What documents are needed to replace rights in the MFC

The process of replacing a driver's license can already be greatly simplified today. To do this, any car enthusiast just needs to contact the nearby Multifunctional Center, having previously prepared a package of necessary documentation. Let's consider the main questions that arise before the drivers.

In what cases it is required to replace the VU

Most often, the driver's license has to be replaced due to its expiration. Let us remind you that it is ten years old.

Other reasons include:

• adding a driver's category;
• change of the owner's personal passport data (name, surname, patronymic). Does not affect the expiration date of the newly received certificate.
• Damage or loss of the document;
• identification of typos, inaccuracies and any errors in the text of an already issued VU or its issuance in violation of the established procedure;
• naturalization of foreign citizens holding a driver's license;
• the presence of restrictions on driving a car based on health conditions.

Documents required to replace rights in the MFC

When contacting the Multifunctional Center, the driver should prepare a list of documents, pay the state fee for the provision of services, and in some cases undergo a medical examination and present confirmation.

The list includes:

• a driver's license to be reissued (if any);
• application for the issuance of a VU. Can be obtained and filled on the spot upon request;
• identification. Most often it is a passport.
• Photo in 3,5 × 4,5 cm format (black and white or in color);
• check on payment of state duty;
• medical certificate according to the sample No. 003-В / у. When replacing the VU due to the termination of its validity or identification of restrictions on the management of vehicles related to the state of health of the driver.

Medical certificate to replace driving license

To obtain a medical certificate in the form No. 003-B / y, a motorist must contact the nearest clinic at the place of registration, which provides a similar service. It is important to note that examination by a psychiatrist and narcologist should be carried out only in budgetary medical institutions. You only need to have a passport and a military ID (or certificate of registration) on hand. Motorists of categories A and B will need to undergo examination by a therapist, ophthalmologist, psychiatrist and narcologist, and drivers of trucks, buses, trolley buses and trams (categories C, D, Tb, Tm) will also need to visit an otolaryngologist.

In addition, specialists can send the examined person for additional types of diagnostics. For example, a therapist goes to a neurologist; neurologist - on EEG; narcologist - to take urine and blood tests.

Term of replacement VU

Having prepared the above package of documents, the motorist personally goes to the nearby branch of the MFC. Already at the place, having received the appropriate coupon and waiting in line, he transfers the collected documentation to an employee of the institution. If everything is in order, a new driver's license will be available as soon as possible. On average, the procedure takes no more than a week.

During this time, it is recommended to refrain from driving in order to avoid problems with the law. But if the driver changes the VU due to the expiration of its validity period, we advise you to contact the MFC for its replacement in advance, since until the time of making a new license it is allowed to use the not expired one.

The cost of replacing rights

We will try to calculate the approximate cost of the procedure, taking into account all possible costs. Firstly, the state duty for the provision of the service is two thousand rubles for a national driver's license and one thousand six hundred for an international one. In addition, there is a charge for obtaining a medical certificate according to the sample No. 003-B / y. The price depends on the price list of the clinic where the driver will be examined. On average, it is about one and a half thousand rubles.

Thus, the minimum cost of replacing a VU is 2000 rubles. (state duty), but drivers who undergo this procedure due to the termination of their rights or health restrictions should focus on 3500-4000 rubles.

Penalty for invalid VU

The first paragraph of the federal law "On road safety" states that an expired vehicle does not give the right to drive a car. Therefore, driving with him can be regarded as driving without a certificate at all. This means that it will be punished in accordance with Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, according to which an administrative penalty is established in the amount of 5 to 15 thousand rubles... It will be much more profitable to spend some of this money to replace the rights in the MFC.
