How much does it cost to replace rights upon expiration. Expired driver's license: what to do

The Dust of Rights

Replacing or restoring a Russian driver’s license requires significant time and money. Moreover, their lion's share is spent on passing the driver’s medical board. We found out how to optimize all processes.

Sooner or later, every driver in Russia is faced with the need to obtain a new driver’s license. The old can be lost, chewed by your beloved dog or stolen by a borsetochnik. The majority changes their “rights” for another reason - the banal expiration of the “crusts”. This event occurs in the life of the driver every 10 years.

In this regard, we recall that starting from the autumn of last year, it is already impossible to change the I / O in advance (one day, one week or a couple of years) before the expiration date (we will talk about this next traffic cop in the next publication). And the driver’s license lost in any way in the STSI will be restored to you. But the validity of the new will be the same as that of the old.

Therefore, it makes sense to go to the traffic police to change old rights to new no earlier than the day after the expiration of their “expiration date”.

What do you need to have with you for this visit to the traffic police?

Quite a bit: old rights (they will be taken from you there), a passport (or some other identification document), a receipt on payment of state duty and a medical certificate. You can also take a certificate of completion of a driving school, as some experts advise. To personally make sure that it is not interesting to anyone.

To save time, we recommend paying the state fee in advance. Recall that since the beginning of 2015, it has grown. And upon receipt of a paper driver’s license is now 800 rubles, and in the case of a plastic card - 2000 rubles. It makes sense to print out the receipt in advance by downloading its template from the official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of Russia and pay at the bank. Do not forget, by printing out the receipt form, in the special menu of the site, choose the name of a specific traffic police unit - of where you are going to change rights.

Everything is clear with the passport, some difficulties will probably arise with the medical certificate. Since April of this year, many people want to change their rights. To get it, you can go through all the circles of the medical examination in your district clinic. This is budgetary in terms of financial costs, but it will suit either a pensioner or an unemployed person by the amount of time killed - in lines with old women. Most people who change the rights to obtain medical certificates for the traffic police resort to the services of private medical centers. For my money, but it will take only an hour or two to visit all the doctors. Including the procedure of taking the brain electroencephalogram (EEG), which has become mandatory since the spring of 2014. Without it, then you can’t see a doctor’s visa from a psychiatric clinic - it is also necessary, but more on that below.

Now is the time to dwell on the issue of choosing a medical institution issuing certificates. It certainly must have an appropriate license. Help from an unlicensed office will not be accepted in the traffic police. As a rule, lists of licensed medical centers are posted in the local MREO traffic police. It makes sense to go there first and take a picture on your mobile phone. Further, by calling these institutions, it is worth identifying those of them in which EEG is done. Among the remaining, we select doctors with the most acceptable price tag. Before visiting the medical center, you can stock up on your 4x6 photo. She will stick to the help form. Your photo will save you 100-200 rubles, although in every self-respecting driver's medical board you will be photographed with pleasure.

To navigate the prices for medical services, let’s say that at the moment in Moscow you can go through a medical examination with an EEG for 2500-3000 rubles. Of these, the EEG will account for approximately half the cost. But this is only the beginning: the driver’s medical board is not considered passed until there are no notes from the district neuropsychiatric and narcological dispensaries to which you are assigned territorially on the certificate form. In a psychiatric clinic, we head to the registry. They will all say: which office to go to, what papers to fill out and where to deposit 560 rubles per visit. You can pay in the terminal available right there. If you didn’t bother to do the EEG beforehand, they will be sent to your specialist. We'll have to sit in line with colleagues in misfortune and fork out another 1800 rubles. Here you are sure to make sure that private physicians would be a little cheaper, and even without a queue. Next, with the papers filled out, an EEG printout and a payment receipt, move to the psychiatrist. Here, as a rule, there are no special queues. Present your EEG to the doctor, answer a series of stupid on-duty questions from the series “Are you not fit, what’s the hour?” And get the cherished psychiatrist’s stamp for your reference.

The next item in our program is a drug dispensary. We visit the registry again, pay again in the terminal - this time 530 rubles - and stomp to the narcologist. He asks stupid questions as "crazy", but with an alcohol-addict bias. Again we don’t laugh and answer with a straight face, getting a mark of a narcologist in the certificate for patience. That's it: on this, the driver’s medical board is considered passed. By the way, you can go through the dispensaries in any order, the main thing is to specify the opening hours of both establishments in advance. If the payment terminal in the dispensary’s premises suddenly does not work, you will have to go to the nearest Sberbank branch.

Having received all the required marks on the medical certificate form, you can go to the traffic police. The certificate is considered valid over the next two years. If there is a pre-paid state duty, the procedure for replacing rights in MREO takes a minimum of time. In about 20 minutes you will be photographed and a brand new driver’s license will be made.

A driver's license in the Russian Federation remains valid for a limited amount of time. Therefore, it is required to exchange the old document for a new one on time.

Individual citizens wish to implement this procedure ahead of schedule - a similar issue is covered in sufficient detail in the legislation.

Where to see the document expiration date

The use of cars of various categories on the roads of the country requires a special document - the rights to drive a car of the corresponding category.

In order to avoid a fine and other problems in the future, you will need to necessarily open the categories that take place in a particular case.

It should be noted that the rights to control vehicles issued by the traffic police have a limited duration.

Until expiration date

Often, the driver wants to replace his rights before the expiration date. And the reasons for this can be very different. For example, there will be a departure for a long period of time or otherwise.

It is also important to note that before the expiration of the driver’s license it will be possible to replace in the following cases:

• if there is a change in the personal data of a particular citizen - surname, name or patronymic (for example, when a woman gets married - it is strictly necessary to change her driver's license);
• for some reason, the document itself became unusable, worn out - the information printed on it for some reason cannot be read;
• the rights themselves were stolen or lost and impossible to find;
• the occurrence of medical indications, the consequence of which is the need to make certain amendments to the driver’s license;
• if the replacement of foreign rights by Russian.

Citizens of other states who have received citizenship and a residence permit are required to replace their basic driver's license from the moment of registration or arrival in the country.

It should be noted that the replacement of a driver’s license is not an obligation, but a citizen’s right.

But it is important to note that the replacement process itself must be carried out - if there will be a process of driving a vehicle.

In all designated cases, except for one, a standard list of documents will be sufficient to replace rights. The only exception is the theft of a driver’s license.

In this case, you will need to get a special certificate from law enforcement agencies that the crime was committed. In this case, it will be possible to get a duplicate driver’s license.

The optimal solution in case of approaching the expiration date of the driver’s license would be to contact the traffic police for 10-15 days.

Today, driving with an expired driver’s license implies liability for (operation of the vehicle in the absence of rights).

The size of the fine for such a violation may vary from 5 to 15 thousand rubles.

Some drivers are faced with situations when the traffic police refuse to issue new rights, motivating them to not expire.

Failures of this kind are a violation. In this case, a written refusal should be requested from the inspection officer.

Upon deprivation

Is it possible to exchange a driver’s license ahead of time in another city? This is possible, but only in the standard case. With the removal of VU in court, everything will be much more complicated.

In this case, getting a driver’s license ahead of schedule is only possible in one way - to prove that there is innocence.

To obtain a different court decision, you must:

• apply for review;
• gather evidence;
• to take part in the proceedings.

What the law says

According to legislative norms, it is possible to start the replacement of rights 20 days before the expiration of their validity. Moreover, the refusal in such a case from the traffic police will be illegal.

This moment is best worked out beforehand. To deal with all the nuances in advance. This is the only way to avoid problems. A review of the law will avoid many difficulties.

The procedure for changing a driver’s license is associated with a number of specific points, difficult situations. It is best to familiarize yourself with all of them in advance. This will allow you to implement the process with minimal time.

How is the replacement of a driver’s license in 2017. The validity of a driver’s license in Russia is limited, it expires 10 years after the issuance of the document.

The term itself is not short, and therefore many drivers forget that the rights are out of date. When asked when the driver’s license expired: what to do, the answer is simple - you need to change the license. But does everyone know the procedure for replacing the certificate, various nuances and existing rules?

When it is necessary to change a driver’s license (WU), it’s easy to find out - the end date is indicated on the rights. Still VU change in circumstances:

• when changing the driver’s personal data, for example, when changing the name;
• in case of loss of the document or its theft;
• if the driver’s license is damaged and it is impossible to view all the data on them;
• when opening a new category;
• in case of health problems.

The driver will have to receive a new certificate if changes have occurred with his health, for example, now he can only operate the machine with glasses or contact lenses.

Where to go when replacing rights? WU replacement is carried out only in traffic police departments at the driver’s place of residence.

There are exceptions to the rules:

To obtain new rights in 2017, the driver must:

• pass a medical examination;
• write a statement to the traffic police.

Documents required to obtain a new WU:

• personal passport;
• medical certificate;
• receipt confirming payment of state duty;
• old driver’s license.

Passing a theoretical exam and driving is not required, it is not necessary to bring a receipt, you just need to remember to pay. If desired, the driver can take back the old rights, but they will not be valid.

Medical certificate

To undergo a physical examination at a specialized medical institution, you must bring:

• passport;
• old WU;
• photo of an established sample;
• military ID (if the driver is obliged).

Licensed institutions have the right to issue a certificate; a medical examination is also allowed in private clinics. The medical certificate is issued on a special form, protected from fakes, the document is registered in the journal of the medical institution. It is necessary that the notes should include notes from all doctors, including a psychiatrist and narcologist.

The new rule came into force in February 2017, and now it is not necessary to undergo a medical examination and receive a medical certificate in two cases:

Fines for expired rights

No penalties are provided for a delay in a driver’s license; moreover, a driver can go to receive a new VU at any time, even five years after the expiration of his license. But penalties are provided for driving a car with expired rights, in this case a fine of 5 to 15 thousand rubles is provided for an offense. Additionally, the car will be sent to the penalty parking, its car owner can pick up only after receiving a new WU.

Some drivers wish to get a new license ahead of schedule, for example, a month before the end of their validity. No official regulations on this matter have been established; it is possible to obtain new rights, according to the answer on the official traffic police resource of the Russian Federation, six months before the expiration of this certificate.

Penalties for early acquisition of rights are not provided, and if the driver who arrives to receive a new VU a little earlier than the deadline, the traffic police refuse, their actions are recognized as unlawful.

Is there a need to pay fines before replacing a driver’s license

Several years ago, before changing the VU, the traffic police inspectors first demanded to pay all the fines the driver had and, if not paid, could refuse to obtain new rights. In 2017, such actions were recognized as unlawful, but it is better not to save up debts, other penalties are provided for late payments - untimely paid fines are doubled.

The need for exams when replacing the certificate

If the driver already has rights, passing exams when replacing them is not required. Moreover, a retake is not necessary even if the driver did not come to receive the license several years after the expiration of the VU term. Suppose that the deadline ended in 2009, and a person came to receive a new VU in 2015 - you just need to collect all the required documents to replace the rights and receive them on a common basis.

   Hello! My driver’s license is about to expire, in what time should I change it so that there will be no problems later? And are there any fines - if I change it at the wrong time - and a little later, because I’m not driving yet ... ?

   Good day! In 2015, I received Russian citizenship. Prior to that, he lived in Belarus. It's time to replace the right to drive (driving experience 20 years). Passed a medical examination, paid a fee, ready to pass the exam.
  The traffic police in Novocherkassk told me that I also need to finish a driving school, although I have a document on the end of a driving school in Belarus. And they explained that the rights granted in Belarus, with which I traveled all over Europe, do not correspond to the international model.
   How should I be in this situation?

Dmitriy 12.04.2016 05:47

Hello. I am a citizen of Ukraine, received Russian citizenship. I decided to exchange Ukrainian rights for Russian. Categories A, B, C, D are open. Passed the exam and I was told that for category D I have to pass the practice. Do I have to pass the driving test or is it enough just for the exam?
