Accordingly, the examination in such a case will be delayed until confirmation is received, and if the supporting document is not received within six months, receipt public service regarding the issuance of a driver's license will be terminated in accordance with paragraphs 28.4 and 70 of the Administrative Regulations.

But in order to have this document, there are certain rules for obtaining a driver's license, which are detailed below.

Age limits for obtaining a driver's license

Any capable citizen of our country of the established age is entitled to obtain a driver's license. The minimum age for obtaining a license is 16 years. For such common categories as "B" and "C", you must reach the age of majority (18 years). The rest of the categories require the driver to be at least 21 years of age. We talked about this in detail in the previous article "".

Before applying for a public service, you need to undergo special training, as a result of which you will receive a supporting document. After that, a theoretical and practical test of knowledge and skills of future drivers is organized in specialized divisions of the State traffic inspectorate.

How to get a driver's license for the first time

How to get a driver's license in 2020, the question remains relevant for many driver candidates. Let's consider sequentially: where to start, at what stage, and what actions need to be taken to obtain an auto-certificate for the first time.

Transport categories

First, you should decide on the transport that you plan to drive in the near future. For this, according to the new rules, integers are set.

educational institution

In connection with the tightening of requirements for institutions that train drivers, their number has significantly decreased. However, for some unknown reason, driving schools continue to operate without the necessary permits.

And from October 14, 2017, the traffic police began to check the authenticity of certificates of training in a driving school in order to exclude false documents. Bottom line: wasted time and money.

In order not to fall for the bait of such institutions, you should adhere to the following rules when choosing a driving school:

• The cost of training should not be too low, unlike the average price tag for such services;
• Before signing the contract, ask if the institution has a valid license with a positive conclusion from the traffic police;
• Pay attention to whether there is a transport of the category you need in the work of the driving school.

Medical opinion

According to the provision established by Part 1 of Article 26 of the Law of December 10, 1995 N 196-FZ, in order to obtain a driver's license for the first time, a citizen must pass a medical examination, and, as a result, receive.

Examination of drivers is carried out in medical institutions (budgetary or commercial) that have received in due course permission and certificate. Certificates are issued on unified strict reporting forms and are valid throughout the country, regardless of the place of receipt.

But in the latter case, in order to avoid possible misunderstandings, it is advisable to obtain a properly certified copy of the license and provide it to the traffic police inspector at his request. If the certificate is issued by a medical institution without a license, then the driver candidate will not be allowed to take the exams.

Exam in traffic police

• Testing the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of candidates for drivers takes place in the form of an exam consisting of two parts, with some exceptions.

Skills are tested on specialized closed areas, as well as directly in a real traffic situation, with a trip to city streets. To obtain an auto-certification for category “A”, you do not need to take an internship in the city;

Candidates who have passed the theoretical part of the tests are allowed to practice within six months from the date of successful completion.
