According to the RA Law on Ensuring Road Traffic Safety, the driver of a mechanical vehicle is obliged to have:

Explanation

A driving licence and the registration documents for that particular vehicle.

The law requires only two things of the driver: a document proving that he himself is qualified to drive that class of vehicle, and a document proving that the vehicle itself is lawfully registered and permitted on the road. These two cover two separate subjects — the person and the car — and a roadside check needs nothing more.

An important point for immigrants: the requirement to carry a power of attorney for driving someone else's vehicle has been abolished. The logic is that ownership and registration can be checked in the police electronic system, and carrying the vehicle's registration document is itself taken as a sign of the owner's consent; an extra piece of paper added nothing to road safety. So if you drive a friend's or an employer's car, the registration document must be in the car, but no power of attorney is needed. Get into the habit of always keeping the registration document inside the vehicle — not at home — because at a checkpoint its absence is the driver's problem, not the owner's.

• Carrying a power of attorney is no longer a legal requirement; the driver's relationship with the owner is established through the registration document and the electronic system. • Since one of the listed items is not required, the "all of the listed documents" option cannot be correct either.
