In the case when a citizen of Russia plans to go abroad, it is necessary to change the certificate in accordance with the current procedure. In case of loss of rights, it is required to obtain a driver's license of a new type with the obligatory mark “Duplicate”, while the old one is invalid. In the process of obtaining a duplicate driver can be sent to re-certification of knowledge of traffic rules. The exceptions are fire, theft or other unforeseen incidents. Getting a driver's license is impossible without passing a medical examination.

In order to get the right to drive a car abroad, you will need to get a new IDP, because otherwise you will have to pay a significant fine. The traffic police are strongly advised to issue an international driver's license before being sent abroad. It should be understood that it is a translated version of Russian rights certified by special seals and without them is considered invalid.
The rules of the Vienna Convention do not apply in all states. For example, the USA, Australia and some other countries use their individual norms and laws. To lose a driver's license in case of gross violation of traffic rules can be absolutely in any country. In case of confiscation of rights in the territory of the former CIS, the term of deprivation will also extend within the territory of Russia. In all other countries, the international certificate is returned by the authorized body upon departure. In this case, they record information about the fact of the offense.
When traveling abroad for a long time, you should not forget about the established validity periods of the IDP. In standard cases, it is several months. After the expiration of this time, it will be necessary to apply for local rights, which will most likely require theoretical and practical exams. Our state sets this period at 60 days after receiving an official permit for permanent residence.
