Stages of the procedure
Before considering how to obtain a license after passing the exam at the State Traffic Inspectorate, it should be noted that in 2021 new rules for the registration and issuance of documents began to apply. The changes made make the procedure easier for future drivers.
You must first attend a driving school. The institution is chosen by the citizen himself, or he is sent from his place of service or work. As part of the curriculum, driving skills and control of vehicles of the relevant categories are acquired. Training involves theoretical and practical classes.
It is important to know! The length of the training period depends on the category of rights. Driving trucks, excavators, tractors and similar types of equipment requires the greatest amount of time. The training that takes the shortest time is for scooters and motorcycles, as well as off-road motor vehicles: ATVs, snowmobiles.
Exams
Upon completion of the driving course, you are required to confirm your skills. Otherwise, it is impossible to legally obtain rights. The vehicle owner must pass a written exam to demonstrate their knowledge of traffic rules. In case of a successful test, the citizen is issued a certificate indicating theoretical readiness to drive.
Next you need to confirm your practical skills. To do this, you need to pass another exam, in which the citizen is allowed to drive a vehicle. The future driver needs to move along a given route with a minimum number of violations. If you successfully pass the practical test, it becomes possible to obtain a license for the car.
Medical commission
When considering how to obtain a driver's license after passing the exam at the State Traffic Inspectorate, it should be noted that the document can be issued after a preliminary health check. There are a number of restrictions under which driving is contraindicated. Therefore, the procedure for registering rights must include a medical examination.
It is planned to check with the following doctors:
- Expert in narcology;
- Psychiatrist;
- Ophthalmologist;
- Surgeon;
- Neuropathologist;
- Otolaryngologist.
After passing the examinations, in the absence of contraindications, the citizen is issued a certificate. To obtain it, you should consult a therapist. You can take the commission at any medical institution or clinic.
State duty
The issuance of a driver's license is not free. In addition to the funds spent on training at a driving school, the driver will have to incur additional expenses. The main item is payment of state duty. In 2021, its size is 2,000 rubles (for a certificate in the form of an electronic card). You can currently obtain a paper version of the document only at the traffic police departments, where there is no necessary equipment for producing plastic licenses.
Payment is made in several ways:
- At the cash desk of a bank branch.
- Through an electronic self-service terminal.
- Through Internet services.
Attention! For some groups of the population, preferential conditions for obtaining rights are provided. In such cases, the cost of state duty is reduced by 30%.
Documentation
To register a license for a car or other vehicle, you must provide the necessary certificates and papers to the traffic police department. These include:
- Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (or other identity document).
- Application for issuance of a certificate.
- Certificate of passing a medical commission.
- Receipt received after payment of the state duty.
- Certificate of successful completion of exams.
If the driver has not reached the age of majority at the time of submitting the document, he is required to provide written consent. It can be completed by a parent or legal guardian.
How to legally get a license faster
We will not look for loopholes in the laws, but will show you how to speed up your training using simple steps and get your license in 2-2.5 months after submitting documents to a driving school. To do this you need to adhere to certain rules.
Choose the right driving school
Often, future drivers choose a driving school based on the principle “the cheaper, the better”, and then for months they cannot pass the traffic police exams, losing valuable time, money and nerves. To prevent this from happening, the driving school you choose must meet the following criteria:
- No need to wait for a group to be recruited
- The ability to quickly start driving - for example, with us this can be done after 10 days of studying the theory.
- Providing at least 28 hours of driving time.
- Possibility of online learning, without attending classrooms.
- Providing a car for practical exams at the traffic police.
In our driving school, training takes 2.5 months. In other words, if you're lucky, in just 3 months you can legally drive a car, and do it with confidence. In the cost of training, we also included support at the traffic police - our employee will help you submit the documents necessary to pass the exams and obtain a driving license.
Learn theory responsibly
On the traffic police exam, you can make no more than two mistakes. This means that you need to know by heart the answers to 800 questions regarding:
- road signs;
- traffic safety;
- features of vehicle operation;
- legal aspects;
- nuances of first aid.
The easiest way to learn the theory is as follows:
- Take detailed notes on lectures, paying special attention to crossing intersections, gestures of traffic controllers and issues of vehicle operation.
- Buy a collection of exam papers and start solving them immediately after you start studying.
- Go to your personal account and solve problems there, they are divided into topics and tickets.
- Write down the question you made a mistake in answering.
- If something is not clear, ask the teacher or look for the answer yourself in the Rules. (On our website you can use the lecturer for free without waiting for lectures.)
It is impossible to remember all 800 questions and their answers. You need to understand the principle of constructing questions, know the Rules and road signs, then you will be able to quickly pass the theoretical exam and bring the moment of obtaining a driver’s license closer.
Important: after failing the exam, you can retake it again in a week, and after three attempts - in a month.
Attend driving and practice tasks
Most driver candidates fail at the race track or while driving in the city. Anxiety, of course, plays an important role here, but those who are irresponsible about driving lessons have the most problems. During the training process you need to acquire the following skills:
- Ability to move from a stop, including in reverse and uphill.
- The ability to feel the dimensions of a car, at least at an initial level.
- Calmly perform parallel parking, entering a box and overpass - these exercises are considered the most difficult.
Don’t hesitate to take extra driving hours and ask your driving instructor questions. Watch videos on YouTube yourself, from which you can learn a lot of useful information for a novice driver.
Important: if you learn to drive a car well, your chances of passing the exam the first time will increase by 2 times.
Receipt time
The period of time before the issuance of ready-made rights depends on many factors. The level of workload of the traffic police department, place in the queue, and the availability of all necessary documents are taken into account. As a rule, the application is processed fairly quickly, but the production of the certificate takes a certain period of time.
It is important to know! On average, you can get a driver's license in 15 working days. Sometimes this period may be overdue, which most often occurs through the fault of the driver himself. In addition, if there are compelling reasons, a citizen may be denied a certificate.
Rights of different samples where to see the necessary data
- The easiest way is for owners of old-style rights. They have not yet used a code system, so the record has a standard form. Example: “Issued by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate-MVD Moscow.” This is exactly how it needs to be transferred to the State Services website. If the site does not allow you to indicate the details of the department that issued you the certificate in full, then indicate only what is in bold. In the example, this is the word “Moscow”.
- The first plastic cards were issued about 10-15 years ago, and drivers still have them in their hands. Now, when the time has come to replace them, you should find information about the traffic police department that issued them. In this case, it is most difficult to find the necessary information. Inspectorate employees have already begun to use the codes, but placed them in a non-standard place. Look at the front of the card and find the black hexagon on it. It contains three lines indicating the place where the license was issued; if you rewrite this information, it will look like this (example): “74 GIBDD 02.” The first group of numbers are the coordinates of the department, and the last group is the employee’s personal code. You need to rewrite the information in the same form as in the example.
- Now they issue licenses that are the size of a bank card; the font has become less readable, but there is much more information on the sides. At the same time, they decided to place information in the form in a standard form, without using graphical highlighting. Find line 4c on the front side - this is where information about the place of issue of the document is entered. Example: “Staff Police 7402”. So transfer it to State Services. As you can see, the code has undergone only minor changes - the groups of numbers have been combined.
Car enthusiasts often discuss what to write in the “Issued by” field on “Government Services”. Most of them note that this field has no specific binding - no drop-down lines appear when entering data. Some put only the code, others indicate the complete information. This does not affect the receipt of the service - the form is filled out in free form, the main thing is that the information is reliable.
The procedure for obtaining through the traffic police
The registration procedure is regulated by the rules described in Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 995 (dated October 20, 2015). Violation of this process is grounds for refusal to issue rights. Main stages:
- Registration. A citizen must sign up for the electronic queue using a special machine located in the traffic police department. Registration is possible for any day, but you should take into account the opening hours of the institution.
- Payment of state duty. Mandatory expense item when obtaining a certificate. In 2021, the price of rights is 2000 rubles. A temporary document can be issued for 800 rubles. Money is deposited at bank cash desks, at self-service terminals, through mobile applications or via the Internet. You must first obtain details, which differ in different traffic police departments.
- Collection of documents. The list of papers needed for identification is presented above. They must be submitted to the department on the date selected when registering in the electronic queue.
- Obtaining rights. You need to pick up the completed document at the branch where the application was submitted. It is important that the institution is assigned a driving school in which the exam was previously taken. The fact that the certificate is ready is usually notified by telephone.
Which driving schools can you get certificates from?
Now certificates can be obtained in several types of driving schools. In any case, each institution must have a license to carry out certain work. If this does not happen, then the certificates will no longer have legal force.
In addition, theoretical and practical courses are always coordinated and must fully comply with the requirements of the standard program. All this is carried out by government agencies to which the educational institution is subordinate.
It is important that the driving school has a license to provide such services
If we talk about driving schools, they are divided into several main types.
- State.
- Private.
- Created at any enterprise.
Important! A government driving school is a guaranteed option because the certificates are almost never in doubt. But there is such a drawback as a poor vehicle fleet.
If we talk about private driving schools, they are in demand today because they can provide a wide range of services and, in pursuit of the flow of students, make various discounts. They have a good fleet of vehicles, where all cars are in excellent technical condition. New modern developments for conducting classes are constantly being introduced there. The evidence may raise some doubts among traffic police inspectors. Schools often cannot withstand the competition and close almost immediately.
Quite often people prefer to go to private driving schools.
If we talk specifically about the third type, then either the organization’s employees or students will have priority rights. But the choice of machines for training will most likely not be the best.
Registration through State Services
Using this service simplifies filing an application with the traffic police. However, the receipt procedure remains standard. The online platform acts as an alternative method that eliminates the need to visit the branch. Internet services are provided free of charge.
Procedure:
- Registration. When you first visit the site, you need to go through initialization. In the upper right corner, select “personal account”. You can get into it after the user registers, which involves entering personal data: full name, phone number, email address (exclusively reliable information). Additionally, you need to indicate the series and number of your passport, SNILS and other information.
- Selecting a service. On the website you need to find the “driver’s license” tab. In this field you should select “obtaining a license after completing training.” The procedure will appear on the screen. To apply for the service, you need to fill out an application according to the proposed sample, indicating the date of the visit and the address of the selected branch.
- Payment of duty. On the State Services website you can transfer funds using the details from a citizen’s bank card. This method takes a few minutes. In this case, a discount of 30% of the amount is provided. Money can also be debited from electronic wallets or mobile accounts.
- Issuance of rights. After completing the described procedures, the user must appear on the date specified by him at the desired department. Otherwise, it goes into the general queue. Then the receipt period increases significantly.
A little about the ID

So, the first thing you should do is figure out what the new driver's document is and what it looks like. Today it has the form of a plastic card, on which information of various types is placed on the front and back sides. The front side will tell you about the following data:
- FULL NAME.
- Place of Birth.
- Date of Birth.
- Date when rights were issued.
- The period when they become invalid.
- The name and seal of the organization that issued the document.
- Document Number.
- Photo.
- Owner's signature.
- Additional information. For example, blood type or the fact of wearing glasses, etc.
The photo on the ID is located on the left. It is done automatically directly at the traffic police department according to the same standards as, say, a passport photo.
Please note that the signature on the document is exactly the same as on your passport. This is what makes it possible to use a driver’s license as a second identification document
The date and place of birth, as well as all the information, are written in Russian, and just below is the transliteration in Latin letters.
The series and document number are located on the fifth line. Moreover, its series consists of two numbers and two letters, and its number consists of six numbers. This information is also duplicated on the back of the document.
There you can also see a breakdown of the categories of driver's license indicating the one that this particular driver received.
Who issues the rights
The validity period of the rights is 10 years. They are issued on the basis of passing an exam based on the results of training at a driving school and a receipt for payment of the fee and costs for producing the form. The issuance procedure takes place exclusively at the place of residence or registration of the driver.
Previously, as is known, information was presented somewhat differently. The inscription was bulky and took up a lot of space on the document. Due to the fact that the new ID format is printed on the basis of optical-electronic photo identification, a code system has been developed that facilitates the process of reading information.
Online rights check
Thanks to the new service located on the above site, today vehicle owners, as well as employers who hire them, can electronically check information about both the driver and the car. To do this, you can use a search system that, using the document number, will determine the owner’s date of birth, the validity period of the rights and open categories.
Finding out the date of issue of a driver's license by number will be problematic, since the system will initially ask you to enter this information. Therefore, you can only check it on your document in the same fourth section on the front side.
The date of issue will be indicated as a result of searching for information regarding the presence of fines, checking the driver himself or his vehicle. But this can only be done if you have the driver’s license number and the date it was issued.
Registration of international rights
Having considered how to obtain a driver’s license, you should pay attention to the specifics of issuing an IDP. This procedure is not difficult if the citizen has documents, which include:
- Russian-style certificate.
- Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
- Photo 3.5x4.5.
- Duty payment receipt.
There is no need to retake the exams. There is also no need for a medical commission. To obtain it, you need to contact the traffic police department, where you must provide documents and fill out an application form. You can use the State Services website or get an international certificate at the MFC.
To become a driver's license holder, you must first undergo training at a driving school. After this, you need to contact the traffic police department, providing all the necessary documents. Violation of the registration procedure is grounds for refusal of extradition. Therefore, obtaining a certificate must occur in full compliance with established norms and rules.
Let's sum it up
It is impossible to obtain a license in a few days or weeks legally. Modern regulations require that persons who have been trained in a driving school be allowed to take traffic police exams. If you go through driving schools, and there are about 300 of them in Moscow, study theory for a month and only then start driving, fail the exams, then it may take up to six months to obtain a license, and in especially sad cases, a year. On the contrary, the simultaneous start of driving and studying theory, as well as high-quality preparation for the exam, reduces the time for obtaining a driving license to three to four months. The choice is yours to make.

What is the KVS coefficient and how is it used?
You can check your driver age-experience coefficient yourself using the table. It looks like this:
No. | Age and total experience of the vehicle driver | Odds size |
1. | Up to 22 years of age inclusive with driving experience of up to 3 years | 1,8 |
2. | Over 22 years old with up to 3 years of driving experience inclusive | 1,7 |
3. | Up to 22 years of age inclusive with a total driving experience exceeding 3 years | 1,6 |
4. | Over 22 years of age with a total experience exceeding 3 years | 1 |
Road users need to know that this indicator is not taken into account when calculating the cost of an insurance policy for:
- trailers of various types;
- vehicles that are owned by legal entities.
Insurers provide explanations as to which CIC indicator will be used in the event that more than one person is included in the compulsory motor third party liability policy. In this case, the maximum FAC coefficient of persons who will be allowed to drive a specific vehicle will be taken into account. It is to carry out these calculations that you need to know exactly the date of issue of the first driver’s license.
Some insurance companies offer their clients such auto liability contracts, where the number of persons allowed to drive a vehicle is not limited. In this case, the minimum FAC indicator is always used - one.
