State Duma deputies approached the head of the government apparatus, Dmitry Grigorenko, with such an initiative, Izvestia writes. They pointed out that state auctions with such registration marks will be able to regularly replenish the budget by a substantial amount, citing the experience of Uzbekistan as an example. In addition, the black market, where the illegal trade in numbers takes place, will be eliminated.
In Uzbekistan, after the introduction of a system of state auctions, the budget was replenished by almost $25 million in 2021 alone, the authors of the idea note. In Russia, profits can be much greater, since its vehicle fleet is approximately 18 times larger than Uzbekistan’s.
According to the calculations of deputies, in the first year the state will earn about 35 billion rubles from the numbers. Now this money, which would be useful under sanctions, is not being received by the budget due to “gray” trade. In addition, such sellers are outside the legal field and do not pay taxes.

This is not the first time that “beautiful” numbers with an interesting combination of letters and numbers have been offered for sale at government auctions. In 2020, the Ministry of Economic Development proposed introducing such a mechanism. The government developed an auction project: according to it, Russians could receive registration marks through online auctions on the State Services portal. The document was never approved.
Meanwhile, the tricolor of the Russian flag may become mandatory for license plates. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already prepared a draft amendment to GOST, and it is now being discussed. It was pointed out that Russians often put numbers without the flag before traveling abroad so as not to be associated with Russia.
