Reasons for changing your driver's license

Since March 2011 put into use the new kind driver's license (VU). The decision on a new sample is dictated by the fact that such a format complies with national and international requirements. These rights apply in the countries signatories to the Vienna Convention on traffic rules in 1968

Amendments to this document caused the transition to a new plastic VU format. In the territories of countries not participating in the signing of the Convention, other international class rights and rules apply traffic different from ours.

Opening a new category

When opening a new category, you will have to issue a certificate on a general basis.

• By opening a category, you pass an exam, pass a medical examination and get a new VU. If the rights are about to expire by this point, you can combine these events by extending the license by 10 years. In this case, you will pay the state duty only once.
• When there are several VUs, it is more convenient to combine them. At the end of the term, one document will have to be changed.

Expiration date

The VU is valid for ten years, after which it is considered invalid. There are exceptions to the rules that apply to a certain category of citizens. In what cases can the period be reduced?

1. When health deteriorates— if it could endanger safe driving. The decision on the ability to drive vehicles is made on the basis of a medical examination.
2. If the court has ruled on deprivation of rights. Resuming their action, the driver will have to go through all the stages of obtaining a VU again. The expiration date of the old certificate is not taken into account.
3. Validity of the rights of the international class - three years. They are issued based on the WU operating within the country. Upon expiration of its validity period, the international WU is considered invalid.

  1. when changing passport data;
  2. in case of loss, theft of VU;
  3. if the rights have become unusable;
  4. upon receipt of international rights.

• In February 2016, the resolution entered into force. Since then, an amendment has been made to the rules on the provision of a driver's license.
• The change does not apply to persons who receive rights for the first time or open a new category. A medical examination will be required for those who have been disenfranchised or extend an expired period.

Loss

The procedure for restoring a lost VU will not cause difficulties. What do you need:

1. Provide a standard package of documents (a medical certificate is not necessary) to the traffic police.
2. File a claim for loss of identity.
3. Pay the state duty for new rights and a temporary permit to drive vehicles, as well as a fine.

They cannot refuse you due to the lack of a driver card or send you to take exams. The card is not binding document in the package, but desirable. A driver card is a document on completion of training, where points are set, etc. Previously, the driver's card was of great relevance, since there was no computer base. Now it is needed only in the case when the documents are lost, but there is no data in the database.

An obstacle in obtaining a VU may be the refusal of the REO to issue new rights if you do not have a local residence permit or temporary registration. You will have to contact the authorities where you are registered. In such a situation, you can get a license, but you have to pass an exam. This will take Extra time and the cost of money will increase. Add to this the unpredictable attestation result. You can find out how to do it right by contacting lawyers online for advice.

For the driver, when replacing rights, the main thing is to collect documents. The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation has made several changes to the rules for obtaining a driver's license. Therefore, the relevance of the documents must meet the requirements for 2016.

Suspicious papers can become an obstacle. The issuance of VUs may be delayed until they are checked. During this period, a temporary permit to drive vehicles will be issued.

Where to apply?

If you have a residence permit or temporary registration on the territory of the Russian Federation, you can obtain rights at any branch of the MREO. The design option depends on where you decide to do it.

• The easiest option is to get rights at the place of residence. When contacting a local REO, you will need fewer certificates. Accordingly, you will be served faster.
• With residence and registration rights can be obtained in any MREO. In the second case, a certificate of temporary registration must be attached to the package of documents.
• In the absence of registration obtaining rights is possible at the place of actual residence. Documents are submitted to the nearest branch of the State Inspectorate. More certificates will be required to confirm the legality of stay in Russia. After checking, if the results are favorable, a driver's license will be issued.

After obtaining new rights, there is no need to change the OSAGO insurance policy. The number of the former VU will be registered in the new document. Be sure to check all the data entered in the rights to avoid mistakes.

Required documents

When replacing old rights, the main task is to collect a package of documents. What is necessary?

Pay attention to medical documents. They often raise questions. You go through the commission yourself. If a fake (purchase) of a certificate is detected, a large punishment is imposed in the form of a fine or criminal liability of the medical staff.

If you go to doctors in another city, make a copy of the license of the medical institution. This document will help the REO staff.

You do not need to undergo training or pass exams on knowledge of traffic rules by changing your rights.

When can a replacement be denied?

When replacing a VU, unforeseen situations often arise that cause a refusal to obtain rights. Here are a few so you can avoid them:

1. A common situation - they refuse to issue due to unpaid fines. Someone forgot about them, someone paid, but did not save receipts. How to act in such cases?

They do not have the right to refuse on this basis (unless you have been deprived of the VU). Ask for a written denial. The document must indicate the reason that has become an obstacle. If they do not give a written answer, then go to the head of the department and write a complaint.

Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses stipulates the terms for paying fines - no more than two months. If you want to be treated according to the law, follow them yourself. Deal with fines on time.

1. Delay in obtaining rights awaits those who moved to another city where they have lived for less than a year. When contacting the traffic police, you will be issued a temporary permit to drive a car for a period of two months. At this time, a check is made for the presence of “tails” in the form of unpaid fines at the former place of residence.

To ensure that the deadlines for the audit do not exceed two months, periodically call and find out about the progress of the case. Keep the situation under control, if the time is up and there is no result, write a complaint addressed to the head of the city traffic police.

1. When entering Russia from a country that has not signed the Vienna Convention, you will be denied a replacement VU. You will have to pass exams, because the rules of the road in countries that have signed the Convention and not participating in it are different.
2. The reason for refusal may be lack of information in the database. For example, you moved from another city where you received your license. You do not have a driver's card, it is impossible to check your documents. This happens in two cases: the rights are bought (acquired illegally); traffic police error.

In such a situation, you will have to go to the city where you received the rights and raise the archives (so that things go faster). It is necessary to restore the basic data, after which the replacement of rights will not cause problems. You can also wait until requests are made, how long this will take is unknown.

A driver's card is not always needed, but in case of loss (loss) of the VU, its presence is necessary.

Penalty for late replacement of VU

The law does not provide for punishment for untimely replacement of the VU. You can contact the traffic police with expired rights, in this case you are not in danger. There is no need to take exams when changing licenses.

• Driving a vehicle with a license that has expired entails a fine of 5 to 15 thousand rubles.
• The size of the fine depends on the picture of your driving history entered in the database and the time of delay. The larger it is, the larger the amount.
• Further, the rights are taken away, the car is sent to a penalty parking lot. You will have to pay for the work of a tow truck and every day the car is idle.

Driving with an expired license is the same as without one. It is better to replace them in time. If a non-standard situation arises, when you do not know what to do, you can ask questions to our lawyers online.
