The recognition of foreign national drivers licences to those wishing to drive in Spain may be changed soon, specifically in the month of March.

The aim of the new legislation is to bring awareness among immigrants drivers to the Spanish legislation.

Currently, immigrants who wish to obtain their driving licence must fill out an application form, submit a medical certificate, another of no previous criminal record or administrative and pay the applicable rate. But now it will not be so easy.

In this regard, there are some countries where driving is a simple administrative task for which fees are paid, without the need for screening, such as in  India.

Thus, the validation of the driver’s license for immigrants whose home countries comply with the above description will have to comply with the Spanish driving laws.
