Driver's medical certificate. What it is? When is it required? What is the procedure for receiving?

Medical certificate required:

When is a driver's license issued for the first time?
Obtaining rights after their deprivation
When changing your driver's license

A medical certificate is considered genuine for 2 years from the date of registration; for citizens with health limitations it is only 1 year.

Upon receipt of the certificate, you must submit the following package of documents:

Two photos
Passport or identity document
Military ID
Driver's license

Some citizens, who do not want to waste time or effort, go to private clinics and buy certificates stating that they are healthy.

We strongly advise against doing this, because you may be fined, your license may be confiscated, and you will no longer be able to use the vehicle. Also, you may face a six-month sentence or mandatory correctional labor.

All car owners undergo examinations every 2 years, regardless of gender, age, driving experience and type of car.

All vehicle owners at least once in their lives have encountered such a question as undergoing a medical examination to determine their fitness to drive a vehicle. A medical certificate for a driver’s license (or rather, obtaining it), at the same time, makes some citizens worry, since in the presence of certain diseases it may simply not be issued

Medical certificate for drivers - what kind of document is this?

A medical certificate for drivers is a document of strict accountability and is issued only to persons who may be allowed to drive a car. The Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, by its order No. 831n, approved a new form of medical certificate for drivers in 2010, and by order No. 302n fixed the validity period of the certificate - 2 years, regardless of age and gender.

The only exception is made for those who have health limitations: they must undergo a medical examination annually. Moreover, the same order established a list of diseases for each category of rights for which access to driving a vehicle is prohibited.

It is worth noting that in these two orders there is a clear tendency of the legislator to tighten the requirements in order to weed out drivers who can create emergency situations on the road. For example, if previously a diagnosis such as color vision impairment was allowed (albeit in milder forms), now you will no longer receive a certificate with such a verdict.

The next measure, demonstrating a more attentive approach to the fate of road users, provides for a fine of up to 3,000 rubles for entering incorrect information in a medical certificate. But that’s not all: for a fake medical certificate, liability comes under Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation

This article provides for the following sanctions:

restriction of freedom for up to 2 years;
forced labor for up to 2 years;
or arrest for up to 6 months.

This responsibility applies, as a rule, to medical workers who enter knowingly false information into the certificate form.

A citizen who receives a certificate knows that it is fake, but continues to use it, faces punishment in the form of:

a fine in the amount of 80,000 rubles or the total amount of income for 6 months,
compulsory work lasting from 480 hours;
correctional labor for up to 2 years;
or arrest for up to 6 months.

How is the medical examination carried out to obtain a medical certificate for drivers?

In order to receive a final medical report (medical certificate) that you are fit to drive a vehicle, you must undergo an appropriate medical examination.

In order to undergo a medical examination, you must have with you:

passport (or other identity document);
2 photos;
military ID (if you are liable for military service);
driver's license (if available).

With these documents, you go to any health care institution (and it can be either public or private) that has a license to issue the relevant certificates.

Procedure for undergoing a medical examination:

First you need to see a psychiatrist and a narcologist. As a rule, these specialists are located in separate dispensaries. Accordingly, the first thing you do is go there and receive a certificate stating that you are not registered.
After this, you return to the health care facility to see all other specialists: ophthalmologist, surgeon, neurologist, otolaryngologist.
Once they have made their verdict on whether you are healthy or have appropriate driving restrictions, you go to a GP. He summarizes and fills out his part of the certificate.
After that, you go down to the registry, put a stamp, pay for the services provided to you and go to get your license. It is worth noting that the regulatory legal act does not set a limit on the cost of a certificate for drivers. So far, only a methodology has been developed in accordance with which the cost of healthcare services is calculated.

However, not everyone is happy with this option, since passing specialists often takes a lot of time. Some people prefer another option: for a certain amount, “their people” in healthcare issue a medical certificate without the participation of the candidate for its receipt (in simpler terms, we are talking about buying a fake certificate). It seems simple, but everything has its consequences.

Firstly, without undergoing a proper medical examination, you will not learn about the state of your health, and accordingly, you will not know what diseases you have. As a result, you become a potentially dangerous car driver, since at any moment an unforeseen situation may arise when you cannot control your actions due to health problems.

Secondly, sooner or later you may be checked. For example, a traffic police officer will doubt your health and send you for an additional examination, during which it may turn out that the certificate was falsified. In this case, you too will bear responsibility, since you obviously knew about the forgery of the document, but continued to use it.

When might a medical certificate be needed for a driver's license?

Now let's figure out when such a medical certificate is needed:

when obtaining a driver's license for the first time (already at the stage of training at a driving school);
replacing a driver's license due to its expiration;
replacing a driver’s license due to life circumstances (for example, changing your last name);
replacement of driver's licenses in case of their loss or theft;
obtaining a driver's license after the end of the period for which the driver was deprived of it;
employment for a new job, if the employer wishes to check the professional suitability of the employee.

These are the main situations when we may need a certificate for a driver's license. In other cases, it will quietly lie among the other documents relating to the car, since a driver’s license is not a document that, according to paragraph 2.1.1 of the traffic rules, the traffic police inspector has the right to demand when stopping a vehicle. When passing a technical inspection, a certificate is also not required.

As you can see, it is required quite rarely, but this in no way means that a driver’s license needs to be obtained only once every 10 years, and for the rest of the time you can forget about its existence. Not at all. Order No. 302n of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation clearly states that medical certificates for drivers must be updated at least once every 2 years.

A medical certificate for a driver’s license is a document that confirms that the driver is allowed to drive a vehicle (in some cases with certain restrictions). If we look at this document in more detail, we can note that the certificate is a paper of strict accountability with a degree of protection against possible forgeries.

Medical certificate for a driver's license: in what cases is it required?

In paragraph 2.1.1 of the road traffic, which lists the documents that are required to be presented to a traffic police officer in the event of a vehicle stop, a medical certificate is not listed.

So, therefore, it is not needed at all? Needed. Let's figure out when exactly:

when obtaining a driver's license for the first time;
when obtaining a driver's license after the expiration of the period of deprivation;
when replacing a driver's license if it has expired.

When passing a technical inspection or concluding a vehicle insurance contract, as well as when replacing a license due to its deterioration, loss or change of last name (first name, other personal data), a certificate does not need to be provided.

The validity of the medical certificate is 2 years. This period does not change depending on age or gender. But if a citizen has certain contraindications for driving a vehicle, then he must undergo a medical examination once a year.

There is a fee for obtaining a medical certificate for a driver's license. Medical examination is paid. Moreover, the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation provide only a methodology for calculating the approximate cost of a medical examination - neither the upper nor the lower limits are specified. That is, each healthcare institution installs it independently.

Medical examination: is it really that scary?

So, in order to obtain a medical certificate for a driver's license, you must undergo a medical examination.

A medical examination can be completed at any health care institution that is licensed to issue such certificates. The form of the medical certificate is approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 831n.

The procedure for undergoing a medical examination is as follows:

First, the citizen goes to the drug treatment and psychoneurological dispensary for certificates stating that he is not registered there. As a rule, in large populated areas, a narcologist and a psychiatrist are located in separate health care institutions; but if we are talking about small regions, then their location within the same institution is quite acceptable.
After the certificates are received, we go to specialized specialists: a surgeon, otolaryngologist, ophthalmologist, neurologist, etc. Each of them puts his own conclusion, seal and signature on the certificate. If a candidate driver has any health limitations, then all this is recorded in the certificate.
The last person to be examined by a citizen is a therapist. He makes the final “conclusion”, determining whether the driver is fit to drive a vehicle or not.
According to the current order No. 831n, information about all issued certificates is entered into a special journal, which must be kept in a health care institution for at least 10 years.

When undergoing a medical examination, it is advisable to wear glasses or contacts, if you wear them. This is due to the fact that the doctor must know about all the special or auxiliary means that you use. Accordingly, he will check his vision with glasses or contacts. The diopters in glasses/lenses should not be less than -8 and more than +8, and the difference between the “eyes” should be no more than 3 diopters.

Regarding the medical examination, another interesting order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 320n. It contains a list of diseases for each category of license for which the driver cannot be allowed to drive a vehicle.

When studying this document, a logical question immediately arises: why did the legislator treat some diseases so “severely” by including all their forms as restrictions on driving a vehicle?

It's actually quite simple. This began in 2010, when the legislator systematically, in small but confident steps, tightened legislation that in one way or another related to traffic rules and road safety. For example, let’s take the Code of Administrative Offenses: a lot of innovations have appeared in terms of article sanctions; the minimum fine for violating traffic rules has increased to 500 rubles (previously it was 100 rubles).

Therefore, it turns out that all these documents are interconnected and aimed at solving one global problem: correcting the negative trends that have begun to appear in the field of road safety in the last decade.

Responsibility for issuing false certificates

If traffic police officers do not have the right to check driver’s licenses, then who and how can punish you?

Let's consider several options:

You get a new job, the employer fills out all the paperwork and explains to you that working as a driver requires a daily medical examination by a full-time medical worker before going on a trip. You agree and leave on your first day of work.

But the company’s medical worker is interested in something about the state of your health, and he does not agree to let you go on the flight, but sends you for an additional medical examination to the district clinic. This is where it turns out that you, for example, have vision problems that do not allow you to drive a car.

It turns out that your certificate is invalid? Actually this is not true. It is quite possible that a year ago you simply did not have such a disease, and the doctor who examined you did not notice anything wrong.

Or, for example, another situation:

You get into an accident and are the culprit. Upon investigation of all the circumstances of the case, it turns out that you, in fact, cannot drive a car, since you have a corresponding disease. We look at the medical certificate, and everything is fine there...

Responsibility for issuing a false medical certificate is provided for in Art. 327 of the Criminal Code. Moreover, this article extends its effect to those who issued this certificate (sanction - restriction of freedom for up to 3 years, or arrest for up to 6 months, or imprisonment for up to 2 years), and to those who, knowing that it is fake, continues to use it.

(sanction - a fine in the amount of up to 80,000 rubles or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to 6 months, or compulsory work for a period of 180 to 240 hours, or corrective labor for a period of up to 2 years, or arrest for a period of up to 6 months).

In addition, a medical worker who entered incorrect information into a certificate may be subject to a fine of 2,000 to 5,000 rubles.

IMPORTANT! Obtaining a medical certificate for a driver's license is mandatory for all drivers, regardless of what kind of car they have, driving experience, etc.

The presence of this certificate confirms that you are not a potentially dangerous subject for other road users when driving your car.

In no case should you think that the certificate needs to be replaced once every 10 years when changing your driver’s license. The validity of a medical certificate is 2 years, so try not to violate the requirements of the law, so as not to get into trouble later and become an unwitting culprit in an accident.

Medical certificate 2020. New medical certificate for the traffic police. Do I need a medical driver's certificate? Medical certificate to replace your driver's license. Sample medical certificate. What is the validity period of a medical certificate? Today we’ll talk about this.

A medical certificate is required to be submitted to the State Traffic Inspectorate. In 2020, several major changes were made to the medical certificate:

A medical certificate is excluded from the list of required documents when replacing rights due to loss or when changing a surname.
The procedure for drivers to obtain a medical certificate has changed.
The validity period of the medical certificate has changed.
There were also changes in the form and color of the form.

Let's start in order. In 2020, a new procedure for issuing and exchanging driver’s licenses was approved.

Medical certificate new rules

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 4, 2016 N 65 “On amendments to the Rules for conducting examinations for the right to drive a vehicle and issuing driver’s licenses,” a medical certificate is not needed in the following cases:

when changing your last name, first name or patronymic;
when replacing a lost or damaged ID;
when obtaining an international driving license.

A medical certificate is required in the following cases:

if you get your license for the first time (go to a driving school);
if your driver's license has expired (10 years);
if you have been deprived of your driver's license for driving while intoxicated and you need to get your license back.

Changes in the procedure for drivers to obtain a medical certificate dated March 26, 2020

Here, drivers and candidates for drivers of mass categories A and B will experience pleasant and useful (for the wallet) changes. To obtain a driver's medical certificate for categories A, B and M, you only need to see a general practitioner, ophthalmologist, psychiatrist and narcologist. The conclusion of a surgeon, neurologist and otolaryngologist is no longer required, as is expensive electroencephalography.

Medical examination and examination of drivers now takes place in a new way and includes examinations and examinations by specialist doctors, as well as instrumental and laboratory tests. During a medical examination, doctors fill out a medical record, not a certificate. And only after the driver (candidate driver) has passed through all the doctors on the list, the therapist will be able to fill out a medical certificate based on the medical record.

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation approved Order No. 344n (came into force on March 26, 2020).

According to this order, the procedure for conducting a medical examination of drivers of vehicles (TC) and candidate drivers (TC) has been changed.

Medical examination

Medical examination includes:

Examination by a general practitioner or examination by a general practitioner (family doctor). The general practitioner can refer any candidate to other specialists if he suspects relevant contraindications.
Examination by an ophthalmologist.
Examination by a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist can refer the driver for a detailed psychiatric examination
Examination by a psychiatrist-narcologist. The narcologist has the right to prescribe an additional urine test if he decides that a person frequently drinks alcohol.
Examination by a neurologist (mandatory for medical examination of vehicle drivers (candidate vehicle drivers) of categories “C”, “D”, “CE”, “DE”, “Tm”, “Tb” and subcategories “C1”, “D1” , "C1E", "D1E". For vehicle drivers (candidate vehicle drivers) of other categories and subcategories of vehicles, an examination by a neurologist is carried out on the direction of a general practitioner or general practitioner (family doctor) if symptoms and syndromes of the disease (condition) are identified ), which is a medical contraindication, medical indication or medical restriction to driving a vehicle).
Examination by an otorhinolaryngologist (for vehicle drivers (candidate vehicle drivers) of categories “C”, “D”, “CE”, “DE”, “Tm”, “Tb” and subcategories “C1”, “D1”, "C1E", "D1E".
Electroencephalography (required for medical examination of vehicle drivers (candidate vehicle drivers) of categories “C”, “D”, “CE”, “DE”, “Tm”, “Tb” and subcategories “C1”, “D1”, “ C1E", "D1E". For vehicle drivers (candidate vehicle drivers) of other categories and subcategories of vehicles upon the direction of a neurologist in case of detection of symptoms and syndromes of a disease (condition) that is a medical contraindication to driving a vehicle.
Determination of the presence of psychoactive substances in urine (if a psychiatrist-narcologist identifies symptoms and syndromes of a disease (condition) that is a medical contraindication to driving a vehicle).
Qualitative and quantitative determination of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) in blood serum (when a psychiatrist-narcologist identifies symptoms and syndromes of a disease (condition) that is a medical contraindication to the management of a vehicle).

For persons working as drivers

“When conducting a medical examination of persons working as drivers of vehicles (vehicles), the witness presents to the medical specialists specified in paragraph 6 of this Procedure a medical report issued based on the results of a mandatory periodic medical examination, containing information on the results of examinations by medical specialists, laboratory and instrumental studies provided for by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated April 12, 2011 N 302n “On approval of lists of harmful and (or) hazardous production factors and work, during the performance of which mandatory preliminary and periodic medical examinations (examinations) are carried out” and the procedure for conducting mandatory preliminary and periodic medical examinations (examinations) of workers engaged in heavy work and work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions.”

According to Order No. 344n, the number of specialists required to undergo examination is being reduced, and this list differs for different categories of rights. Now, to obtain a medical certificate for categories A, A1, B, BE, B1, M, you need to go through 4 mandatory doctors. Other inspections and examinations are carried out only if necessary. To obtain a certificate for categories C, CE, C1, C1E, D, DE, D1, D1E, Tm, Tb, you need to undergo 6 doctors and 1 examination (electroencephalography). Other examinations are optional.

There is no liability for refusal to undergo additional checks, but in case of refusal, the refusers will not receive a medical certificate.

Medical certificate, changes in validity period (expiration date)

From March 26, 2020, a medical certificate is issued for a period of 1 year from the date of issue (that is, it is valid for 12 months).

Composition of the medical commission

To obtain a certificate from the traffic police, the medical examination involves the following specialists:

ophthalmologist,
psychiatrist,
narcologist,
therapist.

Additional laboratory tests (for example, blood and urine for the content of narcotic substances and psychotropic drugs) are prescribed by a narcologist or psychiatrist at his own discretion. Truck and public transport drivers additionally need to undergo an examination by an otolaryngologist (ENT).

Changes in the medical certificate according to the form

From July 1, 2020, Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 344n in Russia, a new form (003-В/у) of a medical certificate for drivers is being introduced (a medical report on the presence or absence of medical contraindications, indications or restrictions for driving a vehicle in drivers and candidate drivers).

A certificate in form No. 003-В/у is required for drivers and candidates in cases where:

you need to pass exams at the traffic police to obtain a driver’s license for the first time;
you need to pass exams at the traffic police to upgrade the category of your driver's license;
You need to change your driver's license due to its expiration.

Validity of a medical certificate for a driver and its features

The certificate is valid for one calendar year, starting from the date of its issue. In the new medical certificate form, the period is not indicated on the form and does not in any way affect the validity of the driver's license, which is 10 years.

In addition, the medical certificate does not contain a photograph of the driver or candidate, which reduces the cost and speeds up the process of obtaining it.

The document is more compact in content compared to the old-style certificate. The fields filled in by medical specialists conducting a medical examination of the patient have been removed from it. Now doctors enter all these records into the patient’s medical record, which is entered upon his arrival for examination at a medical institution, and the certificate is issued by the general practitioner after receiving the conclusions of all the medical specialists indicated in the referral and the procedures based on their results.

It should be borne in mind that examinations by doctors - specialists in psychiatry and narcology will be valid only if they are carried out at the place of registration of the person. Usually these are state dispensaries in which personal records are kept of all citizens of the region who underwent inpatient or outpatient treatment in these institutions.

The presence of a registration mark in the passport or a separate certificate of temporary registration is an indispensable condition for undergoing examination at the dispensary. For this purpose, a column about the place of registration of the patient is included in the certificate. Examinations by doctors of other specialties can be carried out at any convenient medical institution in Russia.

The new sample medical certificate forms are documents of strict accounting and reporting and are protected from forgery by using special paper with a colored individual background.

The system for issuing certificates provides for a well-developed scheme of interaction between medical institutions licensed to provide these services with the traffic police in terms of prompt exchange of information on the results and timing of examinations of drivers.

The procedure for obtaining medical certificate 003-В/у

You need to understand that obtaining a medical certificate for a driver is a paid procedure. You will have to pay for it in any case, even if you receive it from a government agency. The cost of a medical certificate will vary from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles depending on the region and type of clinic.

To obtain a medical certificate in form 003-B/u you need to have with you:

personal passport (required);
old driver's license (if available);

The procedure for obtaining a certificate is as follows:

The client arrives at the medical facility and receives a certificate form and the patient’s medical record at the registration desk.
First of all, the client goes to see a therapist, who, based on the results of the examination and the category of rights, determines the list of specialist doctors and studies that the patient needs to undergo.
Here you can also undergo all other specialists and prescribed tests, with the exception of a psychotherapist and narcologist, who should be visited at specialized dispensaries at the place of registration.
In conclusion, the patient must return to the therapist with a medical record filled out by medical specialists and examination materials, based on the results of which the doctor fills out a certificate form, seals it with a signature and hands it to the client.

On March 31, 2014, the Law of December 28, 2013 No. 437-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Road Traffic Safety” and the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses on Medical Provision of Road Safety” comes into force.

Medical certificate form

The form is usually printed on special paper with watermarks, which indicates a high degree of security. The columns of the certificate are arranged in a certain sequence and correspond to the developed form (Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation B31) , and the color scheme depends on the design in the printing house .

Main design criteria:

The certificate is filled out with a ballpoint pen, including all columns.
Columns 1-6 contain factual information about the candidate and the medical institution.
The conclusion is written in column 7.
A photograph is pasted into the lower left corner and stamped on it. In the “Special Notes” column, control criteria are recorded: control is allowed only with contact lenses, glasses, with a special hearing aid, and others.
The certificate is signed by two doctors - members of the medical commission and the chairman, with the obligatory indication of last names and initials. In addition to signatures, doctors put their seals, if any.

Sample of filling out the front side of the honey. driver's certificates (front and back)

After March 31, 2014, issuing a certificate is impossible within the same clinic , or even a commercial clinic; obtaining a certificate and signature of a psychiatrist and psychiatrist-narcologist will need to be obtained from the relevant dispensaries (or state or municipal institutions with similar names). Usually, clinics immediately give the addresses of dispensaries.

Why do you need an official medical certificate form?

The form of a certain sample on special paper was created to reduce the number of counterfeits. After passing the medical commission, information about the candidate (or driver) is transferred to the traffic police.

The period for processing information is determined by law to be 7 days. With such a document transfer system, the traffic police clearly controls information about who, when and where issues certificates.

Each institution that issues certificates has a special “Registration Journal of Issued Medical Certificates”, registration form 036-10/u-10, numbered and laced. The magazine's shelf life is 10 years. Advanced healthcare institutions are permitted to maintain an electronic version of this journal.

How long are examination results valid?

In situations where an inspection has been started but not completed, it is advisable to meet certain deadlines for the inspections and tests taken.

Examinations by doctors are valid for 6 months, and test results are valid for only 20 days . It will not be possible to restore the results; if the deadline has passed, everything will have to be done again.

Validity period of the driver's medical certificate

The certificate in form 083/U-89 is limited in validity. Motorists are issued for a period of up to 3 years, women over 50 years old and men over 55 – for a period of 2 years.

Professional drivers are required to undergo a medical examination every two years, and if the driver is under 21 years old - every year.

In other words, the validity period of the certificate is not equal to the validity period of the rights, it is much shorter. The real consequences of an expired medical certificate may be cases of restoration of rights in the event of deprivation or loss.

Theoretically, an expired medical certificate for drivers is an administrative offense, and this may become a reason for appropriate punishment.

Of course, this situation is rare, but you should not rely on chance: a week before the certificate expires, it is better to go through the procedure for obtaining a new one.

Administrative liability under the new law of December 28, 2013 No. 437-FZ, which comes into force after March 31, 2014.

The law defines an administrative fine for illegal examination:

doctors of medical commissions can be fined from 1000 to 1500 rubles;
officials - from 2000 to 3000 rubles;
legal entities – from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles.
