In 2020, Russians are expecting more innovations in the field of replacing important documents. It is possible to obtain a driver's license after the expiry date specified in it or after the expiry of the period of deprivation of the driver's license, who committed certain violations, if you have a medical certificate.

Its price, under an unfavorable set of circumstances, may turn out to be significant for an ordinary citizen. The news in the media presents this message ambiguously.

Briefly about ongoing innovations

The new medical certificate will differ from the one issued earlier, the sample of which was approved by the Ministry of Health just four years ago. It is assumed that the price of such a document will rise significantly due to measures taken by the Government to ensure the safety of pedestrians and drivers.

Recently more frequent accidents with the participation of drivers driving a vehicle while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs forced to introduce radical measures unpopular among motorists.

In 2020 (previously it was assumed that the new decree would come into effect on January 1 of the coming year), a medical certificate will be required to replace a driver's license, in the points and registration of which some changes will be made.

Discontent and complaints from the ordinary population attracted the attention of the President of the Russian Federation, who ordered the introduction of these innovations in stages, from July 1, 2020.

The essence of the changes in the medical certificate, in some cases mandatory for presentation to the traffic police, is as follows:

• medical form 003-B / y is now issued upon passing the commission, the work data of which is recorded in a special column;
• the driver no longer needs to receive separate signatures of narrow specialists - ENT, neurologist, ophthalmologist, etc.;
• the issuance of a medical form is now accompanied by a consultation-examination with a narcologist and a psychiatrist, its results will be confirmed by a special certificate from specialized specialists;
• the photo of the driver and the indication of the validity period have been canceled on the reference document;
• a list of categories of vehicles that can be driven by a driver examined by doctors has been added to it;
• a list of diseases identified during the inspection appeared (if they can pose a potential danger when driving a vehicle for the driver and other road users;

The latest news of 2020 about the document required to replace the driver's license, informs that now not the place of residence, but the place of registration will be indicated, its format will change, special signs (printing and water) will appear and all information will be indicated only on one side of the official form (in contrast to the previous one, where the necessary information back in 2019 occupied a sheet on both sides.

When do you need a document

In 2020, to replace a driver's license, a new sample of a medical form will not be required in all cases. If a driver's license is lost or stolen, you can get a new document without a medical certificate and even without paying a monetary penalty. Upon expiration of the license to drive a vehicle, a fine is provided.

It will be possible to pay for driving with expired license from 5 thousand rubles. up to 15 thousand rubles. The amount of the fine depends on the initial or repeated violation, the person driving the vehicle, its category and status.

In 2020, a medical certificate is not required to replace a driver's license if the driver has changed his surname. In this case, the rights are issued with the period remaining on the old document. But if a document from doctors of a new type is provided, the rights will be calculated for a ten-year duration.

When replacing with a new document at the request of the applicant, the presence of a medical certificate means a new period of validity of the driver's license. If it is not provided, then the period remains the same as it was in the old certificate.

The latest news about the issuance of new documents to vehicle drivers after the onset of 2020 suggests that if a document is lost (become unusable, damaged under extreme circumstances, stolen), you can get a new one, for a period of 10 years, without a medical certificate. In other cases, to replace a driver's license with an updated one with the remaining validity of the old one, it will not be required, but to obtain another one with a 10-year validity period, you will have to go through a medical examination.

For those who have never experienced this procedure before, you need to know where to get it and how. You should contact the polyclinic at the place of registration to the district or the doctor who deals with this. They issue a referral for tests in the laboratory (blood and urine) and a bypass sheet for the passage of narrow specialists.

Roughly, the cost of services will rise in price, since blood and urine tests are now specific - for SDT, allowing to identify bad habits - the use of alcohol and drugs. This is not only Russian practice - it is accepted in many countries of the world.

But where to get a conclusion from a psychiatrist and a narcologist, they will prompt you on the spot or you will need to independently contact a medical special institution. Obtaining a certificate will rise in price due to the services of narrow specialists and a blood test carried out for their purpose (only a blood test costs 2,000 rubles. Compared to the current cost of a medical certificate (about 1,600 rubles), the latest news of 2020 will be in an estimated increase of 3-5 once.
