What type of change do you want to make
The process starts by identifying the detail you need to update and the reason. Planned enquiries include changing NIE to DNI after obtaining Spanish nationality and changing details after marriage or divorce.
Explain clearly what currently appears on your documents and what the licence should show. The assistance is limited to the process confirmed with you and does not automatically update details held by other bodies.
Scope and documentation
The centre can review the available process with you and confirm which originals or supporting evidence it needs to check. Documentation will depend on the requested change and the evidence supporting it.
Ask which part the centre handles, what you must submit and what outcome you will receive. Do not attach copies to the review form or send personal documentation before being given an appropriate channel. For a real appointment, use the published telephone number, email or WhatsApp directly.
- Identification of the detail you want to change.
- Confirmation of the supporting evidence relevant to your case.
- Separate explanation of the scope and cost of the assistance.
NIE to DNI, marriage or divorce
If you have obtained Spanish nationality and need the licence to change from details linked to your NIE to those of your DNI, say so at the first contact. The check will focus on the specific change you want reflected.
If your details changed after marriage or divorce, describe the change you need and the document proving it. Do not assume that a DGT process automatically updates records held by other bodies.
Steps in the process
First the change and documentation are clarified. Then the scope of the assistance, fees and any applicable charge are confirmed. Finally, the centre will explain what is submitted and which step should be expected from the official process.
For a real appointment, contact the centre directly by the published telephone number, email or WhatsApp and agree a date and time. Bring the documentation you were told to bring when attending the visit.
What you can expect
You can receive a practical explanation of the agreed process and the documentation to be reviewed. The update and its effects depend on the decision and systems of the competent administration.
If you need to change details with another body or obtain a new identity document, you will need to ask about that separately. Assistance under this service does not automatically include those actions.
Frequently asked questions
Is the change made with every public body?
No. Confirm the specific scope of the process with the DGT and ask separately about any update with other bodies.
What should I do if I have changed from NIE to DNI?
State that you have obtained Spanish nationality and want to update the licence details. The centre will confirm the documentation it needs to review.
Can I update details after getting married or divorced?
You can ask about the change you need reflected and provide the relevant supporting document. The centre will tell you the scope of the available process.
Should I bring the old and new documentation?
Explain your situation before the visit so that the centre can confirm which originals or supporting evidence it needs to check.
