Exchange of foreign driving licence (DGT)
To swap your foreign driving licence for a Spanish one if you live in Spain and your country is exchangeable (UE/EEE, Reino Unido, Suiza or countries with an agreement). Useful so you don’t get stuck after the 6 months (non-UE) or if your licence expires.

- 1.Go to https://sede.dgt.gob.es/es/permisos-de-conducir/canje-permisos/ and check that your country is exchangeable and whether they ask for extra documents.
- 2.Identify yourself with Cl@ve or certificado and fill the canje application: your data, licence number, categories and address. Upload scans of the licence (front/back) and the required documents.
- 3.Get the psicotécnico at an authorised centre and note the report number; if you already have it, attach/declare it in the application.
- 4.Pay the DGT fee online on the sede (card or direct debit) when the file enables payment and keep the NRC.
- 5.Wait for DGT to contact you (email/SMS) with instructions: they may require you to go to Jefatura to hand in the original, sign, have photo taken and capture fingerprint/signature. Don’t book a generic appointment: they’ll summon you from the expediente.
- 6.Hand in the original licence on the day you’re called. Ask for a temporary driving authorisation if you need to drive; it’s valid only in Spain while they issue the Spanish licence.
- 7.Receive the Spanish licence by post at your address or see it in miDGT once issued. If they require tests (theory/practical) they will inform you and set a date.
