Making a driver’s license can be troublesome for future drivers. Replacing this document also requires some preparation. Today we have to find out how much the state duty on the replacement of rights is. How do I apply for or replace a driver’s license? Where do ideas come to life? What difficulties can drivers encounter when implementing the task? In reality, everything is much simpler than it seems.
Is duty a fairy tale or a reality?
Let's start with the state fee. This payment is collected from citizens for certain operations and documents. Is there a state duty to replace rights?
Yes. In Russia, the initial production of the document under study must be paid. Reissuing it is also costly. But when exchanging a driver’s license, you’ll have to pay less.
Duty Sizes
How much is the state duty for the replacement of rights? Its size changes from time to time. In 2017, a citizen will have to pay 2,000 rubles for a driver’s license.
But that is not all. As already mentioned, the initial production of a document is more expensive. New drivers will have to pay about 6-7 thousand rubles. Of them:
- duty for the manufacture of paper - 2,000 rubles;
- passing a driving test - 3,500 rubles;
- theoretical exam - up to 1,500 rubles.
This is not all the waste. Additionally, you will have to part with 2-3 thousand rubles for passing the medical commission. Therefore, the manufacture of a driver’s license under certain circumstances requires significant costs.
Paper carrier
A driver’s license is a small plastic card that displays information about the driver and his driving category. It is in this form that rights are represented. But there is another interpretation.
This is a paper driver license. This is a temporary driver's license, which is issued at the initiative of the applicant. With it, you can drive a vehicle without a plastic card. Paper rights are necessary for those who do not want to remain a pedestrian during the consideration of a request for an exchange of certificates.
Of course, they also have to pay. In this case, the state duty for the replacement of rights will cost 500 rubles. No discounts, deferrals or other bonuses. As a rule, drivers rarely issue temporary rights. Therefore, these expenses are not required.
International design
There is another scenario. In Russia, you can apply for an international driving license. The list of documents requested to translate ideas into reality will not change. But the cost of the service will change.
Are you planning to replace the rights in the traffic police? The state duty for a driver's license of an international standard is 1,600 rubles. No more, no less. These prices are relevant in 2017.
Payment Methods
The cost of state fees for the replacement of rights is already known. How can I make the appropriate payment?
Today you can pay the fee:
- in any bank of the Russian Federation;
- through an ATM or payment terminal;
- by using electronic wallets;
- using payment terminals in the traffic police;
- through the public service portal.
Despite the fact that the fee for a driver’s license is strictly regulated, in 2017, citizens can reduce its size. But how?
Discount on payment
In Russia today, they are trying by all means to attract the population to cashless payments and the State Services portal. With it, you can draw up documents, transfer taxes and duties, receive municipal services. It is very convenient, but not everyone agrees to use the service. The cost of state fees for the replacement of rights is already known. But you can change it a little.
The state decided to offer drivers a discount on state duty for the replacement of rights. You can reduce it by 30%, but only if you deposit money through the "State Services" in the form of cashless payments.
Thus, the size of the fee will be reduced to 1,400 rubles. This is a rather rare phenomenon, which not everyone knows about. The discount does not apply to paper rights. They will have to pay in full.
Where to exchange
Many people wonder where the replacement of rights occurs. This is a completely normal question, especially from novice drivers.
On the territory of the Russian Federation, you can make a driver's license in several bodies. Namely:
- through the public services portal;
- at the MFC;
- at the traffic police / traffic police by registration.
This is about the exchange of existing rights. Most often, drivers turn to the MFC to implement their ideas. But the primary production of the document, as a rule, is carried out through the traffic police. Multifunctional centers have not yet been empowered to obtain a driver's license from scratch.
Reasons to replace
When may the operation under study be required? It is clear how much the replacement of rights costs. But it is not clear to everyone under what circumstances a citizen should think about the implementation of this task.
Today, a driver's license is valid for 10 years. After that, the citizen is obliged to replace him. Otherwise, he is forbidden to drive a vehicle.
The expiration of rights is not the only basis for their exchange. Most often, a new identity is required:
- upon receipt of the next category of driving;
- if a citizen has lost / ruined his rights;
- when changing personal data (last name, for example);
- when the state of human health changes (for example, vision deteriorates, and the driver puts on glasses).
The state duty for the replacement of rights does not change. She is one for all situations. The reason for the exchange of the document does not affect its value.
When to pay
At what point is it necessary to pay the state for the issuance of the studied paper? The answer to this question will not keep you waiting. It is enough to study the documents to replace the rights.
Experts, like drivers, recommend paying a fee for a driver’s license shortly before applying for this service. This is usually done a few hours before submitting the application in the prescribed form.
Please note that until the citizen pays the fee, his request for an exchange of a driver’s license will not be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to solve such a problem in advance.
Preparation of documents
What documents can a citizen use to replace rights? The exact package of papers depends on the reason for applying for the service. Nevertheless, it is possible to generally describe the requested documents.
Among them are usually distinguished:
- application (filled in place);
- passport (or other identification card);
- certificate of registration (not needed if a passport is presented);
- reasons for making changes (for example, medical reports, marriage or divorce certificates);
- certificates of medical commission;
- old driver's license (if any);
- receipt of paid duty;
- extracts on the successful passing of driving tests (for the initial production of a document or upon receipt of the next driver's category);
- photos (2-3 pieces, color, 3x4).
Nothing more is needed. It is worth noting that for the exchange of a driver’s license under the new rules, there is no need for a medical certificate. This indulgence is given to everyone who decided to change the driver’s license before the expiration of this document. In other cases, a medical certificate is required, and fresh.
