Replacing a driver’s license: procedures and documents

Replacing a driver’s license sooner or later will affect every driver. Therefore, today we will get acquainted with the procedure for the implementation of the task. Solving the problem with the right approach and timely preparation is not difficult. The main thing is to know where to start. It is hard to believe, but you can apply for an exchange in / not only personally, but also through Internet technologies. We’ll also talk about such a technique. Only in practice, not everyone uses this option to solve the problem. This is due to the fact that the Internet request provides many conditions for its successful processing.

Reasons for sharing

When is a driver license required? Citizens just do not exchange the relevant documentation.

In 2018, the study operation may be required if:

• the document has expired;
• the driver receives a new category of driving;
• change of personal data or gender;
• health status has changed;
• rights stolen;
• the document became worthless.

In addition, the driver’s help certificate exchange is useful if the person just lost the w / o. Fortunately, such an option is extremely rare.

Service Providers

What is needed to replace a driver’s license? It is enough to prepare a number of documents and follow the simplest instructions. The procedure for obtaining a new I / O is extremely simple. Especially with proper preparation.

Where to apply for the corresponding service? She is provided in different places. For example, you can submit a request of the established form through:

• any traffic police body;
• MREO;
• MFC.

As we already said, the Internet also has a service for submitting applications for re-issuance of a premium. It is called "Public Services". Only with this resource will have to work further when using Internet technologies.

Replacement Instructions

What is needed to replace a driver’s license? It is enough to adhere to the simplest actions to implement the task.

Ideally, the order of exchange will be as follows:

1. Generate a package of certificates needed to obtain the corresponding service. It will vary depending on the situation.
2. Fill out an application for a new driver’s license.
3. Pay state duty for the operation.
4. Contact one of the registration authorities for the implementation of the task.
5. Pick up new rights at the appointed time.

It would seem that there are no problems. But in fact, the process of replacing a driver’s license gives drivers a lot of trouble. Especially at the stage of preparing the necessary documents.

Commission for the driver - is it mandatory

For example, many people know that rights are granted only after passing a medical examination in an established manner. But what about replacing the relevant documentation?

The driver’s commission will still have to go through. But not always. A medical certificate to replace a driver’s license is required in exceptional cases. Namely, if:

• The document is received for the first time;
• certificate is exchanged upon expiration;
• new rights are issued in connection with changes in health.

If the certificate is exchanged for other reasons, you can not go through the commission of the established form. The health certificate is attached to the application at the request of the applicant.

Service Documentation

What documents are needed to replace a driver’s license? This is the most difficult question of all. Therefore, to begin with, we consider the general case. Suppose that a v / v exchange is due to the expiration of the paper.

In such circumstances, the following components are useful to the applicant:

• identification;
• Personal Photos;
• a completed application form (taken from the registration authority);
• receipt of payment of state duty for the operation;
• old driver's license;
• medical certificate made no later than 1 year ago.

After presenting this package of certificates, a person will quickly replace the old I / O. But sometimes you have to apply for the service for other reasons. And as we already said, a person will need a different package of certificates. We assume that the above list is the main one.

Additional statements

What documents are needed to replace a driver’s license? The answer depends on the circumstances. And therefore, the issue under study gives drivers a lot of trouble.

Depending on the situation, a citizen will need:

• certificates of marriage or divorce;
• certificates of change of surname, name or patronymic;
• extract from the police (required in case of theft or loss of the document being studied);
• a driver’s card with the results of driving training (when assigning a new category).

In some cases, a copy of the court ruling on the deprivation of the military may be useful. It is necessary to determine the period at which the right to restoration of rights appears.

Important: a medical certificate for the bulk of cases is not required. If there are no old rights or they have become unusable, you can also not take them with you.

Perhaps this is all. In fact, coping with the task is much easier than it seems. And even a person who does not understand anything in paperwork can easily change his driver’s license.

Cost

The procedure for replacing a driver’s license is now clear. And how much will you have to pay for the corresponding service?

In Russia, in 2018, the state duty for the exchange of a driver’s license under any circumstances costs 2,000 rubles. The rights of the international standard will cost 1600 rubles. They are issued only with a "local" driver's license.

Temporary rights (on paper) cost only 500 rubles. But people hardly encounter such a payment. Not every driver, when exchanging basic documentation, orders a temporary analogue for himself.

Government Services and Submission of Request

And how to work with the "State Services" portal? Replacement of a driver’s license is available only to people who have registered in advance on the portal and have confirmed their identity. Such operations take about 15 days. Therefore, an account must be set up in advance.

After that you will need:

1. Log in to your profile on gosuslugi.ru.
2. Select the item "Replacing a driver's license" in the service catalog.
3. Click on the appropriate reason for the exchange.
4. Click on the "Get ..." button. On the page with this control you can find information about the exchange of a / c.
5. Fill out an electronic application. To do this, it is enough to print the data requested in empty fields.
6. If possible, upload photos or scans of the references listed above.

Important: when paying the fee through the "State Services" before January 1, 2019, a citizen is offered a 30% discount. Therefore, the user will be able to save a little on the exchange of a driver’s license of the established form.

Terms of service

Another important nuance is the deadline for replacing a driver’s license. Under current law, a citizen cannot drive a vehicle without a military unit. Therefore, replacing documentation can cause a lot of problems. Especially if you do not order a temporary paper counterpart.

The exchange of rights is carried out within 30 days from the date of application of the citizen with the application of the established form. If you send a request through the MFC or through Internet technologies, this will not affect the operation. The law sets a period for the provision of services equal to 1 month.

Important: a longer wait may occur if the exchange is due to theft or loss of a document. A visit to the police with a statement of the appropriate form additionally takes about two weeks.

Summary

We studied the procedure for replacing a driver’s license. This is a fairly simple operation, if you thoroughly prepare for its decision. Therefore, everyone will be able to cope with the task.

From now on, a driver can easily replace a driver’s license. Especially if you do not need to undergo a medical examination. The last operation involves visiting various specialists. Their list depends on the age of the applicant and on the category of driving license.
