I am a citizen of Moldova. In 2018, he was caught driving under the influence, the court stripped him of his driver’s license for a year and three months. But I did not pass on the rights myself until November 2019. Can I get my rights back? If so, how and where? Is it possible to get a Russian driver’s license right away?

Taking into account the provisions of Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the calculation of the deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle started from the moment your driver’s license was revoked, that is. from December 2019 . As follows from a simple calculation, the period of hardship ended in February 2021.
To hand in your driver’s license, you need to contact the Department of the State Traffic Inspectorate, whose employees have started an administrative procedure against you – this is where your driver’s license will be kept.
Conditions of return – checking your knowledge of traffic rules, paying fines for traffic violations and passing a medical examination for medical contraindications to driving.
Checking knowledge of traffic rules is carried out in advance in each examination unit of the State Traffic Inspectorate through a theoretical exam. To undergo a medical examination, you must turn to a medical organization that has the right to conduct preliminary and periodic medical examinations (the so-called “medical board of the driver”).
Obtaining a Russian driver’s license is also possible in the prescribed manner. This is possible on the basis of your Moldovan driver’s license as well as on a general basis. In all cases, you must pass theory and practical exams at the State Traffic Inspectorate and pass a medical examination In general, if you want to obtain a Russian driver’s license (that is, not in the order of exchanging a Moldovan driver’s license), in addition, you must undergo training for the right to drive a vehicle in the appropriate educational organization ( driving school ).
