Pass the theory to the traffic police after deprivation

How to get a license after deprivation: is a retake necessary?

One of the most common reasons for contacting the traffic police is the procedure for restoring rights after their deprivation. How and where to renew your driver’s license, what documents are needed, and whether re-testing is necessary, read the article.

You can lose your driver's license not only for dangerous traffic violations or for driving under the influence of alcohol. Also, such “little things” (in the driver’s opinion) as:

• over speed;
• going into oncoming traffic;
• driving through a red traffic light;
• driving a vehicle with unregistered license plates;
• a vehicle with prohibited signals;
• Malicious “evaders” from paying alimony may lose their driving license even without violating traffic rules.

Ignorance of the nuances of the law does not exempt from responsibility, which is why tens of thousands of cases of deprivation of driver’s licenses are registered in the Russian Federation every year.

Obtaining a license after seizure is one of the most common reasons for contacting the traffic police

The process of returning a driver's license after deprivation is quite complex and lengthy. Based on the court decision, it may happen that you will not only have to pay fines, but also work from 100 to 200 hours in community service.

If the court makes a decision to confiscate the license, the driver can appeal the verdict within ten days.

Was the decision not appealed? This means that within 3 days, submit the document to the traffic police department. Driving with a “suspended” license risks imprisonment for at least fifteen days.

Do I need to take an exam after deprivation?

The stereotype “if your license is revoked, a re-examination is required” is erroneous. The theoretical exam on knowledge of traffic rules is not taken in case of deprivation of driving license:

• according to medical indications;
• upon expiration of the validity period.

In the first case, it is enough to undergo a medical examination and receive a certificate stating that there are no contraindications to driving. In the second case, you will have to replace your driver’s license in accordance with current legislation.

In what cases do you retake the exam for a higher education institution?

Repeated testing - answers to 20 questions on knowledge of traffic rules - is mandatory if the driver’s license was confiscated for:

• driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs;
• repeatedly exceeding the speed limit by 60 km/h or more;
• repeated driving across railroad tracks in the wrong place;
• repeated driving through a prohibitory traffic light or through a lowering barrier;
• driving into the oncoming lane, which led to an emergency;
• refusal of a medical examination in case of a positive test for alcohol/drugs.

In the VU test you need to answer 18 out of 20 questions

Reasonably, a person who has violated the rules 2-3 times is likely to violate them more than once in the future. Re-examination is carried out in order to find out what is causing the violations - ignorance of the theory or the human factor (unwillingness to follow the rules).

Where do you retake the theory after deprivation?

Exams for obtaining a license after deprivation, as well as when obtaining a driving license, are first taken at the traffic police department at the place of execution (in the department where the seized certificate is stored). All tests are free, but there is a condition - the offender is allowed to take them after paying all fines imposed by the court.

When can you take the exam after deprivation?

The test can be taken after half the period for which the driver is deprived of his license. The duration of the punishment is determined by the court. To the period of deprivation it is necessary to add 10 days, which are given for appeal.

The countdown begins from the moment you hand over your license to the traffic police and receive a receipt for the seizure. If the driving license has not been submitted within three days, legal authorities may extend the period of deprivation of rights.

Scheme for obtaining rights after deprivation

To avoid getting confused in the nuances of returning rights, follow simple rules:

1. Wait for the period of deprivation of rights. The countdown begins from the moment the driving license is handed over to the traffic police department and a receipt for seizure is received.
2. Contact the department where the seized rights are stored with the necessary package of documents.
3. If the deprivation was imposed as a punishment, and not for medical reasons, take a retest for your knowledge of traffic rules on the appointed retake day.
4. If you pass the exam, collect your certificate from the administrator within the specified time frame.

Repeated violations and deprivation of rights may result in less loyal “working out.”

The punishment for systematic unsafe situations on the road is not only a fine of up to 30,000 rubles, but also arrest for up to two years.

Do I need a medical certificate to retake my license?

According to current legislation, a medical examination when obtaining a license after deprivation is mandatory only for persons who have lost their license:

• for violations related to drunk driving;
• for driving with contraindications due to health reasons (for example, without glasses with poor vision), which led to a violation of traffic rules;
• for suspected or proven driving under the influence of drugs.

For other “disenfranchised” persons, having a medical certificate is not necessary if the previous one has not expired.

Let us remind you that the license certificate is valid for 1 year.

Do I need to retake the traffic rules after my license has been revoked for drunkenness?

Driving under the influence of alcohol is the most common cause of accidents. Retaking the theory when deprived of a driving license and drinking is mandatory. In case of repeated violation, tougher measures may be imposed, including arrest for a period of 24 months.

How many times can you retake your license?

You can retake the theory endlessly. The law does not limit the capabilities of drivers, but it does introduce some limits on re-examination. So, if the test was “failed” on the first attempt, you can repeat it in a week. The same interval between the second and third attempts. If you fail to pass the traffic rules the third time, a new attempt will be scheduled in a month.

There is no fine for “late” re-exams.

There is no time limit for passing the exam. There is no penalty for “delay” in taking the retest. But the confiscated license is stored in the traffic police for only 3 years. If the re-examination is not passed within this time interval, the VA will be destroyed and will have to be restored.

Obtaining a driver's license after deprivation - step-by-step instructions

The rules for obtaining a driver's license after deprivation are regulated by Government Decree No. 1097, paragraph 3. If half of the sentence has passed, the offender has the right to confirm his driving qualifications. This requires two steps.

Contacting the traffic police

It is not possible to register online at the traffic police department; Internet portals do not provide such a service. Therefore, it is necessary to personally appear at the department’s department and get to a specialist in an electronic queue (using coupons).

The department will ask you to fill out an application form for issuing a driver's license after deprivation. Based on the application, a date for retaking the theory will be set.

An example of a completed application form for the return of rights

Passing the exam to obtain a license

On the appointed day, you must come to the MREO unit of the State Road Safety Inspectorate. To confirm your identity, you need to present your original passport to the registrar, and then go to the office and take a test on your knowledge of traffic rules.

What is needed to retake the traffic rules in case of deprivation?

Before retaking the theory, it is important to remember that there will be nothing super difficult in the test. The usual 20 questions from traffic rules. To pass, correct answers to 18 points are enough.

Exam preparation

Before the retake, the administrator on duty will check the information about the examinee against the database. The registrar is required to instruct the person taking the test about the features and timing of the exam. Even if the driver passes them for the 10th time.

Preparation takes 15-2 minutes. Then, information about the examinee and the ticket number are displayed on the automated workstation. You can complete tasks that take 20 minutes. The result is entered into the database automatically.

What documents will be required when taking the exam?

When contacting the traffic police to renew your driver's license, you must have with you:

• court statement;
• identification document;
• medical certificate confirming access to driving.

If at the time of application there were unpaid fines, it is better to take receipts of their payment with you.

How to pass the traffic police exam after revocation of your driver's license

Recent changes in Russian legislation have significantly complicated the process of returning a driver's license. According to the new resolution, in order to regain the right to drive a vehicle, motorists are now required to pass a theoretical exam at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. Only if you successfully pass the exam can your seized driver's license be returned. Moreover, all drivers must undergo this procedure, regardless of the reason and period of deprivation of the license.

What needs to be done to return rights?

To return a driver's license, the motorist must prepare a number of documents, such as a passport, a copy of the act of surrendering the license to one of the traffic police departments, a copy of the court decision, and a medical certificate. In addition, the return of the license is carried out only after the driver has paid all existing fines. After this, the motorist must prepare to test his theoretical knowledge of traffic rules in one of the examination departments of the traffic police. To do this, you must first write an application for the return of your driver's license. By the way, drivers have the opportunity to take an exam after half the sentence has expired. Thus, the algorithm of actions to return rights consists of the following points:

1. Submitting a package of necessary documents.
2. Writing an application to the traffic police.
3. Payment of all existing fines.
4. Passing the theoretical exam.
5. Restoration of rights.

The theoretical exam to restore a driver’s license can be taken at any specialized traffic police department. At the same time, motorists will not have to take the practical part of the exam. To pass the exam, you will need not only an application, but also registration in the electronic queue on the public services portal. To successfully pass the theory, a motorist must make no more than two mistakes when answering 20 questions. Drivers are given 20 minutes to do this.

Features of the traffic police exam

Motorists deprived of a driver's license have no restrictions on the number of attempts to pass the theory. However, you can only get admission to a repeat exam 7 days after the previous attempt. Passing the theory for drivers whose licenses were withdrawn as a result of violating traffic rules differs from a similar procedure for driving school graduates. The main features of the theoretical exam can be considered:

• No questions about first aid and vehicle installation (only questions about traffic rules);
• No need to pay state duty;
• Exam tickets are divided into categories AB and CD (if category A license has been withdrawn, you will have to take the AB exam, if C, then CD);
• Re-taking theoretical knowledge of traffic rules is free of charge.

If the driver successfully passes the theoretical part of the exam, after a few days he will be able to pick up his previously confiscated documents. It is worth noting that this can only be done in the traffic police department in which they were handed over. If the driver's documents were seized in a city in which the motorist does not live, then he should contact the department at the place of registration. Employees of this unit must submit a request to the traffic police department, which currently holds the corresponding driver's license. Within a few days, the documents must be sent to the traffic police department at the place of registration of the driver.

A motorist can do the opposite. He can apply for reassignment to the department where his documents are stored. The application must indicate the department to which the driver's license should be sent. The application can be submitted by the motorist personally or through a stranger. You can also use registered mail to submit your application.

What to do after receiving your license?

After receiving your driver's documents, be sure to check their authenticity. To do this, you should use the official service of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Russian Federation. On the State Traffic Inspectorate website you need to enter the series and number of the license, the date of issue and the captcha. If the certificate is genuine, the driver will see information about his date of birth, category of rights and validity period of the document. Otherwise, a message will appear stating that the identity was not found in the database. A message indicating that your driver's license has been revoked may also appear. This may mean that the information in the database has not yet been updated and the motorist should try again in a few days. It should also be emphasized that the confiscated rights must be withdrawn within 3 years after the punishment was committed. Otherwise, the driver's license will be destroyed. Accordingly, it will be impossible to restore this license and the driver will have to go through the entire training course again.

Conclusion

Thus, in order to return a driver’s license after deprivation, a citizen will have to pass a theoretical exam at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate on knowledge of traffic rules. To do this the first time, all motorists who have been deprived of their license are advised to familiarize themselves with the regulations and traffic rules, since changes and additions are often made to them.

Retaking the exam after deprivation of rights and their return

Deprivation of rights is the most severe form of punishment for a driver, used for gross violations of traffic rules. The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the restoration of the right to drive a car.

In what cases is it necessary to retake your license after deprivation?

In the Russian Federation, persons who do not comply with the Road Traffic Rules (TRAF) bear administrative liability in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses and criminal liability under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The type of liability determines the severity of the driver’s offense, recorded by representatives of special authorities.

According to clause 4.1. Article 32.6. Of the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO), any person who has been deprived of a driver’s license for any reason, regardless of whether an administrative or criminal violation was committed, is required to confirm knowledge of the theoretical part of traffic rules in the form of an exam.

On a note! The list of offenses in accordance with which rights are withdrawn is established in Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

How to pass the traffic police exam after deprivation?

The process of retaking the exam takes place on the basis of clause 3 of the Rules for issuing driver’s licenses of Government Decree N 1097 “On access to driving vehicles”. Since this regulatory document establishes the rules regarding obtaining a license in a general manner, in this situation we are guided by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs N 995, which describes the Administrative Regulations for conducting exams and issuing driver’s licenses.

There are the following steps that need to be taken into account when restoring the right to drive a car:

1. Contacting the traffic police in person (without online registration).
2. Preparation for delivery. At the appointed time, the driver must come to the registration and examination department of the traffic police, bringing the original passport or other document that confirms his identity. The inspector is required to accept the documents and indicate the location of the test. The actual preparation takes no longer than 20 minutes, during which the person responsible for testing gives instructions to the driver and establishes his identity. At the beginning of the procedure, information about the examined person who has arrived and the number of the set of tickets are displayed.
3. Exam. An exam is a test consisting of questions of a theoretical nature, on a computer equipped with special software. If a faulty state of the device is detected after the start of the exam, the result is not counted and the process is repeated. The test lasts 20 minutes and contains 20 tasks, divided into 4 blocks, each of which includes 1 question on each of 5 topics: traffic rules, ensuring road safety by traffic police officers and the proper condition of the vehicle, Russian legislation used in road traffic, the basics of safe driving, providing first aid to victims of a traffic accident. Each question offers 2-5 answer options. The test taker can make a mistake in 1 block only once, and the number of erroneous answers per test cannot exceed 2. If an error is made, an additional section of 5 questions is offered for the solution and an additional 5 minutes are given.
4. Results. After the procedure time has expired, information about the points received appears on the computer, according to which the examination protocol and examination sheet are filled out. The examinee is familiarized with these documents against signature. If the driver passes the test, the information is entered into the Traffic Inspectorate database. In the opposite situation, you need to find out the date and time of the re-exam and take it all over again.

When and where can I take the exam?

Retaking the theoretical test is possible from the moment when half the time for which the certificate was issued has passed. To calculate the occurrence of this moment, the driver must be aware of the duration of the deprivation and the exact moment when it begins. The traffic police website contains a section containing such information.

Based on Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the duration of the withdrawal of rights begins to be counted 10 days after the date of issue of the decision or court conclusion, if the driver’s license was handed over within 3 days. When this interval is not observed, the countdown begins from the day when the rights were nevertheless transferred to the offenders.

Important! If the exam was successfully passed in advance, this does not mean that the certificate will be returned before the end of the punishment. The law does not provide for the return of rights ahead of schedule.

The driver is allowed to take an exam at the Traffic Inspectorate unit in which the license is located after withdrawal, in accordance with clause 2 of Government Decree N 1191 of the Russian Federation, which approves the Rules for the return of a driver’s license. The addresses of departments dealing with such requests can be found on the official website of the Traffic Inspectorate. You can also check the opening hours of the branches using this link.

To return the rights of punished persons after the expiration of the period of deprivation, it is necessary to submit an application in writing one month before the return to the required division of the Traffic Inspectorate.

What is needed to retake the traffic rules?

To pass the re-exam, the driver must come to the examination department of the Traffic Inspectorate only with the appropriate application and identification card. As an additional precaution in case of interruptions in the operation of electronic databases, you can take with you documentary evidence of the start date of the duration of the punishment.

You also need to pay off all existing debts. Despite the fact that persons who come to apply for a test are not required to have no fines for violations of the Traffic Rules, unlike the situation with obtaining a certificate, it is more advisable to pay in advance, since it is possible to impose an additional penalty due to failure to pay on time (70 days after the relevant resolution comes into force).

When a driver's license is confiscated due to drunk driving, the offender is required to provide a medical certificate of the established form, which must be received no later than a month before the application.

Registration for the exam

At the moment, the State Services website does not allow drivers who have been deprived of their licenses to sign up for a retake of the traffic rules exam, so you need to appear in person at the Traffic Inspectorate office. In most cases, appointments are carried out in compliance with an electronic queue, using coupons.

You need to receive a form and, having chosen the most convenient date and time for the exam from those offered, fill out an application for passing it, and then give the form to the department employee. It is also possible to download and fill out the form yourself before arriving at the unit. An example of a completed application can be downloaded from the link.

After the department employee accepts the documents and checks the information, the applicant will receive information about the date and time of the exam.

How many times can you retake your license?

When retaking, it does not matter how many times the guilty person tries to pass the exam, but with one condition: the interval between retakes must be at least 7 days. This period was determined by Government Decree No. 1191, which regulates the Rules for the return of a driver’s license.

Retake cost

In accordance with existing legislation, passing the exam is free of charge, and there is no dependence on the reason for retaking it.

Important! If the driver does not pick up the driver’s license within 3 years from the documented day, it is subject to destruction, which means the subsequent restoration of rights if the person expresses a desire to resume driving the vehicle.

This procedure requires payment of a state fee for issuing a driver’s license in the amount of 2 thousand rubles.

Actions after a successful retake

After the driver has received the results and is convinced that he has successfully passed the test, after the expiration of the established punishment period, in order to obtain a driver’s license, he must, within 3 years, bring the following documents to the traffic police department where his license is located:

• medical certificate of the established form;
• application for return of rights;
• identification document.

Information about successful completion is stored in the traffic police database in electronic form, so no document confirming the fact of passing the test is required.

In cases where the deprivation of a driver’s license did not occur at the place of registration or residence, there is no need to personally come to the traffic police department where the license was seized. 30 days before the end of the punishment, it is possible to submit an application to this department reflecting a request to redirect the driver’s license to a department of the Traffic Inspectorate convenient for the applicant. The application can be submitted in person, through a proxy or by registered letter.

Is it possible to take a re-examination without registration?

Just as when obtaining a license at the place of registration from a traffic police department located in another city, you can retake the traffic rules exam and obtain a license not at the place of registration, if 30 days before the end of the punishment you send a corresponding application for redirecting your license to a convenient division of the Traffic Inspectorate.

Important! It is necessary to take into account the fact that traffic police officers use the services of the Russian Post when sending driver’s licenses. This procedure can take from one to three weeks, so it is more advisable to send the application immediately after the court decision on deprivation.

When taking the test, you must have an identification document with you.

Finally

So, after depriving a driver of his license, he must in any case retake the theory of traffic rules. This procedure does not require payment and the number of retakes is not limited. It can also be taken both at your place of registration and in other cities.

How to retake your license after deprivation

Testing knowledge of traffic rules is carried out according to the same procedure that is in force for obtaining rights and was put into force by Government Decree No. 1097 dated October 24, 2014 . The current rules provide for a similar test of theoretical knowledge after deprivation of a driver's license. The exam is carried out in the departments of the State Traffic Inspectorate. It should be understood that retaking traffic rules after deprivation of rights for drunkenness is regulated by the same criteria for everyone. The explanatory documents did not provide any special instructions regarding this category of persons.

You must apply to the authorities no later than one month after the end of the imposed sentence.

What documents are needed to retake the traffic rules after deprivation?

To be admitted to the theoretical exam, you should contact the selected traffic police department. Decree No. 1097 of October 24, 2014, paragraph 18 , specifies what documents are needed to submit traffic regulations after deprivation of rights. The list includes:

1. Statement.

1. Passport or other identification document .
2. Conclusion of medical personnel (for those who are punished for driving a vehicle while intoxicated).

The application is submitted in advance, and the originals of other documents are presented to the State Traffic Inspectorate employees immediately before the exam.

How much does it cost to retake traffic rules for a license after deprivation in 2019?

The procedure for returning a driver's license is determined by the rules introduced by Government Decree No. 1191 dated November 14, 2014 . In 2019, the cost of passing the traffic police exam after deprivation of rights is determined by this regulatory act. The above rules do not provide for fees for testing knowledge of traffic rules.

At the same time, in accordance with paragraph 43 of Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a state duty is charged for the return of a driver’s license. The document states:

for the issuance of a national driver’s license, a tractor operator’s (tractor driver’s) license, a temporary license for the right to drive self-propelled vehicles...

The amount of the state fee is also taken into account without fail when it is determined in total how much it will cost to retake the theory to return the rights. Currently, you need to pay 500 rubles 2,000 rubles for a plastic one .

How to get a license through State Services after deprivation and whether you need to take an exam at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate

Today, a driver’s license can be taken away both for gross violation of traffic rules and for drunkenness or drug use while driving. In each specific case, the return of the temporary residence permit will have minor differences. The topic of today's article will be a detailed analysis of how to get a license after deprivation, the procedure for passing the exam at the traffic police and who needs a medical certificate to retake. Separately, I would like to note that it costs nothing for motorists to get back on the road - there is no state duty.

The procedure for obtaining a license after deprivation and exams

They only take the theoretical part. The exam for the return of rights is held in the senior category. For example, if you have categories ABC open, then you need to take tickets of category C. You can sign up for a retake after deprivation in advance, but not earlier than half the period from the moment of deprivation. The countdown is calculated from the date of delivery of the driving license to the State Traffic Inspectorate.

A retake is a completely natural move, since the inspector is deprived of his duties for serious violations. Agree, if a student came to the exam after drinking, the examiner would not even test his knowledge, let alone issue a license. Accordingly, the person who has committed illegal actions must prove his worth by refuting illiteracy within the framework of knowledge of traffic rules.

The procedure for obtaining rights after deprivation has the following structure:

1. The driver submits his license to the State Traffic Inspectorate. 10 days after the judge’s decision, the decree comes into force and the deprived person must submit the VA within 3 days.
2. The citizen waits for the minimum time from which he can take the exam - the middle of the term.
3. Register for the exam through State Services.
4. On the chosen day, he comes to the traffic police department to take the exam.
5. The inspector checks the documents (medical certificate, if necessary, and passport) and sends you for a retake. There is no need to pay state duty.
6. The deprived person sits down at the computer and decides the ticket. Today you can make a maximum of 2 mistakes out of 20 questions. For one wrong answer, you additionally need to solve 5 questions without errors, for two - ten. If the additional questions are answered incorrectly, the exam will not be passed. You can come back for a retake no earlier than 7 days after an unsuccessful attempt.
7. If the theory is passed, we wait for the expiration of the period of deprivation and sign up again to obtain a license at the State Services.
8. On the selected day we receive the TC.

The algorithm of actions is quite simple, but often causes difficulties for unlucky motorists.

Do you need a medical certificate from the traffic police?

If the deprivation of rights occurred under articles part 1 12.8, part 1 12.26 and part 3 12.27, a medical certificate is required. This provision is fixed in the government decree of October 12, 2018 (on amendments to the rules for returning a driver’s license after the loss of the grounds for the right to drive a vehicle). These articles relate to drinking, drug and alcohol intoxication while driving, refusal to undergo a medical examination at the time of deprivation, and drinking alcohol after stopping the vehicle.

If the deprivation took place under other circumstances, a medical certificate is not needed to return the rights.

If your license was revoked for alcohol, go through a medical examination before taking the exams, but remember that it is valid for 1 year.

Documents for obtaining a driver's license after deprivation

To obtain your license you will need the following set of documents:

• statement;
• passport;
• a certificate of a driver’s license submitted to the traffic police;
• court decision on deprivation (copy);
• certificate in form 003-В/У (if relevant in your situation);

In general, all science. Not many drivers have a guardian angel behind them, protecting them from the vigilant inspector, rubbing his palms in anticipation of neutralizing a particularly dangerous criminal and depriving him of his driving license, making him a pedestrian. Everyone must respect the letter of the law, but I hope that these instructions helped to regain your rights, and now you have a clear understanding of what to do after deprivation.
