Foreign Driving Licence Exchange in Blanes and Lloret de Mar

To exchange a foreign driving licence for a Spanish one, three basic requirements must be met: the licence must have been obtained in the country of origin before establishing residency in Spain, the country of origin must have an exchange agreement with Spain's Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT), and the corresponding documentation must be submitted, which varies depending on the country of origin. At our agency in Blanes and Lloret de Mar, we advise you on exactly what documentation you need for your specific case and handle the entire process for you.

Processing time may vary depending on the documentation submitted, but the process is usually completed in less than a week.

You have six months from the date you obtain residency in Spain to exchange your driving licence. Once this period has passed without completing the process, you are no longer legally allowed to drive with your original country's licence. To avoid penalties, we recommend starting the exchange process as soon as possible.

Spain has a driving licence exchange agreement with a wide range of countries, including:Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, and UruguayEurope: Andorra, Georgia, North Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, the United Kingdom (for licences issued before Brexit), and SwitzerlandRest of the world: Algeria, South Korea, the Philippines, Japan, Morocco, and Tunisia. If your country isn't on the list or you're unsure whether your licence qualifies for exchange, contact us and we'll confirm it for you with no obligation.

Yes, we handle duplicates for lost, stolen or damaged cards. You just need to present your ID and a sworn declaration of loss or theft.

The cost of exchanging a driving licence varies depending on each case. For example, the process differs for a private individual versus a transport professional. That's why we offer a personalised, no-obligation quote in person at our agency, where we explain exactly what the service includes and which DGT fees apply to your case.

To register a new vehicle, we need the purchase invoice, the certificate of conformity (COC) and the buyer's documentation.

No, at our consulting firm you don't need to book a DGT appointment yourself. We handle the entire exchange process for you. Do keep in mind, however, that depending on your licence's country of origin, you may need to appear in person at the DGT once the process is complete (for example, to hand in your original licence). We'll let you know exactly when and where this is needed, if applicable.
