If your old driver's license expires, you will have to exchange it for a new one that complies with the International Convention on Road Traffic. On the territory of the Russian Federation, they were introduced as early as March 1, 2011.
Instructions
Step 1
However, before contacting the MREO for the exchange of rights, you will have to collect a certain package of documents. It usually includes: - medical certificate confirming that the driver can drive vehicles (copy and original); - passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation; - driver's license to be replaced.
Step 2
The main difficulties may arise with the passage of a medical examination. Not because the driver may have any health problems, but only because the examination will have to take place on a first-come, first-served basis. And the queues at the clinics are long. And in special medical institutions, which may also have to be visited due to the specifics of your work (narcological and neuropsychiatric dispensaries), are also quite impressive.
Step 3
That is why it is worth taking care to start issuing a certificate at least a couple of weeks before the expiration of the old license, so that there are no problems with traffic police officers who appear on the road is not always helpful for drivers.
Step 4
But after all the documents have been collected, you still have to stand in line at the MREO, having previously called and found out the opening hours of this traffic police department. Since many motorists issue new rights literally at the last moment before the expiration of the old ones, there is almost always a large crowd of people in this department. Therefore, it is better to take a queue in the early morning or come in the afternoon, if it is convenient for you.
Step 5
Having given all the documents, you will receive a receipt for payment of the state duty, but not earlier than when the traffic police officer verifies their authenticity. Take the details of the road inspection department and contact the nearest branch of Sberbank to deposit the required amount to the specified account. In some branches of the traffic police, special terminals have already been installed, through which the state duty can also be paid. By the way, this amount also includes the cost of a photo for new rights. It will be done directly at the MREO.
Step 6
You will receive a new driver's license in a few hours. Most likely, already out of line.
