You must change your driver's license if:

1. your driver's license has expired;
2. last name, first name or patronymic have changed;
3. the driver’s license has become unusable (some elements are visually unreadable);
4. the driver's license is lost or stolen;

It is also now possible to replace rights at will. For example, you think that the photo needs to be replaced or the rights have already become worn out.

Let's look into the details.

Why is it more convenient to change rights this way?

The service has several advantages in terms of issuing the driver’s main document.

• Any motorist will spend much less time registering and visiting the official website than directly contacting the traffic police. This way you can avoid live queues.
• When recording data electronically, there is much less chance of making a mistake, which is important. Because even with the slightest mistake, the design will have to start all over again. On the portal, the vehicle owner fills out all the necessary forms with his own hands, which reduces the risk of errors.
• Attractive discount system. For example, before the end of 2020, when receiving electronic services, you can take advantage of a good discount of 30%.

Note to all drivers. Due to the global pandemic and the introduction of self-isolation in 2020, there is an automatic renewal of the document for driving a vehicle. If it expires between 1.02. until 15.07., personal re-registration will not be required. After the expiration of the period of use, the license will be extended automatically. Additional details can be found on specialized traffic police websites.

Instructions: how to change your license (driver’s license) through State Services

First of all, you must register on the portal. If registration has been completed initially, you just need to log in to the resource using your username and password.

The process is not particularly difficult; if you have any questions, you can use the “tips” right on the site.

• After logging into your personal account, click on the “Ministry of Internal Affairs” button and go to the subsection “Obtaining a license to drive a vehicle.” A block with services will appear in front of you.

• Select the one you need – “Change of rights in State Services...”. In this case, the ellipsis means a specific explanation of why you want to change the driver’s main document. Click on the position that corresponds to your situation: “expiration of validity period”, “change of personal information about the owner of the vehicle”, etc.

• Now look at the right side of the display. Find the “Get a service” section there and activate it. The system will put you in standby mode (think for a while), and then display a page on which you need to fill out an application.

Filling out an application for a replacement driver's license through State Services

Information must be entered step by step on the portal web page. These include: personal data, passport and address information. The site provides for the entry of all of the above automatically, but everything should be checked carefully. If an error is found, the form will need to be corrected.

At the next stage, it is necessary to indicate what caused the re-registration. To do this, click on the “End of validity” position.

Next, the motorist is asked to fill out a medical certificate block.

When filling out, please note that the subsection implies the ability to mark all driver categories that are open in the medical document. This list does not always coincide with those prescribed in the VU.

When understanding the instructions and answering the question of how to replace your license through State Services, remember that the medical form for a driver’s license issued in 2020 is valid for only 1 year. At the time of contacting the traffic police department, it must be valid.

In the next section you will need to enter information from a previous document that is no longer valid.

The number and series in current versions are displayed on the back at the very bottom. Previously they were presented on the front part. The date of receipt can be seen in section 4a, the issuing state is the Russian Federation.

When applying for a driver's license through an electronic resource, most motorists invariably stumble over the “Issue by whom” item. Currently, 2008 samples are subject to exchange of rights at State Services. At that time, the insidious position simply did not exist. Therefore, when carrying out actions through the state portal, it must be skipped.

Modern versions do not cause inconvenience to vehicle owners in this regard. All necessary information about the traffic police department is indicated in subparagraph 4c.

In addition to the above, you must put marks next to the categories that were listed in the previous document.

Finally, the car owner needs to decide where he will receive the driver’s license and when exactly.

The unit itself can be selected from the map.

Afterwards it will not be difficult to make an appointment. Please be aware that upcoming dates may already be booked. In this situation, you have to consider alternative options and choose the most suitable one. You can also look for another branch.

According to the step-by-step instructions for replacing rights through State Services, after completing all the manipulations, all that remains is to check the box at the very end of the form, indicating your consent to provide information for subsequent processing.

How to pay the state fee

This can be done only after completing the application and its subsequent submission. Without this, the payment will not be processed.

Motorists who decide to use the official electronic resource are given the following payment options:

• by using a bank card;
• special network wallet Webmoney;
• via a mobile communication device.

How much does it cost to exchange and renew a driver’s license through State Services?

If you can receive a form and fill out an application online on a specialized government website, then the document is issued in person only at the inspection department. For the provision of services, the state charges a fee, the amount of which may vary.

In 2020, if personal data is changed, the payment made through an electronic resource is 1.4 thousand rubles. Moreover, if the previous version of the document could be used for a certain period of time (for example, 7 years), then a new copy is issued for the same period.

While figuring out step by step how to change rights on State Services, you should not forget about such an important point as payment details. It is worth noting that in any situation (except for the expiration of the validity period), a new certificate is given for the time remaining until the end of the 10-year period of use.

For any form of payment, except for the traffic police cash desk, you need to know the bank details. They are needed to transfer funds to the account of a government organization. You can find them on the department’s information board or official Internet resource.

To obtain information in the “Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs” subsection, a number of sequential actions are performed:

• select the item “For citizens”;
• find the “Services” item in the proposed menu block;
• click on the section “State Traffic Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs”;
• activate the “Receive and Replace” button;
• go to “Branch addresses and state duty details”.

When making a payment through a terminal, information is entered automatically when you select the desired department.

Replacement nuances

It would be wrong to think that if there are small cracks on the belt, it will quickly break. Such a belt can last several thousand kilometers; there are strong cord fibers inside it. They serve to increase the strength of the product under loads during operation and service life.

The timing belt tension may weaken due to wear if the engine does not have an automatic tensioner. This can be felt by the dynamics of the car - the engine noise will increase, it will become more difficult to start it.

Car repair specialists recommend changing the timing belt together with the tension pulley and water pump.

If you do all this separately, it will cost more, but joint repair and replacement will be cheaper. Repair kits can be found on sale. The kit usually includes a timing belt, pump and tension pulley. For example, such kits can be easily purchased for VAZ Lada Vesta, Kalina or Granta cars.

For some car brands, reinforced timing belts are produced that have an increased service life. If you start repairing your car, change the drive belts for the air conditioner (if equipped) and alternator.

It’s rare that a car owner has not heard of the devastating consequences of a broken timing belt. The valves “fall” into the cylinders and break the pistons at top dead center. Sometimes, after this breakdown, the engine cannot be restored, or the repair involves such high costs that it is simply abandoned in favor of a contract engine. How often or after how many kilometers the timing belt needs to be changed, as well as how to evaluate its safe life, we will figure it out together with the specialists of the Auto-Master service.

Deadlines for replacing rights through State Services

The opportunity to pay from a wallet or card is provided only after submitting an online application for services. There must be sufficient funds in the account. Payment through the branch's cash desk also implies payment after filling out the form. We should not forget that traffic police terminals only accept cash - you cannot pay with a card.

The most important difference is the difference in cost of different design methods. In the department you will have to pay 2 thousand rubles, and through the online platform only 1.4 thousand. The 30% benefit is provided exclusively on the website. There is no other way to get a discount. That is why, when preparing step-by-step for replacing a driver’s license through the State Services portal, it turns out that this is not only convenient, but also very profitable.

The registration time largely depends on the owner of the vehicle. If you contact the department, the entire procedure will take no more than one day. Of course, provided that the car owner has taken care of preparing the necessary documents in advance. The duration mainly depends on how long you have to wait in line.

In it, the inspector will check the papers provided to him, take a photograph of the car owner and receive his signature. All manipulations will take no more than an hour. You can save significant time only by writing an application through the online portal.

Replacement through the MFC may take about five days. The only advantage of registration using this method is that there is no need to go to the state inspection department.

When to replace

Many car owners ask, how long does it take to change the timing belt? On many modern cars, when the belt breaks, the valves bend. Then you have to send the car for repairs and pay a lot of money for it. Therefore, the condition of this elastic and important engine element must be monitored and replaced on time.

Repair specialists at car service centers recommend replacing the timing belt after a mileage of no more than 50 thousand kilometers.

The frequency of this important operation depends on the make of the car, which is indicated in the technical equipment passport.

If you don't know when the last replacement was done, open the cover that covers the belt. Look at the condition of the belt. If signs of wear, cracks, pieces of cord and other damage are visible, the timing belt must be changed urgently.

Manufacturers of foreign cars recommend changing belts after 120 thousand km. And official dealers at car dealerships strongly advise making a replacement at 90 thousand kilometers. This is due to difficult road conditions.

Visit to the traffic police department

Those who have completed the procedure for exchanging rights through the State Services portal should come to the selected unit after some time. You must have all the necessary papers with you. Try to show up a little earlier than the appointed time - according to the electronic queue code sent in advance.

Wait until you are invited to the office. Depending on the number of people and the workload of the staff, the waiting time can be up to half an hour.

Required documents

When planning a visit to the traffic police, you need to have on hand:

• passport;
• medical certificate;
• former VU.

The application is submitted online, so there is no need for a printed version. Presentation of a receipt for payment of the state duty is also not provided. However, just in case, take it with you too.

Is it possible to change rights in the MFC?

We figured out how to apply for a replacement driver’s license through State Services. But this is also allowed in the Multifunctional Center. To do this you will need:

• obtain the opinion of the medical commission at the place of registration;
• choose the best branch option and make an appointment (get in line using a special terminal located on the territory of the institution);
• present to the employee all required papers.

When deciding on a department, do not forget that this method of receipt will indeed save you from long waits in queues, but the issuing process itself will take 5-7 days.

An expired driver's license is fraught with a fine ranging from 5 to 15 thousand rubles. To prevent this from happening, it is better to take care of re-issuing the document in advance - six months before the end of the term, you can begin to act.

How often do you need to change spark plugs?

p, blockquote 12,0,0,0,0 –>

Each manufacturer indicates the period or mileage of trouble-free operation of spark plugs. This period is calculated for engines with a service life of no more than five years. If the car is equipped with an older engine, the service life (mileage) of the spark plugs is reduced.

p, blockquote 13,0,0,0,0 –>

There is no clear gradation of mileage and timing for replacing spark plugs. Experienced car enthusiasts consider it correct to carry out a technical inspection and replace them before the start of each autumn-winter season of operation. If the car is not used in the cold season, it is rational to check and replace them in the spring.

Based on the car's mileage, spark plugs should be replaced after 15 - 20 thousand kilometers. Iridium and platinum spark plugs can easily withstand mileage of 100,000 km or more, but this is also with a relatively new engine.

Do I need to take an exam when exchanging rights after 10 years?

Some car owners who are not properly informed mistakenly believe that this is a mandatory condition for changing their license. Not really. The legislation does not provide for the obligation of drivers to retake traffic rules.

However, you should know that you will have to undergo a medical examination again in any case. Without this it is not possible. Therefore, the motorist will need to visit several doctors: a psychiatrist, a narcologist, an ophthalmologist, and a therapist. It is they who will subsequently issue conclusions whether a person is fit to drive a vehicle or not.

Recently, cases of purchasing certificates without passing a commission have become more frequent, which is a gross violation of the law. The traffic police is trying to stop such fraud. Therefore, do not be tempted to avoid going to the medical staff, think about the consequences:

• physicians who issue false certificates face administrative liability;
• those who use illegal services face heavy fines.

The situation is quite tough, it’s definitely not worth the risk. After all, by becoming a participant in fraudulent activities, you knowingly violate the provisions on the rules for using and managing a technical device.

Frequency of changing spark plugs

When thinking about how often you need to change spark plugs, experts recommend that you first study the car manufacturer’s requirements specified in the manual. It is clarified here that planned replacement should be carried out during periodic vehicle maintenance, every 15,000 km.

Factors that determine the frequency of maintenance:

1. Design type - there are two-electrode standard designs, where in addition to the central one, only one side electrode is used, which causes accelerated burnout. Multi-electrode models are more durable, because there are several side electrodes.
2. Types of spark plugs - conventional models are made with steel electrodes. Their service life reaches 30,000 km. For small cars, other recommendations apply - the change should be made after covering 7,000–10,000 km. If the car is equipped with iridium spark plugs, the service interval reaches 100,000 km. Plasma-prechamber - today it is considered a new type of spark plug, where there is no side electrode; its role is played by the body, which determines better self-cleaning and a longer service life.
3. Operating conditions - refueling with low-quality fuel, engine malfunctions, excessive loads, aggressive driving style - all this leads to accelerated wear of the structure; replacement will be required 2-3 times faster.

Important:

If the question arises when to change the spark plugs, and the last service date is unknown, it is better not to postpone the procedure, even if there are no outward signs of damage.

Why you shouldn’t neglect maintenance intervals:

• Wear of spark plugs is accompanied by a loss of the original characteristics of the car, quality and operating comfort deteriorate;
• The composition of the exhaust changes, reducing the environmental friendliness of the vehicle;
• There is a possibility of damage to the fuel system, which will require expensive repairs;
• One of the most dangerous situations is detonation of the air-fuel composition in the combustion chamber due to untimely, disrupted spark supply. This creates a strong shock wave that can cause considerable damage to the crankshaft, connecting rod, and piston. Such a flaw is indicated by the appearance of loud metallic noise, black exhaust, and loss of engine performance.

It is easy to determine the need for an immediate replacement by paying attention to the quality of engine operation and the kilometers traveled.

What consequences are possible for delay?

There is no specific period within which the old document must be exchanged for a new one.

Thus, if the time of use has expired, but you are not driving the vehicle, and the right to drive is quietly gathering dust on a shelf in the closet, the owner will not face any punishment. But when a motorist, after the expiration of the driving license, gets behind the wheel of a car and is stopped by an inspector, penalties cannot be avoided. The violator faces a fine of 5 to 15 thousand rubles. The car will be transported to the impound lot.

In conclusion, it should be noted once again that every car owner needs to know how to change rights through State Services. This registration method helps save not only time, but also money for the vehicle owner.

What should a person do for his professional development?

This item includes not only basic advanced training, taking additional courses and other types of improving professional knowledge. Here, the internal position of the candidate is important for HR specialists. Know-it-all behavior is, as a rule, almost always a losing proposition, experts say. “If suddenly during an interview I hear a person tell me: “You know, I’ve been working in this field for so many years that I know I won’t hear anything new,” then I understand that he has stagnated as an employee. He is not interested or curious about anything. I believe every candidate should take into account that there is always more to learn. of Socrates works well here : “I know that I know nothing,” says Metyagina.

You should not consider having additional certificates of additional education as an advantage. This is also not an indicator of high professionalism for HR managers. “I am very skeptical about modern courses and crusts, because often they are a kind of visualized image of what is really there. I am more impressed by the deep knowledge of professional literature and the ability to find primary sources. There must be mandatory updating of information across the entire professional field in order to be aware of all changes,” says Metyagina.
