Adiós al gran carnet de conducir: tus viejos documentos podrían ser confiscados en 2024

¿Sigues guardando en casa ese pesado carnet de conducir grande o el pequeño "técnico" en tu coche? Si crees que todo sigue igual, lamento decirte que te equivocas. A partir de 2024, los carnets de conducir grandes han sido anulados. Si aún lo tienes, es hora de saber si esto podría causarte problemas. El gobierno ha introducido un reemplazo, y aquí te explicamos qué debes hacer.

El gran cambio en tus documentos de coche

Desde hace tiempo, la rutina era clara: un gran carnet de conducir guardado en casa o en el garaje, y el pequeño, para mostrarlo a la policía en los controles de carretera. Pues bien, esa época ha terminado. Desde 2024, los carnets de conducir grandes han sido oficialmente eliminados. Si todavía conservas uno, te conviene saber si esto te puede acarrear problemas.

El "pequeño técnico" es el único protagonista

La nueva versión del llamado "pequeño técnico" (el certificado de registro del vehículo, o ORV) es ahora el único documento físico que recibirás para tu coche. Olvídate del carnet de conducir grande, ya no existe. A diferencia del antiguo, este nuevo certificado no contiene datos tan detallados sobre tu vehículo. Buscar dimensiones de neumáticos permitidas, propietarios anteriores o registros de inspecciones técnicas (ITV) será inútil en él.

Sin embargo, comparado con el antiguo "pequeño técnico", el actual ORV ha sido ampliado. En la parte trasera, encontrarás información como la cilindrada, la velocidad máxima, el consumo de combustible o la potencia máxima del motor.

¿Dónde encontrar los datos del viejo carnet grande?

La información que antes se registraba en el carnet de conducir grande no ha desaparecido, simplemente ha cambiado de formato. Desde 2024, si quieres estos datos, deberás buscarlos en línea, específicamente en el Portal de Transporte, gestionado por el Ministerio de Transporte.

También existe una aplicación oficial llamada eTechničák, disponible para descargar en Google Play y App Store. "La aplicación permite buscar datos técnicos del vehículo utilizando identificadores únicos como el código VIN, el certificado de registro del vehículo (ORV) o el número de carnet de conducir (TP). El certificado de registro del vehículo se puede escanear desde el código QR que figura en el carnet de conducir", informa el Ministerio de Transporte.

Pero cuidado, la aplicación no goza de muy buena reputación entre los usuarios. En Google Play, solo acumula tres estrellas de cinco, y en App Store, los usuarios de iPhone le han dado apenas 1.6 estrellas. "Después de la última actualización, la aplicación se cierra constantemente. Reiniciar el teléfono o desinstalarla y reinstalarla no soluciona nada. Una pena. ¿No se podría hacer algo al respecto? Y no me pregunten si tengo el último sistema operativo. Sí, lo tengo", critica un usuario.

"Para la administración pública, tendría más sentido tener todo en una sola aplicación, en lugar de eDoklad, eTechničák, Portál občana y lo demás. Entiendo que probablemente lo desarrollen diferentes empresas y ministerios, pero aun así, imagino que todo podría estar en una sola aplicación", se queja otro.

¿Qué pasa con mis antiguos documentos?

Si aún circulas con el antiguo "pequeño técnico" y sigues teniendo el carnet grande, no te preocupes por ahora. Ambos documentos siguen siendo válidos y no hay ninguna sanción por no haberlos canjeado aún.

The New Technical Certificate: What You Need to Know

The minister of transport and his advisors have confirmed that the significant technical identity cards are no longer valid. Therefore, if you still possess one, it will be revoked by the authorities. All this happened because of the new regulations that have been implemented for the year 2024.

The New Technical Certificate: What You Need to Know

The new version of the small technical certificate is the only physical proof of registration that you will receive for your vehicle today.

Forget the big technical certificate, it no longer exists. Unlike its predecessor, however, you won't find any detailed information on the new vehicle registration certificate.

• Tire and wheel dimensions
• Previous owners
• Completed inspections (ITV)
• Records of additional modifications

As you can see, these details will be absent from the new certificate.

Compared to the old small technical certificate, the current one does have slightly more data, especially on the back. It records information such as engine displacement, maximum speed, fuel consumption, or maximum engine power.

Where to Find Information from the Old Technical Certificate

The information that was previously recorded in the big technical certificate has not disappeared; it has simply changed its physical form.

Since 2024, you will no longer automatically receive this information in a physical format. To access it, you will need to go online, specifically to the Portal de Transporte, which is operated by the Ministry of Transport.

There is also an official application called eTechničák, available for download from Google Play and the App Store.

"The application allows you to search for technical vehicle data using unique identifiers such as the VIN code, vehicle registration certificate (ORV), or technical certificate number (TP). The vehicle registration certificate can be scanned from the QR code indicated on the technical certificate," states the Ministry of Transport.

User Criticism of the eTechničák App

However, the app does not receive the most flattering reviews from users. It has only gathered three stars out of five on Google Play, and iPhone users have awarded it a mere 1.6 stars out of five.

"After the latest update, the app constantly crashes. Even after restarting the phone or uninstalling and reinstalling the app, the situation remains the same. A shame. Couldn't something be done about it? And don't tell me to check if I have the latest operating system. Yes, I do," criticizes one user.

"For public administration, it would make more sense to have everything in one application, rather than having eDoklad, eTechničák, Portál občana, and so on. I understand that multiple companies and ministries are likely developing these, but even so, I can imagine having it all in one application," complains another.

What About Old Documents?

If you are still driving with the old small technical certificate and still have the large one, you don't need to worry for now. Both documents are still valid, and there is no penalty for not having exchanged them yet.

The next time you visit the authority's office, for example, when transferring a car to someone else, during an ITV inspection, or for any other reason, they will take your old technical certificates and issue you the new registration certificate.

"It's simple, the exchange of the technical certificate will take place during your first visit to the office for another matter; there is no need to go there specifically for this. Furthermore, the exchange will be gradual and will take several years. If a citizen does not make any changes, their current documents remain valid," explained František Jemelka, spokesperson for the Ministry of Transport.

The Advantage of the New Small Technical Certificate

What's great about the new vehicle registration certificate is that you no longer need to carry it in your car for inspections within the Czech Republic. Police officers will not ask for it during a traffic stop.

"The small technical certificate, the so-called vehicle registration certificate, does not need to be carried for roadside inspections or in case of an accident. Vehicle data will be retrieved directly from the vehicle registry. However, when visiting the ITV station, it is necessary to have the vehicle registration certificate with you at all times, which applies to both new ones and those issued before 2024," stated the ministry.

If you plan to travel abroad, however, be sure to bring your vehicle registration certificate with you.
