On the procedure for issuing certificates and medical reports by medical organizations

All drivers sooner or later face the task of obtaining a medical certificate. A medical certificate for a driver's license is a mandatory document, without which it is impossible to obtain or renew a driver's license, with the exception of certain cases. Based on a medical certificate, a conclusion is made about whether a particular citizen can be allowed to drive a car. To get a document, you need to undergo a medical examination, but let's talk about everything in order.

Medical certificate for driver's license

A medical certificate for a driver’s license is a conclusion about the absence or, conversely, the presence of contraindications for driving a vehicle. Otherwise it is called Form No. 003-В/у.

To obtain a medical certificate for a driver's license, you must undergo a medical examination and pass the necessary tests. The survey institution must have a license to issue the document, otherwise it will be invalid, and the organization that issued it will bear administrative and, in some cases, criminal liability for this. The driver himself may also be held liable. The availability of a license can be checked on the official website of the medical institution.

The medical certificate is filled out by the therapist. It can be handwritten or printed on a computer - it doesn’t matter.

Obtaining a medical certificate is relevant in the following cases:

when a citizen is studying at a driving school and is going to get a driver’s license;
when does the driver's license expire?
upon receipt of a new driving category;
after deprivation of a driver’s license, if its validity period has expired at the time of receipt.

If the ID was lost or stolen, then a medical certificate is not required to restore it.

Documents required to obtain a medical certificate for drivers

In order for the driver to obtain a medical certificate, you must first prepare a list of documents. These include the following.

Identity card (passport).
Driver's license (if available).
Military ID (if the citizen is liable for military service).

With these documents, the citizen needs to contact the registry of the institution that issues medical certificates. We repeat - he must have a license. At the registry, the citizen is given a referral to doctors, who must examine him and issue a report on his state of health. Drivers of categories A, A1, B, BE, B1 and M need to undergo the following doctors:

therapist;
ophthalmologist;
psychiatrist;
expert in narcology.

For truck drivers, the list of doctors is more extensive. This:

surgeon;
ophthalmologist;
neurologist;
otorhinolaryngologist;
dermatovenerologist;
expert in narcology;
psychiatrist;
gynecologist (for women);
The therapist examines the patient last and makes the final conclusion.

It is worth noting that the services of a narcologist, psychiatrist and therapist in this case will be paid. The driver or his employer pays for the medical examination.

In addition, the driver will be required to undergo tests if doctors require it during the examination.

General blood analysis.
General urine analysis.
Fluorography (can be x-ray of the chest organs).
Electrocardiography.
Blood test for sugar and cholesterol.
Drivers of passenger and freight vehicles are also required to undergo electroencephalography.

If necessary, doctors may prescribe additional examinations and studies. It is possible to undergo a medical examination in another city, not at the place of registration, with the exception of a narcologist and a psychiatrist. You need to go through all the doctors on the list; It is impossible to obtain a medical certificate without the opinion of at least one of the doctors.

If the therapist’s conclusion is positive and the corresponding results of all studies are obtained, the driver is issued a medical certificate. At the registry, it must be stamped - without a stamp, the document is considered invalid.

Medical certificate form for driving license

A new sample document has appeared since mid-2021 and is issued in accordance with form 003 v/u. This is a document of strict accountability. The document form contains fields that require recording of the following information:

personal data of the driver candidate (or the driver himself),
information regarding his registration (in the new form the name has been changed from “place of residence” to now “place of registration”.
a complete list of transport subcategories and a note about the category for which this certificate is issued,
FULL NAME. and the signature of the doctor responsible for issuing this document.
The existing form of a driver's medical examination certificate includes, among other things, a table indicating restrictions on driving and additional indications. This is necessary to record diseases in which driving a car is possible, but limited or requires compliance with certain medical conditions.

Columns that were excluded from the new certificate form:

The line “validity period” is not provided in the certificate. The law establishes that it is valid for a year, therefore this column is not included in the form,
fields filled out by specialists. From 2021, this information is reflected in the patient’s medical record.
the old form was drawn up on two sides of A5 paper, now, due to the fact that there is less data, one side is enough for these purposes.

Where can I get a medical examination?

You can undergo a medical examination to obtain a certificate in a public clinic, or in a private one. Each of these options has its pros and cons.

Advantages of the state clinic:

You can get a medical examination for free, although you still have to pay for the services of some doctors (this was discussed above), in addition, the tests are also not free.

Minuses:

long queues in government institutions are still relevant;
preliminary appointment with specialists, which can last for several months.

In private clinics, too, not everything is as smooth as it seems, although there are obvious advantages:

no need to make an appointment with a doctor;
there are no queues – the medical examination procedure can be completed easily, quickly and calmly.

But there are also significant disadvantages:

an impressive price for services, considering that you will have to go through several doctors and undergo tests;
A certificate from a narcologist and a psychiatrist can only be obtained in government institutions and only for a fee. There is no such service in private clinics.

Then you need to see other doctors: an ophthalmologist, an otolaryngologist and others. Everyone must issue a report on the driver's health.
In addition to doctors, you need to undergo tests - they are listed above. You should be prepared for the fact that they will not be done on the first day.

Passing a driver's medical examination in 2018

A document such as a medical certificate (driver's license) is required to obtain a license. After completing the full training program at a driving school, studying the current traffic rules (traffic rules), and mastering the skills of safe driving, it is mandatory to undergo a medical examination. To obtain a driver's license, each driving school student takes an exam. But without a medical certificate, he simply will not be allowed to take the exams. This is a mandatory condition, which is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation N 1396 of December 15, 1999 “On approval of the Rules for passing qualification exams and issuing driver’s licenses.”

Who else needs a medical certificate and what does it look like in 2018? Let us immediately note that the innovations in obtaining a driver’s license, provided for by the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated October 14, 2017, which entered into force, do not affect the rules for passing a driver’s medical examination in 2018, and do not change the procedure for obtaining a certificate. As before, the driver’s medical commission determines the candidate driver, as well as drivers applying for a replacement license, the presence or absence of medical contraindications/restrictions for driving a vehicle. The certificate from the driver's medical commission in 2021 has the same sample as in 2021. The form of the medical certificate for submission to the traffic police has been changed and is regulated by Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated June 15, 2015 No. 344n “On conducting a mandatory medical examination of drivers of vehicles candidates for drivers of vehicles." This was required due to the fact that the doctors and tests included in the list of mandatory tests to obtain a driver’s license have changed. This sample certificate is still valid today.

How long will the certificate issued by the driver's medical board for a license be valid in 2021? The validity period of the driver's certificate remains unchanged and is 1 year. It will be necessary to obtain it again only after the expiration of the previous driver’s license, or when obtaining a license after its deprivation.

Where and how to take a driver's medical examination in 2021 to obtain a state-issued certificate? Where to undergo a medical examination for a driver’s license, as before, everyone chooses for themselves. This can be done in state, municipal and private medical institutions that are licensed to conduct medical examinations of drivers.

Cases when a medical certificate is not issued

There are cases when a citizen is denied a medical certificate. As a rule, this happens on the basis of the conclusion of doctors performing a medical examination, during which medical contraindications were identified. They are expressed in the presence of severe forms of illness in the driver. The Ministry of Health lists such diseases as:

severe form of blindness;
color vision impairment;
diabetes;
epilepsy;
people registered with a narcologist and a psychiatrist;
Parkinson's disease;
mental illnesses and others.

Citizens suffering from the listed ailments are a source of danger not only for people on the road, but also for themselves. Therefore, they are prohibited from driving.

Validity period for a medical certificate for a driver's license

A medical certificate for a driver's license is valid for 12 months. Previously, this period was 2 years. But now, due to the tightening of legislative standards for drivers, the validity period of the document has been reduced. By the way, previously a photograph of the car owner was pasted onto these certificates - now this is not required.

The medical certificate is valid throughout Russia.

Responsibility for the absence of a medical certificate or the expiration of its validity period implies fines in the amount of five to fifteen thousand rubles. In this case, the car is taken away by a tow truck.

If a citizen decides to buy a certificate, then the following penalties apply to him:

a fine of 80 thousand rubles;
480 hours of compulsory work;
2 years of correctional labor;
arrest for a period of six months.

The authenticity of the medical certificate is usually checked by traffic police officers. This is very easy to do. It is enough to call the institution that issued the document and find out everything. In addition, it is mandatory to check the medical certificate of disabled drivers (their cars must have a special sign with the image of a disabled person) and for citizens whose driver’s license is marked “Certificate required.”
