How to renew your driver’s license in Malaga? Step-by-step guide with Semedi Salud
Renewing your driver’s license may seem like a cumbersome process, but it is actually a quick and easy process, especially if you do it at a medical center authorized by the DGT such as Semedi Salud, located in El Corte Inglés in Malaga. In this guide, we explain everything you need to know to carry out the renewal in a comfortable, safe way and without having to travel to the Traffic Headquarters.
Where to Renew your Driver’s License in Malaga?
At Semedi Salud we take care of the entire renewal process. We are a center approved by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), which means that:
- We perform the mandatory medical examination.
- We take the photograph and digital signature.
- We directly process the renewal with the DGT.
- We give you a provisional permit valid for 90 days at the time.
Thus, you avoid unnecessary travel, queues or complications.
Requirements to Renew your Driver’s License
To renew your driver’s license in Malaga, you only need:
- Valid DNI or NIE.
- Current driver’s license, even if it has expired.
- Pass the medical and psychotechnical examination.
- Pay the corresponding fee (you can do it directly at Semedi).
It is not necessary to bring a photograph, since we take it with a certified digital system.
What Does the Medical Examination for Drivers Include?
At Semedi Salud, our team of doctors and psychologists performs a complete evaluation in less than 20 minutes. The tests include:
- Visual acuity (far and near vision, depth vision).
- Hearing check.
- Psychomotor coordination through computerized tests.
- General medical evaluation (blood pressure, reflexes, medical history).
- In some cases, basic psychological evaluation, especially in elderly people or with a relevant medical history.
This type of recognition guarantees that you can drive safely, both for yourself and for others.
When Can the License be Renewed?
You can renew your driver’s license up to three months before its expiration date, without losing any day of validity. In fact, renewing in advance is recommended to avoid running out of driving due to oversights or delays.
The validity periods vary according to age and type of permit:
- Type B permits (car):
- Up to 65 years: renewal every 10 years.
- From 65 years: renewal every 5 years.
- Professional permits (C, D, E):
- Up to 65 years: every 5 years.
- From 65 years: every 3 years or less, according to medical criteria.
What Happens if My License Has Already Expired?
If your license has already expired, you can still renew it without any problem. You will not have to take the theoretical or practical exam again, but you cannot drive with an expired license, as it carries significant fines.
Renewing it as soon as possible is key. At Semedi Salud we process your renewal on the same day and give you an official provisional permit so you can continue driving legally.
