Obtaining rights after deprivation through State Services: step-by-step instructions with screenshots

How to get a license after deprivation in 2021

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.

Deprivation of rights: how to return your license in 2021? Rules

So, the procedure for returning a driver’s license is regulated by the Code of Administrative Offenses and its section 32. The necessary conditions are as follows:

To return your license after deprivation, you must pass an exam on knowledge of traffic rules theory,
pay all available traffic police fines, including fines for deprivation,
undergo a medical examination and receive a valid medical certificate, but only for those who have been deprived of their rights for alcohol intoxication or refusal of a medical examination - for those deprived of their rights under Articles 12.8, Part 1, 12.26, Part 1, 12.27, Part 3 of the Administrative Code.

All these conditions for the return of a military license are specified in Part 4.1 of Article 32.6 of the Administrative Code. Below we will discuss in detail how to perform each of these procedures, what is required for this, as well as how and where you can do it all.

How to get your license back after being disqualified for drunk driving

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 list of required documents is as follows:

statement;
passport;
confirmation of successful completion of the theoretical exam;
receipts for payment of fines (in case of difficulties in obtaining data from automated information systems);
a certificate of acceptance of a driver’s license for storage at the traffic police department or a court order with a corresponding note;
medical certificate in form 003 v/u.

It is permissible to apply for the return of a driver’s license in the following cases:

A complete package of documents has been collected (depending on the article of the Code of Administrative Offenses, according to which the driver is deprived of his license).
All traffic fines have been paid (there should be no active debt in the database, including those with an expired statute of limitations).
The sentence set by the court has expired. The period is calculated from the date of entry into force of the court decision on deprivation. If within 3 days the driver’s license is not submitted to the traffic police or a statement of loss is not written, the countdown is suspended. And it resumes after the specified actions are completed.
Successfully passed a theoretical exam on knowledge of traffic rules.

Passing a theoretical exam on traffic rules is allowed only at the place of deprivation. It is impossible to sign up for the exam through the State Services portal. On the service you can only submit an application for the return of rights after deprivation. To sign up for the exam, you need to visit the traffic police department where your license is stored with your passport and pick up a coupon at a special terminal. After filling out the application form, the employee will accept it and inform you of the date and time of the retake. You are not required to present receipts for payment of fines or a medical certificate. If an employee of the State Traffic Inspectorate demands these documents, then this is illegal.

The retake process is no different from the test that drivers take when obtaining a driver's license for the first time. Surrender is permitted after half the period of deprivation has expired. The number of retakes is not limited. After the first failure, a second attempt is allowed after 7 days, after the second - after 2 weeks, after the third - after a month.

Questions are asked exclusively within open categories. 2 errors are allowed. For each question there are 5 additional questions, you can no longer make mistakes. Based on the test results, an examination card is issued.

Retaking the theoretical exam and returning a seized driver's license is not subject to state duty. But if during the deprivation the license has expired, you will have to get new ones with payment of the state fee for issuance (2000 or 3000 depending on the selected sample). When paying through State Services until the end of 2020, there is a 30% discount.

List of documents for restoration of rights after deprivation of rights for drunkenness

To get your driver’s license back after being revoked for drunkenness, you will need to provide the following list of documents to the traffic police department.

identification card (both a passport and a document replacing it in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation);
a copy of the court order on deprivation of a driver's license;
a certificate confirming that the driver's license was tested after being disqualified for drunkenness;
medical certificate allowing the driver to drive a car.

New rules for retaking your license after deprivation in 2021

You can obtain a seized driver's license at the traffic police department at the place of deprivation. Confiscated driver's licenses are stored for 3 years and then destroyed. When surrendering the rights, a notice of acceptance for storage is issued or a note is made on the court order with the seal and signature of an authorized officer. An application for a refund can be submitted in person or through State Services.

If the driver has been deprived of his license in another subject or city of the Russian Federation and the document is stored in the local unit of the State Traffic Inspectorate, then one month before the expiration of the sentence, it is allowed to submit a petition for the transfer of the license to the traffic police department at the place of permanent residence. A sample can be found on the Internet. Shipping according to the regulations will take at least a month (excluding postal times).

In 2021, a law came into force that complicated the process of returning a document after depriving a citizen of the right to drive a vehicle in 2021. New rights have been introduced in accordance with the enacted law of the RF Government No. 1210 of October 10, 2018.

Previously, issues of returning rights after their deprivation were regulated in accordance with the RF Government Regulation No. 1191 of November 14, 2014. According to this legislative act, a citizen was required to pass the theoretical part of the exam at the traffic police. When deprivation of rights for being in a state of alcohol or drug intoxication, the need to undergo a specialist examination and submit a corresponding certificate to the traffic police was added.

Interesting! RF PP No. 1191 did not establish the need to pay all the fines that were assigned to the violator. Because of this “loophole,” many citizens, upon expiration of the term, received new rights without paying existing fines.

And in accordance with the new RF PP No. 1210, a person is obliged not only to pass the necessary exam at the traffic police and submit a certificate from a medical institution, but also to pay all fines. Otherwise, the driver's license will not be returned.

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.

When can you take a traffic test?

You can take the exam after completing half the term, in any convenient department. MREOs that accept exams are listed on the traffic police website. You should familiarize yourself with the work schedule of the departments, since sometimes exams are taken from individuals by appointment via the Internet on the Public Services portal. The examination department will require the completion of a standard application in the prescribed form and the submission of documents. After which the citizen is assigned a day and time for verification.

When applying, you must pay off all existing debts, after which you will be granted permission to take the exam. If two attempts are unsuccessful, then the third and all subsequent attempts will be scheduled in a month. It is recommended to carefully prepare for the exam, since even with considerable practice, there are rarely used rules, a person forgets about them. The check is complex and includes questions on road safety. Many questions are not directly included in the traffic rules, so preparation for testing is mandatory.

To test your knowledge, you will only need an application and a passport; in some cases, they may require confirmation that half the term has already passed. This requirement is possible when the database is unavailable. If the test is passed successfully, the result is entered into the traffic police database; if a retake is necessary, the driver is given a new deadline. The exam is taken at an automated workstation, as in a regular theoretical exam. The test lasts 20 minutes, the driver answers 20 questions, each of which offers possible answers. Testing is carried out in the following areas:

traffic rules;
security;
legal framework;
safe management;
providing assistance to victims.

If a total of three mistakes were made, the driver is considered to have failed the test. At the end, the inspector draws up a protocol and enters the results of the person being inspected, and the driver signs.

It will take no more than 15 minutes to process the results and enter data into the database. The whole procedure takes no more than an hour. A document confirming successful completion of the exam is not issued; when returning rights after deprivation in 2021, information is drawn from the official traffic police database.

Where and how to get a driver's license after deprivation?

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not allow the return of rights to violators before the established date. The certificate can be obtained after the full term of the sentence determined by the court. Passing traffic rules after deprivation of rights for drunkenness is allowed by law after half of the sentence has expired. So, if you are deprived of your license for 4 months, you can pass the exam after 2 months.

After passing the exam, the citizen will have to undergo a medical examination. The procedure is provided for a fee. The cost of the inspection will be from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles. A citizen who has lost his rights can independently choose any medical institution to undergo the procedure.

Important! A medical examination will not be required if the certificate received the previous time has not expired.

In order to pass the commission, the driver does not need to take a referral. To sign up for an examination, just contact the reception desk, submit your details and pay for the service.

Passing a medical examination includes visiting several doctors:

narcologist (must issue a certificate of absence from registration lists);
psychiatrist (must issue a certificate of absence from registration lists);
ophthalmologist;
ENT;
neurologist;
surgeon.

The last doctor will be the therapist, who must draw up a completed certificate and sign it.

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 procedure for returning a driver's license has not changed and is carried out according to the rules in force over recent years. There have been no significant changes in this part of the legislation.

In accordance with paragraph 6 of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 14, 2014 N 1191 “ On approval of the Rules for the return of a driver’s license after the loss of grounds for termination of the right to drive vehicles,” the return of the driver’s license to the deprived person is carried out in the traffic police department at the place of execution of the court decision in the case of an administrative offense in day of application. The return of the driving license to the person can also be carried out in another department of the traffic police if no later than 30 days before the end of the period of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle is submitted to the traffic police department at the place of execution of the court order and an application indicating the name of the department to which the driving license must be sent. The application can be submitted in paper or electronic form.

Often, violators do not know where to pick up their license after the expiration of their deprivation, if the confiscation did not occur in their city. If an offense is committed, the case is initiated in that city, and the driver must surrender his license there. To return, you can use one of the schemes (clause 6 of the Rules):

personal visit to the traffic police office where they are stored;
contacting another traffic police department , after which the department’s employees submit a request to the department where these rights are stored .

As already noted, after deprivation of the license, it is transferred to the State Traffic Inspectorate necessarily with the preparation of a document on its acceptance, which is signed by the owner of the license and the traffic police officer who accepted it. The document is stored at the place of its delivery. Therefore, the answer to the question of where to pick up your license after the expiration of the deprivation period is at the traffic police department to which you handed it over.

Regardless of the severity of the offense, persons who have been punished enjoy equal rights. That is, there is no special process for returning a driver’s license for those who have been deprived of the right to drive a vehicle for alcohol or drugs.

The return of rights after deprivation of rights for drunkenness in 2021 is carried out on a general basis, with the exception of one nuance. A medical certificate of admission to drive transport must be added to the package of required documents.

In our country, in order to receive one document, you need to provide several others. Therefore, it is important to know what is required to return your driver's license. Before going to the territorial division of the State Road Safety Inspectorate, you should prepare the necessary papers. Let’s find out specifically what documents are needed after revocation of a driver’s license:

Application for the return of the temporary residence permit.
Civil passport or other identification document.
Court ruling on deprivation of rights. A copy of this document should be obtained from the court office.
Document confirming the delivery of the license to the traffic police department.
Medical certificate of admission to drive a vehicle, valid at the time of presentation. This document is not always mandatory.

If you need to restore your driver's license, you should know whether a certificate of passing a medical examination is required. The answer to this question is clear for those who are deprived of the right to drive a vehicle for drunk driving. It is impossible to restore your driver's license after being deprived of alcohol without providing a medical examination document.

In other cases, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of Russia No. AKPI13-228 dated April 11, 2013, a medical certificate is not required to return a driver’s license. However, we note that on the question of whether a medical certificate is needed for the traffic police when obtaining a license, traffic police officers often have their own opinion. You need to be prepared for the fact that they will refuse to return your driver’s license to you without providing this document.

This decision of the traffic police inspectors is illegal. You can request a written refusal and take it to court. After the court decision is made, you will be able to receive the document without a medical certificate. However, in this article we are looking at how to get a driver’s license back, and not how to prove to traffic police officers that they do not understand the law well.

In order to save time, it is easier to take an existing certificate with you or get a new one than to deal with legal proceedings. Moreover, the trial is a waste of effort and money. Therefore, when deciding how to quickly return your license, we advise you to proceed from the postulate that a medical certificate of fitness to drive a vehicle should be provided to the traffic police in any case, regardless of the violation you committed.

The procedure for obtaining rights after deprivation

The procedure for returning the driver's license upon expiration of the punishment period occurs in several stages. Initially, the driver must collect all the necessary papers and submit them to the relevant authorities. After this, he will be assigned a second exam at a driving school, based on the results of which the traffic police officers will make a verdict: to give the person his certificate or not.

If there are no problems with knowledge of traffic rules, then the driver will be able to receive his license after deprivation only a few days after paying the single state fee. At the same time, he will additionally be assigned a mandatory medical examination, where the doctor can decide to register the citizen with drug treatment (in the event of revocation of his license for driving while intoxicated). Such a note on the certificate will significantly complicate the procedure for returning the driver's license.

Where to contact

Rights should be taken away at the end of the period of deprivation at the traffic police department to which they were sent by court decision. To do this, the driver just needs to write a corresponding application and attach a package of prepared documents to it. But you need to go for your crust strictly after:

Repeated passing of the theoretical exam at a driving school (for pedestrians who have lost their driving license as a result of a serious violation, special tickets are issued that do not contain questions on medical, psychological and legal topics);
Passing a medical examination (the list of doctors remains the same as during the initial driving test).

In other cases, traffic police officers will have every right to refuse a citizen’s application.

At the same time, if a person has moved to another city or region, and he is physically unable to pick up his document at the established office, he can contact the local traffic police department with a written request to forward the document. On average, this process takes about one week. Depending on the distance between government agencies, this period may significantly increase or decrease.

Required documents

When the driver goes through all the necessary authorities (driving school and hospital), he only has one step left before his license is restored after deprivation: submit a package of documents for consideration by the traffic police. This list includes the following:

An application drawn up in accordance with a single form (in addition to the offender’s full name, it also indicates his passport details, including his place of registration);
Conclusion of a full medical examination (you can find out the list of doctors for examination at the reception desk);
A copy of the court decision, which indicates information about the timing and reason for deprivation of the driver's license;
Protocol on the voluntary transfer of a driver’s license to traffic police officers (drawn up at the scene of the violation);
Receipt of payment of the mandatory duty;
Checks evidencing coverage of fines (if the driver was deprived of his license as a result of evading the payment of alimony, a certificate of repayment of the mentioned debt is added to the listed list of documents);
A copy of the applicant's passport (only the front side with the photo and the registration page are required).

This list of documents is approved by the law of the Russian Federation, and government officials have no right to demand more from a citizen. Otherwise, a complaint can be filed against them.

Exam on traffic rules theory

Restoration of rights after deprivation occurs with a second retake of the theory. But such a test will differ significantly from the primary exam. And this will be expressed in the following factors:

No mandatory fees;
Method of registering the result (according to the rules, if a driver passes the test for the first time, he is given a special certificate. But in cases of retaking after deprivation of his license, the fact of re-passing the traffic rules theory is directly entered into the electronic MREO database);
Reduced period between passing exams (if a citizen fails the test, he will be able to try again after a week, and not after 14 days, as happens with the initial test).

In this case, the theory can be retaken after half the sentence has expired. Most drivers go through this procedure at the same time as submitting an application for reinstatement of their driving license.

Medical commission

Another mandatory document used to restore rights after deprivation is a medical certificate, which can be obtained at any clinic. To do this, just take your passport with you and ask for the appropriate direction at the reception. From the entire list of doctors, the driver will only need to go through:

Narcologist (it is especially important for drivers caught driving while intoxicated to have his signature);
Psychiatrist (required in cases where a motorist has lost his driving license as a result of driving under the influence of drugs, and is currently registered);
Ophthalmologist;
A therapist (by his decision, the offender may be sent for additional tests and examinations).

If the listed specialists do not find any deviations, the citizen will be issued a new medical certificate, which must be attached to the prepared package of documents.

Payment of fines

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the return of rights after deprivation should occur only if the violator pays all administrative fines imposed on him from the period of receiving the driver's license. But in fact, the inspector is obliged to return the driver’s license, even if there is no information about payment of fines in the database. True, for this, a person must provide the appropriate receipts, which can be obtained from a bank or printed at home (in the case of payment online, through the government services portal).

Details of the return of rights after their deprivation in 2021

The procedure for returning a driver’s license after deprivation involves personally contacting the State Road Safety Inspectorate and providing all the necessary papers. You should know that when you return, you will have to pass an exam - the same as when you first obtained your license.

The procedure for returning rights after the expiration of the period of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle involves testing knowledge of the theory. However, not everyone can pass the exam the first time. In addition, in order to get your license back, you must pay all current traffic police fines.

Not everyone knows where to take the exam after losing their license. You should contact the regional traffic police department - both for the initial issuance of licenses and for returning certificates.

Be sure to brush up on your traffic rules knowledge. Some rules may have changed, some have already been forgotten. If you fail to pass the theoretical exam the first time, you will be able to try again no earlier than after 7 days. The answer to the question of what is needed for a retake is obvious – knowledge.

It is allowed to take a theoretical exam after half the sentence has expired.

There is no legal way to get a driver's license before your sentence expires. By trying to use your connections in the traffic police to resolve this issue, you are breaking the law. If you convince a traffic police officer to assist you in issuing a certificate, you will turn into a criminal, and the inspector into an accomplice. The maximum penalty for this under the relevant article of the Criminal Code is 2 years in prison.

To regain your driving license, you will have to retake the theory test. You don’t have to wait until the entire period for which the rights were withdrawn expires; after deprivation, you can only wait for half the period.

Already at this stage, you can take a knowledge test, which is regarded as retaking the exam in advance. In addition, in 2021 it is allowed to pass the test if you fail 7 days after the first attempt.

You can take it several times before the exam is successful, but the interval before each subsequent attempt will be increased (RF Decree of October 24, 2014 No. 1097).

The first issue that needs to be resolved after the driver has been deprived of his driver’s license is the expiration of the ban on driving, namely a specific calendar date. To deal with this, you must adhere to the following algorithm:

carefully study the court ruling in which the court restricted a person’s rights to drive a car;
clarify the date of receipt of a copy of the court order (this date may be indicated on the postal envelope in which the order arrived, and if the order was received in court and the driver does not remember the date, then you can always call the court and clarify this issue);
it is necessary to add 10 days to the date of receipt of the court order and you will get a “starting point” for counting the period of deprivation of a driver’s license.

Important!

This algorithm for calculating the start date of the deprivation of rights is valid only if the court decision has not been appealed to a higher court.

If the driver has suffered an administrative penalty, the responsibility for which is established by Part 1 of Article 12.8 (driving a vehicle while intoxicated), in addition to testing knowledge of traffic rules and paying a fine, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination to determine the presence of medical contraindications to driving.

Deprivation of a driver's license in a situation where the driver left the scene of an accident is an administrative punishment, liability for which is provided for in Part 2 of Article 12.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Upon expiration of the period for deprivation of a special license, the driver has the right to receive the license back if he passes a test of theoretical knowledge of traffic rules and provides the documents required by law.

Retaking the traffic rules exam is free of charge.

In order to get your driver's license back, you should collect the documents listed below (they will be needed to apply to the traffic police for a license) and wait until the end of the sentence:

passport;

statement;
medical certificate (according to the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated April 11, 2013 No. AKPI13-228, the provision of a medical certificate is not mandatory, but it is required).
exam card;
a medical document stating that the driver can drive a vehicle for health reasons (if necessary, for certain types of administrative liability established by Part 1 of Article 12.8, Part 1 of Article 12.26, Part 3 of Article 12.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation);
court order.

In the event that the driver needs to return his license in another city, and, accordingly, in another traffic police department, no later than 30 days before the end of the period of deprivation of the right to drive a car, he should submit an application to the department at the place of execution of the court order, indicating the name of the traffic police department, in which you need to send your driver's license. The application is submitted in writing or in the form of an electronic document on the official website.

A detailed description of the procedure for obtaining rights after their deprivation

The classic return scheme looks like this (any sequence of actions is allowed):

filing an application with the traffic police (strictly at the place of deprivation);
passing a theoretical exam to test knowledge of traffic rules (everyone can pass it, regardless of the reason for deprivation);
payment of fines (even if the statute of limitations has expired);
obtaining rights.

Obtaining a license after being disqualified for drunkenness in 2021 is more difficult. Additionally, a medical certificate is required if the driver is punished under the following articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

driving a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol (12.8 part 1);
use of drugs or alcoholic beverages after an accident before the arrival of traffic police inspectors (12.27, part 3);
refusal to undergo a medical examination (12.26 part 1).

The certificate is valid for one year after receipt. A medical examination with a visit to a therapist, ophthalmologist, ENT specialist, psychiatrist, neurologist and narcologist is allowed to take place in any city, and not just at the place of registration.

How to get a driver's license

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.

To return your license, you will need to contact the traffic police department where the license was handed over. You can receive documents at another office of the organization if you write an application in advance. The action must be completed 30 days before the expiration of the deprivation period.

When contacting the traffic police, you must take your ID with you. You will need to write an application at the department. If your license was revoked for driving while intoxicated, you will additionally need a medical certificate. A traffic police representative will check the submitted papers and search the database for exam results. If no violations are found, the certificate will be returned.

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.

If a court decision has already been made not in favor of the violator, he has 3 days to surrender his license to the traffic police department at the place of registration or actual residence. Moreover, along with the driver’s license, there is an obligation to hand over a temporary permit to drive a vehicle - there’s definitely no way to cheat here. Quite often there is an attempt by the violator, having surrendered his license, to continue driving the vehicle until the expiration of the period of deprivation of rights, having a temporary permit.

The period of license deprivation will begin to count only from the moment the driver surrenders his license and temporary driving permit. Upon submission of the documents, he will be necessarily given a certificate of transfer to the traffic police department, and in court he will need to pick up a copy of the decision. And only after this the driver can begin counting the time during which he will not be able to drive the vehicle. And when calculating, one should add to the resulting number of days another 10 days, which were given to him for appeal. Having found out when the period ends, you can go to the traffic police department to obtain your rights. An auto lawyer in Yekaterinburg can give 1 valuable advice: you must remember that for the procedure for returning your rights you will need to provide the following documents:

— passport or other identification document;

— certificate of surrender of license from traffic police inspectors;

How is a driver's license revoked?

Previously, the driver's license was taken away by an inspector when drawing up a protocol on the violation. Now the driver himself submits the document after a court decision is made. The document remains in hand, and you can operate the equipment until the trial. After a court decision, the first check will lead to the seizure of the car in a parking lot and an impressive fine. The law makes an allowance: the readings of traffic cameras do not lead to deprivation of rights, only to fines.

The protocol is sent to the court, the defendant in the administrative case is notified of the date of the court hearing. The trial period is allotted 2 months, followed by 10 days for appeal. After the decision comes into force, the driver must submit his license to the department that compiled the protocol within 3 days. The return period begins from the date of delivery of the certificate.

If the document expires during the penalty period, an extension will be issued upon receipt in the standard way. In addition to the license, you will need to submit a temporary permit, if the driver has one. You cannot pass your driving license and continue driving with a temporary permit. If the temporary certificate is not submitted, the sentence will not begin to decrease.

The driver will be given a certificate indicating that the driver's license has been passed and when he should apply again. Before contacting the traffic police department, you should have a copy of the court order in hand.

All about retaking the traffic police exam after deprivation of your license

When returning your license, you must retake the driving theory test, or try to appeal this point in court. At the same time, going to court will not contribute to making a decision that suits the driver. So it is much better to spend the same time preparing for retaking the exam. Sometimes the driver is confident that he already remembers everything perfectly, but when he sits down in front of the computer he realizes that, for example, he has never even encountered such a situation. And with this one too. And with this one. As a result, the exam is failed, and a repeat exam can only be done after 7 days. Those. The driver will not have a driving license for another week.

It should be remembered that the question of how to get a license back after deprivation should not even arise before the driver if at least one of the fines received has not been paid. You can endlessly assure the department employees that now, if the license is given away, he will immediately go to the bank to pay the remaining fine. It is better to pay all fines in advance. The driver will be able to obtain his license only by closing these gaps in his personal file. The procedure for returning rights is determined by the decision of the Supreme Court. It consists of just a few points:

— submission of the required package of documents;

— passing an exam regarding knowledge of the theoretical basis;

— payment of imposed fines;

Any driver would like to get back the license that he was deprived of, because... he was used to being in his car every day. In this case, a very serious question arises: is it possible to return rights early after deprivation, and what should be done to achieve this.

Legal return of rights after the expiration of half the term or any other period less than that provided for by deprivation is impossible.

The only chance for early return of rights will be to give a bribe to the inspector. However, such a development of events is prosecuted in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. And the law, in this situation, will prosecute both the driver and the inspector, who not only agreed to take a bribe, but also gave the culprit a fake license. Especially if you are deprived of your license for drunkenness

Amendments to the legislation made back in 2015 must be observed this year. The procedure for restoring rights is not complicated and, even more so, dangerous for the driver. You just need to drive the vehicle carefully and carefully, in accordance with traffic regulations.

According to the law, the driver’s license can be returned if he has fulfilled a number of conditions.

These include:

compensation for damage caused to other road users;
repayment of fines (if any);
admission of guilt;
exemplary behavior (no other offenses).

The procedure for returning the driver's license can only begin after half the term has expired. If the deprivation of rights occurred for 12 months, then the return process can begin only after 6 months have passed.

ATTENTION !!! First of all, the driver needs to write an application to the traffic police department where the license is stored. This will not be difficult to do, since the form will be given to you by employees who will tell you how to fill it out.

To compile, you need to have the necessary documents with you:

the court's decision;
passport;
a receipt that is issued upon surrender of rights.

Sometimes you need to include a medical certificate in the list of documents. It may be required when accepting an application for early acquisition of rights.

If a person needs to travel to another city to obtain a certificate, he can also submit an application through the post office. To do this, you should additionally apply for the transfer of documents to the city where the offender is located and registered. You will have to wait at least 2 weeks for a response.

It should also be mentioned that the license should be withdrawn no later than after 3 years, otherwise it will be destroyed and the driver will need to restore it in accordance with the general procedure.

In order to receive a confiscated license ahead of schedule, the driver must re-pass the traffic rules test. It happens in the same way as the exam that took place in a driving school. The test is taken on a computer and includes two dozen questions. In this case, tickets are used that are specially designed for those who have been deprived of a driver’s license for overtaking or other violation.

ATTENTION !!! The questions in them relate only to traffic rules, and those related to medical care and the design of the vehicle are excluded from them. The test time is limited and is 20 minutes, during which you need to answer 20 questions without errors. It can be considered passed if according to its results there are only 2 errors.

A quarter of an hour passes from the moment the exam result is received and its results are entered into the database. At the same time, the driver himself is not given a document stating that the test was successfully passed.

ATTENTION !!! If you fail to pass the test, do not despair. You can go through it again in a week. There are no restrictions on the passage and it can be repeated several times.

Upon successful completion of the test, the driver is given a special card, with which he must go to the archive where the license is located. In this case, you need to have the above documents with you.

However, you should not hope that the license will be issued only after passing the exam. To receive them, the driver needs to pay all existing fines, and if there is even one debt, the certificate will remain with the traffic police.

It’s easy to find out whether there are unpaid fines; for this you can use the “State. If there are any, the car owner should pay them off, after which he can return to the archive to obtain a certificate. This simple procedure allows you to receive a certificate on the day of the exam.

Motorists whose licenses were confiscated for drunkenness in 2021 also have the opportunity to return it early. However, you need to remember that this can be done if the motorist appeals the deprivation of the document in court. In this case, it is impossible to obtain a license before the period of deprivation ends and the driver will need to wait until it ends. All other options for returning the driver’s license will be illegal.

A driver whose license has been taken away must remember that only a court can revoke it. Therefore, it is better to attend the meeting in person to try to challenge the decision. If the driver does not appear and he does not have valid reasons, then the judge has the right to consider the case without him and make any decision.

IMPORTANT !!! The car owner will have a much better chance of not losing his license if he attends the meeting. At the same time, it is worth preparing for it. The best option would be to contact a lawyer, but if you have knowledge of the law, the driver can protect himself.

Deprivation can only occur if a medical examination is completed and its conclusion is presented to the court. If it was not, then the court has the right to leave the driver’s license, since there will be no evidence of his being drunk, and the accusation will be based only on the words of the inspector.

There is still a chance that the rights will be retained by the owner under the following circumstances:

two witnesses were absent during the search or their signatures are not in the arrest report;
an uncertified device was used to determine intoxication;
The values obtained after passing the breathalyzer do not correspond to the information recorded in the protocol.

If these errors exist, then the driver or his lawyer will not have any particular problems refute the evidence presented by the traffic police officers. After this, the documents will be left with the driver or they will be taken away, but not for a long time. If the driver is not satisfied with the decision made by the court in some way, he can challenge it after 11 days.

As a result, it can be understood that in order to return the driver’s license, simple steps must be taken, which consist of submitting an application to the traffic police and passing the exam a second time. We should not forget about preparing the necessary papers and paying any fines.

Obtaining a doctor’s certificate when returning a driver’s license after deprivation is the longest process and will require some expenses. But if you wish, you can complete it in a day. It should be remembered that its validity period is one year, and if it has passed, then upon return you will need to again go through specialized specialists, including a narcologist and a psychiatrist.

ATTENTION !!! You can undergo a medical examination at any medical institution, even not at your place of registration.

The main thing is that there is temporary registration. After passing the specialists, the driver is given a certificate of form 003-VU. As part of the medical examination you will need to undergo:

psychiatrist, psychiatrist-narcologist;
neurologist;
Laura;
ophthalmologist.

If it is necessary by referral, one of the doctors prescribed by you will need to do an electroencephalography.

What do you need to get your driver's license back?

Return of a driver's license after deprivation is possible only when the period of this deprivation has expired or the application for parole filed by the offender has been granted. In the first case, the driver needs to wait until the expiration of the license deprivation period. This period can be calculated by adding to the date the decision entered into legal force (indicated in the final part of the decision) the period for which the restriction of rights was introduced. In order to regain your driver’s license, which was handed over to the traffic police department by court decision, you must complete the following steps:

Make an application and collect the documents required by law for the return of the certificate and send them to the traffic police department where the license was surrendered. You can submit documents either in person or electronically through the State Services portal or at the MFC office.
Pass a medical examination that will confirm that there are no contraindications to driving.
Pay all fines that are available from the traffic police.
Pass the theoretical exam at the traffic police. Practical driving skills will not be tested.
Get your license from the traffic police department.

Often drivers who are deprived of the right to drive a car wonder where to go with the collected documents. This question is especially acute when the driver’s license was handed over to the traffic police department of another city or even region. The legislator clearly defines the actions in such situations - the surrendered certificate should be kept in the same place where the offense was committed, therefore you need to contact the same department. However, in the application for the return of a driver’s license, you can indicate your desire to receive it at the department at your place of residence or registration. Then it will be sent to the traffic police department indicated by the driver. You can find out the schedule of office hours of any department on the official website of the traffic police, and you can now send documents and applications electronically.
