If you live in Spain and your license qualifies for exchange, Lakbyte can help you prepare the documents and manage the process with the DGT.
Includes Lakbyte’s driver’s license exchange service and the applicable DGT government fee.
Not included: Medical examination fee.
Complete the application form and tell us about your current driver’s license.
We provide your checklist and instructions for submitting the required documents.
Lakbyte prepares the application and coordinates the exchange process with the DGT.
Where required, the DGT confirms the validity of your license with the authority that issued it.
Once the requirements are satisfied, complete the final DGT steps and receive your Spanish driving authorization or license.
Spain allows residents to exchange licenses issued by EU/EEA countries and countries that have an applicable exchange agreement with Spain, subject to the requirements for that country and license category.
Some professional or heavy-vehicle license categories may require additional tests.
EU/EEA licenses follow the applicable EU/EEA exchange framework. The list below covers non-EU/EEA countries currently shown by the DGT as having an exchange agreement with Spain.
Eligibility depends on your license: the country that issued it, the license category, when it was obtained, and your residence status in Spain.
Having a license from an eligible country does not automatically guarantee that it can be exchanged.
The exchange process is generally available to residents in Spain who meet the applicable administrative requirements.
For many non-EU exchange agreements, a license obtained after becoming legally resident in Spain may not qualify, subject to the specific agreement and any exceptions.
Standard motorcycle and car categories often follow a simpler exchange process, while certain truck, bus, or professional categories may require additional testing.
Where a medical fitness report is required, it must be completed through an authorized medical center. The medical-center fee is not included in Lakbyte’s €150 service price.
For most eligible countries, no. Some license categories or country agreements may require additional testing.
Yes. The €150 flat fee already includes the applicable DGT government fees.
The medical exam is paid separately to an authorized medical center. We’ll help you find one nearby.
Processing times vary by Traffic Office and verification response times from your home country. Average: 1–3 months.
Tell us where your license was issued and a little about your situation. We’ll help you understand the next steps.
