I want to renew my Spanish DL (at least) a month before it expires. 
 
(I am going on holiday and may need a valid DL to hire a car)
 
Does anyone have experience of doing this. 
 
NB I do not need to know how to make the renewal, just how early I can renew it. 
 
 Thanks  
                    John

John

Normally if you need something for a reason you can get it same day or next day.

I know that applies to Spanish passports and ID cards and you just have to show plane tickets etc and smile!

Faro

                              thanks  but that was not the question.

It was:  How long BEFORE it expires, can I renew it ?

 

Example: It expires 1st Dec can I renew it 1st Nov, or even before ?

Further to my post.

 

I have now  been told by a medical centre, approved to do the medical for the DL,  that it can be renewed up to 3 months before.   But I am not 'convinced.'    Vamos a ver !!!

dgt website;

http://dgt.es/portal/es/oficina_virtual/conductores/renovaciones/?tit=Requisitos  states three months.

Extract...

La vigencia de los permisos o licencias de conducción será prorrogable, por las Jefaturas Provinciales y Locales de Tráfico, previa solicitud de los interesados y una vez hayan acreditado que conservan las aptitudes psicofísicas exigidas para obtener el permiso o licencia de que se trate.

La solicitud de prórroga del permiso o licencia puede presentarse dentro del período de tres meses anterior a la fecha de la pérdida de vigencia de la autorización de que se trate. Adelantar la presentación de la solicitud no va a suponer, en ningún caso, pérdida de días de validez, ya que la prórroga se empezará a contar desde la fecha en que la autorización que se quiere renovar pierde vigencia.

La solicitud de prórroga deberá presentarse antes de expirar el período de vigencia. No obstante, el titular del permiso o licencia cuya vigencia haya caducado, podrá obtener la prórroga, quedando dispensado de realizar las pruebas de control de conocimientos y las de control de aptitudes y comportamientos,

hope this helps; seems to confirm what you have been told

But as it says in their, the date of renewal will be from the date you apply. The 3 months is not added on . Just like everything , too difficult to do !
