How to change the rights

Life does not stand still: we change the surname, open a new driver's category, lose documents, or they come into disrepair. In all cases, you need to change the rights. This procedure is the same in all regions of the country. You just need to have a registration at your place of residence or stay.

• A document where you can see the registration (or temporary registration);
• Photo;
• A document on driving instruction or an unusable driving license;
• Receipt (payment of manufacturing and issuance of new rights).

A certificate that you have passed the driving course is optional. If you handed out the external or lost this document, submit a bold packet without it. The photo is necessary for paper certificates, if you want to change the rights to plastic, then you will make a photo in the GIBDD unit.

The package of documents must be attributed to the traffic police at the reception hours. They will say when to come for new rights.

The driver's license, received before January 1992 in the Union republic of the USSR, is changed to Russian without passing examinations. Similarly, you can change the rights issued in the CIS republics. A citizen of the Russian Federation who received a driver's license in another country must pass an examination on the theory of driving and submit the necessary documents.

The driver can be given a temporary form that will be valid for two months if his papers require verification, or it takes time to collect references and information from other states.

Old rights are withdrawn and canceled, except for international driving licenses.
