Replacement of rights

Since 1999, in our country, the driver is given plastic rights that comply with the European standards, in which his data are indicated - name, patronymic, surname, address, date and place of his birth, and the series and number of the license, the permitted category of driving. On this document there is also a stamp of the traffic police department, the signature of the owner, the term of its validity is also indicated there.

Replacement of rights takes a certain amount of time, so it's better to take care of it beforehand so that, having encountered unplanned situations, do not stay for a while without a car, because driving with expired documents is equated to driving a car without documents at all. And it is not necessary to do this on the very last day, when the expiration date of the certificate expires. Very many drivers undergo this procedure in advance, for several months, and even for a year, when they have free time.

According to the law, the replacement of rights must be carried out in the territory where the driver is registered, i.e. On the fact of stay or residence. To be engaged in an exchange it is necessary personally, "powers of attorney" in this case do not operate.

There are several reasons for sharing driver's licenses. Consider the most common of them.

The most common reason for the exchange of a driver's license is to change it to a new one. According to the current legislation, this document is issued for a ten-year period, and after the expiration of this period, the replacement of rights is necessary.

In this case, the driver in the traffic police department needs to write an application with which to present his identity card, passport or identity card, which indicates registration, a medical certificate and one of his photocopies, a receipt for payment of the fee and two photos with the left corner.

Actually, the very replacement of rights, documents for the implementation of which need to be collected in advance, takes two to three hours. At the same time, every driver should know that if he received his rights before January 1, 1992 in any republic of the former USSR, he must definitely pass a theoretical examination to the traffic police.

If, for any reason, the car owner wishes to change his driving category and get another, he must collect the same package of documents. Today in our country new categories and subcategories have been introduced, for example C, which makes it possible to drive a car weighing not more than three and a half tons, CE and C1E with the same vehicle but having a 750 kg trailer, etc.

In this case, the driver, except for the theoretical one, must pass a practical examination in the traffic police, and in the package of documents there must be an examination card. The only exception is the category E: the necessary knowledge of the theory is not checked.

Replacement of rights when changing the name of the owner, as well as in case of loss of the driver's license or its further unfitness, is carried out on the same principle. You just need to collect all the necessary documents, including certificates confirming that the owner has passed all the necessary examinations for this category, as well as evidence that proves the change in the driver's data - name, patronymic or surname, and already contact them in Relevant authorities.

At the same time, for those drivers who drove the vehicle for the last year, the rights are replaced without passing the necessary examinations. You just need to provide the appropriate confirmation: a certificate from the place of work, where the registration number of the car and the number of the order for fixing it for the citizen will be indicated, or a certificate of registration and a coupon for the management of a private car.

For each new driver's license, a new ticket is issued, in which all the data on previously committed offenses are recorded.

Replacement of rights is an obligatory procedure, so do not postpone it for later.
