Who this service is for
This page is for holders of a Spanish licence who need to start the renewal process. The visit focuses on the medical examination related to renewal and explaining what happens afterwards.
If your licence was issued in another country and you want to use the exchange procedure, that is a different situation. Review the information about exchanging a foreign licence so that you do not mix the two processes.
What you can deal with during the visit
The examination assesses the psychophysical fitness relevant to the renewal process. Before attending, ask the centre to explain how the visit is carried out and what information you need to provide.
You can also clarify the scope of the service: if it includes a photograph, administration or any additional item, this must be explained for your case before you confirm. Do not assume the applicable fee or charges; request an up-to-date breakdown.

What to prepare before attending
Have your identification details and information about your current licence ready when requesting the visit. Explain whether there is any circumstance the centre should know about so it can tell you how to prepare.
The final document list may depend on your situation. The centre will confirm which originals or details you need to bring. To protect your privacy, contact the centre directly by the published telephone number, email or WhatsApp, and do not send copies of your DNI or clinical information through channels that have not been indicated.
The visit and subsequent steps
For a real appointment, contact the centre directly by the published telephone number, email or WhatsApp and agree a date and time. A request sent through this site is not by itself a confirmed appointment.
The examination, administration and receipt of the physical licence are different stages. When you finish, ask what documents you will receive and what the next step is. The definitive licence follows its own issue and delivery process, so the visit does not mean you will leave with the final physical licence.
Renewal and exchange are different
Renewal starts with a Spanish licence that needs to remain valid under the applicable procedure. Exchange starts with a foreign licence and may depend on the issuing country, the type of licence and the official conditions.
If you are unsure, tell the centre where your licence was issued and what you want to achieve. You can then receive information about the appropriate service without assuming that the medical certificate covers complete administrative processing.
Frequently asked questions
Will I leave with the final licence after the visit?
Do not assume that you will. The examination and delivery of the physical licence are separate stages. Ask what documents you will receive at the end and how processing continues.
Is the price the same in every case?
Request the fee applicable to your case and its breakdown. Charges and the scope of administration may vary, and no final price is published here.
What documents do I need to bring?
Have your identification details and those of your current licence available. The centre will confirm which original documents or information you need to present for your visit.
Can I request an appointment if my licence is foreign?
You can ask about your situation, but exchanging a foreign licence is a different service. State the issuing country so that you can be guided through the appropriate process.
