Interior Ministry Proposes Equating Digital Licenses in Max With Paper Documents

The draft enables verification through a Gosuslugi two-dimensional barcode.

Overview

  • The ministry published a draft government decree to add a footnote to traffic rule 2.1.1 that would treat digital presentation as equivalent to originals.
  • It covers driver’s licenses and vehicle registration certificates displayed in the Max multifunctional service.
  • The proposal is out for public consultation on the Unified Portal for draft regulations.
  • The explanatory note says the change requires no additional federal budget funds and no revisions to other legal acts.
  • Digital copies are already available in the Gosuslugi.Auto app, but drivers must still carry paper documents until the decree is approved.
