New permanent driver's license in Madrid

Starting November 16, citizens of Madrid will be able to process their permanent driver's license, despite its suspension since 2008. This change is an important step to improve mobility in the city.


Starting November 16, residents of the capital will be able to apply again for their permanent driver's license, a document that has not been issued since 2008.

This decision has been met with enthusiasm by the population, which sees this measure as an opportunity to regularize their situation by driving vehicles legally. The Secretary of Mobility has established the necessary requirements for obtaining this license, which include the presentation of certain documents and the completion of medical and psychological exams.

"We are committed to ensuring road safety in the city and providing citizens with the necessary tools to comply with traffic regulations," said a spokesperson for the Secretary of Mobility. The resumption of the issuance of permanent licenses is part of an effort to strengthen respect for traffic rules and improve the quality of transportation in the capital.
