The 103 codes in field number 12 on the back of driving licenses make it mandatory for drivers to undergo medical check-ups at certain intervals. Drivers who do not renew their reports on time may face penalties and compensation risks. The validity period of medical reports can be checked in the "e-Signed Driver Reports" section on e-Devlet.
Driver's licenses contain information such as license class, date of issue, and validity period, as well as special codes that many people do not pay attention to. In particular, the health check codes in field number 12 on the back of the document determine the conditions under which drivers can use their licenses. These codes are of great importance for drivers who think that after obtaining their license, depending on its class, they do not need to take any action for up to 10 years.
CHECK FIELD NUMBER 12 ON YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE
According to NTV's report, the codes starting with 103 in section number 12 of driver's licenses indicate how often the health report must be renewed. Drivers with these codes must undergo a health check at the specified intervals, even if the general validity period of their documents has not yet expired.
The codes determining the health check periods are as follows:
- 103.01: Health check every three months
- 103.02: Health check every six months
- 103.03: Health check once a year
- 103.04: Health check every three years
- 103.05: Health check every five years
PENALTY WARNING FOR THOSE WHO MISS THE CHECK PERIOD
Drivers with one of these codes on their license must regularly monitor the validity period of their health reports. If the check date is missed, drivers may face sanctions during traffic inspections.
Drivers can check their health report information via e-Government. To do this, they need to type 'e-Signed Driver Reports' into the system's search section and review the existing report information through the relevant service.
HIGH COMPENSATION RISK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT
Failure to fulfill the health check obligation can create problems not only in terms of traffic inspections but also in terms of insurance procedures in possible accidents. The expiration of the health report can cause disputes under traffic insurance and comprehensive coverage, depending on the conditions of the accident and the provisions of the insurance contract.
In such cases, issues such as the insurance company's payment obligation or the recovery of the compensation paid from the driver may come up. Especially compensation claims that may arise in accidents with high material damage or injuries can lead to serious financial consequences for drivers.
HOW TO OBTAIN A NEW HEALTH REPORT?
Drivers whose license has a health check code and whose report has expired or is about to expire must apply to a family physician for a new health report. If deemed necessary, drivers can be referred to the relevant medical specialties for further evaluation.
To avoid inconvenience, it is important for drivers to check the codes on the back of their licenses, monitor their health report periods, and complete the necessary renewal procedures on time.
