Spanish Driving Licence Renewals - November 2009
No postal Spanish Driving Licence renewal reminders have been sent out in Tenerife since June/July 2009 and according to a Santa Cruz functionary there are no plans to reinistate the reminder system anytime soon! So check your expiry date because driving without an in date licence will attract a fine.
Some medical centres will take care of the whole thing for you when you go to take your test, but others will not. So that means a trip to Santa Cruz.
The One Stop Problem shop can take care of the renewal for you if you are not comfortable going to Trafico -or you just can't be bothered!!!
