What you need to know

In the event of the loss, theft or wear and tear of a licence issued by an EU Member State or European Economic Area (EEA) country (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), you can apply for replacement of your licence at our offices(Abre en nueva ventana) , provided that you are ordinarily resident in Spain. You will be issued with a new licence, equivalent to the one you held.

At the start of this procedure, we issue you with a provisional Spanish licence equivalent to the licence from your country. You will receive your definitive Spanish licence in approximately one and a half months. You do not need to visit your police station or DGT office; we will post your licence to you at home.
