Traffic offices for exchanging a foreign driving licence

EU/EEA route: Bring the completed exchange application and its declarations, valid original identity evidence, proof of normal residence and the valid original foreign licence. EU citizens use the foreigner-registration certificate; non-EU citizens need a valid residence card. If DGT (Spain’s traffic authority) cannot verify your address electronically, provide the missing evidence. Prepare a recent colour photo measuring 32 × 26 mm, with a plain background and clearly visible face. Fee 2.3 is €28.87; check the amount when arranging the visit and bring its reference if prepaid. Counter payment is by card, not cash. Do not assume the provisional document permits driving outside Spain. Other agreement countries: obtain the appropriate authorised medical fitness report, prepare valid identity and residence evidence, the valid original licence and evidence of when the licence was obtained relative to residence in Spain. Country-specific certificates and tests may be needed. The fee category is 2.3 without additional tests or 2.1 with tests; use the applicable current amount. Upload legible documents, respond to requests for corrections and retain the receipt. Follow the office’s instructions for the final original-document handover. UK and Northern Ireland: obtain the appropriate DVLA or DVA check code and an authorised medical fitness report. Select the UK procedure in the digital exchange service and follow your selected office’s instructions for handing in the original. DGT says Gibraltar-issued licences do not require that check code. Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man licences are not eligible for this exchange route. The six-month driving limit is not a final application deadline: exchange can remain possible afterwards, but you must stop driving if your entitlement has ended. Ask DGT to assess agreement-specific residence/date conditions or an expired licence before applying.
