Date of issue of the first driver's license: how to find out

Why do we need information about the issuance of the first document?

Usually only the motorist who was able to obtain it for the first time can remember the date of issue of his first driving license. But he will have to display this information when applying for an insurance policy online. Data on obtaining a license influences the calculation of the total length of service of a motorist, and is an integral part in calculating the cost of an MTPL policy. Such data is not displayed directly on the form itself. Many drivers try to cheat the system by indicating an arbitrary number within the year of issue. This trick does not work, since the system very quickly recognizes the discrepancy between the entered data. This will not allow you to issue an insurance policy.

Independent coefficient calculation

In order to protect himself from unlawful actions of the insurance company, a person has the right to independently calculate the coefficient by which the cost of his policy will increase.

To do this, just use the following information:

up to twenty-two years of age and up to three years of experience, it is equal to one point and eight tenths;
if the driver is under the above age, and the experience has exceeded three years, then one point six;
for citizens over twenty-two, but with less than three years of driving experience - one point seven.

For all others, the coefficient is equal to one, that is, age and driving experience do not affect the cost of the insurance policy. If several people fit into OSAGO, then the largest one will be applied. For example, if a parent with serious experience includes his eighteen-year-old child, who has just received his license, in the insurance, then the cost of insurance will be maximum. Determining the date of issue of a driver’s license and where to look for information is described below.

A number of insurance companies offer a policy under which any third party has the right to drive a vehicle. Compulsory motor liability insurance of this type is often more profitable than when introducing a newly hired driver.

Motorist card

After completing training at a driving school and passing testing, each motorist receives a special card. It displays complete information about the date of testing and receipt of the certificate. A huge problem for many drivers was the paper basis for this document. With the passage of time, it could become frayed, torn, or lost. Many drivers saw no reason to carry such paper products with them at all times, so they most often got lost.

When taking out an insurance policy, this document would allow one to avoid a lot of problems, but if it is lost, the driver has two more options for data recovery.

Why might this data be needed in 2021?

So, first of all, information about the date of issue of the license will be needed in order to determine the driving experience. At the same time, if a citizen receives rights, as a rule, no difficulties arise. However, when the ID is replaced (for example, as a result of its loss) or the expiration date, it becomes not so easy to immediately determine the date.

Why might you need information about the driver’s actual experience? Most often, citizens are faced with such a need when applying for an MTPL policy.

It is worth noting that if insurance is issued on paper during a personal visit to the organization, then all the necessary information will be obtained by the insurance company’s specialists independently. Difficulties can only arise when issuing an electronic policy.

If the license needed to be replaced due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which for 2021 is 10 years of driving experience, then there will not be much difference. After all, in any case, the required coefficient will be equal to one. However, the exact date when registering compulsory motor liability insurance is necessary when changing rights or surname.

Thus, if the driver himself has doubts about whether three years have passed since the change of license, the information requires clarification. With a longer period, as a date, the union of auto insurers allowed to enter only the year and the last day of this year.

traffic police

The database will allow the driver to obtain all the necessary information.

Using it you can get answers to the questions:

collection debts,
driving ban,
information about the car,
accurate information about obtaining rights,
presence or number of a court order restricting the ability to drive a car,
information about your current ID.

You can contact the traffic police by visiting the traffic police department or through the website. In the first case, you will need to make an appointment using an electronic queue. The traffic police will advise the motorist on any issues, including the date of issue of the document.

ATTENTION !!! On the website you can also make an appointment at any of the departments of the State Traffic Inspectorate. After this, you must visit the traffic police department on the specified date and time. The information the driver is interested in will be obtained without much effort.

Some drivers do not want to waste their time on visits to the State Traffic Inspectorate.

In this case, you can send an online request using the following algorithm:

Visit the official website of the traffic police;
Enter the “Services” item;
Select "Driver Check"
In the window that appears, you need to enter certain data, since the search here is carried out by the VU number;
Click to confirm the request function.

IMPORTANT !!! After completing all of the above operations, the motorist will have information on the required date, court decisions regarding this motorist and the place of obtaining the driving license. To search, you need to know exactly the series and number of the ID, since the search will not yield results using other personal data.

Is it possible to find out from the driver’s personal data?

It is not possible to find out information about a citizen’s first driver’s license and his driving experience based on his full name. This data is considered the citizen’s personal information, is protected by law and cannot be distributed (protection of confidential information).

Thus, today, obtaining information about the period for issuing the first driver’s license using the number of the current driver’s license is a fairly simple procedure. You are offered a choice of several services and request options that will save your time and allow you to quickly get answers to your questions.

RSA

Professionals advise entering the last day of the year instead of the required date. This has significantly simplified the procedure for obtaining a policy for motorists with more than 3 years of experience, but for newcomers to the wheel the difficulty still remains relevant. Using e-mail, you can send a request to the RSA and receive a response about the exact day the first rights are issued. If the policy is issued through an insurance company, then all the nuances of this issue can be taken care of by the insurer.

An undoubted advantage of contacting the RSA, in addition to access to the traffic police databases, is the calculation of the KBM. This information will be relatively useful, because the insurer will have to calculate this parameter independently. The ability to calculate the KBM index independently makes it possible to calculate in advance the cost of the policy for the driver. In controversial situations, the driver will always be able to refer to the opinion of RSA experts, because the calculations they issue have legal force.

ATTENTION !!! To calculate the KBM on the RSA website, you need to register on the site and log in. After this, you can go to the “Information for policyholders and victims” section. The driver must select the “For policyholders” option.

Using the PCA service requires access to the processing of personal data, so you need to check the appropriate box and confirm. The driver will be presented with a form that he/she needs to fill out. After checking all the specified data, you need to click confirm the operation. After this, all that remains is to wait for the results of the calculations.

How to get information about the date of issue of rights in 2021

Today there are several ways to obtain information. Let's look at the most popular of them:

Submitting a corresponding request to the RSA or the Russian Union of Auto Insurers. At the same time, you can send a request through the official RSA website or a host of other services on the Internet.
Driver's card . This document is issued in paper form to all drivers. However, more often than not, finding it in a stack of other papers is even more difficult than the information we need. One of the reasons for the lack of value of the document is its non-binding nature for drivers and the absence of fines for its loss.
Submit a corresponding request directly to the traffic police or on the official website of the State Road Safety Inspectorate.

Each of the methods listed above has its own pros and cons, but all of them are considered quite effective and convenient for obtaining the necessary data.

Driver's card

A personal driver card, or, as it is most often called, a driver’s card, is issued personally to each driver. It contains basic information regarding the driver himself, including:

exam date;
date of receipt of rights, etc.

Lawyers recommend that you treat this document with care and carry it with you in your glove compartment, because the card can be used as an additional supporting document.

As our practice shows, drivers with quite a long driving experience, most often, do not know the location of this document at all and believe that there is absolutely no need to restore it, because all the information recorded in it today can be obtained in a short time by other means.

Application to the traffic police

Today, drivers can receive most of the services provided by the traffic police electronically using the official website of the inspection. This approach was introduced to relieve specialists from automatic work and minimize queues.

Note

To obtain the necessary data, visit the State Traffic Inspectorate portal located at: https://tt.gibdd.ru

After visiting the site, follow these step-by-step instructions:

first of all, find the section called “Services” (at the top of the screen);
now point to the section and select “Check driver” in the window that appears, then left-click;
fill in all the required fields (date, number, series, etc.) and confirm the operation;
As soon as the program processes your request, all the necessary information about the driver, court decisions, date and place of issue of the license will appear on the screen.

It is worth noting that it is impossible to verify the data by providing other details. For example, information is not available by entering data from a paper or electronic PTS and last name, because such information is considered confidential and is protected by law.

In addition, today it is possible to obtain the information in question by contacting the local traffic police department. To do this, it is necessary to draw up a corresponding application in writing, indicating in its content all information about the driver and data from his valid license. At the end of the application you must state a request for information.

The only disadvantage of this method of obtaining data, in addition to wasting time visiting the authority, is the review period, which is sometimes thirty calendar days!

Copies of all necessary papers and documents must be attached to the driver’s application, including a copy of the PTS (if it is in paper form), a copy of the driver’s license and a copy of the identity document.

Obtaining information from RSA

Another popular way to obtain information is to contact the Union of Auto Insurers or RSA. To do this, you should state your desire in writing in free form on a blank sheet of paper, attach copies of all the necessary documents (the contents of such a package of papers can be found on the website) and give it to the employee. In addition, in 2021 there is the possibility of receiving data by email.

As a rule, RSA specialists themselves find all the necessary information , and then send it to you.

It is worth noting that at the time of writing there is no possibility of obtaining information online on the RSA website. However, the technical department assured us that their programmers are working on adding this feature and it is quite possible that it has already appeared - be sure to check!

RSA recommendations for drivers

If a citizen’s total driving experience is more than three years, he should not look for an opportunity to obtain information about the date he received a driver’s license. That’s why RSA employees recommend first finding out whether this information is really necessary or whether the driver can enter an approximate date.

In addition, RSA recommends not to bother searching for reliable information, entering in the fields as the date the last day of December of the year when the driver received his first license . This way, the system will be able to correctly process the response, and the cost of the policy will not change.

The above method of entering information is considered the simplest and fully complies with the norms of existing legislation.

Why do you need a compulsory motor liability insurance policy?

Compulsory insurance is not a whim of officials, since thanks to it many debt obligations can be avoided in the event of an accident. Considering the congestion of city roads or highways, this precaution does not seem unnecessary at all. If an accident occurs due to the fault of the driver, then a timely issued policy will allow the insurer to compensate for losses incurred in repairing someone else’s car. In this case, the damage will be compensated not only to property, but also to the health status of the victims. Therefore, insurance is mandatory for motorists.

Online tracking information

Online today you can get the information we are interested in in two ways:

Send the corresponding request by email to RSA and wait for a response.
Try to get information using a special service on the official website of the traffic police.

At the same time, the last option is considered the simplest and most comfortable. After all, the traffic police portal works very quickly, without any glitches. At least, the whole procedure will go much faster than processing an application and searching for information in the RSA.

However, on the official website of the RSA, drivers have the opportunity to obtain information of a different kind. For example, you can check online the KBM, which is a special coefficient used to calculate the cost of compulsory motor liability insurance.

To do this, follow these instructions:

go to the RSA website and find a section called “OSAGO”;
Select on the left side “Information for policyholders...”;
find the section “Information...to determine the KBM”;
we agree with the processing of our data (this is a standard procedure and it is completely safe);
fill in all the required fields;
We wait until the system calculates the exact coefficient.

What are the dangers of driving a car without a policy?

Taking out insurance is an important condition for every motorist. The penalty for not having a policy can vary significantly. If there is no policy at all, then the motorist will have to part with an amount equal to 800 rubles. All consequences of an accident fall on the shoulders of the unlucky motorist who forgot to pay for the policy. In the absence of this document and maintenance, the motorist faces a fine of 500 rubles.

ATTENTION !!! Sometimes the driver simply forgot the policy at home. In this case, he must pay a fine of 500 rubles if he does not prove that the policy still exists. To do this, you need to provide the number of an insurance agent who can confirm the availability of the policy. It will help you recover your policy number that was forgotten at home. If there is a duplicate or scan of the insurance, this can also serve as evidence for the inspector.

When the insurance period has expired, it can be called expired. This threatens the driver with a fine of 800 rubles. Sometimes driving a car is done by a motorist who is not included in the insurance policy. For example, a car owner is drunk and transfers control to another person. In this case, the fine will be 800 rubles. Moreover, it will be the car owner who will pay for it.

RSA recommendations

After it became possible to issue insurance policies via the Internet, vehicle owners began en masse to apply to the Russian Union of Auto Insurers.

The question of what numbers to use when applying for a policy has become quite relevant if you can only see the year on your driver’s license.

The union members decided to use the date “December 31”. This was officially reported by the RSA press service.

You can address this question to the insurer’s office, where the insurance agent issues the policy . Therefore, he will also have to look for the date of issue of the first driver’s license. For this he receives a salary.

But it often happens that contacting different insurance companies shows different results. The driver will need to independently determine who should be entrusted with taking out insurance.

Most drivers who decided to purchase an MTPL policy using the Internet were faced with the need to indicate their exact driving experience. If you enter only the year, the system will generate an error and require you to enter complete information .

Therefore, it is necessary to understand how to find out the date of issue of the first driver’s license in the RSA database. And also what other methods can be used.

It is very important to indicate the date of receipt of the first driver's license for those motorists who recently received a driver's license and lost it or changed their last name.

The age-experience ratio of the driver will depend on this, which affects the cost of insurance.

Punishment for a fake policy

Due to the significant increase in the cost of insurance, many drivers resort to falsifying such a document. An offender caught doing this is unlikely to get away with a large monetary penalty. In this case, the violator may even face criminal prosecution. If forgery of documents is discovered during a stop by a traffic police inspector, the offender may be charged up to 80,000 rubles. If he caused an accident, the fine will become much more substantial. It amounts to up to 120,000 rubles or the driver faces imprisonment for up to 2 years.

When is an insurance policy not important?

There are situations when the presence of compulsory motor liability insurance is not necessary for the driver.

These include:

Vehicles with a design feature of up to 20 km/h,
when insuring a risk by another policyholder, which is not prohibited by current legislation,
if you have an international insurance policy,
Vehicle intended for military service,
due to the presence of certain technical characteristics, due to which the car is not subject to the provisions of the Russian Federation law on compulsory insurance,
when the vehicle is not equipped with wheel propellers.

In other cases, insurance must be issued no later than 10 calendar days from the date of registration of rights to the vehicle.

RSA database

Another way to find out when the first driver's license was issued is to query the database of the auto insurers union. This procedure is completely legal, RSA makes every effort to accommodate individuals who want to obtain data about the old VU. The RSA website is located at: autoins.ru.

To simplify the procedure, a universal date is entered in all questionnaires - December 31. Therefore, the driver can quickly find the necessary information without having to enter the exact time of receipt of the driving license. To search, you can also contact the insurance company that handles the paperwork. Specialists of the Union of Auto Insurers act on the principles of honesty and openness in providing data, so they will undertake the search, regardless of the complexity.

Information about the time of issue of the tertiary license cannot be obtained from the RSA database. You can send a request to RSA staff or write by e-mail.

Other data is also checked using the car insurers database - KBM. This index affects the cost of the insurance policy. It is recommended to calculate this index before purchasing insurance. If you make a mistake, the loss can amount to more than one thousand rubles.

Is the driver at risk of having his state license plate removed if he does not have compulsory motor insurance?

This year, traffic cops do not have the opportunity to remove registration plates. In this case, the car is not sent to the penalty area, but the driver will not be able to get out of the fine. In a very good situation, the inspector may limit himself to a verbal warning, but often an administrative penalty is imposed on the offender.

To avoid material expenses and not get into the most awkward situations, you should issue a policy in a timely manner. The amount of insurance payment has increased significantly this year, but it will be much better than regularly receiving fines for violating traffic rules. Each driver makes the decision to take out a policy independently, but it is always better to know about the consequences in advance.

Ways to determine who issued a driver's license

All the streets of the real world are filled with a variety of means of transportation. Absolutely each car has its own documents, which indicate all the details of the car.

And also, every driver must have such a thing as a driver’s license.

Without them you cannot appear on the road and the fine for violating the rules can be very high. However, there are situations when you need to find out who issued the driver's license. In this article we will try to explain to you how to find out.

What is a driver's license?

This is a document that contains all the data of the person driving the car. It also lists all driving categories that are given to the driver when applying for a driver’s license. No driver in his right mind would get behind the wheel when he does not have a license, as he risks losing it and being fined.

In some cases, you need to find out who issued these same rights. Let's figure it out now.

All information about this inspection is indicated there. All driver's licenses are made of plastic material. Thanks to modern technologies and the creation of new websites, every driver has the right to find out who issued the license.

The driver has the opportunity to visit a special website, which indicates who is the creator of these same rights.

However, it is not always possible to use the site, and you need to find out soon, so there is an easier way - to determine by the front side of the issued rights. How to do it? Quite simple.

Similar information can be found on the front side of the rights, which is indicated in paragraph 4c. It consists of 4 digits. Let’s say “State Traffic Safety Inspectorate 1234”, where the first two digits indicate the inspectorate and its personal code. It was this inspection, number “12”, that issued the license, but “34” is a different situation.

Otherwise, the protocol may be completely invalid.

In general, the road is a very dangerous place. You cannot neglect your rights, you must always be careful on the roads, especially at night, when there are even more “drivers” and anything can happen.

So try not to break the rules and always be careful on the roads. You never know, an accident will occur that will not only threaten your health, but also damage your car. You don't want to spend extra money on a car to get it fixed when the situation can be avoided.

However, not everyone is like that. There are also people who do their jobs honestly and defend the law. That's all, the article comes to an end. We hope that it will be very useful for you and that you will listen to our words. We really don't want troubles to escalate you, and bad situations to lead to waste of money.

We managed to figure out how to find out the inspection code, as well as the personal code of the traffic police officer. Let us repeat again that there are two options - use the site and find out all the data, and the second - look at the front side of the card.

And we wish you pleasant roads, many trips, and most importantly, a life without problems, so that stupid situations and clashes with the law do not arise.

Remember that every driver must be vigilant and have good knowledge of the road even in emergency situations, because once you make a mistake, you may not be able to return what was before and you can only remember it!
