Why is this important
Due to the short processing time of documents, about 130 thousand couriers and self-employed people are at risk of being left without legal working methods. Postponement can reduce social tension and simplify the transition to new rules.
What happened
- Until October 1, 2025, moped and scooter owners are required to obtain an “A” category driver’s license and undergo state registration.
- The deadline for state registration of old vehicles is September 30.
- The PDPU states that the established deadline is too short.
- The party emphasizes that many people are dependent on the income they receive from courier activities on mopeds and scooters, and demands to revise the terms and payments.
- The PDPU proposes: to postpone mandatory rules until 2026, to revise the amount of payment, as well as to send a deputy’s request to improve the standards.
What they say
It is noted that “in one day, hundreds of thousands of young people may be left without a source of income and without work”.
PDPU: “The government has indeed extended the deadlines, however… considering the large number of applicants, it is necessary to once again consider the feasibility of the requirements”.
Context
In April 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers extended the deadline from March 1 to October 1, 2025, for obtaining “A” category rights and registering mopeds/scooters. The decree approved the appearance of moped and scooter license plates, and liability for registration violations begins on October 1st. There are a significant number of people whose activities depend on the use of mopeds and scooters (couriers, etc.), which makes the issue socially significant.
