In most cases, you do not need to re-confirm the categories of vehicles that you are entitled to drive when you change your driver's license. The only exception is if you haven't been driving for a year or more. In practice, if you decide to restore your rights after a long time. In such a situation, you will have to re-take both the theory exam and the driving.
It is necessary
- - passport;
- - a document of registration at the place of stay, if you confirm the category not at the place of residence;
- - a set of photographs for a driver's license (the number depends on the situation: from two);
- - a valid certificate of passing the driver's medical examination;
- - driver's examination card or confirmation from the traffic police department that issued the previous driver's license;
- - a receipt for payment of state fees for exams and issuance of a driver's license;
- - application of the established form;
- - the services of an instructor to restore driving skills (may not be required, but it is safer to use them).
Instructions
Step 1
Take a photo. To do this, contact any photo studio and inform you that you need a photo for a driver's license. The law allows both black and white and color photography, so the choice is yours. Directly in the traffic police, two photographs are needed, but if you do not have a valid medical certificate, one will also be required for registration.
Step 2
Re-pass the driver's medical examination if your last certificate has expired. Most private medical centers and many municipal clinics will help with this. The service for issuing a certificate is paid. Before contacting the municipal clinic, take a certificate for the traffic police in the narcological and neuropsychiatric dispensaries at the place of residence or stay. In private, you can usually go through the examination of a narcologist and psychiatrist for a fee.
Step 3
Pay the state fee for exams and the issuance of a new driver's license. Find out the details in the nearest traffic police department or on the website of its regional office. You can pay at any branch of Sberbank of Russia. Often in the examination departments of the traffic police, terminals are installed through which you can pay all fees right before the delivery of documents.
Step 4
Contact the traffic police department with a set of documents. If everything is okay with them, you will be assigned exam dates. Surrendering them again is a dubious pleasure. But there is also a relatively pleasant point. If you had several categories open, you will take driving once for one category of your choice, and not for all available ones.
Step 5
Take a few driving lessons to regain your skill. Practice shows that after such a long break it is not at all superfluous. In general, the recovery of a skill takes less time than the initial acquisition, but everything is individual.
Step 6
Refresh your memory of the rules of the road. This is especially true for drivers who passed the previous exam before the entry into force of the new traffic rules in 2011.
Step 7
On the appointed dates, come to the exams and if they are successfully passed on time, you will receive a new driver's license with the right to drive vehicles of all categories you previously had.
