The traffic police named the time frame for the replacement of expiring driver's licenses

Driver's licenses that expire between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2025 are automatically renewed for three years. The Russian State Traffic Inspectorate recalled this in its Telegram channel on April 1.

If the driver's license expires, for example, in May 2022, it will be considered valid until May 2025.

"No additional marks will be required in the document — the extension is automatic," the ministry stressed.

However, if the validity period of the driver's license has previously been extended for three years, this procedure is not carried out a second time. Such rights must be replaced, the Traffic Police said.
