Cambio de Domicilio: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to update your driving license address in Spain if you have moved house.
This scheme allows drivers to update the residential address listed on their driving license.
Who it's for
This process is specifically designed for drivers who have moved house. If your current place of residence has changed and you need your official driving documents to reflect your new location, you qualify to use this service. It is a necessary step for anyone maintaining a valid driving license while living in a new area.
What you get
The primary benefit of this scheme is the formal updating of your address on your driving license. This ensures that your official driving credentials match your current living situation, which is important for maintaining accurate records with the driving authority.
What it costs you
There are no fees for this service. The process of updating your address through this specific scheme is free of charge.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that this process is not a universal update for all your records. Completing this change only updates your address for your driving license. It does not update your address for the census (Padrón). You must still complete the separate process with your local municipality to ensure your residency is correctly registered for census purposes.
How to apply
- Ensure you have your current driving license ready to reference.
- Access the official government portal.
- Follow the digital instructions to provide your updated residential information.
- Verify that all the details entered match your new home address before finalizing.
