Application for loss of a driver's license after deprivation: form and sample filling

Package of documents and procedure for renewing the certificate

First of all, it should be noted that early deprivation of rights is impossible only if we are not talking about a judicial petition. This is due to the fact that the traffic police does not have the right to issue a certificate, since there is a court ruling, and the court cannot cancel or ignore its own ruling. However, this should not be confused with those cases when, during court proceedings, the driver is found not guilty and his documents are returned to him.

In order for the license to be returned to the driver, the latter needs to collect a package of documents and submit it to the traffic police department to which the certificate was transferred for storage.

It is important that you can submit documents and write an application for the return of rights after deprivation only after the expiration of the period set by the court.

The package of documents includes the following:

• Application for return of a document.
• Application for forwarding the document if the driver lives in another city.
• A copy of the court order.
• A copy of the driver’s internal civil passport.
• A payment document confirming payment of the fine.

As a rule, the list of documents does not change, but just in case it is better to clarify the information with the traffic police department.

Responsibility for false data

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation contains information on penalties in case of failure to provide or untimely submission of the requested certificates, which are needed when calculating the amount of the fine for an administrative violation. The same applies to situations where a person provides false information.

The fine can reach 10–15 thousand rubles for individuals. In some cases, such an offense may be aggravated by other circumstances.

This concerns abuse of a dominant position (Article 14.31 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia), price manipulation, unfair competition, etc.

Separate penalties are provided for violators who knowingly provided false information when calculating fines, if such a fact was discovered after its appointment.

If it is discovered that the driver has a fake driver's license, he will face criminal liability.

Punishment is provided for all participants:

• for persons who forged a document;
• for persons who are engaged in the resale of such illegal documents;
• for the owner of the vehicle.

In addition to determining the punishment in accordance with the Criminal Code, there will be:

• a fine of up to 80 thousand or in the amount of the person’s salary for six months was imposed;
• an obligation to perform compulsory work within 480 hours has been established;
• a person is sent to correctional labor for 2 years;
• a citizen was arrested for 3–6 months.

To obtain a driver's document with which you can travel outside the country, you should strictly follow the recommendations given by legislators.

Pay special attention to writing an application for an international driver's license.

Indeed, in the event that a mistake is made in such a certificate, there is a risk that it will not be accepted by law enforcement officials. If the application is accepted by mistake, you will still not be given a license.

As a result, you will lose time, nerves and money. But this can be avoided if you study all the legal norms and rely on examples when preparing documentation.

Is a driver's license an identity document?

Responsibility for driving a vehicle without a driver's license according to the Code of Administrative Offenses is indicated on the page.

What documents are required to obtain a driver's license for the first time, see the list.

Submitting a driver's license to the traffic police

After the court has deprived the driver of his license, he is obliged to surrender the document . The law sets a certain period for this. It is three days and is calculated from the moment the court ruling comes into force. The basis for surrender of rights will be the application of the applicant.

Application structure

The application itself is drawn up in any form, since the mandatory template for use is not approved by law.
The application must indicate the following :

• Name of the authority to which the applicant applies.
• Information about the driver - full name, place of residence, contact phone number, passport details.
• Grounds for appeal. In this case it will be the surrender of rights. The series and number of the driver's license are indicated here.
• Grounds for deprivation of rights. It is necessary to indicate the number and date of the court order.
• List of attached documents.
• Date and signature of the applicant.

The application for passing the VU is drawn up in two copies . One is transferred to the traffic police authority where the person applied, the second remains with the applicant. The last document contains a note indicating the date of receipt of the application.

Where to go and what else is available for rent?

Where exactly you need to apply is determined by the court. This may be a subdivision of the State Traffic Inspectorate at the address of registration of the violator, or at the place where the protocol on violation of traffic rules was drawn up.

The application, along with all documents, can be sent by mail. The best way to do this is by registered mail with notification of delivery to the addressee. The letter must include a list of all sent documents.

In addition to the application, you will need to submit the certificate itself . It is also required to attach a copy of the court decision, with a note indicating that it has entered into force.

What comes after?

After the driver has handed over his license, he is not given any documents in his hands. As confirmation of the fact of delivery of the certificate, the second copy of the application for delivery is used, on which the number and date of receipt of the application are indicated.

The photo shows the mark on the application after handing over the license:

What happens if you do not comply with the court decision and what to do if the document is lost?

In practice, there are cases when violators evade their obligations to hand over their certificates. According to the rules of Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, if the certificate is not returned, the period of deprivation is interrupted . It is resumed only after fulfilling the obligation or receiving a driver’s request for loss of license.

Such an act may also entail administrative liability provided for in Part 2 of Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In this case, the violator expects:

• a fine in the amount of five to thirty thousand rubles;
• compulsory work from one hundred to two hundred hours;
• administrative arrest for up to fifteen days.

Sometimes a driver cannot hand over his license in a timely manner due to its absence, for example, in case of loss. In such situations, it is necessary to apply to the traffic police. An explanation will be taken from the person about the circumstances of the loss of the document. The specified material will be attached to the application for the certificate.

Why file a lost driver's license claim?

Contacting the traffic police with a statement of loss of license is required in order for the countdown of the period for which the driver is deprived of the right to drive transport to begin. The opinion of drivers who are faced with such a situation and have lost their license after deprivation of their license that they do not need to contact the traffic police is erroneous. The countdown will not begin until the driver does this. And if you hesitate, your license will gather dust in the traffic police for a long time.

There are several ways to submit your application. The easiest way is to do it yourself, by directly visiting the traffic police department, which is territorially tied to the court that issued the decision to deprive the driver of his driving privileges. The applicant must make two applications, since one copy must remain with him as insurance.

But first, at the time of delivery of the relevant package of documents to the traffic police official, the applicant must ask the receiving person to put the date and signature of acceptance of the documents. You must keep your copy of the application with marks until your driver’s license is received.

You can also submit your application by mail. Using this method, you should give preference to registered mail with return receipt to be sure of delivery of the letter to the addressee. All attachments must be described in order to prove in case of disputes that the documents were sent. When compiling an inventory and selecting registered mail with a notification, the applicant may not keep a copy for himself.

Before writing a statement about loss of rights, ask in whose name the document is being drawn up based on where exactly it will be submitted. Specify the title, surname, first name and patronymic of the head of the traffic police unit, as well as the full name of the authority that was responsible for executing the decision to deprive the driver of a driver’s license.

Theoretical exam

You can return a certificate that a person has been deprived of only after passing the exam. According to the RF PP dated November 14, 2014 N 1191, you can start passing after half the period of deprivation (you can find out more about when you can take the traffic rules theory exam again here).
It occurs in several stages.

First, you need to contact the traffic police authority where your license was passed and sign up for the exam. This can be done in person or through the State Services portal. The exam itself takes the form of testing. The list includes issues related to traffic rules.

Those deprived of their license are not tested for knowledge of the structure of the car and the rules of medical care. Eighteen out of twenty questions must be answered correctly. Then the exam will be passed. Twenty minutes are allotted for testing.

You can find out more about how to retake the exam at the traffic police after deprivation of your license here, and you can read more about the algorithm for passing the theoretical exam in this material.

How to submit an application?

An application for testing must be made in writing.

It states the following:

• The name of the traffic police authority and the details of its head.
• Information about the applicant - name, where he lives.
• Grounds for appeal.
• The application itself to take the exam.
• Date and signature.

The application is submitted to the traffic police in person or through the State Services portal.

Return of VU

After successfully passing the test, the interested person must apply for the return of the seized certificate.

The application is submitted the next day after the expiration of the deadline to the traffic police at the place of execution of the court order. If the driver wants to obtain a license in another department, then no later than 30 days before the end of the period, it is necessary to send a written or electronic request to the department in which the driver’s license is located, indicating the division of the State Traffic Inspectorate in which it is planned to obtain the license - part 6 of PP No. 1911.

Rules for filling out an application

There is no single standard form established by regulatory legal act. In fact, the appeal is drawn up in any form, taking into account the requirements of office work and official style. As a general rule, the document contains a “header” - in the right half of the sheet at the top. It indicates the name of the structure to which the application is sent for consideration (the exact name of the traffic police department). The line below indicates information about the applicant (full name, address of residence or registration, telephone number for contact).

Next, the name of the document is written in the middle and the reason for the request is formulated on a new line from the red line in free text. It is indicated that the driver’s license was no longer in the possession of the applicant due to loss or theft. You also need to enter a phrase stating that there was a deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a certain period and indicate the date from which this period began to be calculated.

How to write an application for the return of a driver’s license after deprivation: sample document

The period of deprivation of rights by court decision is counted from the moment the driver’s license plate is deposited with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate (Administrative Code Art. 32.6 clause 1, 32.7 clause 1). The documents are returned to the driver after the expiration of the sentence after passing the theoretical exam and paying off the fine (Administrative Code Art. 32.6, clause 4.1).

Acceptance and return of a driver's license is carried out on the basis of a written request from a citizen deprived of property rights.

Dear readers! Our articles talk about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique.

Submitting a driver's license after revocation

The certificate must be received by the Department of Internal Affairs for storage within 3 days after the court makes a decision and the expiration of the 10 days allowed for protest (Administrative Code Art. 32.7, clause 1.1.; 31.1 and 30.3). Otherwise, the course of the sentence will be interrupted for the entire period of evasion from submitting the document.

When transferring a driver's document to the ATS storage facility, the fact of acceptance of the license must have a basis (statement from the owner) and be confirmed by a receipt, but in practice, in most cases, confirmation is not issued.
For this reason, it is recommended to draw up an application for transfer in 2 copies , one of which should be kept with you.
There is no application template. The written form requirement must be met.

Contents of the statement:

1. The application is written to the head of the police department, authorized to accept the document in pursuance of the court order. In the header on the right, indicate the position and full name of the chief, as well as the full name and address (according to registration) of the deprived person.
2. The body of the application sets out the essence of the request (to accept the document for storage) and the basis (number of the decision, name of the judicial body and full name of the judge who signed the court decision). A reference to the legislation (Administrative Code Articles 36, 32.7), which prescribes parting with a driver’s license for the duration of the sentence, is welcome, but not required.
3. In the “attached documents” indicate the number of the driver’s license plate transferred to the storage facility.
4. Date of application and signature of the applicant with transcript.
5. An official note on acceptance of the certificate (date, signature with transcript), certified by a seal.

Loss of the driver's license

The loss of a driver's license is not a reason for deviating from the deprivation procedure algorithm : the punished citizen is obliged to notify the traffic police of the loss of the document that he was ordered to hand over.

Within 3 days calculated from the date of entry into force of the court decision, the driver’s license must be transferred for storage to the traffic police. Within the same period, the citizen must report the disappearance of the document if this happened (Administrative Code Art. 32.7, clause 1.1).

Failure to receive a driver's license deprived of the right to drive or a statement of loss within the specified period is regarded as evasion and is grounds for interrupting the course of punishment (Administrative Code Art. 32.7 clause 2).

There is no unified form. The application should be written down on paper and the authorship must be signed.

Contents of the statement:

1. In the header (upper right corner) the full name and title of the head of the traffic police are written down, to which the “crust” is transferred. Here the applicant introduces himself: full name, address and passport details.
2. The main part of the appeal contains a request to begin calculating the sentence without confiscation of the licence. Motivation: loss. Indication of the number of the court order on deprivation and details of the judge is required.
3. Date of writing and personal signature with transcript.

Based on the declared loss, the rights are canceled - it will not be possible to imitate the loss. The application is submitted to the Department of Internal Affairs, which is authorized by a court order to execute the seizure (Administrative Code Art. 32.5, 32.6).

Restoration of rights

A driver's document deposited with the traffic police by a court decision is returned upon expiration of the sentence on the same day upon request (PP No. 1191 on return rules 14/11/2014 clauses 5, 6; Code of Administrative Offenses art. 32.6 clause 4.1). At the same time , you can get your certificate at any branch of the Russian State Traffic Safety Inspectorate - regardless of where it was stored during the period of deprivation. You must write an application to redirect your ID.

Redirection

Contents of the statement:

1. The header indicates the name of the traffic police department to which the request for translation of documents is addressed, and the passport details of the applicant interested in redirecting the document.
2. The first paragraph of the text sets out the circumstances of the case (when and for how long the right to drive was deprived, the number of the court order).
3. The second paragraph of the text contains a request to redirect the certificate (number) to the traffic police (unit number and location); in this case, reference to PP No. 1191 clause 6 is required.

The application is signed personally and the date of application is indicated.

An application for redirection of a driver's license stored in the traffic police under a deprivation clause in pursuance of a court order is sent through the police department, where it is planned to receive documents upon expiration of the period. Typically, sending is carried out through interdepartmental communication channels.

How and when will it be returned?

Driving documents confiscated due to a temporary ban on driving a vehicle are returned to the owner after passing a theoretical exam on traffic rules and full repayment of the fine, which must have documentary evidence.

In case of deprivation for “drunk charges”, you will have to undergo an extraordinary medical examination by a psychiatrist and narcologist and attach a medical examination report (PP No. 1191; Code of Administrative Offenses, Article 32.6, paragraph 4).

• The driver's license is subject to immediate return if the citizen fulfills all the conditions and requirements of the law. The issuance of a temporary residence permit is carried out upon presentation of the passport of the citizen subjected to deprivation and his application for return.

What to write and where to submit?

The application is submitted to the traffic police at the place of storage of the certificate or to the police department at the place of redirection of the driver's license, if the request for redirection of the driver's license was made in advance.

Contents of the statement:

1. In the header (upper right corner) indicate the name of the State Traffic Inspectorate unit and passport details of the driver deprived of his license, including full name, residential address and contact information.
2. The body of the application sets out the background of the deprivation of rights (number of the decision and details of the court). Here they also mention the expiration of the period of deprivation and provide evidence of fulfillment of the conditions for the return of documents (examination sheet number, driver’s medical certificate number, medical examination number (if necessary) and confirmation of payment of fines).
3. Statement of the request (return of certificate No. of category X in the name of full name, issued by xxx). A reference to PP No. 1191 (on the return of the driver's license after deprivation) is required.
4. List of attached documents.
5. Number, signature (+ decoding).

The application must be accompanied by originals of the following documents:

It should be remembered that a driver’s license deposited with the traffic police must be requested to be returned within 3 years (Administrative Code Art. 32.6, clause 5). After this period, documents not claimed by the owners are subject to disposal.

Where to go: 3 options for submitting documents

Many people mistakenly believe that there is no need to rush to file an application for loss of rights due to deprivation, because anyway you can’t get behind the wheel yet. But it is very important to understand that the period of deprivation of rights begins to count from the moment you surrender the certificate or officially declare its loss.

For example, a driver was given a six-month license deprivation for a minor accident and leaving the scene of the accident, but he lost his license and only three months later reported this to the traffic police. You should not hope that the calculation of the term began automatically from the moment the punishment was awarded under the Code of Administrative Offenses, and after the remaining three months you will be able to get behind the wheel. No! You yourself, through your imprudent actions, increased the period of deprivation of rights from six to nine months.

Long hours of queues at the MREO were a real problem, creating favorable conditions for a corrupt way of resolving the issue. Legislators have provided an excellent way to distribute the flow of people - documents can be submitted in one of three ways.

This method has the obvious advantage of speed of service and the ability to fill out an application under the supervision of the employee receiving it. After the introduction of a unified electronic database, verification is carried out quickly, and if all documents are valid, a duplicate will be issued immediately upon application. Find the answer to the question of what to do to quickly restore your driver’s license if you lose it in the following step-by-step instructions:

• Prepare your identification document and receipt of payment of the state fee. You can fill out the application in advance or on the spot.
• Go to any convenient traffic police department. If you have not signed up for the electronic queue in advance, receive a coupon with your number at the terminal and wait for an appointment.
• When registering via the electronic queue, it is better not to be late, since registration will be canceled 30 minutes after the appointed time.
• After handing over the documents, the inspector will take some time to check, and if no violations are found, you will be asked to take a photo.

The traffic police website states that the official service time is 1 hour, after which you will receive a duplicate or new license. The disadvantage of direct application is the fact that if there are grounds for refusal, you will waste several hours of your life in vain.

An option for those who plan their time and money wisely. The application is submitted online, and the documents are checked before the visit to the State Traffic Inspectorate, which allows you not to waste time. Proceed as follows:

• Register an account on the State and Municipal Services Portal. It will come in handy many times when contacting other government agencies.
• On the main page, find the catalog of services, from where go to the “Transport and Driving” subsection.
• Find “Driver’s license” in the list and go to the service “replacement in case of loss, damage, theft or wear and tear”
• Fill out all the fields of the proposed form, select the MREO, where it will be convenient to pick up the finished document.
• Make an appointment for a free appointment on the day of your choice. After submitting the form, pay the State fee.
• On the specified date, go to the traffic police, where you will have to provide a receipt and identification, after which you will be issued a license.

If there are any deficiencies in the submitted documents, you will receive a refusal notice indicating the reasons for the negative decision. Once errors have been corrected, you have the right to resubmit your application.

The cost of the service does not depend on the region, amounting to 2000 rubles. when issuing a national plastic identification card and 1,600 rubles. upon receipt of international rights. Citizens who pay the fee through the State Services Portal receive a savings of 30%.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with: Voluntary collective insurance agreement

A suitable option for those who find it inconvenient to get to the MREO if the MFC is nearby. This year, Multifunctional Centers are included in the number of institutions that provide services for re-issuing driver’s licenses. This step allowed us to disperse the flow of requests and reduce the number of queues. If it so happens that your driver’s license is lost, the restoration procedure will be as follows:

• Visit any department of the MFC, where you give the inspector the entire package of documents (identity card, application, receipt).
• Your documents will be submitted to the State Traffic Inspectorate for review.
• After 2 days, you will be informed about the decision made and invited to come back to the MFC for photo engraving and issuance of a certificate.

In terms of time, this is not the fastest option. The entire procedure will take 2 days, during which you will have to visit the Multifunctional Center twice.

Main characteristics

If you are reading this article, then most likely you are in a bad mood. Therefore, without further ado and unnecessary words of encouragement, which you most likely don’t need right now, let’s begin to consider the question of how to surrender your license after deprivation.

It is worth recalling that since September 1, 2013, traffic police officers do not confiscate your rights, and do not even have the right to deprive you of your rights. Everything happens according to a court decision. The traffic police will give you a summons to court, which will indicate the date and time of consideration of your offense. If the judge makes a decision to deprive the driver of his license, then, in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offences, the driver must independently surrender his license to the traffic police within three days (from the date of the decision). Many people have reasonable questions: how to surrender your license after deprivation? Just come to the traffic police and give them to someone? As in many other cases, it is necessary to write an application to the traffic police to surrender your license. This is what we will help you with in this article.

You will need to fill it out in two copies and, when submitting it to the traffic police, require a receipt stamp on one of them. This will be your proof that you passed your license on a specific day at a specific department.

Initial data

So, an application for a driver’s license that would be relevant outside of Russia is a certificate that should be drawn up as necessary.

To obtain an international certificate you do not need to retake the exams. Remember also that such a document will be invalid in the Russian Federation. But this is a travel card in many countries.

An international driver's license is an additional document to a Russian license; no one has the right to confiscate it, since it is not an independent document.

An IDP, simply put, is a translation of your ID into a foreign language with clear explanations about the permitted category.

The distinctive features of the international driving document are a book with a gray cover, A6 format. Traffic police fines? So it is quite difficult to confuse it with other documents.

The license will be issued in accordance with the rules specified in the Instructions for issuing a national driving document. The validity period of the received certificate is 3 years, but not longer than the validity period of the Russian license.

For example, if the normal rights expire after a year, then the international rights will also be considered invalid. You will need to obtain both documents again.

Before you start collecting certificates for a driver’s license that will be valid abroad, make sure that your simple license will still be valid for at least six months.

Authorized bodies keep records of issued international certificates in separate registers. Issue is carried out after the citizen signs in the register or in the application form when filling out the certificate automatically.

The national document allowing to drive vehicles will not be withdrawn.

When writing an application you will need:

• passport details;
• information about a medical certificate that is still valid (it was issued to you when you received your national document);

If the medical certificate has expired, you will have to undergo a medical examination again. The medical examination is carried out according to general rules.

• information about the authorized body of the Russian Federation to which the package of documents is submitted. You can contact the nearest branch.

Where you can change your driver's license is described in the article: where you can change your driver's license.
