One of the columns in the list of numerous services of multifunctional centers operating in Moscow and other cities of Russia is the issuance of cards to drivers of certain types of transport. Since this document is aimed at identifying the owner, the design takes into account the need for joint use with a tachograph. Access to this opportunity, which allows you to save time and nerves lost in queues, has been available since 2015. MFC opens.

What types of cards are there?

What is a tachograph? And this is nothing more than a document that includes all the important information about the driver of such types of vehicles as a bus, minibus, trolleybus and even a heavy truck. In addition, using this map it is possible to obtain comprehensive information regarding driving style, speed limit, and the number of kilometers traveled. But since transport in Russia is equipped with different types of devices, you should count on the following types of cards:

• Driver's license, which provides access to the vehicle itself and its operation;
• An option that provides control by the management of the enterprise, aimed at tracking the traffic schedule and other information;
• A control chart aimed at solving the problems of regulatory authorities, including the traffic police;
• An analogue for workshops, answering questions about calibration, installation and adjustment of equipment.

This document is issued exclusively to private individuals whose residence time in the Russian Federation is at least 185 days per year. In addition, the following requirements are imposed on the recipient of the tachograph card:

• Availability of a driver's license that provides the right to drive a vehicle of the specified category;
• Age standards.

What documents need to be provided

Since many citizens choose to solve these problems through the department of the MFC and State Services, they will need not only to make an appointment, but also to prepare the following documents:

• Passport, which must contain a registration mark;
• Driver's license;
• An application drawn up in accordance with the template established by the MFC;
• SNILS policy;
• Receipt for the relevant payment;
• TIN certificate;
• One black and white photograph measuring 3.5 by 4.5 cm;
• A certificate from the place of employment containing the enterprise’s request for the issuance of this document.

The applicant must bring with him the originals of all specified documents.
All necessary copies will be made by MFC employees during the reception. If something is wrong with the photograph, the interested person is allowed to replace it with another that meets the requirements. Documents submitted for the purpose of obtaining a driver card for a tachograph will definitely be checked by the Center’s specialists. In the absence of any claims to the papers, the applicant is given a receipt for their receipt, which will necessarily indicate the date of receipt of the document of interest (upon its readiness). Upon presentation of this very receipt, as well as the passport of the interested person, the requested plastic card will be issued. As for the nuances of the operation of the specified tachograph card, the driver does not need to try to understand their intricacies. It will be enough for him to just cope with the simplest operations, for which it is not at all difficult to find instructions with videos on the Internet.

Package of documents for issuing a CIPF driver card

Driver cards are valid for 3 years from the date of issue (for both AETR and CIPF). This means that when the specified time approaches, you need to think about re-issuing, since the predicted electronic key is not allowed to be used.

Cards are issued by companies that have permits for this type of activity. To register, you need to contact one of these companies and provide a package of documents.

Tachographs with the NKM/CIPF module are more common in the Russian Federation, which is why cards for them are ordered much more often. The documentation package for obtaining an electronic key compatible with the NCM module includes:

• A copy of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
• Taxpayer identification number.
• A copy of the document permitting you to drive a car.
• A copy of SNILS.
• A request from an organization that is applying for the issuance of a tach card (the registration address of the company and its full name must be provided).
• Certificate of theft/loss/breakage of the chip card (if a replacement is needed for one of these reasons).

All copies that the driver or company submits for the production of an electronic key must be certified by the seal and signature of the responsible person.

In addition to the documentation package, the driver for whom the tach card is issued fills out an application according to the approved form . Its form can be downloaded from the website of the organization that issues the cards. The application is certified by the driver’s personal signature.

The application contains personal data and information about the organization. A photo is pasted into the appropriate field (size - 3.5 x 4.5 cm, black and white).

Production time and service price

Waiting for the release of the corresponding plastic will not take more than 15 working days.
True, you will also have to take into account the delivery time from the MFC to the issuing organization and back. This will take 2 to 3 days. The cost of producing this card can vary greatly. The fact is that the following circumstances are of decisive importance here:

• which company is performing the work on the application;
• type of card ordered.

If, as an example, we consider a Russian-style form that includes a CIPF block, then we should expect a cost of 2,100 to 2,500 rubles. Manufacturing plastic with the AETR module forces the driver or company applying for the card to pay from 3,100 to 4,000 rubles. MFC does not charge money for its services.

List of required papers when registering

As mentioned above, the list of required papers when issuing a card for both types of tachographs - for a European-style device and with a CIPF unit - is largely similar.

Some differences are in the set of papers required in one case or another. If a company orders an enterprise card for itself, the set of documents will be significantly different.

For individuals

Individuals are required to submit the following documents when issuing cards both for a tachograph with a CIPF unit and for a device made according to AETR standards:

• application for issuing a card;
• a copy of your general passport;
• driver's license;
• SNILS insurance certificate.

In addition, when submitting papers for issuance of a cryptographic information card, you need to add documents such as:

• driver's individual taxpayer number;
• request from the transport company to issue this card for the driver.

All documents (copies) must be certified by the transport company by affixing its seals and the signature of the manager.

Card recovery options

In cases where the plastic carrier is lost, the MFC is ready to undertake its restoration.
The interested party will only need to submit a corresponding application within a week from the moment the card was stolen. It will take the same amount of time to restore it as in the case of initial registration: 15 working days + 2-3 days for shipping. Well, if real circumstances do not allow you to arrive at your destination in a timely manner and begin the procedure for restoring the plastic, then the motorist has every right to drive a vehicle across the territory of the Russian Federation without this plastic for as long as 15 days. True, there is such a condition: all this time, print out information from the tachograph every day.

Rights and obligations of the cardholder

Everyone knows that testimony from a tachograph can play an important role in court or in defending one’s own interests during proceedings with traffic police officers. Precisely because the owner of such a certificate (both European and Russian) is provided with certain rights and obligations. This list includes:

• The task of strict compliance with the laws of the Russian Federation and the requirements of the Eurozone;
• Regular use of the card and its presentation to traffic police officers or police;
• Each driver has only one tach card;
• The need to replace plastic in cases of personal data changes;
• The right to use exclusively your card, installed before the trip in the left slot of the tachograph.

The increased level of vehicle safety demonstrates how useful a device such as a tachograph is. This fact is justified by the following circumstances:

• Elimination of unauthorized travel on official transport;
• Traffic schedule optimization;
• Removing obstacles in crossing the borders of the Russian Federation and moving around European countries.

Precisely because there are no questions regarding fines due to the lack of such an information carrier, which are imposed on both the drivers themselves and the owners of vehicles.

What documents are needed to replace the card?

Today, the replacement of expired cards is carried out by the same organizations that issue them or restore them in case of loss. However, in order to receive a new document, it is not at all necessary to deactivate the old one.

In the absence of a special driver's card and tachograph, quite serious penalties are provided.

So, in addition to these actions, the driver is required to provide a similar package of documents, which is necessary to verify his personal data. When changing any personal data, the driver is obliged to take the initiative to replace the document in order to avoid various incidents that may arise directly during the check.

Important! Not only expired cards must be replaced, but also those documents that exhibit various malfunctions and have serious external defects.

Why are people refusing to receive a tachometer card?

Refusals to issue a tach card are quite rare, but possible. And this happens for the following reasons:

• The applicant’s presence within the Russian Federation is less than 185 days a year;
• Lack of application from the company owning the vehicle for which the appropriate plastic is required;
• Concealing the fact of having another tachograph card;
• Unpaid services for registration of plastic media (one hundred percent prepayment is required);
• Age discrepancy;
• Not a complete set of documents required to be presented to the MFC.

If the reason for the refusal is the last point, then the interested party will only need to deliver the specified papers and re-apply for this important plastic.
Thanks to obtaining this driver card using the MFC, it is possible to easily bypass the obstacle course in the form of a lot of hassle, lost time and nerve cells that are not restored. And in no case should you rely on the promises of companies that are random on the market for such services. The operating system of many of them leaves much to be desired. A completely different matter is the MFC, where there is an established system of work, and employees are responsible and armed with practical experience in solving the most complex problems.

List of documents for CV CIPF

To produce a driver card for a tachograph with a CIPF unit, the applicant is required to provide the following documents:

1. Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation
2. Driver's license
3. SNILS
4. TIN
5. Previous driver card for a tachograph with a CIPF unit (if renewed)
6. Driver photo

In order to avoid unnecessary questions from the manufacturer and inspection authorities, you must adhere to simple rules:

1. Documents must be in good condition, readable, legal
2. Copies of documents must be readable and certified in the following order: position, signature, transcript, seal, date
3. Copies of documents must be made only using a scanner (this is an electronic device that, by analyzing the image (text) of a document, creates its digital image). Photos of documents are not allowed!
4. Electronic document format - PDF

In reality, drivers and transport companies do not need this information. Operators who work with the tachograph card manufacturer (not for the first time) know the procedure for issuing cards (cards) used in digital control devices (tachographs) installed on vehicles. Accordingly, a self-respecting agent will not undertake to fill out an application and produce a driver card for a digital tachograph equipped with a CIPF unit using photographs of documents. The probability of failure in this case is high, and the deadlines affect the company’s reputation not only on the part of customers, but also on the part of the manufacturer.
