Can I drive with my maiden name? Replacing a driver's license when changing a surname

Until November 5, 2014, any girl could use the rights with her maiden name until their expiration date. But after the adoption of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2014 N 1097 "On admission to driving vehicles", the situation has changed dramatically. The innovations adopted then are still in effect today. Therefore, the fine for the rights with a maiden name in 2017 will not change in size compared to the previous year.

Why is it necessary to change rights when changing a surname

Clause 2.1 current Rules traffic allows management vehicle if the driver has a license of the corresponding category. In addition, the participant in the movement is obliged to present them at the request of a police officer.

2.1. The driver of a power-driven vehicle must:

2.1.1. Have with you and, at the request of the police officers, hand them over for verification:

a driver's license or temporary permit for the right to drive a vehicle of the corresponding category or subcategory;

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2014 N 1097 expanded the list of reasons why a driver's license is invalidated. It includes a clause regarding the change of personal data.

35. A Russian national or international driving license is considered invalid and subject to cancellation in the following cases:

a) if expired driving license;

b) if the personal data contained in the driver's license has changed ;

Attempts to challenge this innovation in court were unsuccessful. The compliance of these requirements with the current legislation is evidenced by the decision Supreme Court RF dated February 13, 2015 N AKPI14-1449 on the refusal to invalidate subparagraph “b” of paragraph 35 of the said Resolution.

Since the contested normative provisions do not violate the rights and legitimate interests of the applicant, do not contradict the federal law or other normative legal act of greater legal force, in accordance with part 1 of Article 253 of the Code of Civil Procedure Russian Federation claims must be denied.

Possible punishment and features of the replacement of the certificate


Based on this, when using the rights with a maiden name, you violate the current traffic rules and will be held administratively liable, on a par with a driver who drives vehicles without any rights at all.

The punishment for driving with the rights to the maiden name is determined by article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, paragraph 1

1. Driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have the right to drive a vehicle (except for training driving), -

shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand to fifteen thousand roubles.

In addition to this, in addition to penalties, such administrative punishment as the detention of a vehicle and placing it in a penalty parking lot is also applied. And this will entail additional costs. The basis for this is Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.



It should be noted that the adopted Decree allows for the replacement of rights when changing personal data according to a simplified procedure, you will not have to retake exams. Paragraph 29 of that document states:

29. Issuance of a Russian national driver's license in exchange for a previously issued Russian national driver's license is made without passing exams and in the following cases:

a) upon expiration of the driver's license;

b) when changing the personal data of its owner contained in the driver's license;

But it should be borne in mind that the period of new rights received by changing the surname will correspond to the period indicated in the old certificate. That is, if your rights before the change of surname were valid until 07.2017, the new ones will have to be changed again in the same term.

32. In case of issuing a Russian national driver's license instead of a previously issued Russian national driver's license on the grounds established by subparagraphs "b" - "d" of paragraph 29 of these Rules, the previously established period of validity of the driver's license does not change.


If you find yourself in a situation where you are threatened with a fine for traffic violations of this category, in any case, you should contact a professional lawyer. This will allow us to analyze all the nuances of the current situation, on the basis of which an effective line of defense will be chosen. Practice shows that self-protection of one's own interests in similar cases does not bring the desired result.
