Driving license has a limited validity period - 10 years from the date of receipt. Then they need to be changed, although there are situations when this needs to be done earlier, for example, when changing the surname. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how the process of exchanging a driver's license takes place.
When it's time to change a driver's license, the main question that worries modern people is whether it is necessary to take an exam at the traffic police. On this score, you can immediately calm down - the replacement of rights does not imply the passage of any exams.
Even at the driving school, teachers warn future drivers that the card issued during the training should be kept especially carefully, since it is a mandatory document when changing the rights. However, in practice, you can get a new driver's license without this document.
A medical certificate is one of the most important documents. You cannot get a new driver's license without it. The certificate that you did while studying at a driving school is most likely already expired, since it has a limited validity period.
It is quite easy to get a new medical record today. There are medical organizations that issue it within one hour, while its cost is almost the same as what you would do in a regular clinic.
Now you need to take care of paying the state fee. This is a small amount, but without a receipt for its payment, a new driver's license will not be issued.
Be sure to make copies of your medical card and fee receipt. These documents must also be submitted to the traffic police.
The remaining documents include a passport, military ID (if available) and an existing driver's license.
You can get new rights at any traffic police department. Going to the window, fill out an application for a replacement driver's license and give the entire package of documents. You will be checked for unpaid fines, if any, they will need to be paid. After that, you will be invited to the very procedure for obtaining a driver's license.
