According to the Directorate General of Spanish Transport (DGT), holders of the Spanish driving license are authorized to drive in many countries without the need to obtain an international permit or take an additional procedure.
All the countries of the European Union and the European economic zone (Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, etc.), in addition to certain countries outside the European Union which are collected in bilateral agreement in Spain, such as: Switzerland UK, Andora and Morocco
In all these countries, the Spanish license is valid and valid without translation or additional procedures, which makes travel and driving more flexible and smooth for the Spanish citizen.
Under these agreements, Spanish citizens or Spanish residents are authorized to drive in Moroccan soil using their Spanish license only, without the need for additional documents, or even an international driving license.
These are not fines imposed, and they are not required to carry out transfer procedures, and their presence behind the steering wheel is not considered as contrary to the law.
This complete recognition of the Moroccan authorities reflects the level of confidence and mutual respect, and highlights Morocco’s desire to facilitate the movement of foreign visitors, in particular Spain.
On the other hand, thousands of Moroccans residing in Spain are faced with a completely different reality. Although Spanish are authorized to lead to Morocco without any condition, the Moroccan leadership license is not automatically recognized in Spain, except in limited cases.
Only those who obtained their Moroccan license before the date on which they obtained a legal residence in Spain can submit a request to replace it with its Spanish counterpart, according to bilateral agreements. As for those who obtained the Moroccan license after the residence or who were not transferred in time, their request is not accepted and their use of the Moroccan license is illegal.
The result? Hundreds of members of the community are surprised by leading with financial fines of up to 500 euros, and sometimes reserving the car, although they only use only an official document issued by their homeland, with which Spain establishes documentary cooperation relationships.
While Morocco automatically recognizes the Spanish leadership license, Spain does not do the same with the Moroccan license. This disparity raises fundamental questions about the extent of respect for the principle of reciprocity in bilateral relations, especially since this situation affects a sensitive social category like immigrants.
In light of this disparity, members of the Moroccan community residing in Spain express their deep dissatisfaction with the negative effects of this unbalanced agreement. Instead of facilitating their integration and daily movement, it turns into a pressure tool, which exposes them to legal and administrative fines and complications.
The community today calls, clearly and explicitly, apply the principle of reciprocity, as stipulated in international standards, especially since Morocco shows the good will and flexibility of Spanish drivers.
Persons affected do not require privileges, but only with fair treatment which preserves their dignity as legitimate citizens and residents, their transfers help support the mother’s economy and pay their taxes in the host state
