Ukrainians with driver's licenses issued before 2013 need to urgently replace their licenses: reason

Exchange of driver's licenses is possible at any MVS service center, regardless of the place of registration. To avoid queues, it is better to register in advance via the MVS website in the 'E-registration' section or use the terminal at the service center. Experts recommend choosing the online registration option since there may be many people during peak hours.

According to information from the source 'Khvylia', more and more Ukrainian drivers are facing the problem that their old driver's licenses do not appear in the 'Diia' app and in the online cabinet. This problem especially concerns laminated licenses issued before 2013. These documents cannot be scanned using modern systems, so it is necessary to replace the paper version with a plastic one to create their electronic equivalent.

To exchange driver's licenses, one must have their passport, identification code, old driver's license, and, if necessary, documents for changing personal data. A medical certificate is currently not required due to martial law.

The new licenses are issued on the day of application, and the photo is taken for free on the spot. The fee for the service is 572 UAH, plus a bank commission.

After receiving the new plastic driver's license, the information will automatically appear in the 'Diia' app and in the online driver's cabinet. This has simplified checks on the roads and the process of obtaining insurance.

Experts recommend not to delay the exchange. In case of loss or the need for quick confirmation of the right to drive, having an electronic version can avoid serious problems. Additionally, the digital version of the document facilitates interaction with state services and insurers.

Common mistakes when exchanging licenses and how to avoid them:

• Necessary documents. It is important to have all required papers and to check the list in advance.
• Incorrect queue registration. It is important to select the correct service to avoid refusal of service.
• Being late for an appointment. It is important to arrive early to not miss your slot.
• Calculating on the terminal at the service center. It is better to book a time online in advance.
• Unpaid commissions. It is important to clarify the total payment amount.

For a quick and smooth exchange of licenses, experts recommend preparing in advance.
