Drivers with old licenses blocked from accessing 'Diia': what to do.

According to information from the source 'Khvylia', more and more Ukrainian drivers are facing the problem that their old driving licenses are not displayed in the 'Diia' app and in the online cabinet. This issue particularly affects laminated licenses issued before 2013. These documents cannot be read by modern systems, so it is necessary to replace the paper version with a plastic one to create their electronic counterpart.

Procedure for exchanging driving licenses

According to inkorr.com: Exchanging driving licenses is possible at any MIA service center, regardless of the place of registration. To avoid queues, it is better to pre-register through the MIA website in the 'E-registration' section or use a terminal at the service center. Experts recommend choosing the online registration option, as there may be many people during peak hours.

To exchange driving licenses, you need to have with you a passport, identification code, old driving license, and, if necessary, documents for changing personal data. A medical certificate is currently not required due to the martial law.

New licenses are issued on the day of application, and photos are taken for free on-site. The service fee is 572 UAH, plus a bank commission.

After receiving the new plastic licenses, the information will automatically appear in the 'Diia' app and the driver's online cabinet. This has simplified checks on the roads and processing of insurances.

Experts remind that one should not procrastinate with the exchange. In case of loss or the need for quick confirmation of driving rights, having an electronic version can prevent serious problems. In addition, the digital version of the document facilitates interaction with government services and insurers.

Common mistakes when exchanging licenses and how to avoid them:

• Necessary documents. It is important to have all the required papers and check the list in advance.
• Incorrect registration in the queue. It is necessary to choose the correct service to avoid refusal of service.
• Late arrival for the appointment. It is recommended to arrive in advance not to miss your slot.
• Relying on terminal payments at the service center. It is better to book a time online in advance.
• Unpaid fees. It is important to clarify the final payment amount.

For a quick and hassle-free exchange of licenses, experts recommend preparing in advance.
