One of the fundamental elements for many citizens is the driving license, and it is now common to have it. In our country, almost 28 million people have it.
We are talking about a license that, depending on the level, allows you to drive one type or another of vehicles and that, once obtained, will not be lost, unless the person will be left without points for serious or repeated violations.
What is needed is to renew it from time to time, which in the case of class B cars, which are passenger cars, is done every ten years until the driver is 65, which will be the time when it will be done every five.
.“Class Permissions” C1, C1+E, C, C+E, D1, D1+E, D and D+E They have a validity period of five years as long as the owner does not reach the age of 65,” explained the DGT, an entity that also emphasizes that, to continue having it, it will not be necessary to take another exam.
Steps to renew your driving license
What the DGT wanted to clarify is that, despite this, it will be necessary to “pass a medical examination”.
This recognition can be done three months before the expiration date, as explained on the site.
“Bringing forward the renewal does not mean that you lose days of validity since the extension of your permit starts counting from the expiration date of the old one.”
Even if the license has expired, it can still be renewed, but it is still important to know that you will not be able to drive until your license expires.
To carry out this procedure, it is not necessary to go to the same offices of the Directorate, it is enough to attend a Driver Recognition Center authorized, in which total renewal can be carried out.
Once the process is completed, a provisional license will be issued to you until the definitive license is issued, so you will be able to drive immediately. In a month and a half, you will receive your driving license without having to carry out additional administrative procedures or pay any fees.
A reduced or free renewal
What must be clear is that in addition to the cost of the recognition itself, you must pay 24.58 euros as a fee for the procedure carried out. The amount may be reduced in the event that the request for extension occurs more frequently than what usually corresponds to the age and health reasonsboth physically and psychologically.
We are talking about an extension that could go up to one year, where the discount will be 80%, less than 5 euros, 60% if it was 2 years and 40% if it was three years.
The amount of an extension is valid for up to four years simply by having 20% offwhat that would mean is that the final cost would be 19.67 euros.
The fact is that it is possible that this renewal will not cost the driver anything, provided that an age condition is met. Let’s think that for no fees to be applied, the applicant must have more than seventy yearsalthough you will still have to pay for the medical examination.
The DGT has recently strengthened the tests that will be carried out for the renewal of the authorization.
Greater comfort for drivers
It is always good to offer the driver the opportunity to renew his license quickly and comfortably. Ultimately, this is a very efficient method that also reduces the workload of Traffic.
For all these reasons, it is important to take advantage of the possibility available to these driver recognition centers to accelerate this type of renewal.
It is expected that in the coming years, the conditions will continue to be strengthened to be able renew your driving license.
All this is especially convenient when it comes to renewals for older drivers. So we hope that the DGT will continue to advance in this type of measures that, ultimately, make this process much easier, which until not so long ago was much more cumbersome.
So now you know, if you or any of your friends or family members need to renew their driver’s license soon, now it’s much easier and there are not so many problems when it comes to carrying out the procedures in this regard.
In any case, if you have any doubts, consult your Center and they will surely clarify everything regarding the tests and circulation procedures.
