Where can I change my rights after expiration?

The driver's license, which is popularly known as the rights, has its validity period. At the end of it, you need to obtain a new document in order to avoid further fines or other problems with the law. You can exchange rights in the State Road Safety Inspectorate. However, when handling, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances. Which ones? This will be discussed in the article.

reference Information

A driver's license, also called simply "rights", is a document containing a number of information about the owner. Now this type of document meets the requirements of the Convention on Road Traffic. What does it mean? The national rights (certificate) that are issued to a person in his homeland are considered valid in all states that have accepted and signed this Convention.

And if the driver goes to a country that is not on this list (for example, to Egypt), and wants to drive there? Then he needs to get another document, acting on the territory of this country.

What is contained in the driver's license?

Without fail, this document contains the surname, patronymic and name of the citizen, date and place of birth of the driver. The date of issue of the certificate is also indicated. On the rights you can also see the expiry date, so as not to miss it and change the document on time.

In addition to the above, there must be a seal of the body that issued the certificate, the signature and the photograph of the owner of the document. The category of rights is also indicated. In some cases, for example, in the presence of several categories, the expiry date of rights indicates for each of them individually.

When do I need to change my driver's license?

Replacement of rights can be carried out for a number of reasons. These include the following options:

• Replacement of driver's license in connection with change of a surname, a name or a patronymic. It is more actual for women, because they often take the surname of the spouse when marrying him or return their old (with divorce). However, everyone has the right to change their data at will. Namely, a person can change only the last name, patronymic or name. In this regard, the rights should also be obtained with new data.
• Wear of identification. For example, if before the expiration of the rights are still far away, and the document itself is already significantly worn out and the data on it is difficult to read, then the certificate should be replaced.
• Theft or loss of rights. In the case where the document is missing from the owner for any reason, it must be obtained again.
• Expiration of the driver's license. So, after the end of the validity of the certificate, it is forbidden to go with him. Therefore, it must also be replaced with a new one.

Validity of driver's license

The national driver's license, that is, the document issued in the home country, has a rather long period of validity, namely ten years. Where can I change my rights after the due date? In the department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. That is, after ten years have passed, a citizen is obliged to apply to the appropriate department and obtain new rights.

As for international rights, their time is much shorter. To date, it is only three years. However, this is provided that national rights, if they are available to a citizen, do not end earlier.

It is also worth noting that citizens of other countries have the right to drive the transport countries on the territory of the Russian Federation on the basis of a national certificate. However, it also has its own peculiarities, so if the management of a car or other transport is connected with the conduct of entrepreneurial activity, then a person is obliged to obtain the rights of a given country. And regardless of whether the old rights were overdue or not.

And what about the prices?

Where it is possible to change the rights after the expiration of their validity, it is now clear. But what happens if you do not? Have to pay a fine. So, it can be from five to fifteen thousand rubles. Pay a fee and get new rights will be cheaper at times.

The cost of a fee depends on what kind of rights a citizen wants to receive. For a paper version it is necessary to give only five hundred rubles. However, a plastic, more practical and durable copy will cost two thousand rubles.

It is also worth repealing that until 2019 you can pay the fee through the portal of the State Services of Russia. A citizen will receive a discount when paying online, and the fee will be 1400 rubles.

And if there are fines? Will the rights be changed?

One of the most common questions, which concerns the replacement of rights after the expiration of the term in 2017, refers specifically to the payment of fines. Previously, without this, a citizen could refuse to issue a new driver's license. However, it was recognized that this was illegal. Since the fine should not infringe on other driver's rights.

However, paying for the existing fines does make sense. This is due to where you can change the rights at the end of the period. According to the general database of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate it will be easy to find the presence of unpaid receipts. In this regard, the driver can double the penalty due to non-payment. Therefore, the citizen loses in money, and tangible.

Where can I change my rights after they expire?

Replacement of rights after expiration of their validity, as well as for other reasons, is made in the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. And it is worth noting that the replacement occurs exactly at the place of circulation. This means that the actual exchange of rights after the expiry of the term can be carried out not only in another area, but also in another region. It is convenient for those who do not live in their native city.

This was made possible by the same uniform database of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, which stores all the information about the driver. However, the set of documents needed to replace the rights to new ones may differ.

The certificate is usually issued on the day of appeal. The employee accepts all documents, checks their authenticity. The driver is sent for photographing. Within half an hour you can already get your new driver's license. However, if an employee has any questions about their authenticity, the extradition of rights may be delayed by two months. That is, in the general case, changing the rights due to the expiration of the term is quite simple.

New replacement rules. What is the MFC?

Since April 2017, the driver can replace his identity not only in the traffic police, but also in the multifunctional center. This is convenient because it can save large queues, as well as the inability to make an appointment because of a large influx of visitors.

However, there are a number of disadvantages. First of all, this time. How can I change my rights after the expiration or for some other reason through the MFC? We need to submit all the documents, and then wait for the call to be received. That is, in the traffic police registration of new rights could take about half an hour. However, the center itself does not produce or issue an identity card. He only accepts the documents, sends them to the traffic police, and then issues it to the citizen. That is, this process can drag on for a week.

If any document has been questioned, then the return of the package of papers, as well as the notice of the refusal to issue new rights will also be brought to the driver with delay.

What documents are needed to replace the rights?

How can I change my rights after they expire? It is necessary to collect a package of documents and transfer it to the traffic police. The driver must produce:

• The passport of the citizen. Of course, this document must be in force.
• Old driver's license.
• Receipt for payment of state duty. You can pay two thousand rubles through the Public Services portal, which will help you to save money. But there will require a bank card. You can also pay for the service in any bank by bank details. It should be noted that almost all MFC and the traffic police departments are equipped with terminals for payment. But there is no surrender, and a commission may also be charged.
• Application in writing. It can be written on the model from the official site of the traffic police. You can also find the forms in the office.
• Medical certificate.

In addition to originals, it is recommended to take copies of the above documents. By the way, data on the payment of duty must be from the traffic police, so that they can not claim them. However, to avoid problems with failures in technology, it is better to take a receipt or a check for payment. In the case of electronic payment, you can also print a receipt.

Also, if the driver changes his rights not at the place of residence, you need to produce a document on temporary registration. Also, some employees can ask for a card from a driving school, that is, an examination card. However, it is often not included in the list of necessary documents, so you can safely refuse to provide it. Also it is not provided by those who did not pass training in driving schools.

Note. Do I need help?

A medical certificate is necessary to change the rights after the expiration of their validity. If the document is updated for other reasons, you do not need to provide it. It is also worth noting that, despite the abundance of medical centers offering certificates for obtaining a driving license, the narcologist and a psychiatrist from specialized clinics must finally assure her. Addresses can be found in the traffic police itself.

That is, after carrying out the necessary examination in a private clinic, you still need to contact another, to complete the procedure. On average, the certificate can cost a couple of thousand rubles, depending on the chosen clinic and region. Before going to a medical institution, it should be clarified which services it provides. So, if any of the tests have a citizen on hand, then they can be used. Also, you should take with you and matte photos three by four in the number of two pieces. This will also help save money.

Early replacement driver's license

From April 2017, drivers are allowed to replace the rights before the end of their term. But in this case it is necessary to bring a medical certificate, as well as after using the certificate for ten years.

It is worth noting that now you can start exchanging rights for new ones six months before the end of their operation, that is, to get everything in order, you can begin collecting documents six months before the last day of the validity of the driver's license.

It is also necessary to clarify that both to pass the theoretical part according to the rules of the road, and to pass the practice of driving around the city because of the replacement of rights will not have to.

The replacement of the driver's license after the expiration of their validity period is a fast process. You can get new rights in half an hour. However for this purpose it is necessary to collect all package of documents in advance.
