If the rights expire between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2023, you do not need to change the document. The traffic police and the Ministry of Justice have agreed to extend the possibility of using the previous rights for another three years.
This way drivers can save on passing a medical examination and the state obligation to obtain a driver’s license. And you do not have to spend time on communication with the state and paperwork.
All changes are reflected in electronic form in the database of the traffic police, so if the owner of such rights is stopped by a traffic police inspector, he will not be fined.
An important addition: if a driver with an expired driving license intends to travel abroad and start driving, the driving license will still have to be changed without fail: the decision only applies to Russia.
