Notarized Vehicle Registration needed to cross borders?
I'm planning a big trip across the Eurasian continent, but I'm still trying to figure out what paperwork is needed and what is not. I heard it's necessary to have a notarized translations (to Russian) of my vehicle registration documents. Is this true or nonsense? I'd rather avoid getting those translations, since they'll set me back about £200.
Thanks

entering Russia
Hi Tramper,
welcome to the Hubb.
As far as I know you dont need to translate your rego into Russian. I entered last year (May 2015) into Belorussia (custom union with Russia) and they accepted my Swiss rego. But the rego has to be in your name or you need a power of attorney from the owner of the bike.
Better spend the 200 quit in vodka and

Hi Tramper:
I've never done a temporary importation of a motorcycle into Russia, but I have done many temporary importations of large passenger aircraft into Russia. I've never needed a translation of the aircraft documents - that suggests to me that you likely won't need a translation of your vehicle documents.
You may wish, however, to get an International Drivers Permit (IDP), simply because that will contain a Russian language translation of your home country driver licence. That might make life simpler if you get stopped at a traffic check, or (hope not) involved in an accident. You can get an IDP from your home country's Auto Association.

Hi Tramper,
maybe you mix up two things?
For more or less all ex communist countries in Europe you need a power of attorney of the bike´s owner, if you are not the owner yourself. This power of attorney needs to be testified by a notar.
But this is only a regulation if you don´t ride your own bike.
I´ve been to many of these countries (including RUS and UA) and you don´t need such a thing for the paperwork of your own bike. Just the original papers. UA even does not acknowledge international documents but only national ones from your country! A friend was sent back at the border, because he had only the international kinds.
Regards
Panny

I've crossed into/out of Russia many times with my original bike registration documents (US), they've never asked for Russian versions or notarized versions. Same with Ukraine, Mongolia, Kirgyzstan, and everywhere else I've been.
The only problems I've encountered is when I've given them one of my color copies by mistake instead of the original; then at least Ukraine and Estonia gave me a hard time until I dug the original out of my bag.
