What is a driver's license certificate?

A driver's license certificate is an official document that confirms the fact that a driver's license has been issued to a certain person. The document contains details about the date of issuance of the license, the category of vehicles that are allowed to be driven, and other important data. This document is an additional confirmation of the legitimacy of your driver's license and may be required for various legal actions abroad.

Who may need a certificate abroad and in what cases?

A driving license certificate may be required for:

● Renewal of a driver's license. If you are planning a long stay or moving to another country, you may need to replace your Ukrainian license with a local one. The certificate will confirm that your license is valid.

● Employment as a driver. Many foreign companies that hire drivers require proof of driving skills. The certificate will help to confirm the validity of your license.

● Car insurance. Some foreign insurance companies may require additional documents to confirm your driving history to avoid risks.

Car rental. When renting a car abroad for a long period of time, lessors may require not only an international driver's license, but also a certificate of its issuance for additional confirmation.

How do I get a certificate of driving license issuance in Ukraine?

To obtain a certificate, you need to contact the service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The procedure involves submitting documents such as your driver's license, passport, and identification code. The issuance time may vary depending on the region and the workload of the centers.

Why should you contact a lawyer?

The process of obtaining a driver's license certificate may be lengthy or require additional legal actions, especially if you are abroad and cannot personally visit a service center. In such cases, legal assistance can be very useful.

Lawyers can help you:

● Make a request. Lawyers know all the requirements and procedures, which will allow you to quickly and accurately submit a request for a certificate.

● Represent your interests. If you are abroad, specialists can represent your interests in Ukrainian state authorities and ensure that you receive the certificate without your personal presence.

● Certify documents. Lawyers can also ensure that documents are properly translated and notarized, which is necessary for their submission abroad.

● Advise on international requirements. Each country has its own legal peculiarities, and experts can advise on how to use the certificate in different cases.

A driver's license certificate is an important document for those who plan to renew their license, get a job or rent a car abroad. Proper paperwork and legal assistance can significantly reduce the time and avoid possible problems.
