According to this decree, starting from January 15 of the current year, a temporary campaign will be launched in Kyrgyzstan, within which drivers will be able to replace their old licenses for free with new ones that meet established standards.
The duration of the campaign will be determined until the authorized state body makes a decision to conclude it, as stated in the document.
The organizer of this campaign is the State Center for the Registration of Vehicles and Drivers under the Office of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The Cabinet of Ministers has been tasked with developing the necessary measures for the implementation of the decree within two months. Oversight of the execution of tasks has been assigned to the office for monitoring the implementation of the president's and cabinet's decisions in the administration of the president of the Kyrgyz Republic.
