How to find out who issued a driver's license

The right to drive a vehicle must always be documented. Such a certificate is issued by specialized bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of residence of the driver. In most cases, this document already contains all the necessary data that may well be needed by the traffic police inspector who stopped the driver on the road due to some kind of violation or by the driver himself. Relative difficulties can arise only in the situation when it is required to find out who issued the driver's license, especially given that the format of this entry has been slightly changed quite recently.

The coding of traffic police units on the rights of a new sample

A driver's license always contains data on the inspection that issued the rights. On obsolete rights, this information occupied a lot of space. Modernized documents are made on a plastic basis, where optical-electronic means are widely used for reliable photo-identification. Such a certificate is much smaller, which means that the entire name of the inspectorate that issued it simply does not physically fit on it. Given this small nuance, specialists have created a system for encoding the names of traffic police units, which facilitates the procedure for reading and displaying the necessary information.

Now, the driver can always see who exactly issued the driver's license on the traffic police website. Information about who exactly issued the driver's license is on the front side of the document. It looks like four numbers, in which:

  • 2 digits at the beginning - the code of the inspection that issued the rights;
  • 2 digits at the end - the personal code of the employee who issued the rights.

Each employee and each unit that is engaged in issuing certificates has a similar encoding.

Where is the information on the rights of a new sample about who issued the rights

This encrypted information is placed on the front side of the driver's license, namely in paragraph 4c. It looks like a 4 digit code.

Who issued the old-style driver's license

On the rights of the old model, the situation is more accessible and much simpler. All the necessary information about the inspection is contained in the “issued” column. For example, the traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs-ATC Veliky Novgorod.
