Starting from December 20, 2023, the function of registering the purchase and sale of a car or motorcycle without visiting the Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be operational.. How to do this – step by step guide.
On December 19, at Diia.Summit, the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov announced the launch of the operational launch (until now only beta testing of the service for a separate group of users has continued) of car re-registration in the “Diya” application.. The service should become available at midnight on December 20th.
Specialists from the Institute of Automotive Market Research participated in testing this service and know how it works in practice, what new opportunities it creates, and what limitations it has.
So, to use the new car sales service in Dii, first of all you need to have a car officially registered in your name. You can only register a sale of a car, motorcycle or moped.
Of course, these vehicles must be “clean” – that is, without various kinds of encumbrances, arrests, injunctions and not be wanted. It must also be the first vehicle you sell within the calendar year, meaning you don't have to pay any additional sales tax on it.
Let us remind you that the second sale of a passenger car or motorcycle (moped) within a year is subject to tax in the amount of 5% of its assessed value, the third sale – 18%. For trucks, buses, special equipment, tractors, trailers – 5% for the first and second sale, and 18% for the third and all subsequent ones.

In the “services” section of the Diya application, select the “Sell vehicle” item. Select from the list the vehicle you plan to sell (if there are several of them). Indicate the cost of the vehicle Enter your contact information – phone number and email On the next screen, familiarize yourself with the draft contract, check whether all the data is correct. If yes, click the “confirm” button.
