Medical certificates for drivers are going digital

The AvtoVzglyad portal became aware that from March 1, 2024 it is planned to transfer the medical examination procedure for the right to drive a vehicle to a digital format. At least, Pavel Pugachev, Deputy Health Minister of Russia, talked about such plans.

Recall that the long saga with medical certificates to allow the driver to drive a car is very similar to what happened with the technical inspection procedure. The state waved to the global digital platform, then suddenly abandoned its own idea. The problem was that the shadow business in this area proved to be almost invincible, forcing initial ideas to be abandoned and half-measures left.

With medical certificates, the situation is almost the same. Where this initiative will eventually lead and how it will affect overall road safety is hard to say. But there is confidence that it will certainly not become cheaper and that we will also have to pay for its implementation. Now the service of obtaining a document will cost the driver about 3,300 rubles.
