As Spain does not have a Provisional Licence system, the only person who can teach you to drive is a registered driving instructor.

A Spanish driving licence is the standard EU model: a plastic, credit card-sized permit with photograph.

Applicants for a Spanish driving permit or licence must be resident in Spain.

Documents needed:

A certificate of mental and physical fitness issued by the Authorised Drivers Check Centre with one photo. This certificate is valid for a period of 90 days

Application and application fee

Two passport-sized photographs (32 x 26 mm)

Photocopy (and original) of a Spanish residence permit (Residencia) or a copy of the passport along with the NIE number

Proof of address in Spain dated within 3 months (empadronamiento) available from the local Town Hall

Signed self-declaration in writing that there is not licence suspension that forbids the right to drive

Driving theory test in English

There are two parts to the test, one theoretical and one practical. Both must be passed for a driver to be considered competent.

Driving test in English

A set number of hours of training must be completed with a driving school. The practical test is taken in Spanish and a translator may accompany the person being examined. Some areas have English-speaking driving examiners – enquire if this is possible when first making an application to take the test.

The practical test is taken in a driving school (dual control) car and the driving instructor accompanies the examiner and person being tested. The examiner gives instructions in Spanish (or English if it’s been arranged in advance) to the driving student.
