A small card, which most often you simply don’t notice and you carry out of habit in a purse or in “shirts” with documents for the car, rarely takes the driver’s attention. As long as she is in place. In the event of a loss or theft of a driver’s license, its restoration will add to your trouble, so it’s better to immediately understand the procedure for yourself.
Instruction manual
1
Gather all the necessary documents. Find the driver's test card with which you were released from the driving school. If you have been trained individually, it is not required. Prepare a driver’s medical certificate (it is valid for three years) or go through the medical examination again. Bring an identity document with you. These include: passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation; foreign passport - for persons permanently residing outside of Russia; passport of an officer (ensign, midshipman); military card - for citizens who are in military service on conscription or on a contract basis. Going to MREU not at the place of permanent residence, but to the place where you actually live, bring along a certificate of registration at the place of stay.
2
Present a receipt of payment of state fees. For the certificate in the form of a plastic card you will have to pay 800 rubles, in the form of laminated paper of a larger format - 400 rubles. The manufacture of temporary rights for a period of 2 months, which you can ride while you do a permanent certificate, costs 500 rubles. If you ask to replace the rights due to physical damage to the document (washed, broken, accidentally cut), present everything that remains of the certificate. So your application will be considered faster.
3
Write to the MREU the traffic police a statement on the issuance of a new driver’s license in return for a lost (stolen) or worn out one. Your request will be considered within two weeks, and a maximum of two months will be given new rights (which will be distinguished from the old ones only by the mark "DUPLICATE"). Temporary permission will need to be passed.
note
Writing a statement about the theft of guaranteed rights adds trouble to drivers and rarely leads to their discovery by law enforcement agencies. But if a passport is also stolen along with a driver’s license, it’s simply necessary to contact the police - a couple of these documents are enough for attackers, for example, to get a loan in your name.
Useful advice
To produce a driver’s license in the form of a plastic card, you do not need to provide a picture of the documents - you will be photographed on the spot.
