Spanish driving licence renewal

[loslobos]

Hi, please can you tell me if I need to download the forms from traffico website or do they provide them at the centre, we are thinking of going to Clinica Rincon in Torre del mar, so any advice greatly received. Also do the prices differ greatly from centre to centre do you know. Thanks

If the Clinic is registered to do medicals it will now do the whole thing, and issue you with a temporary licence. They do everything on-line and you will get your licence in the post at your registered address in a few weeks. In our case "not" as we only have an AP address and they simply will not send to a postal box, even tho' it is in effect a government office

It's the same with us but luckily the post office guy is not a jobsworth and puts any mail addressed to out campo address in the PO Box. In fact if it has our name on it irrespective of the address he does it. And no, we don't pay a fee for both of us which we are supposed to do.

A decent bottle of wine at Xmas always helps!

We had a nice lady assistant in the PO who would always do that for us. but she got fed up with the miserable old git that runs it and has left, we are trying to train the new lass, fingers crossed!

Loslobos. If it is a licence renewal you are doing then just take your old licence. Clinica Rincon in Torre del Mar is a registered centre.

Thanks Campo Steve...all sorted, we went on the 5th and new licenses arrived today Just one word of advice for anyone else, we also needed our passports for id so if you are going don't forget to take them with you. But as everyone else has said, its a very easy experience and the young girl who did ours at Clinica Rincon was great.

Does anyone know how the licences sent out to those who only have an AP address,Mand a non helpful post office staff who only put things in AP box that has correct Po box number on it?.....

DGT will not accept an Apartado de Correos as an address and, as you say, Correos will not put anything in your box unless it has the apartado on it.

The way around this is to incorporate the two. For example:

Mr A Smith
Finca Dunroamin
Aptdo 99
Partida La Perdida
29200 Antiquera
Málaga

(I hope this is not really anyone's name and address)

, Correos will not put anything in your box unless it has the apartado on it.

That depends on the guy behind the desk and the quality of the bottle of wine you get for him at Xmas!

As long as it has my name on it, he ignores the address and also we don't have to waste another pile of money every year to register both of us on the one box.
