License Validity:

A) European licenses (including Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein)

It is not mandatory to validate your license until it expires. Once it has expired or shortly before the expiration date, it is obligatory to validate it and exchange it for a Spanish license.

Those indefinite driver´s licenses (that never expire) or those which are valid over 15 years, have to be exchanged for a Spanish license no later than 2 years after getting legal residency in Spain.

Once you have exchanged your license:

-        The driver obtains 12 points (Spain has a system of points in which, depending on the severity of the traffic violations: minor/serious/very serious, points get taken away.

-        You are entitled to drive motorcycles until 125cc (if the original license is at least 3 years old).

-        The original license will be returned to the country of origin.
