Every year, the number of men and women driving a vehicle increases. In order for them to master the skill of driving a car and learn to recognize various road signs and markings, special classes and driving schools work in all cities of the Russian Federation. Most of them are concentrated in the capital. There are also numerous establishments that allow changing the rights. A driver lives in Moscow or the Moscow Region; sooner or later, he is faced with the question of obtaining a new license allowing him to drive a vehicle. Where should I go? What documents are needed for the process of changing rights? Where to change rights in Moscow to a person with temporary registration? What should be considered in this process? These and many other issues are covered in this article.

We get and change rights
As you know, if a person decides to join the community of drivers of the country, then he needs to go through several procedures. First of all, this is obtaining rights. The traffic police gives every adult citizen of the country a chance to join the ranks of drivers. In this case, a driverās license is issued for a certain period. After the expiration of this period of time, you must change the rights. In Moscow, in St. Petersburg or in another city, this can be done in institutions specially designed for this purpose.
Lost ID? Getting new is easy!
The reasons for replacing the certificate may be a lot. As said, the most common of these is expiration. It is also necessary to change the rights (in Moscow and any other city), if the certificate became unusable, was lost or stolen.
It is also desirable, but absolutely not necessary, to get a new ācrustā if a person changes his last name, first name or middle name. It often happens that a citizen initially passes a test for driving a passenger vehicle. Therefore, in his certificate will be affixed only one given category. Gradually, a person may want to expand the list by adding a bus, freight transport or motorcycle there. Then he undergoes additional training, receiving a special certificate after the course. However, only one category is indicated in the driver's license for driving a vehicle. That is why a replacement of rights is necessary. In Moscow, this procedure has no special differences from other regions. The opportunity to get a new certificate in the capital is provided to those citizens who are registered or have temporary registration in the city.
We go to any department of the traffic safety inspection
Several years ago, the traffic police of the capital publicly announced that changing the rights in Moscow would be easier. Now, in order to obtain a new certificate, it is enough to visit any unit of the State Inspection for Road Safety. This innovation helps to facilitate the process of changing rights and prevent the occurrence of huge queues. This rule applies to residents of the regions. That is, a person who is registered in Moscow can change a driverās license in Moscow. Anyone who lives in the region has the right to visit any regional unit, and a resident of Krasnoyarsk - in the departments of his city, etc.
Inquiries and medical board
After choosing an institution, you need to collect a package of necessary documents. In order to change the rights, a person will need:
- A statement stating information about the desire to obtain a new driverās license.
- A valid passport or identity document with a registration mark.
- Medical certificate according to the established sample and its copy.
- Photos are 3 * 4 in size.
- Old rights.
- Receipt of payment of duty. As a rule, you can go through this procedure directly in the traffic police department. At the same time, the size of the state fee is different for different types of driver's licenses. So, national rights for a period of ten years are issued after payment to the cashier of 800 rubles. The reason that led to the change of identity does not matter. The state fee for issuing rights for a period of up to two months (temporary) for the period of various checks is 500 rubles.
- If the reason for changing the certificate is a new surname, name or patronymic, you must also provide a document that confirms this fact.
Additional materials
In addition to the above, the applicant may require a certificate proving the completion of courses at a driving school and obtaining rights in Moscow or another city in Russia. However, the so-called driver card is not available to everyone. As a rule, those people who were trained in an external driving school do not have this document. The presence of this certificate is desirable, but not necessary. The reason for the requirement of the traffic police to show the driverās card can be only certain reasons. For example, doubts that the old rights of a citizen are real. It is noteworthy that fake certificates are quite common.
Waiting time
As a rule, a new certificate is issued to a person on the day of application. However, there are exceptions. So, if you need confirmation from other regions about the issued medical certificate or driverās license, the commission sends a corresponding request to the authorized bodies. Also, attention is paid to committed offenses. Until all circumstances are clarified and various checks are carried out, the applicant is granted temporary rights for up to two months.
Likely difficulties
There is nothing complicated in changing an identity. However, sometimes you can encounter some "pitfalls". So, if you decide to exchange rights, make sure that all the necessary documents are in your folder before visiting the traffic police department. This is especially true of a copy of a medical certificate. The hope that there will be a photocopier somewhere near the inspection may not be confirmed. As a result, time spent and nerves.
As a rule, a citizen receives a new driverās license at the place of his permanent or temporary registration. However, he can live in a completely different area. In order to reduce the time required to collect documents necessary for changing rights, a citizen passes a commission at the place of his deployment. In principle, the State Road Safety Inspectorate accepts such certificates without any problems. However, trouble also occurs. Sometimes the traffic police sends a request to a medical institution: whether they issued this certificate there or not, whether the organization has a license for this, etc. Such information is available by phone, but sometimes the commission sends an official letter. Therefore, in order to save time, you must either stock up on a copy of the license of a medical institution or go through a commission at the place of registration.
To receive international rights or not?
Many drivers believe that a national driverās license issued in Russia gives them the right to drive a vehicle abroad. However, this is not quite true. If a citizen received the rights before March 1, 2001, then in order to drive a car in a European country or any other state he needs to obtain international rights. In Moscow, this can be done in any traffic police department. In accordance with the Vienna Convention, a driverās license must contain numbered driver information. Old versions do not have such information.
An interesting fact: abroad, according to the Russian national driverās license, you can easily rent a car. But in the event of a traffic accident, the police will consider the citizen of the Russian Federation as a person without rights. That is why it is necessary to have both a national and international driver's license. The latter is an additional certificate, which provides a translation of the main document authorizing the management of the vehicle (Russian rights).
