Who issued the driver's license: where can I look at the license?

How to find out who issued a driver's license

The right to drive must always be confirmed by a document. Such a certificate is issued by specialized bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the driver’s place of registration. In most cases, this document already contains all the necessary data that may well be needed by the traffic police inspector who stopped the driver on the road due to a certain violation, or by the driver himself. Relative difficulties can arise only in a situation where you need to find out who issued the driver’s license, especially if you take into account the fact that quite recently the format of this record has been slightly changed.

Coding of traffic police departments on a new model

A driver's license always contains information about the inspection that issued the license. With outdated rights, this information took up a lot of space. Modernized documents are made on a plastic basis, where optical-electronic means are widely used for reliable photo identification. Such a certificate is much smaller, which means that the entire name of the issuing inspection authority simply does not physically fit on it. Taking this small nuance into account, specialists have created a system for encoding the names of traffic police departments, which facilitates the procedure for reading and displaying the necessary information.

Now the driver can always see who exactly issued the driver’s license on the traffic police website. Information about who exactly issued the driver’s license is on the front side of the document. It looks like four numbers in which:

2 digits at the beginning - the code of the inspection that issued the rights;
The 2 digits at the end are the personal code of the employee who issued the license.

Each employee and each department that issues certificates has a similar encoding.

Where is the information on the new type of license about who issued the license?

This encrypted information is placed on the front side of the driver’s license, namely in paragraph 4c. It looks like a 4-digit code.

Who issued the old driver's license

With the old-style license, the situation is more accessible and much simpler. All information necessary about the inspection is contained in the “issued” column. For example, the traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs-UVD Veliky Novgorod.

In what cases is it necessary to know who issued the rights?

If the driver’s personal data changes or the validity period of the driver’s license expires, it is necessary to obtain a new license. More and more citizens prefer to do this through the Internet service “Gosuslugi”. The portal allows you to submit an application online, which significantly saves the driver’s time. Information about where the rights were issued is needed when replacing a document through “Government Services”. To obtain a new license, the user of this Internet portal must fill out the following form fields:

your full name;
date and place of birth;
details of a general passport;
driver's address;
details of the previous VU;
where previous licenses were issued;
validity;
for what reason the rights are replaced.

Actually, this is the only situation when the driver himself must find out where the document is issued. It should be noted that replacing rights through “State Services” in 2021 requires not only providing information about the city where the document was issued, but also the name of the department of the relevant inspection. Important information: using the Internet service “State Services”, any citizen has the opportunity to receive a 30 percent discount on the payment of state fees.

Re-registration within 10 days

In particular, paragraph 6 of the Order states that “the owner of a vehicle is obliged, in accordance with the procedure established by these Rules, to make changes to the registration data of the vehicle within 10 days after purchase <...> or the occurrence of other circumstances that require changing the registration data.”

A description of these circumstances is given in paragraph 11 of the Order. It states that “vehicle registration data must be adjusted if the vehicle owner’s registration data changes.”

In other words, it is necessary to change the Vehicle Registration Certificate, as well as the PTS. This is necessary, since the full address of the owner of the car is written in the STS on the side where the MREO stamp is affixed. And if such a record no longer corresponds to reality, then the STS must also be obtained a new one.

The difficulty is that the Vehicle Registration Certificate cannot be corrected because it is laminated. Therefore, the STS has to be changed entirely, that is, a new card with different numbers and corresponding entries in the Technical Equipment Passport (PTS) must be issued. However, we must remember here that formally this procedure is not considered a new registration of the car. The old STS card is simply replaced with a new one.

What is the encoding of the traffic police department

The driver can obtain a license after receiving a certificate of completion of training at a driving school and passing the exams at the place of his registration or registration.

They must be issued by the state inspectorate after payment of the state fee. Information about the inspection that issued the license is reflected in the license. On the old document this inscription took up quite a lot of space. The new IDs are printed on a plastic base using optical-electronic photo identification devices. It is smaller in size, so the full name of the inspectorate that issued the issuance does not fit on it.

In this regard, a coding system was developed, assigned to each specific inspection, which greatly facilitated the procedure for reflecting and reading information.

The code is four digits:

The first two digits indicate the inspection that carried out the issuance.
The second two digits are the code of the employee who issued the document.

This coding is assigned to each department and their employees who provide the issuance of documents.

Information about each of the state inspections is located on the official website https://www.gibdd.ru/ in the “online reference books” tab.

How to renew a driver's license

Driving licenses are usually changed due to the expiration of their validity. To do this, you will need to write a petition in the prescribed form indicating the reason for the appeal. Additionally, you must attach the following package of documents:

driver's medical certificate
passport
receipt for payment of state duty

At the traffic police in Solntsevo, replacing a driver's license is standard. You need to pay 3,000 rubles for this service. After this, you need to take a photo for documents. The duration of the service is from a couple of hours to a day.

You can apply for a medical certificate in the prescribed form at any hospital in the city - public or private. To obtain a category “B” license, you will need to visit a narcologist, general practitioner, psychiatrist, or ophthalmologist.

Some drivers obtain international driving licenses. The state duty in this case will be 1,600 rubles. By law, the details of the VU must be identical.
