For this purpose, at all border crossing stations of the country, the distribution of the special notifications in the form of booklets and posters drawn up in 5 languages has been launched by the Main State Road Police Department.

Since the traffic rule violations on the territory of Azerbaijan Republic are tracked by means of special technical facilities, the rendering of electronic decisions in regard to and in the absence of the persons having committed an administrative offence, the discount and the cancellation fee stipulated in legislation in regard to penalty payments, as well as the departure from Azerbaijan Republic of the foreigners and the persons without citizenship having committed an administrative offence on the territory of our country will be temporarily restricted beginning from February 13, 2020 until implementation of administrative disciplinary measures based on the requirements of clause 17.1.7 of Migration Code of Azerbaijan Republic.
