Driving licenses for Kyrgyz citizens will be changed. Migrants will have to exchange their Kyrgyz licenses for Russian ones. What foreign documents are allowed?

Not long ago in Russian Federation a law was passed banning work in Russia with foreign driver's licenses; the law has already entered into force, but drivers have another year to fulfill all its conditions. The reason for such measures was the increase in the number of road accidents in which citizens of other states were participants. Thus, legal work with foreign rights in Russia in 2019 can only be carried out if their holders exchange national rights for Russian ones. True, State Duma deputies gave migrant drivers another year to obtain Russian-style documents.

Labor activity of migrants

The Government of the Russian Federation is loyal to the employment of citizens of other countries on its territory, the only condition being compliance with the law. IN Labor Code The Russian Federation clearly defines the relationship between the employee, including those from another state, and the employer, as well as the conditions of employment.

Attracting external labor in the form of migrants contributes to the development of Russian regions, but it is important for them to know whether foreign driver’s licenses are valid for work in Russia.

According to officials, Russian drivers are better prepared than their colleagues from near or far abroad, and there is no way to check the legality of obtaining documents allowing them to drive vehicles. And Russians tend to trust drivers who have received their licenses in Russia more.

Find out detailed information about how work activities are carried out foreign citizens in the Russian Federation.

Prohibition on working with foreign driver's licenses

Despite the fact that some drivers began exchanging their national licenses back in 2016, but, as always, there are those who are less aware of whether migrants with foreign licenses can work on minibuses and other public transport. Let's try to figure this out.

Time allowed for replacement

The decision on the entry into force of the law prohibiting foreign rights when carrying out labor activities in Russia has been postponed more than once. After the set date of June 1, 2017, State Duma deputies decided to give foreign drivers another year to replace their national licenses with Russian ones. Thus, the validity period of foreign driver's license expires June 1, 2018.

Which foreigners will not have to exchange their licenses?

Statistics show that slightly less than half of drivers Russian roads are foreigners. Most migrants earn their living by transporting passengers and freight. Foreign citizens who have moved to Russia for permanent residence and use a car for personal purposes can continue to use their driver’s license obtained abroad; if they wish, they can exchange it for a Russian document. Also, the exchange of licenses issued by another state for Russian ones is not required for drivers who pass through the territory of the Russian Federation in transit.

Migrants working in the Russian Federation under a contract must exchange their rights before June 1, 2018.

Arrives in the Russian Federation large number labor migrants from the Republic of Belarus, some of whom drive cars and have a driver’s license issued to them in their home country. After the adoption of the law banning foreign driving licenses for commercial purposes, many drivers with Belarusian licenses are worried whether they will also have to exchange their documents. However, in this matter, citizens of the Republic of Belarus working in the transport sector are lucky, since they can continue to use their national driver's licenses.

Administrative liability for lack of Russian rights

If foreign drivers do not exchange their national licenses for Russian ones, they will most likely be fired. Such measures are directly related to responsibility for breaking the law, which in this case will be borne not only by the driver himself, but also by the employer, and the latter will suffer more in this case, because the fine for working with a foreign license for official is 50,000 rubles, while the driver will have to pay an amount from 5,000 to 15,000 rubles, and the violation itself is equivalent to driving a car without a license.

• Order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated June 15, 2015 N 344n “On conducting mandatory medical examination of vehicle drivers (candidate vehicle drivers).

Let's look at the different situations in order.

Driving in Russia with a foreign license

You can drive a car in Russia with a foreign license if the driver is a citizen of a foreign state.

It is not allowed to drive a vehicle on the basis of foreign national driver's licenses when carrying out business and labor activities directly related to driving vehicles (clause 13 of Article 25 of Federal Law No. 196 of December 10, 1995 - entered into force on June 1, 2017).

Provision of paragraph 13 of article 25 does not apply to citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as citizens of states whose legislation establishes the use of Russian as the official language (approx. citizens of Belarus), carrying out business and labor activities on the territory of the Russian Federation, directly related to driving vehicles (as amended by 204-FZ of July 26, 2017) .

Foreign citizen with Russian rights

Foreign citizens have the right to obtain a Russian driver's license. Obtaining a Russian certificate gives a foreign citizen the right to work in the field of road transport in Russia. The Russian national driver's license is issued for 10 years.

Russian citizen with foreign rights

If you are a Russian citizen and permanently reside in Russia, then you must drive only with a Russian license. The right of any state not to recognize foreign rights for citizens of its country as valid is enshrined in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (Article 41, paragraph 7):

Parties to the convention are not obliged to:

a) recognize as valid national or international driving licenses issued in the territory of another Contracting Party to persons who had their usual place of residence in their territory at the time of issue of that driving license or who transferred their usual place of residence to their territory after the issue of that license;

b) recognize the validity of the above-mentioned driving licenses issued to drivers whose usual place of residence at the time of issue of the licenses was not in the territory where the licenses were issued, or who changed their place of residence after the issue of the licenses to another territory.

Thus, being a citizen of the Russian Federation and a resident of the Russian Federation, you cannot use a foreign driver’s license on the territory of Russia. Even if you received a foreign license in tourist trip or during temporary residence in another country, you will not be able to use them in Russia.

Citizens and residents of the Russian Federation have the right to drive vehicles on the territory of Russia only with a Russian driver's license.

This is evidenced by the current judicial practice, examples of court decisions:

• Oktyabrsky District Court (St. Petersburg) -
• Frunzensky District Court of Vladivostok (Primorsky Territory) -
• Leninsky District Court of Tyumen (Tyumen Region) -
• Gatchina City Court ( Leningrad region) -

The courts indicate in their decisions (example wording):

Taking into account the fact that Tad******va S.M. is a citizen of the Russian Federation, is not a person permanently or temporarily residing or temporarily staying on the territory of the Russian Federation, a state of national (civil) affiliation Tad******va S.M. is the Russian Federation, therefore, national documents for it are documents issued by the competent authorities of the Russian Federation for use on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Thus, the provisions legal norm(Article 25 of the Federal Law "On Road Safety"), which allows driving a vehicle in the Russian Federation on the basis of a foreign national driver's license, is not applicable to citizens of the Russian Federation, they apply to foreign citizens temporarily staying in the Russian Federation.

Fine for Russian citizens for driving on a foreign license

If a Russian citizen drives a car with a foreign driver’s license and does not have a Russian license, it is considered that the driver does not have the right to drive vehicles in Russia.

Such a violation is punishable by administrative fine in the amount of 5 to 15 thousand rubles (Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Exchange of foreign driving licenses for the Russian Federation (procedure for replacing foreign rights)

The procedure for exchanging a foreign driver's license for a Russian one is established by the Government of the Russian Federation, namely by Resolution No. 1097 dated October 24, 2014 (as amended on February 4, 2016) “On admission to driving vehicles.”

The exchange is made based on the results of the exams. Those wishing to obtain a Russian license must pass:

• theoretical exam;
• exam on initial driving skills;
• driving test in traffic conditions.

Thus, if your Driving License complies with the international requirements enshrined in the Vienna Convention, You can exchange it for a Russian one without going to a driving school.

To exchange a foreign national driver's license, the following documents are submitted:

1. statement;
2. passport or other identification document;
3. medical report (certificate in form 003-B/u, approved by order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated June 15, 2015 N 344n);
4. foreign driver's license.

IMPORTANT: Foreign driver's licenses that do not meet the requirements international treaties Russian Federation in the field of road safety, cannot be exchanged for Russian national and international driver's licenses. In this case, it is necessary to obtain a Russian-style driver's license in the general manner along with studying at a driving school.

The foreign driver's license is returned to its owner at the same time as issuance Russian rights. Notes on existing experience must be displayed in paragraph 14 of the received driver’s license:

Which national rights correspond to the Vienna Convention

The International Convention on Road Traffic defines the features that a driver’s license of states that have acceded to this treaty must have, namely:

1. The driver's license must be a document.
2. the certificate is printed in the language or languages ​​determined by the competent authority that issues the document; however, it bears the title "permis de conduire" in French, which may or may not be accompanied by the title "Driving License" in other languages, and the name and/or distinguishing sign of the country in which the license is issued.
3. Entries made on the certificate are made either only in letters of the Latin alphabet or in words, or are repeated in the same way.
4. The certificate must contain the following information; This information is numbered from 1 to 11:
   1. surname
   2. first and patronymic
   3. date and place of birth
   4. place of residence
   5. authority that issued the certificate
   6. date and place of issue of the certificate
   7. expiration date of the certificate
   8. ID number
   9. signature and/or stamp or seal of the authority that issued the certificate
   10. owner's signature

The law introducing a moratorium on driving vehicles with non-Russian licenses was adopted in the Russian Federation back in 2013. However, the entry into force of the innovations was delayed until today. According to Article 92 of this federal law a ban is introduced on the use of foreign driver's licenses when driving public and private vehicles. If the holder of such rights is nevertheless hired, the employer may be subject to a fine of up to 50 thousand rubles. According to Kanat Zholdoshev, a Kyrgyz driver working in Moscow, due to the fact that the entry into force of the ban was postponed several times and there was little accurate information, many of his compatriots simply did not have time to prepare for the moratorium properly: “As soon as I heard about it, I I immediately went to the traffic police to find out how to get a Russian license.

In the year of the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, it is necessary to accept such an appeal, says Sergei Mironov. - Citizens have concerns about drivers who do not know traffic rules and the Russian language.

Attention

Kyrgyzstan recently “forgave” its debts by writing off the balance of debt on loans taken in Russia. But such measures are unlikely to contribute to the study of the Russian language.

Kyrgyz citizens will not have to obtain a Russian driver's license

Law No. 196-FZ dated December 10, 1995 established that foreign citizens whose activities in Russia are not related to entrepreneurship or employment can use a driver’s license of the state of which they are citizens.

Moreover, such persons must have accompanying title documents that confirm temporary or permanent residence in Russia.

If a citizen of Kyrgyzstan does not have a Russian-style driver’s license, you must have a driver’s license of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan with you.

Who is required to have a Russian driver's license?

Mandatory receipt of a driver's license of the Russian Federation is approved for the following categories of persons:

• concluded employment contract for the provision of driving services in the Russian Federation;
• those carrying out entrepreneurial or labor activities related to driving a vehicle on the territory of the Russian Federation;
• for those who need to register an additional category or subcategory of vehicle management due to their work activities.

Important! Citizens of Kyrgyzstan, unlike other foreign citizens on the territory of the Russian Federation, can carry out entrepreneurial and labor activities without a Russian driver's license, if they have a license from the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, even if driving a vehicle will be the direct labor responsibility of these persons.

This exception is made for states in which Russian is used as one of the official languages.

A Russian-style driver's license issued for driving a certain category of vehicle must coincide with the work duties of a citizen of Kyrgyzstan on the territory of the Russian Federation. Having a national driver's license for one category, it is impossible to perform duties for driving a vehicle that require qualifications of another, higher category. Otherwise, both the employer and the employee are liable.

Is it possible to replace a driver's license of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan with a Russian one?

Citizens of Kyrgyzstan who have already received a driver's license in their home country can exchange them for a Russian license, subject to a certain procedure.

If a citizen of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan has a driver’s license with the sign “SU”, which was once issued to persons from the republics of the former USSR, then they can be exchanged at any branch of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Russian Federation.

Documents provided to replace a driver's license:

• passport of a citizen of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan;
• a valid driver's license of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan;
• document confirming registration on the territory of the Russian Federation;
• migration card;
• patent for labor activity.

Initial acquisition of a driver's license in the Russian Federation

If a citizen of Kyrgyzstan receives a driver’s license for the first time on the territory of the Russian Federation, then he goes through this procedure at general principles along with Russian citizens.

Important! Driving licenses issued by citizens of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan on the territory of the Russian Federation will be valid only during their stay in the Russian Federation (based on registration data).

Subsequently, when renewing registration or obtaining a residence permit, a Russian driver’s license can be exchanged for a new one at the traffic police department.

To obtain a Russian driver's license, you need to take a theoretical course and complete certain hours of practice driving a vehicle.

Registration for driving courses occurs upon presentation of a passport and payment. The amount of payment depends on the subject of the Russian Federation in which the training will take place and the specific settlement. Naturally, driving courses will be more expensive, for example, in Moscow and cheaper in Nevtekamsk.

An important point in obtaining a certificate is a medical examination. It must be completed at the stage of completing the training courses. The medical examination takes place in a private or public institution accredited for such a procedure.

As a rule, after successfully passing the theoretical and practical part of the exam at a driving school, a citizen of Kyrgyzstan can submit documents to take the exam at the traffic police:

• application for passing the exam;
• passport of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan;
• medical certificate of the established form;
• a receipt confirming payment of the state duty;
• certificate of successful completion of training at a driving school.

There are often cases when the road service may refuse to pass the exam on the following grounds:

• when the face has unpaid fines(traffic violation);
• the person is under criminal investigation;
• the person already has a valid driver's license;
• a citizen of Kyrgyzstan was deprived of his driver's license by court decision;
• the rights were withdrawn as a result of an offense;
• There are medical contraindications to driving a vehicle.

If a citizen of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan has been admitted to take the exam, then he will have to undergo computer testing (theory) and perform some mandatory elements of driving on the racetrack and in the city.

Successful completion of all stages of the exam provides for the issuance of a driver's license within seven days. When receiving your ID, you must present a document that can be used to prove your identity.
