Which of the following documents is required to register a tractor?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. The ownership title of the tractor.
Explanation
The illustration shows a blue agricultural tractor against the background of a vehicle registration certificate, and a board saying "Starostwo Powiatowe" (district authority office) - it is the starost (head of the district authority) who registers vehicles. To register an agricultural tractor, proof of ownership of the vehicle is required - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act lists the documents on the basis of which registration is carried out, and puts proof of ownership of the vehicle in first place, for example a sales contract, an invoice or a deed of gift. The office must know who the owner is, because the owner is responsible for the vehicle, its technical inspections and its insurance. Comprehensive (AC) insurance (answer A) is voluntary - what is compulsory is the vehicle keeper's third-party liability insurance (OC). A statement about paid tax (answer C) is not one of the registration documents. Also remember the deadline: the owner must apply for registration within 30 days of acquiring the vehicle, and the law provides for a penalty for being late.
Legal basis: Art. 72 para. 1 point 1 and Art. 73aa para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
