Where can I check my deprivation online?
Today, there are several services for checking the ban on driving a car using your driver’s license number. But they all request data from the traffic police database, being essentially a chain in the order of requesting information with the ensuing possible errors and out-of-date data.
Therefore, the only relevant way in 2021 to check the deprivation of rights on the Internet, as well as find out whether the period has expired, is the official website of the traffic police. And here the data is displayed only by driver’s license number.
In fact, you can get the following information from the database:
- the very fact of the presence of a control ban,
- you will be able to find out the date when the period of deprivation ends,
- state of execution - whether the period of deprivation has begun at all,
- city or other locality of birth of the offender.
How can I find out if there is a deprivation of rights on the traffic police website?
The procedure for checking a driver's license online is quite simple. To search for data on revocation of rights you will need:
- series and serial number of the person being checked,
- date of its issue.
Both of these parameters can be found on the back of the license: the series and number are at the bottom of the certificate, the date of receipt is for the earliest open category. This date is also on the front side in column 4a:
So, the instructions are simple, and finding out a person’s ID and expiration date is done in just a few clicks.
- Go to the official website of the traffic police in the section checking the driver for deprivation.
- In the presented form you will see 2 fields to fill out: series and license number and date of issue.
- Fill in the numbers in these fields in order - if you make a mistake, you will not be able to go back to the left to correct it. Also, you cannot paste copied driver’s license data into the form for verification - alas, the State Traffic Inspectorate website is very limited in these actions.
- Next, click on the “request review” link below.
As a result, information about the driver’s rights and their status will appear below this link. Let's look at 2 possible options.
If there is no deprivation
In this case, you will simply receive information containing the following data:
- date of birth of the person whose driver's license is being checked,
- date of issue of rights,
- expiration date of the license,
- categories that you can manage.
This is what the check result looks like if there is no deprivation or its period has expired:
That is, if after the information about your rights the reference data “Please pay your attention!” begins, then you are not deprived of your rights according to the traffic police database
But there may be an error here too. The fact is that the database of the traffic police website is not always updated up to date, and if a decision was made against you recently, then when checking your rights to deprivation online you will not be able to find out about this, since the information has not yet been received. But temporary failures are also possible, which, unfortunately, happen regularly on the portal. In this case, just try again to check the deprivation in a few days.
If you are deprived
In this case, the site will show you the relevant information. This is what it will look like:
As of the inspection date, information about the deprivation and when the deadline expires, as well as the status of execution
Pay attention to the line “status of execution of the resolution” - it may raise questions for many motorists. Essentially, it reflects whether the period of deprivation of rights has begun or not, and the following options for displaying information in this line are possible.
- “ The calculation of the period of deprivation of the right to drive has begun ” - this means that the period is running and should end according to plan (more on this below).
- “ The calculation of the period is interrupted ” - this means that you probably did not submit your driver’s license, and thus the execution period began, but was interrupted after 3 days and will begin again when you submit your license to the traffic police. This is the worst result of checking rights, since in fact the period of deprivation has increased significantly.
- “ A ruling has been issued ” - you have been sentenced, but the court ruling itself has not yet entered into legal force.
Moment of accrual
In accordance with Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the moment of accrual of the period for deprivation of a driver’s license begins after the relevant resolution comes into force: “the period of confiscation of a driver’s license is counted from the moment the court decision on the selection of administrative sanctions in the form of deprivation of the driver’s rights comes into effect.”
There is a time period between the court hearing and the entry into force of the established penalty, which is called the appeal period. Part 1 of Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states: “it is possible to appeal the conclusion of a violation within 10 days from the date of receipt of the relevant document or its copy.”
Considering the above, it becomes clear that after the court's decision it is necessary to obtain a copy of the decision . After this, you have the opportunity to appeal the verdict within 10 days. If the court decision is not challenged within the prescribed period, the punishment comes into force.
According to Article 31.1 of the Administrative Code, the court’s conclusion about the offense committed begins to take effect:
- after the expiration of the period established for challenging the decision on a violation, in the case where the decision on punishment was not appealed or protested;
- there are special conditions for situations where the court decision is overturned by a higher authority (in this case, the period of deprivation of rights may not occur, but the driver will be without a license for some time);
- immediately after the verdict, which is not subject to appeal.
IMPORTANT! The key criterion is that the driver obtains a court order. If the citizen was present at the meeting, a copy of the resolution is issued on the spot, and 10 days for appeal are counted down. If the offender was not present at the trial, he is sent a registered letter with a delivery period of up to 2 weeks.
In this regard, the moment from which the period of deprivation of rights begins is postponed for an indefinite period.
How can I see when the deadline ends?
This data is indicated in the deprivation information block.
But the exact date, how much is left before obtaining a license, is not displayed on the traffic police website when checking deadlines. You will have to calculate it yourself. But don't worry, it's very easy to do!
To calculate when the period of deprivation of a driver's license ends, we need to know the following regulatory data:
- the period of deprivation begins from the day the court decision enters into force - this occurs on the 11th day from the day it was issued by the judge,
- within 3 days you are required to surrender your driver's license or write a statement about the loss to the traffic police, which executes the court order (must be indicated in a copy of the decision), otherwise the period of deprivation will be interrupted and resumed from the date of surrender or application.
Calculation example No. 1
- The judge deprived the driver of his license on January 1, 2021 for a period of 4 months, making a corresponding decision,
- accordingly, the punishment comes into force on January 11,
- before January 14, you must give your license to the traffic police or write a statement if you have lost it,
- Let’s say you handed in your ID, then the period of deprivation will expire on May 11, 2021.
Calculation example No. 2
- The court imposed a sentence of March 1, 2021 for six months,
- you appealed the decision in the district court - thus, the entry into force was postponed until the decision of the district court was made - for example, this happened on May 1, in this case it comes into force immediately - from 05/1/2021,
- you must submit your driver’s license by May 3, but you didn’t do this, and only wrote a statement about the loss on May 20,
- in this case, on May 1, as expected, the period of deprivation of rights began, but was interrupted on the 3rd, and resumed on the 20th - thus, it expires only on November 17, 2021 (3 days from the 1st to the 3rd, then six months minus these 3 days , starting May 20).
It is important to know!
Regarding the statement of loss of rights. In June 2021, the Supreme Court issued a Resolution of the Plenum. It examined a number of issues, including the terms of deprivation of rights.
And the Supreme Commander pointed out that if you wrote a statement about the loss of your license, but then continued to drive with it again, deceiving the traffic police, then the entire calculation period that had already passed before the day this violation was discovered is canceled and starts anew from the day it was discovered violations. And this is in addition to the fine for driving while deprived of your license.
One more example. You have been deprived of your driving privileges for 3 months. The resolution came into force on January 20, and you filed a statement about the loss of your license on time. But they continued to travel with him. On April 10, traffic police inspectors caught you, ransacked your license, and it turned out that you had been revoked and indicated that it was the driver’s license they had presented for verification that they had lost. And in this case, 3 months will begin again on April 10 and will pass only on July 10.
Ways to check the period of deprivation of rights
The driver must know for what period of time the deprivation of the ability to drive the car applies. Otherwise, a more serious violation may result, and the sentence will increase due to a new court ruling.
There are two ways to determine how long the driving taboo lasts:
- through a resolution of the body administering justice;
- on the Internet on the traffic police website through a specialized service.
In the resolution
The decision made by the judge after considering a case of an administrative offense must be in written form. The court order can be handed to the driver or sent by registered mail to the registration address.
The document states:
- elements of the offense;
- circumstances of the case;
- the grounds on which the relevant decision was made;
- the period of time for which the specified person is deprived of the opportunity to drive a car.
Data from the court order can be used to calculate the period of disqualification. If a paper copy is lost, the necessary ruling can be found on the website of the court in which it was issued.
Through the traffic police database
Citizens are provided with another way to determine the day when the period of deprivation of the ability to drive expires. To do this you need:

- Go to the traffic police website.
- Find the “Driver Check” service on the resource.
- In the window that appears, enter information from the certificate confirming your authority to drive a vehicle: number, series, date of issue and see the result.
The service provides information about the existence of court rulings against the owner of the specified document and indicates the day on which the restrictions expire. The search in judicial databases is carried out by the person’s last name, first name and patronymic, as well as date of birth.
The agency warns that the verification method used does not exclude the coincidence of the data with the full namesakes of citizens, provided that the date of birth matches. If you find false information, you can apply for its exclusion from the system. If necessary, the traffic police confirms the presence or absence of court orders in relation to a particular citizen.
How to find a court decision?
Unfortunately, through the traffic police website it is impossible to find out the number of the decision or court order imposing a punishment.
If, when checking the number of your driver’s license for deprivation, you suddenly discovered the presence of it, even with an interrupted period, although you did not receive any letters and, therefore, did not know about the imposed punishment, then you can find out the court’s decision only by requesting the relevant information from the traffic police at the place of deprivation.
But this can also be done through an online application by submitting a corresponding application online on the same traffic police website.
If you have a range of possible courts where the punishment was imposed, then you can look at the ruling or decision directly on the official website of the court, finding it in search engines. This court website will be official if it ends with “…sudrf.ru”.
How to find out the penalty for deprivation?
A fine imposed simultaneously with a driving ban under articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses for intoxication or refusal to undergo examination can be officially enforced in 2 ways:
- on the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate in the section for checking fines,
- on State Services.
You can easily identify the fine for deprivation of rights among others - it will be in the amount of 30,000 rubles and by date it will be issued approximately when the deprivation was imposed and the term began.
Please note that when the period of deprivation has passed, in order to return the license you will need to pay not only this fine, but also all other fines you have from the traffic area.
Statute of limitations for revocation of a driver's license
Until recently, it was possible to avoid deprivation of driving rights for one year. After 12 months, the existing sanction was cancelled. Today, such a number will not work - if the offender avoids communication with law enforcement agencies and does not want to surrender his license, the term of deprivation is suspended. But this happens until the traffic police stop the “fugitive” or the driver himself decides to hand over such a document.
Part 2 of Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:
How can I check if I passed the exam?
This information is also not provided interactively online. Based on the results of passing the exam, you should have been given a special conclusion about this.
In any case, you can request this information in writing to the traffic police department where you passed the theory, or by the same online request.
How to get your license back after deprivation?
To do this, it is important that the following conditions are met:
- you handed over your driver’s license on time to the traffic police department that is executing your punishment, or you wrote a statement about the loss, and you were not caught driving on an unsurrendered license,
- you have successfully passed the theoretical exam on knowledge of traffic rules,
- you have paid all available fines (and they have reached the traffic police database, or you have receipts),
- in case of deprivation of your license under one of the articles for drunk driving or refusal of examination, you also received a new medical certificate in form 003-B/u.
In this case, simply by calculation, when the period of deprivation of a driver’s license expires, you come to the traffic police department where they are located and ask them to be issued, taking with you the following documents:
- Your passport,
- receipts for payment of fines,
- medical certificate (in case of deprivation for intoxication or refusal to undergo a medical examination).
What it is
To consider the issue of imposing a ban on driving a car, the following must be submitted:
- protocol on an administrative violation (driving while intoxicated, violating traffic rules, etc.);
- other information: explanation;
- conclusion issued by specialists after the examination;
- testimony of persons (witnesses) involved in the case;
- a complaint submitted within the established time frame;
- petition.
The case goes to court. Then the citizen is summoned to the meeting by sending him a summons. Automobile? That is, a law enforcement officer notifies about the timing and place of consideration of the case.
The hearing takes place in the city or district court at the place where the violation was committed. But an individual who is accused of an offense retains the right to move the trial to his place of residence. The basis for this is a statement.
The court explains to the driver his rights. Lack of clarification is a serious violation that is punishable by law.
Do not agree to the judge’s persuasion to admit your guilt in exchange for imposing a small fine or a minimum period of deprivation of your driver’s license.
Stand your ground.
After all, the right to drive a car can be deprived only in cases prescribed by Russian legislation.
But there are also rules that apply to all situations related to the deprivation of the opportunity to drive (Article 3.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation):
- The driver committed a one-time gross offense.
- The rules are violated systematically. That is, the citizen was not taught a lesson about the fines assigned by the traffic inspector and he continues to violate traffic rules.
- Only under this article (3.8) can the rights of a citizen with disabilities be deprived. In other situations, depriving disabled people of the right to drive a vehicle is not permitted.
A court decision is formalized using a document such as a decree, by which the citizen is either acquitted or he receives a punishment - he is left without a driver's license.
The resolution must contain detailed information reflecting:
- circumstances of violation of traffic rules;
- evidence of persons being held accountable;
- reasons for not accepting for consideration certain documents, evidence, materials that were previously issued by experts;
- rules and deadlines for filing a complaint against a received court order that imposed a ban on driving a car.
In the event that a court deprives a driver of the right to drive a vehicle, a complaint may be filed with higher authorities.
When depriving a driver's license, the following procedure is followed:
- A protocol is drawn up by the inspector (Article 28.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), which reflects the date, time and place of the incident, as well as other information that is relevant to the case under consideration.
- The case is considered by representatives of the judicial authority (transferred by the inspector within 3 days after the preparation of the protocol). At this stage, the driver has the right to present his evidence and get acquainted with the information provided by the authorized body.
- The court issues a deprivation order.
- The driver's license is surrendered or withdrawn.
If there is no element or event of violation, the driver receives an oral reprimand from the judge, and a decision will be made in the case that the process of considering the administrative offense is over.
You can return your driver’s license after the expiration of the period for which it was confiscated in accordance with the Decree of the authorities of the Russian Federation on the rules for returning a driver’s document (clause 1191).
The return procedure will be as follows:
- You are taking an exam.
- Submit an application to the traffic police.
- Provide the required list of documents.
- You get your rights back.
The procedure for depriving a driver's license for debt is described in the article: procedure for depriving a driver's license.
