Lost the rights? Do not panic!

You lost your rights. What to do? Do not panic. The situation is unpleasant, but not hopeless. Of course, inevitable troubles and some money costs will be required, but everything is solved.

So, first make sure that you really lost the right, and not stuck in a hurry somewhere. Search all the places where they can be, check the hidden pockets on the clothes and the bags. Carefully search the car and drawers of the table. Interview the acquaintances, who visited recently (suddenly inadvertently posted on a visit?). Cases of "loss" and subsequent "find" (when a duplicate is already ready) is not so rare.

Not found? Then the matter is more serious. Have to get new ones. Business is not so fast, it will take at least 2 months. While you can travel with a temporary driving license, which is issued to the traffic police on your application and is valid for 1-2 months. But while you do not have it, go to the traffic police on foot or by public transport. Riding a car without rights is highly discouraged.

How to restore rights? First. You call the information center of the traffic police of your district and find out which department gives out driving licenses. Information can also be found on their website.

The second. You collect the necessary documents. This: a passport (preferably civil), a medical certificate (valid), two photos in size 3x4. And also a document confirming the training in a driving school. It would be nice to have a photocopy of rights or at least a photo.

Third. You go to the traffic police, find a department of lost / stolen rights (there must be one) and write a statement that you lost your rights. If you have lost your rights in the event of a natural disaster, a fire, you should definitely indicate it. If you did not lose the right, and they were stolen, you need to attach a certificate from the police.

Fourth. You receive the necessary forms for filling in and pay the state duty for the issuance of a temporary permit (about 500 rubles).

Fifth. Having received a temporary certificate, you go with him for about 2 months. During this time, traffic police officers are checking your request (whether the rights have been lost, and not withdrawn by the DPS officer). Then again you pay a visit to the traffic police. You rent a temporary permit, a photo (if you duplicate the rights will be made on paper, if you do not need a photo on the plastic) and pay the state duty for the new rights. It is 400 rubles for a paper version and 800 for a plastic one.

From 1.03.11 on the territory of the Russian Federation new types of rights are issued, plastic, with automated manufacturing at the place of receipt. The photo is made on the spot, and the state fee is to pay 800 rubles in any case.

When you get a new driver's license (including the situation when you lost the right), you do not have to re-take the theory and driving again. But in case of loss or other loss of rights, it is very important to have a document on driving in the driving school and passing the exam. If there are no supporting documents, the problem becomes an order of magnitude larger.

By the way, you can not get new rights in every traffic police. If you are registered at the place of residence, there will be no problems. You apply to any department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of your federal subject. If the registration address and the actual place of residence do not coincide, the situation is more complicated. There is a temporary registration at the place of residence - well. You can get rights on the spot, there should not be any problems. There is no it - it is necessary to go to restore the rights to your region.

After some time, you can pick up a new identity with the word "duplicate" (in the column "special notes"). In this and all its difference from the old.

Now it's time to think about how more reliable it is to protect your documents from theft or loss. Having lost a lot of time in queues and having given several hundred rubles for your own absent-mindedness, you will inevitably become more organized and less forgetful.
