In which cases is it necessary to exchange rights and how to go through this procedure without problems.

Sooner or later, each driver faces the need to exchange rights for a new sample. Different situations in which this procedure is necessary - several. First of all, this is the end of the validity period of your driving license. Usually from the moment it is received to the replacement it should take ten years. This period of time is established by the state in the same way as the time for replacement of the Russian passport .

Exchange of rights is a standard procedure that should not frighten you or confuse you. With proper preparation, collection of all necessary documents and the absence of unpaid fines, it will not take much time.

Exchange of driver's licenses will also be required if damaged. Your favorite pet is happy to chew your documents? You forgot the rights in your jeans pocket, and your beloved girl put them in the washing machine with the rest of the dirty laundry? Have you noticed strange marks on the driver's license? It is not so important under what circumstances this important document was damaged. The main thing is that you will have to exchange rights.

Another reason for the change of documents is the replacement of the surname as a result of marriage or divorce. Although in this case, no one can force you to change the WU. Until the expiration date of the given ВУ, you will calmly manage the car, using the rights with an old surname.

It's not a secret for anyone that standing in big queues and communicating with officials is a lot of trouble and little pleasure. Therefore, you can take care of your comfort only yourself.

To get started, find out the schedule of the necessary traffic police department. Visit it in advance or get advice by phone to clarify the time and days of admission on this issue. Check the validity of the driver's license. Probably, it is necessary to pass or take place inspection in an out-patient department. With an expired medical certificate , you will not be able to change your rights . Be sure to pay in advance the state fee and make photocopies of all necessary documents. You may need to bring a photo size of 3x4 centimeters.
