The procedure for obtaining a driver’s license. Driving License Application

Each driver will have to study the procedure for obtaining a driver’s license. This procedure gives some trouble. Especially when it comes to the initial receipt of a document or its replacement in connection with the expiration. What difficulties can drivers face? What should be remembered when applying for a driver’s license?

Description

Let's start with the appearance of the document. Rights (driver's license) in modern Russia are represented by a plastic card. It resembles bank plastic in size. It stores information about the driver and driving skills.

There is an international driver’s license. They are issued on the basis of a regular driver’s license. They are presented in the form of a small book with a photo of the driver. Here you can see not only information about the owner, but also the driving categories that he mastered earlier.

Validity

The driver's license has a specific validity period. After its completion, you will have to re-receive the rights.

The driver's license of the Russian Federation is really 10 years old. International rights are issued for a maximum of 3 years.

Reasons for sharing

The procedure for obtaining a driver’s license is quite simple with proper preparation for the process. It is important to remember under what circumstances the document needs to be replaced. After all, driving with an invalid driver's license entails a certain responsibility.

The grounds for reissuing rights may be:

• getting a new category of driving;
• a sharp change in appearance or health;
• loss / theft of a document;
• change of personal data of the owner;
• damage to the document;
• paper expiration.

Without reason, the certificate is not exchanged. In addition, the restoration of an existing document or its replacement due to changes in the data on the driver usually causes a minimum of trouble.

Cost

An important point is the cost of providing the studied service. How much are the rights? Do I have to pay at all for their manufacture?

Unfortunately yes. The cost of a driver’s license in 2017 is 2,000 rubles. For the rights of an international type you need to pay 1,300 rubles. A paper driver’s license can also be ordered. It will cost only 500 rubles.

These duties can be reduced by 30%. For this, the order of the document must be made through the "State Services". The discount is available until 2019.

Additional costs include:

• the cost of training (from 10,000 rubles or more);
• price for a medical commission (2.5-5 thousand rubles);
• expenses for the production of certain documents, certificates and photographs.

Among the mandatory costs, as it is not difficult to guess, only the state duty is listed. It is paid before filing an application for the production of a document.

Where to register?

The validity of the driver’s license is already known to us. But where exactly to order the rights?

Registration and issuance are carried out by the traffic police and the traffic police. In addition, in 2017, a driver's license was issued in multifunctional centers.

If you wish, you can file an electronic application for registration or reissue of rights. To do this, you need to use the "State Services" portal.

About ordering a document step by step

The procedure for obtaining a driver’s license does not require any particularly difficult actions from the applicant. Much depends on what a citizen needs - to exchange or first obtain rights.

In general, the algorithm of actions will be as follows:

1. Get driving training.
2. Pass exams.
3. Get a medical commission for drivers.
4. Generate a package of documents for registration of rights.
5. Submit an application for a driver’s license to one of the registration authorities.
6. Pick up ready rights at the appointed time.

These instructions are usually used when first getting a driver’s license. The procedure for exchanging a document eliminates the need for medical examination, training and exams.

Production time

How long does it take to apply for a driver's license? Typically, registration authorities draw up rights within 1 month. So much is the standard waiting period.

But this does not mean at all that the document will be ready in exactly 30 days. In some cases, you have to wait more / less. As soon as the paper is ready, the citizen will be informed about this, for example, by telephone.

Online application

What will be the procedure for obtaining a driver's license via the Internet? The instructions will change a little. You will have to immediately take into account that citizens recently registered at the State Service will not be able to file an electronic application. Indeed, to use the portal you will have to go through account authentication. This operation takes some time. Accordingly, registration on the service will have to be completed in advance.

To get a driver’s license with the help of "State services", you need:

1. Log in to "My Account" on gosuslugi.ru.
2. Go to the block "State Services" - "STSI".
3. Click on the item "Registration of a driver’s license". In the next window, click on the "Get a service" block.
4. Fill out the electronic form following the prompts.
5. Pay the state fee in established amounts. As a rule, citizens use bank cards for this.
6. Indicate the authority in which it will be convenient to pick up the document. Usually we are talking about traffic police at registration and about the MFC.
7. Pick up the finished paper after the notification of the established sample arrives in the "My Account". You will need to take an identity card and a pre-prepared package of documents with you.

Done! In this way, both the initial order of rights and the re-issuance of the studied paper take place.

Documentation collection

What documents for a driver’s license can come in handy? As we have already found out, there are various reasons for reissuing rights. In all cases, the list of documents will be different.

Let's start with the required list. Under any circumstances, a citizen is required to:

• passport;
• registration document;
• photos (3 pieces);
• payment with state duty (paid in established amounts);
• application for the issue of rights.

But this is not a complete list of papers. Next, it will be described in more detail about what documents for a driver's license are required in a particular case.

Retraining / First Acquisition

If the initial registration of a driver’s license is implied, then the following papers will come in handy:

• help with exam results;
• medical board results.

The same is additionally required during retraining (+ old certificate). It is sometimes permitted to bring an old medical certificate - if the commission was passed no more than 2 years ago.

Exchange

Getting a duplicate of the study paper is much easier. As we have already emphasized, in this case there is no need for training and passing a medical commission.

The procedure for obtaining a driver’s license from 2017, thanks to the listed features, has been simplified to the maximum. Among the documents required for the exchange of rights, there are:

• old certificate (if any);
• marriage / divorce certificate;
• other documents confirming the existence of grounds for the exchange of rights (extracts from the registry office, for example).

Of course, all this applies to the previously proposed list of securities. It is advisable to make copies of all documents in advance. The exception is checks - they must be genuine.

Not by registration

The validity of the driver’s license and the basic principles for replacing this document are no longer a mystery. Some are wondering if you can get rights not by registration. After all, the steps listed above help to draw up a document at the place of residence.

Yes, since 2017, every citizen can issue a driver’s license in any city. Only have to act through the MFC. The procedure for obtaining a driver’s license will require the submission of two additional certificates.

Namely:

• extracts from the traffic police on registration that the document was not seized from the applicant earlier;
• temporary registration.

If these papers are not available, then the registration authority may refuse to accept the application in the established form.

International law

Now it’s clear how to get a driver’s license in Russia. What to do if you need to draw up international law?

They are issued after the submission of the following papers:

• passports
• receipts of payment of duty;
• a valid driver’s license;
• photos (preferably color, 3 pieces).

Without Russian rights, an international driver’s license is not issued. Otherwise, there is no difference in the registration of rights of one type or another.

Summary

We studied the procedure for obtaining a driver’s license in 2017. All of these principles apply throughout Russia.

If necessary, more detailed information can be specified in the traffic police. Here you will have to take the details to pay the state fee.
