Why do you need a driver's medical examination?
Thousands of cars travel on the roads. When participating in road traffic, the driver is responsible not only for his own life, but also for the lives of his passengers, and is responsible for the safety of the drivers around him. Inappropriate behavior on the road and inability to drive well become the causes of accidents in which people may be injured. Often car accidents happen precisely because of health problems.
Before getting behind the wheel, a person undergoes an examination by a number of specialists, which is mandatory for vehicle drivers. His vision, hearing, mental state are checked, and other examinations are carried out. However, a huge number of accidents occur due to the fault of drunk drivers. This refers to both alcohol and drug intoxication. Therefore, among the doctors examining candidate drivers there is also a narcologist. And among the documents that the driver collects for the traffic police are certificates from a psychiatrist and a narcologist.
When do you need certificates from the traffic police?

Where can I take a driver's test?
Certificates from the traffic police from a narcologist and a psychiatrist, necessary to obtain the right to drive a car, can only be obtained at the place of registration. This innovation appeared in 2021. All other specialists can be taken in any city in the country at the place of your actual stay.
In the city where you are registered, you can contact state specialized dispensaries or private clinics and centers. When choosing where to go, it is worth considering which institution provides the opportunity to obtain certificates from several or all specialists at once. Agree that passing a medical examination for the traffic police in one day and in one place is much more convenient than traveling between hospitals, standing in queues, and discovering inconsistencies in specialists’ schedules.
Private multidisciplinary clinics and centers usually offer a full range of services, including certificates from a narcologist and a psychiatrist. In addition, in a private clinic you can make an appointment with specialists to receive certificates in advance at a time convenient for you.
Scheme of passing the medical examination
The validity of the medical certificate is 1 year; if during this period you plan to receive a new category, it is better to pass the commission immediately and for it, so as not to have to do it again later.
- Get a medical card. You can apply for a card at any health care institution that deals with this. The list of specialists and examinations depends on the category. Right in the institution you can see all the doctors at once, except for the psychiatrist and psychiatrist-narcologist.
- Visit the psychiatric and drug treatment clinics at the place of registration, they must also mark the medical record and take the necessary tests.

The process of obtaining a certificate from the traffic police
At the medical institution, you go to the reception desk, bringing with you the necessary package of documents. An employee of the institution fills out a certificate and card for you and registers them in the journal. Medical commission is paid according to the price list. Then you are given a sheet with a list of the specialists you will visit, a certificate, a card and all your personal documents.
The reception staff will tell you where to go, and you begin your rounds of doctors.
Upon completion of all procedures and examination by all specialists indicated in the list, you return to the reception desk. Here your certificate for the traffic police is certified by the final seal of the medical institution.
In addition to passing the driver's commission, there are a number of cases when certificates from a narcologist and psychiatrist are necessary.
How long is a medical certificate valid for drivers from 2021?
These certificates previously had no restrictions on their validity period.
Accordingly, a person could receive it at any time, and submit it after 1 year, 2 years, and so on. Such a situation entailed the establishment of unauthorized restrictions by the traffic police officer. Despite the illegality of such restrictions, certificates with an issuance period of more than 1 year were simply not accepted. This situation has been resolved and in 2021 there is a clear limitation period for the validity of the document. So, this period is 1 year from the date of issue. This means that after a year has passed from the date of receipt of the certificate, it can no longer be presented. Therefore, you need to undergo medical procedures again and obtain a new certificate.
General terms
To obtain a certificate, the opinion of a number of doctors is required. For example, it is necessary to undergo examination by a therapist or an ophthalmologist. If permission to drive a trolleybus or bus is required, you will need the opinions of a neurologist and otolaryngologist. All of these conclusions are reflected in a single certificate.
Its validity period is 1 year, as indicated above. There are no exceptions.
Validity period of a certificate from a narcologist and psychiatrist
As a mandatory condition for obtaining permission, it is necessary to undergo tests and examination by a narcologist and a psychiatrist. These specialists issue a certificate of no contraindications. This certificate is also valid for 1 year.
Can the certificate be terminated early?
There is no such procedure. At the same time, if during the validity of the certificate and before presenting it to the traffic police, the state of health of the person changes, this entails the termination of the validity of the certificate. For example, if during this period a person is diagnosed with a mental disorder, alcoholism or any other contraindication. In this case, the permit becomes invalid. And its further presentation and concealment of the above circumstances will become the basis for the imposition of a large fine on the person.
Employment references
A few years ago, the requirement for certificates from a narcologist and psychiatrist for employment was applied only at some enterprises. Typically, these are industries with hazardous working conditions, where the worker must be sober, attentive and careful so as not to harm his health and the safety of others. These are also production positions or positions with a high level of responsibility. For example, medical specialties related to working with legal drugs.
There are types of activities whose representatives have standard weapons, for example, the military, security guards. To prevent weapons from ending up in the hands of an inadequate person, applicants who apply for such specialties also undergo an examination by a narcologist and a psychiatrist.
Abroad, drug tests have long become commonplace. Not only adults undergo them when applying for a job, but also college students, even schoolchildren. Drugs came to our country on a state scale somewhat later than in many Western countries, so mandatory testing is not yet as widespread as there. But if a few years ago drug tests for applicants were carried out mainly by foreign companies with representative offices in Russia, today many ordinary enterprises and private organizations introduce such a condition when applying for a job. This is due to the very widespread prevalence of drug addiction and alcoholism in the country. Any employer wants to be confident in his employees, in their health, and to know that he will not have unnecessary problems associated with their drug addiction.
Moreover, in some institutions and enterprises even smoking during working hours is not encouraged. Tobacco addiction can be a real obstacle to getting the job you want. On the one hand, smoking really takes a lot of time from employees and makes an unpleasant impression on clients. On the other hand, this is a trend in modern society as a whole. Interest in a healthy lifestyle, including quitting nicotine, is gaining momentum. Smoking is prohibited in public places, restrictions have been introduced on the sale of tobacco products, and they are now stored in special locked cabinets in sales areas. Even feature films have captions warning that the film contains smoking scenes.
Weapons Commission
Weapons are one of those means that can bring both great benefit and great harm. With weapons in your hands you can protect the lives of fellow citizens, or you can commit criminal crimes.
As we have already noted, there are a number of professions where carrying and storing weapons is a professional necessity. But sometimes ordinary citizens want to buy weapons. Some people hunt, others find it easier to live knowing that they have such a means of protection, others collect weapons. Regardless of the reason for which a person wishes to own a weapon, he must have official permission to do so. To do this, among other things, you need to obtain a certificate from a narcologist and a psychiatrist. As you understand, an unbalanced or dependent person with a weapon in his hands poses a threat to others.
In cases where it is necessary to obtain the right to own a weapon, a particularly strict examination by psychiatrists is carried out. The candidate is examined by a commission of several specialists (at least three), and the decision is made collectively. The validity period of a certificate from a psychiatrist and narcologist for the weapons commission is six months.

This document is needed when applying for training or employment in a number of specialties, work in which has special requirements for the health of the applicant. This form of certificate confirms that you can engage in this type of activity without harm to your health and the health of others.
The certificate is valid for six months; if during this time you have not found a job, you will need to get it again. In cases where employment in another specialty occurs, the personnel service may accept your certificate or ask you to bring a new one that corresponds to this type of activity, even if the validity of the certificate has not yet expired.
Where and how do you get such a certificate?
These certificates are issued in medical institutions. As a rule, it is enough to contact a district clinic or a private clinic that has a license for this type of activity.
List of documents

It is important to remember that this service is paid. Therefore, you first need to pay for it, and then provide the listed documents along with a receipt for payment and go through the doctors. Payment can be made online through the government services portal or at any bank.
Registration procedure
When providing the above documents, you need to contact a therapist, who will give you a referral to see other doctors. Examinations and examinations can be carried out in any order. In this case, the final documents on the results of the examination are submitted by the relevant doctors themselves without the participation of the patient.
After passing through all the specialists, all that remains is to receive a completed certificate.
What are the consequences of an expired certificate?
The end of its validity will not entail any legal consequences in the form of fines and so on. The only consequence will be that the certificate will lose its validity. Therefore, after one year from the date of receipt, you will have to repeat the procedure and draw up a new current document.
