Instructions
Step 1
An international driver's license is valid only if you have a regular one, that is, you need to take both documents on a trip abroad. In the department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Russian Federation, international licenses are issued without passing exams, but their validity period does not exceed the period of validity of a Russian driver's license. The sample of international driving license was approved by the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated 09.28.1998 No. 603 "On an international driver's license".
Step 2
Outwardly, the form of an international driver's license looks like an A6 book. It is covered with a gray cover at the top and consists of 3 inner pages, 3 front pages and 8 inner white pages, which are stitched with thread along the entire length of the first fold line.
Step 3
To obtain an international driver's license, submit to the traffic police at the place of residence a Russian driver's license, a photograph, an international passport and a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a medical certificate of admission to driving, a receipt for payment of a state duty.
Step 4
The entire procedure for obtaining an international driver's license takes about half an hour. Then you become the proud owner of an international driver's license.
Step 5
Please note that now on the Internet you can find many ads for the sale of international. Don't fall for these tricks. Only government agencies, that is, traffic police (traffic police, police, etc.), are engaged in the issuance of international driving licenses, but not commercial structures.
Step 6
However, if there is no opportunity to deal with the registration of an international driver's license, make a translation of the Russian license into the language of the country where you are going and have it certified by a notary. Basically, the rental office that will rent you a car does not care whether you have an international driver's license or not. But this fact may not be indifferent to the police of European countries. The thing is that on ordinary Russian driving license, nowhere is there a translation about what types of transport you have the right to drive. International law will save you from this kind of trouble.
