From January 1, 2026, driver’s licenses in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region will no longer be automatically renewed.
This was reported by pro-Russian media.
And from March 1, 2027, the occupiers say, driver’s licenses will be automatically annulled if a driver is found to have medical conditions that pose a danger to operating a vehicle.
“The validity period of driver’s licenses, excluding automatic renewal, is 10 years. Driving a car with expired licenses is punishable by an administrative fine of 5,000 to 15,000 rubles and vehicle towing”, – stated in the post.
Earlier we wrote that the occupation authorities obliged vehicle owners on the left bank of the Kherson region to, by January 1, 2026, replace registration documents and license plates with Russian ones.
