When should I renew my driver's license?
Spanish legislation obliges you to renew your driving license once its validity period has expired.
Each Driving License has a validity period (see validity period).
The validity of the permits is conditioned on the fact that the holder has not totally lost his points and that he maintains the requirements demanded for its granting.
Likewise, the period of validity of the various types of permit may be reduced if, at the time of its granting or the extension of its validity, it is verified that its holder suffers from an illness or deficiency that, although at the moment it does not prevent it, is susceptible to aggravate.
Causes that prevent renewal:
a) The deprivation by judicial resolution of the right to drive motor vehicles and mopeds.
b) The intervention; precautionary measure or suspension of the permit or license, whether they have been agreed in judicial or administrative proceedings.
What is the validity period?
The class B permit is valid for 10 years up to the age of 65. From the age of 65 the validity is 5 years.
Permits of classes BTP, C1, C1 + E, C, C + E, D1, D1 + E, D and D + E: *Five years as long as the holder is not 65 years of age. *From the age of 65 the validity period will be three years.
Can I renew my card if it has already expired? And if many years ago?
The holder of the permit or license whose validity has expired, may obtain the extension, being exempted from taking the knowledge control tests and the aptitude and behavior control tests.
It does not matter how much time has elapsed since its expiration.
Currently it is possible to renew it without problems and without added costs.
I have vision problems and/or a chronic illness, can I renew my driving license?
Of course, but you must bring a report from your doctor or ophthalmologist attesting to your state of health/vision.
