WHEN DOES THE LAST EXTENSION EXPIRE
On June 29, the last extensions related to the Covid emergency concerning documents and requirements for road circulation will end.
As specified in the Ministerial Circular No. 39841 documents expiring between January 31, 2020, and March 31, 2022 (the date of cessation of the state of health emergency) are extended until June 29, 2022, or until the ninetieth day following March 31, 2022.
Specific reference is made to Licenses, Cqc (driver qualification cards), and Cfp (professional training certificates) for the transport of dangerous goods: by June 29, all those expired between January 31, 2020, and March 31, 2022, must be renewed.
It is important to remember that this extension applied to licenses and Cqc issued in Italy, while documents for road circulation issued abroad had different deferrals provided at the community level, and all are now already expired.
SUMMARY OF EXPIRING EXTENSIONS:
- theory exam – those who submitted the application for obtaining a license from January 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, can take the test within 1 year (and not within six months) from the date of submission and acceptance of the application;
- pink sheets – documents expiring between January 31, 2020, and March 31, 2022, are extended until June 29, 2022, provided they have not already been renewed in validity;
- Licenses – Italian driving licenses expiring between January 31, 2020, and March 31, 2022, are valid until June 29, 2022. It is noted that the aforementioned extensions do not apply to the license as an identification document;
- CQC and professional qualification certificates – for circulation throughout the Italian territory, the validity of documents proving CQC qualification issued in Italy is extended until June 29, 2022;
- For the purpose of calculating the two-year period from the expiration of the driver qualification card, from which the obligation to take the restoration exam arises, the period between January 31, 2020, and March 31, 2022, is not taken into account. The holder of the CQC for whom the expiration of the aforementioned two-year term falls within the period between January 31, 2020, and March 31, 2022, may proceed to renew the CQC itself within 881 days following the expiration of the two years, without undergoing a restoration exam;
- other professional qualification certificates (KA, KB, certificate of suitability for driving trolleybuses, etc..) expiring between January 31, 2020, and March 31, 2022, retain their validity until June 29, 2022;
- initial qualification certificates or periodic training retain their validity until June 29, 2022;
- ADR certificates (professional training certificates for the transport of dangerous goods) retain their validity until June 29, 2022;
- health certificates:
– the certificates issued to drivers who have reached sixty-five years of age, to drive articulated lorries, and truck tractors remain valid until June 29, 2022. Until that date, drivers holding a category CE license who have turned sixty-five years old after January 31, 2020, may drive articulated lorries, and truck tractors even if they have not yet obtained the certification from the local medical commission.
– the certificates for drivers who have reached sixty years of age, to drive buses, trucks, articulated lorries, bendy buses, used for the transport of people remain valid until June 29, 2022. Until that date, drivers holding a category D1, D1E, D or DE license who have turned sixty years old after January 31, 2020, may drive buses, trucks, articulated lorries, bendy buses, used for the transport of people, even if they have not yet obtained the certification from the local medical commission.
