Drivers nationals of countries linked to Spain by a bilateral agreement of mutual recognition of driving licenses, including Morocco, can now apply for an online driving license, announced the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) on Tuesday.
The DGT underlines that this type of procedure is among the most complex in the administrative field linked to driving, due to the necessary verifications to the authorities of origin, the presentation of a medical certificate, the justification of the residence in Spain, and, in the case of professional permits, success in an additional examination.
Until now, the exchange of permit with third countries has required users to make a face-to-face appointment in the provincial offices of the DGT, an approach often perceived as binding.
In a press release, the Spanish road administration indicates that it has set up a new fully dematerialized system, aimed at simplifying the procedure and improving the efficiency of the public service for the benefit of nationals of countries that signed a bilateral recognition and permit exchange agreement with Spain.
Thanks to this new modality, the persons concerned no longer need to make an appointment, since they will receive all the necessary information as electronic.
