Where can I check my deprivation online?
Today, there are several services for checking the ban on driving a car using your driver’s license number. But they all request data from the traffic police database, being essentially a chain in the order of requesting information with the ensuing possible errors and out-of-date data.
Therefore, the only relevant way in 2021 to check the deprivation of rights on the Internet, as well as find out whether the period has expired, is the official website of the traffic police. And here the data is displayed only by driver’s license number.
In fact, you can get the following information from the database:
- the very fact of the presence of a control ban,
- you will be able to find out the date when the period of deprivation ends,
- state of execution - whether the period of deprivation has begun at all,
- city or other locality of birth of the offender.
Summation of terms of deprivation of rights
There are circumstances when traffic police officers stop a driver for one violation several times in one day. In addition, it happens that a person violates traffic rules a couple of times before the start of the deprivation period, i.e. before the court order came into effect. This raises the following question: can rights be revoked twice or repeatedly?
Part 3 of Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses tells us that the terms for all violations are summed up and awarded one by one.
For example: A driver drove a car without registration plates and received a three-month license deprivation for such a violation. While there was no trial, he continued to drive his vehicle. A day later, he was stopped for driving a car in the oncoming lane. For this offense he received another 9 months of imprisonment. This means that first the driver will lose his license for three months, and after this time the outstanding sanction of 9 months will come into force. Total – a year without a license.
It is worth noting: due to existing amendments adopted by the State Duma, the next punishment in line may be canceled or reduced.
How can I find out if there is a deprivation of rights on the traffic police website?
The procedure for checking a driver's license online is quite simple. To search for data on revocation of rights you will need:
- series and serial number of the person being checked,
- date of its issue.
Both of these parameters can be found on the back of the license: the series and number are at the bottom of the certificate, the date of receipt is for the earliest open category. This date is also on the front side in column 4a:
So, the instructions are simple, and finding out a person’s ID and expiration date is done in just a few clicks.
- Go to the official website of the traffic police in the section checking the driver for deprivation.
- In the presented form you will see 2 fields to fill out: series and license number and date of issue.
- Fill in the numbers in these fields in order - if you make a mistake, you will not be able to go back to the left to correct it. Also, you cannot paste copied driver’s license data into the form for verification - alas, the State Traffic Inspectorate website is very limited in these actions.
- Next, click on the “request review” link below.
As a result, information about the driver’s rights and their status will appear below this link. Let's look at 2 possible options.
If there is no deprivation
In this case, you will simply receive information containing the following data:
- date of birth of the person whose driver's license is being checked,
- date of issue of rights,
- expiration date of the license,
- categories that you can manage.
This is what the check result looks like if there is no deprivation or its period has expired:
That is, if after the information about your rights the reference data “Please pay your attention!” begins, then you are not deprived of your rights according to the traffic police database
But there may be an error here too. The fact is that the database of the traffic police website is not always updated up to date, and if a decision was made against you recently, then when checking your rights to deprivation online you will not be able to find out about this, since the information has not yet been received. But temporary failures are also possible, which, unfortunately, happen regularly on the portal. In this case, just try again to check the deprivation in a few days.
If you are deprived
In this case, the site will show you the relevant information. This is what it will look like:
As of the inspection date, information about the deprivation and when the deadline expires, as well as the status of execution
Pay attention to the line “status of execution of the resolution” - it may raise questions for many motorists. Essentially, it reflects whether the period of deprivation of rights has begun or not, and the following options for displaying information in this line are possible.
- “ The calculation of the period of deprivation of the right to drive has begun ” - this means that the period is running and should end according to plan (more on this below).
- “ The calculation of the period is interrupted ” - this means that you probably did not submit your driver’s license, and thus the execution period began, but was interrupted after 3 days and will begin again when you submit your license to the traffic police. This is the worst result of checking rights, since in fact the period of deprivation has increased significantly.
- “ A ruling has been issued ” - you have been sentenced, but the court ruling itself has not yet entered into legal force.
How to find out the expiration date of the revocation of a driver's license
As soon as the driver’s license is handed in, thoughts usually begin to come to mind about when, on what desired day it will be possible to get the driver’s license back. To do this, we will tell you how to calculate when the period of deprivation of rights will end.
The calculation can be done quite simply - you only need to know the start date of the period and the time for which you are deprived of rights. For example: on December 1, 2015, a court ruling came into force depriving you of your rights for three months. We add the deadlines and we get that starting from February 1, 2021, you can already go for your ID. Don't forget about weekends: when the expiration date of the deprivation of rights falls on a weekend or holiday, receipt of the document is postponed to the first working day after this date. Only then will it be possible to go to the traffic police department, where your driver’s license is kept for safekeeping.
How can I see when the deadline ends?
This data is indicated in the deprivation information block.
But the exact date, how much is left before obtaining a license, is not displayed on the traffic police website when checking deadlines. You will have to calculate it yourself. But don't worry, it's very easy to do!
To calculate when the period of deprivation of a driver's license ends, we need to know the following regulatory data:
- the period of deprivation begins from the day the court decision enters into force - this occurs on the 11th day from the day it was issued by the judge,
- within 3 days you are required to surrender your driver's license or write a statement about the loss to the traffic police, which executes the court order (must be indicated in a copy of the decision), otherwise the period of deprivation will be interrupted and resumed from the date of surrender or application.
Calculation example No. 1
- The judge deprived the driver of his license on January 1, 2021 for a period of 4 months, making a corresponding decision,
- accordingly, the punishment comes into force on January 11,
- before January 14, you must give your license to the traffic police or write a statement if you have lost it,
- Let’s say you handed in your ID, then the period of deprivation will expire on May 11, 2021.
Calculation example No. 2
- The court imposed a sentence of March 1, 2021 for six months,
- you appealed the decision in the district court - thus, the entry into force was postponed until the decision of the district court was made - for example, this happened on May 1, in this case it comes into force immediately - from 05/1/2021,
- you must submit your driver’s license by May 3, but you didn’t do this, and only wrote a statement about the loss on May 20,
- in this case, on May 1, as expected, the period of deprivation of rights began, but was interrupted on the 3rd, and resumed on the 20th - thus, it expires only on November 17, 2021 (3 days from the 1st to the 3rd, then six months minus these 3 days , starting May 20).
It is important to know!
Regarding the statement of loss of rights. In June 2021, the Supreme Court issued a Resolution of the Plenum. It examined a number of issues, including the terms of deprivation of rights.
And the Supreme Commander pointed out that if you wrote a statement about the loss of your license, but then continued to drive with it again, deceiving the traffic police, then the entire calculation period that had already passed before the day this violation was discovered is canceled and starts anew from the day it was discovered violations. And this is in addition to the fine for driving while deprived of your license.
One more example. You have been deprived of your driving privileges for 3 months. The resolution came into force on January 20, and you filed a statement about the loss of your license on time. But they continued to travel with him. On April 10, traffic police inspectors caught you, ransacked your license, and it turned out that you had been revoked and indicated that it was the driver’s license they had presented for verification that they had lost. And in this case, 3 months will begin again on April 10 and will pass only on July 10.
Calculation period for deprivation of a driver's license
Initially, you need to find out the specific start date of the deprivation of rights. Hypothetically, the violation occurred on July 1, the trial took place on July 20, and the court decision was challenged on August 18. The period of restriction of rights is one month. In this case, the start date of the restrictive period is August 18. If the court's decision is not challenged, then the start date would be July 30, which is twenty plus ten days. The end date of restrictive measures in the first case is September 19, and in the second it will be on August 31.
It is important to pay attention to the fact that the start of the period for deprivation of a driver’s license is postponed if the driver did not take a copy of the decision from the court. In this case, the calculation begins not from the date of the court hearing, but from the moment the decision is received.
If in the example considered, the citizen did not immediately take a copy of the resolution, but it was delivered by registered mail fourteen days later, then the driver’s license should be picked up on September 4.
How to find a court decision?
Unfortunately, through the traffic police website it is impossible to find out the number of the decision or court order imposing a punishment.
If, when checking the number of your driver’s license for deprivation, you suddenly discovered the presence of it, even with an interrupted period, although you did not receive any letters and, therefore, did not know about the imposed punishment, then you can find out the court’s decision only by requesting the relevant information from the traffic police at the place of deprivation.
But this can also be done through an online application by submitting a corresponding application online on the same traffic police website.
If you have a range of possible courts where the punishment was imposed, then you can look at the ruling or decision directly on the official website of the court, finding it in search engines. This court website will be official if it ends with “…sudrf.ru”.
How to find out the penalty for deprivation?
A fine imposed simultaneously with a driving ban under articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses for intoxication or refusal to undergo examination can be officially enforced in 2 ways:
- on the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate in the section for checking fines,
- on State Services.
You can easily identify the fine for deprivation of rights among others - it will be in the amount of 30,000 rubles and by date it will be issued approximately when the deprivation was imposed and the term began.
Please note that when the period of deprivation has passed, in order to return the license you will need to pay not only this fine, but also all other fines you have from the traffic area.
How can I check if I passed the exam?
This information is also not provided interactively online. Based on the results of passing the exam, you should have been given a special conclusion about this.
In any case, you can request this information in writing to the traffic police department where you passed the theory, or by the same online request.
How to get your license back after deprivation?
To do this, it is important that the following conditions are met:
- you handed over your driver’s license on time to the traffic police department that is executing your punishment, or you wrote a statement about the loss, and you were not caught driving on an unsurrendered license,
- you have successfully passed the theoretical exam on knowledge of traffic rules,
- you have paid all available fines (and they have reached the traffic police database, or you have receipts),
- in case of deprivation of your license under one of the articles for drunk driving or refusal of examination, you also received a new medical certificate in form 003-B/u.
In this case, simply by calculation, when the period of deprivation of a driver’s license expires, you come to the traffic police department where they are located and ask them to be issued, taking with you the following documents:
- Your passport,
- receipts for payment of fines,
- medical certificate (in case of deprivation for intoxication or refusal to undergo a medical examination).
Moment of accrual of the period of deprivation of rights
To begin with, it is worth recalling that today rights are not taken away on the spot. They must be submitted independently after the court order comes into force. While there is no such resolution, you can legally drive your car. The period begins to be calculated from the moment the court decision takes legal force. This is indicated by the 1st part of Article 32.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia:
The period of deprivation of rights begins to run after 10 days from the court decision. Ten days are provided for appealing the decision.
There are certain moments when the time for deprivation of a driver’s license is calculated not after 10 days, but later:
- The court's decision is being challenged. In this case, the period of deprivation begins from the moment the decision of the court of last instance to which the driver applied becomes legally binding.
Let us note the following point: until the court order begins to take effect, the driver can drive a car with his valid driver's license in hand.
- In a situation in which, if the driver has not surrendered his driver’s license within 3 working days, the period of deprivation of license is not counted.
