10 years - exactly for this period a driver's license is issued on the territory of the Russian Federation. At the end of this period, the rights must be changed to new ones This is the so-called extension (prolongation) of the driver's license. But for many drivers, the time when they need to get a new document turns into a real torture. After all, they do not know how to do this.
Necessary
- -the passport;
- -old driver's license;
- -receipt for payment of the state duty;
- -medical certificate of the driver's fitness to drive a vehicle and its copy
Instructions
Step 1
If your driver's license is about to expire, make sure to exchange it at least one month before that date. Well, or at least 2 weeks in advance. Otherwise, you will not be able to drive a vehicle until you get a new license. To exchange them, contact any department of the MREO (of course, it is best to choose the one that applies to you at the place of residence). Take the necessary documents with you: a passport, a medical certificate that records your suitability for driving a vehicle, a copy of it and, of course, an old driver's license.
Step 2
Do not forget to also pay the state fee for issuing you a new driver's license. Now it is about 800 rubles. This can be done in any Savings Bank. If you are not sure that you will find the financial details of your traffic police department at the cash desk, then take them in advance directly from the department. Attach receipts for payment to all documents that you hand over to the inspectors.
Step 3
Previously, you could choose which driver's license you want to have - old (large) or new (small card). However, from March 1, 2011, in accordance with the international Convention on Road Traffic, only a license of a new type is issued, i.e. small. You do not need to bring photos for these, you will be photographed on the spot. And the cost of the work and the photo is already included in the state duty.
Step 4
If your medical certificate is about to expire, make sure to update it first. To do this, you can go through a medical commission in your district clinic. And you can do this in specialized medical centers, where they specialize in the medical examination of drivers.
Step 5
After you hand over all your documents through the window to the receiving inspector, you will have to wait about 2 hours. Then go to the document issuance window and pick up your new driver's license.
