The appearance of the driver's license will not change dramatically, but a new mark will appear in the twelfth field on the back of the document, indicating the type of transmission of the vehicle used when taking the practical exam. Code "78" will be assigned to those who took the test in a car with an automatic transmission. At the same time, apparently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs considers any gearbox without a clutch pedal to be automatic, including robotic and CVT types. Subsequently, a driver with such a mark in field 12 will be entitled to drive only cars with automatic transmissions. If there is no mark, then there are no restrictions on the type of gearbox. Those motorists who received their licenses before these new designations were introduced are not subject to any restrictions.
From today, new driver's licenses will be issued in Ukraine
Starting December 29, the Ministry of Internal Affairs service centers begin issuing new-style driver's licenses to motorists.
