Replacement of rights after expiration of their validity period

The driver's license is valid for 10 years fromtime of its receipt. Replacement of rights after the expiry of the term is a mandatory process. The exchange is made in the traffic police department (in the registration and examination department) at the place of registration.

Can I exchange rights in advance?

This question often arises in drivers. Of course you can. This approach is even more preferable. In principle, the replacement of rights in the GAI is possible throughout their term of validity (10 years), but it is too early to do so. However, for what time before they are overdue, you will be a substitute - it's up to you. For some, it's a year, but for others it's only a week.

What documents are needed in the traffic police?

Replacement of rights is a troublesome business, so before you go to change them, you need to check whether all the documents are on your hands:

• Original overdue driver's licensecertificate or its duplicate (if it was previously lost). Externally, the duplicate is no different from the original except for the column "special notes". There it is written: "duplicate". In addition, there should be a series and number of the certificate issued initially.
• Medical certificate according to the established model (it is received in the city or private clinics).
• Passport (for military men you can have a military ticket).
• Receipt for payment of state duty (for making rights on a plastic card 800 rubles). It can be paid in any branch of the commercial bank or the Security Council.
• Statement "Replacement of rights after the expiry of the term" (sample will be provided to you in the traffic police).

In case you have any more documents,concerning your rights to manage the vehicle, grab them too. It can be a driver's card from a driving school or a certificate from there. Replacement of rights after the expiration of the period is possible only if you do not have unpaid fines. If any, they must be paid in advance. Exam while replacing the driver's license is not necessary.

Algorithm of actions when replacing expired rights

So, you have prepared all the necessary documents. Now it is necessary to remove photocopies from the documents proving the identity (passport or military certificate), and a copy from the medical certificate - they will remain in storage in the traffic police department. A

also there will be overdue rights. They will not be given to you for memory. Find out beforehand by phone the reception hours of the registration and examination department. Going to the traffic police, keep in mind that you will have to be photographed there, so get ready, dress appropriately. In addition, if you have poor eyesight and you wear glasses, do not forget to take them with you. In the photo you will be wearing glasses. And on your driver's license from the back side will put a mark that you must control the vehicle only with glasses. In the office, provide the entire prepared set of documents. You will be asked to take a photo, then again you will have to wait for some time in the corridor, until all the information about you is entered into the computer and will prepare new rights. Then they will invite you again, in order for you to sign in a new document, after that they will laminate it and hand it over. The "special notes" field will indicate the series and number of old rights. Replacement of rights after the expiry of the term is fulfilled, they can not be worried for 10 years now. Do not forget to change the expired rights in time, otherwise you will be fined for driving the vehicle without any rights.
