As the head of the traffic police of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Chernikov, said in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the pilot operation of the program, which allows drivers to use their smartphone instead of a driver’s license, was successfully carried out. The application, developed by the Ministry of Digital Development, downloads from the service “Gosuslugi. Car” STS data, as well as an extract with information about the driver, which allows you to demonstrate it to the traffic police inspectors directly from the screen of the “mobile phone”.

Meanwhile, this way of using a “driver’s license” is still not enshrined in the Rules of the Road (SDA), and traffic police officers often ask drivers for an ordinary plastic ID. In case of absence, in accordance with article 12.3. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the driver may be fined 500 rubles.

As Mikhail Chernikov said, work is already underway to adopt the draft resolution of the Russian government “on changing the traffic rules” to legalize “electronic rights”. If accepted, the driver will be able to store plastic VU and STS at home and use only a smartphone.
