What documents are needed for a driver's medical examination (medical certificate for a license) in 2021?

When is a medical examination needed?

A medical commission is a mandatory procedure for Russian citizens who have completed training in driving schools and plan to obtain a license. It can only be carried out in hospital institutions that have the appropriate accreditation and licenses. An applicant for a driver's license will have to undergo an examination by many highly specialized doctors, an instrumental examination, and submit biological material for testing.

Each doctor on the list approved at the legislative level will have to indicate that the patient has no pathologies in his area. Ultimately, the individual comes to see a therapist, who closes the certificate with his note, signs and seals the medical institution.

Important! If the owner of a vehicle has a license, then he must provide the traffic police with a medical certificate about his state of health no more than once every ten years.

A certificate issued to an individual after passing a medical commission may be required in the following situations:

When studying at a driving school.
Upon initial acquisition of rights.
When a driver opens a new category.
When replacing a document after its expiration date.
When obtaining a driver's license after the driver has been deprived of the right to drive a car.

How much does a medical certificate cost?

Every person, before ordering a medical certificate, wants to know in advance about the amount of the upcoming financial costs for it. The cost of registration will depend on the full list of examinations, the specific region, as well as the selected medical institution. Often the costs are up to 3,000 rubles, but can be an order of magnitude lower. As for payment methods, when choosing the appropriate option, you also need to take into account the characteristics of a particular clinic. Usually the payment option is online, through a bank or in cash.

It is worth noting that pregnant women can undergo a medical commission.

In this case, expectant mothers need to visit specialized doctors if they are in good or satisfactory condition. If the pregnancy is in any danger, you should not undergo a medical examination until the birth of the baby.

Health requirements for drivers of different categories

Federal legislation imposes a number of requirements on future drivers, in particular regarding their health.

It is prohibited to drive motor vehicles and motorcycles if individuals have diseases of the following organs and systems:
Pathologies of the organs of vision.
Complete deafness in 1 ear, chronic purulent processes.
Diseases leading to disruption of the vestibular apparatus.
Malignant, benign neoplasms that interfere with the free movements of the upper and lower extremities.

Diseases that can limit an individual's mobility.
Postoperative conditions.
Hypertension of the third stage.
Endocrine pathologies in which there is a disruption in the functionality of the gland.
Alcoholism, drug addiction.

Stages of passage

The procedure for passing a medical commission involves several stages:

An individual applies to any accredited hospital institution.
The citizen informs the therapist about what driving category he is applying for.
On the spot, the patient will be issued a medical card (bypass sheet), with which he must undergo examination by highly specialized doctors.
After the examination, each doctor makes a note about the health status of the future driver.
The therapist gives the final conclusion, registers the certificate, certifies it with a wet seal and signature.

What is a medical examination for a license?

A medical certificate is an official document proving the driver’s physical fitness and ability to drive a car. Persons who have not been examined by doctors or have been prohibited from doing so are not allowed to drive.

To draw up such a conclusion, you must provide the following documents:

passport;
2 photos 3x4;
driver's license if available.

Sometimes situations arise in which it is still necessary to provide a doctor’s report, even if you already have a license to drive a vehicle.

Among them:

replacement of a driver's license upon expiration of its validity period;
obtaining new rights after deprivation;
opening a new category.

When replacing driving licenses if they are worn out, lost or stolen, you do not need to provide a certificate.

Which doctors should you go to?

The medical commission for drivers of motorcycles and cars of category B includes the following list of doctors required to undergo:

expert in narcology;
psychiatrist;
ophthalmologist;
therapist.

In 2021, some specialists were removed from this list.

Previously, it was also required to undergo examination by the following doctors:

surgeon;
otolaryngologist;
gynecologist;
neurologist.

In some cases, the therapist may decide to refer the citizen for an additional examination by a neurologist. Electroencephalography and urine analysis are also performed at the discretion of the therapist.

For persons who own or open categories C, D, E, Tm, Tb, a neurologist, otolaryngologist and electroencephalography are required. A narcologist may additionally refer you for a urine test if he has suspicions that a citizen has an alcohol or drug addiction.

What certificates do you need to obtain?

To obtain a medical report, you must undergo an examination by a narcologist. This can only be done in a public clinic. The doctor will examine the citizen and make a decision on whether the person is allowed or not allowed to drive a car. In some cases, urine and blood tests are additionally prescribed to ensure the absence of narcotic substances in the body.

The conclusion of a psychiatrist is also mandatory. It can be obtained from a government health facility. The doctor will issue a conclusion only if the citizen is not registered with a psychoneurological dispensary and has no contraindications to driving a vehicle.

You should see a narcologist and psychiatrist only at the place of registration (temporary or permanent).

After passing through these specialists, you can begin processing a medical certificate in form 003-B/U, which is necessary to obtain or replace a driver’s license.

How long is the document valid?

The certificate received during the medical examination has a limited validity period. Starting from 2021, such a document is issued for no more than one year. It is within 12 months after the certificate is issued that it can be presented to the traffic police, even on the last day of validity. But, if an individual has certain types of chronic diseases, then a medical examination will have to be done once every six months.

Ask a Question

Despite the fact that the medical certificate is valid for a year, Russian citizens do not need to pass a commission every 12 months after receiving a driver’s license. The next time the document will have to be drawn up after the expiration of the rights, i.e. not earlier than in 10 years.

Important! An exception to the rules are Russian citizens who work as drivers and, as part of their duty, drive vehicles during their entire working time. They will have to undergo a medical examination every two years. And truck drivers need to be examined by doctors before each multi-day trip.

Fines for lack of a medical certificate from the driver

Only those people who have a special mark on their driver’s license obliging the owner of the vehicle to always carry this certificate with them need to carry a medical certificate with them at all times. Typically, this mark is placed if a person has any health problems that limit driving a car or motorcycle. If, when checking documents, it turns out that a car owner with health limitations does not have this certificate, then the driver will be charged a fine of five to fifteen thousand rubles.

Drivers who do not have such a mark do not need to carry a certificate with them and there are no fines for its absence.

Getting a driver's license today has become much easier than it was a few years ago. Although the number of doctors has decreased, this is not a reason to relax and not take care of your health. After all, a healthy driver is the key to safe driving.

Cost of document preparation

When planning to undergo examination by highly specialized doctors, an individual must be prepared for the fact that for the full range of activities to obtain a certificate, he will have to pay from 1,500 rubles to 3,000 rubles. The cost of services for each medical institution is calculated individually.

But, Russian citizens will have to pay for visiting doctors at such centers and dispensaries:

Psychoneurological.
Narcological.
Medical.

You will also have to pay the cost of laboratory testing of biological material. Before taking tests, an individual must contact the laboratory and familiarize themselves with the current tariffs.

As for the time that will have to be spent on undergoing examination by highly specialized doctors according to the list, if you take the process seriously, you can handle it in a day. The only thing that can delay the time for receiving a certificate may be waiting for test results. But today laboratories provide a service for accelerated testing of biological samples from patients. By paying for urgency, the future driver will be able to receive this document within a day.

New rules for obtaining a driver's license have been postponed to January 1, 2021

The procedure for obtaining a driver's medical certificate, which was supposed to change on July 1 of this year, will remain the same until January 1, 2021. This information was announced to the TASS agency by the press service of the Ministry of Health, clarifying that the corresponding order has already been signed and is currently undergoing the state registration procedure.

Let us remind you: initially they tried to change the process of passing the driver’s commission back in November last year. It was assumed that from the 22nd, tests for drugs and chronic alcoholism would become mandatory for everyone who would receive a license certificate .

Then the upcoming innovations provoked huge queues at drug dispensaries across the country : people wanted to get a certificate at the previous price, and not at the one that would already include the cost of tests.

The cost of a laboratory blood test for CDT (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, it is called a marker of chronic alcoholism) varies from region to region and starts somewhere from 3 thousand rubles .
Thus, the price of a medical certificate should have increased several times : from 500 to 5,000 rubles in the Primorsky Territory, from 800 to 3,600 rubles in Moscow, etc.

At the same time, despite people’s dissatisfaction and queues at drug dispensaries, the Ministry of Health did not abandon the new procedure for passing a driver’s examination until the last minute. And only on November 21, when less than a day remained before the order came into force, they announced that it was being postponed , and a little later they clarified that until July 1, 2020 .

What is noteworthy: the order that postponed the deadline was dated November 20, although on November 20, when drug dispensaries were crowded with queues, the postponement was not announced.

However, on the eve of July 1, the Ministry of Health nevertheless revised the proposed procedure and, in particular, decided to abandon mandatory alcoholism tests for everyone . The draft order, presented in early June, states that tests will only be carried out on the direction of a doctor if he detects relevant symptoms .

At the same time, a CDT test will also be optional : the doctor will choose the type of test at his own discretion.

At the same time, it is not entirely clear whether the mandatory test for psychoactive substances will be excluded. Since the draft order does not make any changes to this paragraph, it can be assumed that drug tests will still remain in force .
It was envisaged that they would take place in two stages. The first, which was to be made mandatory for everyone, was planned to be carried out using an express test (the cost of the strips starts from 400 rubles). And only if it gives a positive result, additional research will be prescribed in the laboratory using gas and/or liquid chromatography.

At the same time, during the discussion of the presented draft order, as TASS noted in the press service of the Ministry of Health, many additional proposals were received, “which also deserve attention, elaboration and consideration . In addition, they decided to give the regions time to implement the new driver commission procedure .

In this regard, the department again postpones the deadline for changes - to January 1, 2021 . It is possible that by the new year the rules for obtaining a medical certificate for drivers will once again be finalized.

For example, the most popular during the discussion was the proposal to abolish mandatory tests for drug content and carry them out only if a doctor detects the corresponding symptoms.

There are also opinions about the need to introduce mandatory tests for alcoholism, but not for everyone, but only for certain categories of drivers : those who were deprived of their license for driving while intoxicated, and those who receive a category D license (that is: planning work as a passenger carrier).

What information is contained in the help?

The medical document (unified form No. 831-n, refers to strict reporting forms, subject to registration in the appropriate accounting register) must contain the following information:

Full name of the individual who is applying for a driver's license.
Number and series of the form.
The stamp of the hospital institution where the citizen underwent a medical examination must be affixed in the upper left corner.
The driving category of the car enthusiast is emphasized.
The number of the license that the hospital has.
Date of issue of medical document.
A photograph of an individual is placed in the left corner of the form, at the bottom.
On the back of the document there are special columns that must be filled out by highly specialized doctors examining the patient.
The certificate is signed by the head of the commission and certified with the wet seal of the hospital institution.

Important! When filling out the unified form, typos, errors, and corrections are not allowed. If the doctor has entered inaccurate data into the form, it will be written off according to the report, and the individual will be issued a new document.

Driver's medical examination - what doctors are needed:

Conceptual apparatus

A driver's license is a document that allows its owner to drive a vehicle of a certain category.

A medical commission is a special medical commission that a potential driver must pass to obtain a driver's license. That is, he must undergo certain doctors in order for them to give an opinion on his suitability to drive a vehicle.

You can undergo such a commission both in a public medical institution and in a private one. The main condition is that the institution must have the appropriate license to carry out medical activities and provide medical services.

A certificate from doctors is the same component in the set of documents as a document indicating that the exam has been passed.

But, if the exam must be taken only when first obtaining a license, then doctors must also be taken when replacing a certificate for various reasons.
