Russia recognizes driver’s licenses only from countries where Russian is an official language, says Duma speaker

Russia recognizes driver’s licenses only from countries where Russian is an official language, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin stated.

“If an individual comes from a country where Russian is not an official language, their driver’s license cannot be considered valid in Russia. In such cases, the person must take an exam and obtain a Russian driver’s license,” Volodin said during a Duma plenary session.
