Driving license

We advise you to obtain an international driving permit in your home country before leaving.

Whether a driving license issued in a country other than Spain is valid in Spain depends on whether a bilateral agreement is in place between Spain and that country.

For more details on driving with a foreign license in Spain, read here:
🔗 Driving with a Foreign License in Spain

If you are a resident of Spain and hold a driving license from a country with a reciprocal agreement, you can exchange your foreign license for a Spanish one easily. For more information, visit:
