Exchanging your drivers license
You need digital verification through the RESPER system, a hard-to-get appointment at the DGT, specific forms and fees, a medical exam, and a passport photo in a size you've probably never heard of (32 x 26 mm).
This module guides you through all six stages
Submitting your Solicitud and waiting for the ACEPTADA status, booking your Cita Previa the moment slots open, preparing every document and form (Modelo 03, Tasa 2.3), knowing exactly what happens at the DGT office, and optionally adding an international driving licence for travel.
