipated changes concerns the change of vehicle ownership. "Previously, when purchasing a vehicle that had already received a permit for access (that is, passed the technical inspection), the new owner had to go through the procedure again. This created unnecessary hassles. Starting from November 16, this norm is cancelled. If the vehicle has a valid permit, there is no need to pass the technical inspection again. Information about the permit will be automatically transferred to the new owner thanks to data exchange between the information systems of UP "BELTECHOSMOTR" and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), — said Sergey Korovatsky, deputy head of the UP "BELTECHOSMOTR" branch in Minsk.

In case the document supporting the passage of the technical inspection (the permit form) was lost or damaged, a duplicate of the administrative decision form will be issued. Company specialists will issue it based on the application of the interested person. Also, if changes were made to the vehicle registration certificate (for example, the registration mark changed), the new data will be entered into the previously issued permit form.

Paying for obtaining a permit to allow a vehicle to participate in road traffic is possible using the payment system in ERIP. This is the most convenient and fast method: payment is received promptly.

Among other innovations — the update of the application form for conducting administrative procedures (including the issuance of a duplicate permit or making changes to it). To avoid confusion, the new forms will be posted on the company's official website gto.by in the relevant sections.

Vehicle owners can still obtain a permit electronically. This can be done through the unified portal of electronic services "Y-Pas
