New rules for retaking your license after deprivation in 2021
The usual exam that a citizen must pass after deprivation of his driver's license has a difference. The differences are in the questions and time spent preparing for the test.
Conditions for conducting a traffic rules exam after deprivation of rights:
- 40 tickets;
- 20 questions in each ticket;
- 20 minutes to prepare;
- 2 errors – maximum, otherwise the exam will be considered failed;
- 5 questions for each error (all of them must be answered correctly, otherwise it will also be counted as a full-fledged error);
- The classification of tickets is determined by the highest category of the person’s driver’s license.
Important! When passing the exam due to deprivation of rights due to driving a vehicle, only passing the theory is necessary. Among the questions there is only a topic regarding traffic rules, and knowledge of first aid and fines is not asked. You do not need to take a driving test after your license has been revoked.
Based on the results of a successfully passed exam, the citizen will be given a certificate, which must be attached to the rest of the documents to restore the driver’s license. Each retake of the license after deprivation will be reflected in the final certificate.
To pass, you must contact any traffic police department and fill out an application in the prescribed form; a sample application can be found at the department. The time and date of the examination visit are set after the application received has been processed.
The procedure for submitting a driver's license to the traffic police after deprivation of rights - video:
For the convenience of examination and proceedings, a citizen has every right to make a request to transfer the case to his place of residence. For this purpose, a corresponding petition is drawn up. There is no deadline for submitting such a request.
When the case is transferred, the violator will be notified of the date of consideration of the case. But the petition may be rejected, which means the defense will have to be carried out in another city.
When a citizen is deprived of his driver's license, the region and city where the incident occurred does not matter. Taking the exam is allowed at any traffic police department.
Procedure for confiscating a driver's license
In accordance with changes in the legislative framework, traffic police inspectors do not have the right to confiscate a driver’s license (VL). Now, even in the event of a gross violation of the rules, the driver’s license remains with the driver until a court ruling is issued. Until the moment when it comes into force, the driver has full right to drive vehicles.
If the traffic police inspector insists on the need to undergo a medical examination, then it is better not to refuse it. But the driver is not required to sign the protocol if he disagrees with the wording of the charge or the breathalyzer readings. Moreover, he has every right to indicate in the protocol itself that he does not agree with it.
What happens if you write “I do not agree” in the traffic police report?
The entire procedure for removing a driver from driving a car is standard:
- The car is detained by a police inspector.
- The traffic police officer draws up a protocol in which he indicates the traffic rule that was violated.
- The compiled protocol is sent to the court at the place where the offense was committed or where the offender was registered.
- Based on the results of reviewing the protocol, the judge makes a decision on deprivation of the driver's license.
- The violator is obliged to voluntarily surrender the certificate.
If the driver does not agree with the decision made, he has the opportunity to appeal the decision within 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the decision itself.
The place of delivery of the driver's license will be indicated in the court order. The full procedure, deadlines and rules for passing the VU are defined in Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
How to get a license after deprivation in 2021
A driver can be admitted to the test only after passing a check using electronic databases. The citizen submits his data and documents, which are checked by the traffic inspector. The result of the application is the issuance of a permit with the place, date and time of the examination. Registration can be made through State Services.
The next step is preparation for the inspection. This step should take no more than 20 minutes. During the allotted time, the identity of the citizen is established. The testing itself is carried out on an automated workstation, which is a computer with programs.
They take the traffic police exam free of charge. In this case, even the reason for passing the exam will not influence. This rule will apply to all attempts.
The fee will be charged only in accordance with Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation when issuing a new certificate. The state fee will be 2,000 rubles for obtaining a plastic license.
The first thing you need to do in order to get your driver's license back after it has been revoked in 2021 is to pay traffic fines.
In addition, such conditions for the return of rights after deprivation, such as payment of all traffic police fines and passing an exam, are provided in the case of deprivation of rights under Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Article 9.3, which provides for punishment for violations of rules ensuring the safety of life and health of people, the safety of property, environmental protection or operating standards for tractors, self-propelled, road-building and other machines, trailers for them, equipment, and so on.
Solve your problem right now!
In the same cases of deprivation of rights (Chapter 12 + Article 9.3 of the Administrative Code), the theoretical part must be taken in any case. It is advisable to start preparing for the exam in advance, immediately after revocation of your driver’s license. Traffic rules change almost every year, but some drivers, even with experience, have never looked at the traffic rules since the test.
You can take a theoretical exam after deprivation of your license as soon as half the period for which the driver was deprived of your license has passed - this is prescribed by the Rules for returning a license after the loss of grounds for deprivation. If the exam was not passed, a retake is carried out after 7 days.
In reality, it looks like this: the driver comes to the traffic police department at his place of residence and reports that he has come to take an exam after being deprived of his license. The department employees will assign him a date and time for delivery.
It is necessary to undergo a medical examination if you have been deprived of your rights under the following articles:
12.8, part 1 - driving while intoxicated; 12.26, part 1 - refusal of medical examination; 12.27, part 3 - failure to comply with the ban on consuming alcohol or drugs after an accident.
To obtain a medical certificate, you will need to see some doctors, including a psychiatrist and a narcologist.
To take the exam, you need to have your passport and application with you. Sometimes a driver who has been deprived of his license may be asked to provide proof that half of the deprivation period has already passed.
If the exam is passed successfully, the results are entered into the traffic police database. If the exam is not passed, a new deadline is assigned.
The theoretical part of the traffic rules knowledge exam is taken on a computer and lasts 20 minutes, during which the driver must answer 20 questions with different answer options. The exam includes the following aspects:
- Traffic rules
- security
- providing first aid to victims
- legal framework
- safe management
If the driver gives 3 incorrect answers, the exam is considered failed . After it is carried out, the inspector draws up a protocol in which he records the test results, and the examinee puts his signature on the document.
Theoretical exam
You can return a certificate that a person has been deprived of only after passing the exam. According to the RF PP dated November 14, 2014 N 1191, you can start passing after half the period of deprivation (you can find out more about when you can take the traffic rules theory exam again here).
It occurs in several stages.
- First, you need to contact the traffic police authority where your license was passed and sign up for the exam.
This can be done in person or through the State Services portal. The exam itself takes the form of testing. The list includes issues related to traffic rules. Those deprived of their license are not tested for knowledge of the structure of the car and the rules of medical care. - Eighteen out of twenty questions must be answered correctly.
Then the exam will be passed. Twenty minutes are allotted for testing. The number of attempts to pass the exam after deprivation of the certificate is not limited. But retaking is permitted no earlier than 7 days from the date of failure. - Upon successful passing of the exam, the traffic police department is obliged to issue the citizen an examination card with the appropriate mark.

How to submit an application?
An application for testing must be made in writing.
It states the following:
- The name of the traffic police authority and the details of its head.
- Information about the applicant - name, where he lives.
- Grounds for appeal.
- The application itself to take the exam.
- Date and signature.
The application is submitted to the traffic police in person or through the State Services portal.
Retaking traffic rules after deprivation of rights in 2021
This is the most difficult (apart from the amount of fines) process when returning rights after deprivation. It is better to set aside one whole day for this (at least a few hours, most likely it will take you).
Deadlines
The legislation does not provide any direct restrictions on the time frame for obtaining a medical certificate. But the validity of the certificate is limited and is 1 year from the date of receipt. Therefore, it is not recommended to obtain a medical certificate in advance, especially since you still do not know when you will pass the exam. This one is also worth considering.
Rules
You can undergo a medical examination anywhere, not necessarily where you are registered. But there is one caveat: you need to go to doctors such as a psychologist and a narcologist at your registered address. The law does not oblige this, but in practice such a condition can be set by traffic police officers. You need to be prepared for this.
A medical certificate is given in form 003-VU.
This is what a medical certificate looks like to return your license if you are deprived of it for drunkenness
This question interests many drivers. And when they come to the traffic police to pick up their driver’s license, a surprise awaits them - there is still a lot of time before the expiration of the deprivation period!
A driver whose driver’s license has been confiscated for violating traffic rules needs to know 2 important points:
- the period of deprivation begins to count from the date of entry into force of the relevant resolution,
- but this period is interrupted if the driver does not surrender his license to the traffic police,
then, as soon as you pass your driver's license, the period will begin again.
Now let's consider questions related to the procedure for returning a driver's license in 2021!
Is it possible to return the rights early?
No.
The period of deprivation of license has come to an end, but the driver has not paid the fine and has not taken away the license - is it possible to drive and what is the fine?
Driving without a license is prohibited. The violation is provided for in Part 2 of Article 12.3 of the Administrative Code and is 500 rubles. During an inspection, a traffic police inspector may charge you under Part 1 of Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for driving without the right to drive with a fine of 5-15 thousand. The right to drive is confirmed by a license that the driver does not have. However, even without the possibility of confirming the right to control, it does not go away, since the period of deprivation has ended, and the condition for returning the document is a condition for returning the paper , not the right to control.
Does the fine expire if you don’t pay it, and do you need to pay it to get your license back?
Yes, the fine may be lost. By law, the statute of limitations is 2 years. But, the condition for the return of rights in the event of their deprivation is payment of all traffic police fines, regardless of their statute of limitations.
Will my driver's license be returned on the day of application?
Yes, the certificate is returned immediately if all of the above return conditions are met.
Do I need to go to another city to get my license if it is located there?
No. You can write an application to forward the certificate to a specific traffic police department. But shipping will take about 30 days (excluding postal times). But you will need to take the exam at the place where they are stored.
When do you need to bring a medical certificate?
A medical certificate is subject to the condition of return. It is not needed to pass the exam. But traffic police officers accepting applications for retake ask to provide a certificate.
Do you need a certificate from a driving school?
No. A certificate of completion of a driving school is not required.
Do I need to pay all the fines to be allowed to retake the test?
No. As well as obtaining a medical certificate.
The law does not reflect a limit on the number of attempts. However, if a person fails to pass the test the first time, retaking the license after deprivation is possible only after 7 days. When the second attempt fails, the next test is repeated a week later. If the exam is not passed the third time, you will retake it only after a month. There is no charge for the first or subsequent tests.
What happens if you fail the exam?
As in the case of obtaining a license for the first time, drivers have an unlimited number of attempts to retake the test. However, there are still some restrictions. The first, second and third attempts take place at intervals of one week. If the driver fails to pass the third time, then all subsequent attempts are made at intervals of at least one month.
Traffic rules exam after deprivation - retake in questions and answers
Officially, no marks are placed on the license after deprivation. However, traffic police officers can apply subtle markings, thus transmitting information to each other. Marks are placed in the form of dots in certain places in the document. The information characterizes the driver. This allows you to understand in advance what can be expected from the motorist. Marking is done with a needle or pen.
If a person did not manage to pick up the document in a timely manner, there is no need to panic. The certificate is kept in the traffic police department for another 3 years. When the period ends, the rights will be destroyed. The citizen will need to obtain a new document. If the deprivation is for drunk driving, a medical certificate is required. At the time of receiving the certificate in hand, the medical certificate must be valid.
In accordance with clause 2 of the Rules for the return of a driver's license, a test of knowledge of traffic rules is carried out at the department of the State Traffic Inspectorate at the place of execution of the court decision in the case of an administrative offense. In this case, you need to write a standard application addressed to the head of the department in order to pass the exam. In this case, the return of rights can be made both in this traffic police department and in another (clause 6 of the Rules). In the second case, no later than 30 days before the expiration of the driver’s license, you must submit an application to the State Traffic Inspectorate unit at the place where the court order is executed, indicating the department where the driver’s license should be sent. The application can be submitted on paper or in the form of an electronic document.

Where and when to retake the theoretical exam after deprivation of rights?
A medical certificate is required for persons who have been deprived of their rights for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (under Articles 12.26-12.28 of the Administrative Code). Drivers punished for other administrative offenses do not have to undergo a medical examination to reinstate their license.
If the deprivation of rights was accompanied by a violation under an article of the Criminal Code, a medical examination must be completed.
The general rule regarding the validity of a certificate of a medical examination completed within 2 years from the date of issue is canceled in this case. The driver must pass the commission no later than a month before the exam. The medical commission conducts a standard set of studies, but special attention is paid to information from the PND and the drug treatment clinic. Drivers punished for drunkenness will have a serious conversation with doctors.
According to the general rules, you can retake the theoretical part an unlimited number of times - until you get a positive result. At least 7 days must pass between examination attempts - the law allocates this period for the driver to work out gaps in knowledge. According to statistics, the majority of drivers deprived of their licenses confirm their good knowledge of the theoretical rules after 1-2 attempts.
Passing and retaking the exam are free of charge. If successful, you will need to pay a state fee to issue a driver's license. Its size is fixed in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and is 2,000 rubles. The photo for the ID is taken on the spot, at the MREO-STSI department - there is no separate fee for it.
Early return of rights after a traffic violation is not possible by law. However, you can take the exam after half the sentence has expired.
The starting point of the punishment is calculated as follows:
- if after the verdict the driver surrenders the license within 3 days, the date of withdrawal of the license is considered to be the 11th day after the decision was made;
- If the driver delays the transfer of documents, the punishment will be served from the moment of actual transfer. The measure is aimed at increasing the responsibility of drivers: the sooner agreement with the punishment is confirmed, the sooner it will be served;
- if the driver’s license has been lost and it is impossible to return it, the penalty period begins upon registration of the statement of loss.
If the early re-examination is successful, the license will be issued only after the entire sanction period has expired. An exception is possible if there is a court order to cancel the punishment.
To obtain rights, a certificate in form No. 003-в/у is also required, however, to restore rights it is needed only in cases where the rights were withdrawn for the following violations:
- drunk driving;
- refusal of medical examination.
You can read about deprivation of rights for refusing a medical examination and how to avoid this punishment in the separate article on our portal - “How to avoid deprivation of rights for refusing a medical examination.”
This certificate will be valid for exactly 1 year from the date of issue, so it can be issued in advance. To do this, you will need to undergo tests from a psychiatrist and narcologist (required at the place of registration), as well as a therapist and ophthalmologist at any licensed medical organization.
You can try to pass the exam much earlier than the end of the period of deprivation: namely, after half the term has expired. To set this date, you need to know the duration of the deprivation and the day the certificate was submitted to the traffic police department.
However, passing the exam will not allow you to get your license back before the due date. At the moment, the legislation does not provide for any method of issuing rights after deprivation before the deadline set by the judge.
To pass the exam and return your license, the driver must:
- pay off all traffic police fines in advance (mandatory);
- obtain certificate No. 003-в/у (if the deprivation occurred under articles for drunk driving or refusal of examination);
- apply for a theoretical exam, provide a passport and, preferably, a court order.
If a driver has lost his license under any of the articles of Chapter 12 of the Administrative Code, in order to get his license back he will have to re-pass the theoretical exam at the MREO State Traffic Inspectorate. To receive the document immediately upon completion of the sentence, you need to pass the theory in advance. This can be done after half the term of the sentence has expired. The exam is taken at the MREO of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate in the same manner and under the same conditions and rules that apply when obtaining a license for the first time.
What do you need to retake?
To pass the exam and return your license, the driver must:
- pay off all traffic police fines in advance (mandatory);
- obtain certificate No. 003-в/у (if the deprivation occurred under articles for drunk driving or refusal of examination);
- apply for a theoretical exam, provide a passport and, preferably, a court order.
Step-by-step instructions for returning rights
From a bureaucratic point of view, returning a driver's license is not the most difficult task.
Its implementation can be summarized in just 2 steps:
- The first step is to contact the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, where the certificate was issued by court decision. After standing in the electronic queue, the driver will have to fill out an application on the issued form. Next, the employee will notify you of the date of the exam (you can also sign up for it through State Services).
- The second time you will have to go to the traffic police MREO. There will be an exam, for which you only need to bring your passport.

- Calculate OSAGO
- Calculate CASCO
- Calculate car loan
- Calculate fuel consumption
- Car customs clearance calculator
In order to return your license after deprivation, you must contact the traffic police department to which you submitted the document.
You can pick up your driver's license only after the full expiration of the sentence.
Currently, the early return of a document is not legally provided for, except in cases where the decision of the district court has been appealed and overturned in the Supreme Court.
If, after the expiration of the deprivation period, you want to return your document to another traffic police department, you should take care of this in advance. 30 days before the end of the punishment period, you must send to the inspection where the driving license was handed over, a statement about the need to send it to another place. In this case, you must indicate the forwarding address. The application can be submitted to the traffic police in person or sent by mail.
And now a few words about when you can retake your license after deprivation. The traffic rules exam can be taken before the full expiration of the period of deprivation of rights. However, regardless of the reason for the punishment, you will be able to confirm your knowledge only after completing half the term of deprivation. Even if the tests are successfully passed, the document will be returned only after the penalty period has expired.
Citizens deprived of the right to drive a vehicle, unlike beginners, pass only a theoretical exam on knowledge of traffic rules. There is no need to confirm your driving skills on the race track or while driving on city streets. The exam is not just for show, so you need to prepare for it seriously. Even an experienced driver can forget some things that he doesn’t encounter all the time.
Retesting traffic rules for driving license after deprivation
Before visiting the traffic police, you will probably have a question about how much it costs to retest your license after being revoked. Currently, this procedure is free. However, if you do not return your driver's license within 3 years, it will be destroyed. Consequently, the document will subsequently have to be restored, and a state duty is already provided for this procedure.
The traffic police usually conducts exams on certain days every week. Therefore, you need to visit the department of the department where you handed over your license, check the time and date of their holding, and then sign up for a convenient day. In this case, remote registration for the exam via the Internet is not provided.
Exam procedure
The traffic police conducts the theoretical exam in 2021 on a computer in the form of testing using a special program that displays various questions and 4 answer options in random order. In total you need to answer 20 questions.
Only two mistakes are allowed. All questions must be answered within 20 minutes.
If you do not meet the allotted time, the exam is considered failed.
There is no limit on the number of attempts. But in case of failure, you can repeat the test no earlier than after 7 days. The same period applies in case of failure of the second attempt.
And if the driver was unable to complete the task correctly the third time, he will be able to retake it only after a month. And this period applies to all subsequent retakes.
You are allowed to take the exam at the traffic police department where you took your license after being revoked in accordance with clause 2 of the Rules for the return of your driving license. The addresses of registration and examination departments can be found on the official website of the Traffic Inspectorate. Please note the opening hours, as well as the fact that on some days only citizens who have previously registered through the Internet portal of Public Services can be accepted.
By the way, you can also get a certificate at the end of the period of deprivation at any branch. But to do this, you need to submit a written application a month before issuance to the traffic police department where the “crusts” are stored.
Deadline for delivery of rights
According to current legislation, the driver must surrender his license within 3 working days after the relevant court decision is made.
Considering that the offender has another 10 days to appeal the decision, the total period during which the driver can use the license is 13 days.
If the deadline for surrender of rights has arrived, but the violator has not surrendered them, then the deadline for surrender is not calculated. Some drivers believe that they don’t have to surrender their license, since the decision to confiscate it has been issued and the time limit has begun. Actually this is not true. The delivery of the driver's license must be registered in the traffic police database and it is from this moment that the period during which the driver has no right to drive a car will begin to count.
Caught drunk driving. I didn’t go to court, I didn’t pick up letters from the mail, I didn’t surrender my license.
Where and how to get a driver's license after deprivation?
At the appointed time, you must go to the registration and examination department (MREO) of the traffic police with the originals of your passport. The traffic inspector will accept the documents and indicate where the test is being carried out. If it is successfully completed, the results are entered into the Traffic Inspectorate database.
If you fail, you will have to find out the date of a new attempt, which can only be set in a week or later.
The traffic inspector must accept and check the documents, as well as the information specified in them, including in electronic databases. This takes no more than 15 minutes. If no inconsistencies are found, a decision is made to allow the driver to take the test. Those wishing to take the exams are informed of the place and time of the tests.
Preparation for the exam takes no more than 20 minutes. At this time, the examiner instructs the person wishing to take the exam and also establishes his identity. The theoretical exam is a test on a computer with special software. All equipment together is called an automated workplace - automated workstation.
Before the exam begins, information about the person wishing to take the exam, as well as the number of the set of tickets, is displayed. All equipment must be in good working order; if incorrect operation is detected, the examinee is provided with another workstation. If a malfunction is detected during the test, the test result is not counted and the procedure begins again.
The exam lasts 20 minutes. The test includes 20 tasks, which are divided into 4 blocks, containing one for each of 5 topics. For each question, 2-5 answer options are offered.
Each ticket consists of questions on the following five topics:
- rules
. - Ensuring road safety through the actions of Traffic Inspectorate employees and the proper condition of vehicles.
- Legislation of the Russian Federation regarding road traffic.
- Fundamentals of safe vehicle control .
- Providing first aid to victims of road accidents.
In one thematic block, you can make only 1 mistake, and the total number of incorrect answers for the test should not be more than two. For each mistake, another block of 5 questions will be added, and with them 5 minutes to solve them. The third mistake is failing the exam. The questions may not be answered in order.
At the end of the exam, information about its results is displayed on the monitor. Based on this information, an examination protocol is formed and an examination sheet is filled out, which is shown to the driver for review and signature. On the screen you can also see comments about the correct choice of answer.
- Retaking the theory exam is required for all drivers who have been deprived of their driver's license as a punishment.
- You can take the test in advance - at the end of half the term of deprivation.
- Exams will be accepted at any examination department of the traffic police, subject to the petition or statement of the deprived person in this regard.
- Any verification is free
The procedure for returning rights after deprivation for drunkenness
Re-examination after deprivation of a driver's license takes place at the territorial traffic police office. The nuances of passing the theoretical test are as follows:
- persons who have confirmed that they have served half the term of an administrative sanction are allowed to surrender;
- participation is free and is not subject to state duty even if you take the test again;
- If the test is unsuccessful, a repeat exam is available only after seven days.
Note!
The theory is retaken by answering questions from the proposed tickets. In 20 minutes of text, you must answer 20 questions; a motorist can make no more than two mistakes.
Theoretical tasks for the exam are formed according to the categories of rights AB and CD. When retaking related categories, tickets are offered at higher rates (for example, when passing a test in BC categories, the car owner will be given CD tickets). You should also take into account that only questions directly related to driving are used for the exam.
The law does not provide for a fee for passing the examination test; all categories of car owners are exempt from it.
To pass the test, the driver must contact the territorial traffic police department. He must provide the following set of documents:
- application requesting to take a theoretical exam;
- general passport;
- a certified copy of the court decision - based on the mark of the judicial authority, it is possible to establish that half of the administrative punishment has been served;
- certificate of delivery of a driver’s license - he must confirm the date of voluntary surrender or forced withdrawal of the form, as it will affect the determination of the retake period;
- a valid certificate from a medical institution confirming the absence of contraindications for driving.
Note!
All documents are submitted simultaneously with the application, after which the car owner can take the test.
Even if the exam is passed successfully the first time, you can return the driver’s license form only after the end of the administrative penalty. Early release from the assigned sanction is not allowed, so the car owner will have to wait until the end of the period of deprivation of rights.
The only option that will allow you to obtain a permit ahead of schedule is to cancel the administrative court order.
After the judicial act comes into force, the violator has the right to defend his interests in higher authorities. Filing a complaint does not entail suspension of execution of the sentence.
Exactly as much as it takes to pass the exam. There are no restrictions on the number of attempts. However, there is a limit on the minimum time interval between them. If it doesn’t work out the first time, the second one will be available only in a week. But after the third unsuccessful attempt, the next opportunity will appear no earlier than in a month.
Using simple calculations, it turns out that in the first year you can take the exam no more than 14 times. Therefore, the maximum number of attempts in three years is 38. If it is not possible to get the certificate back within three years, it is destroyed. Then you will need to restore it and pay state duty for it.
The first thing you need to do is go to the nearest traffic police department and fill out an application form for obtaining a driving license. After reviewing the application, a date and time for writing the theoretical exam are set.
