Code 64.70 on driver’s license: what the restriction means for beginners.

According to inkorr.com: Citizens who receive their driver's license for the first time for two years often wonder about

code 64.70

, which is noted in the document. This mark does not limit the rights to operate a vehicle, but has its significance and operates according to current legislation. This was reported by the Main Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

What does the 64.70 mark mean

Code 64.70 in column 12 of the driver's license consists of two parts:

• 64 - indicates the speed limit specified by the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 340 of May 8, 1993;

• 70 - the maximum speed for beginners, which does not exceed 70 km/h.

Therefore, this code confirms that the driver has less than two years of experience and must adhere to the speed limit of up to 70 km/h, in accordance with paragraph 12.4 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine.

The mark does not introduce new rules, but only emphasizes existing ones. Its primary goal is to make the document more informative and align Ukrainian licenses with European standards.

Thanks to this mark:

• road safety is increased;

• police can instantly determine that the driver is a novice;

• a single European standard is maintained;

• reminds about the speed limit for beginners.

When the 64.70 mark is added to the driver's license

The mark 64.70 is automatically added during the issuance of the first license after passing the exams

at the Ministry of Internal Affairs service center

. Additional applications or documents are not required.

This restriction is only in effect during the first two years. After this period, the mark loses its validity, but remains in the document. To remove it, the license must be exchanged at the service center. After that, the speed limit is canceled, and the new license will be without code 64.70.

Earlier it was reported that Ukrainian drivers can quickly and easily

replace their driver's license

through the 'Diia' app in 20 seconds. Recently, over 350 thousand car owners have used this service, indicating its popularity.

Thus, the 64.70 mark is an important element for road safety and helps beginner drivers gain additional attention from other road users. This is a step towards systematizing the rules and improving the overall situation on the roads of Ukraine. Thanks to innovations such as the possibility of quickly replacing driver's licenses through the 'Diia' app, the process becomes even simpler and more convenient for users.
