DGT Mod.04 — application for the Spanish driving test

Mod.04 “Solicitud de pruebas de aptitud” is the official form of Spain’s Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) to apply for tests: for a driving licence or licence (permiso/licencia de conducción), for the dangerous goods authorisation (ADR) and for recovering a licence after losing all points (RPV).

Immigrants need it when their home licence cannot be exchanged (Spain has no agreement with that country) or when they have no licence: the Spanish licence is then obtained by passing the DGT theory and practical tests.

• the candidate or a person they authorise (power of attorney in the DGT Registro de apoderamientos or a signed Mod.24 form);
• in person at any Jefatura or Oficina de Tráfico by appointment (cita previa); online through the DGT Registro Electrónico with an electronic DNI, digital certificate or Cl@ve;
• driving school students usually file through the school — the form then shows its number, section and check digit;
• one application per procedure; minors attach the consent of their father, mother or guardian with their DNI and proof of the relationship.

• applicant: DNI/NIE, date of birth, country of birth, nationality, given name, two surnames, sex, phone, e-mail;
• address for notices: street type and name, number, block, entrance, staircase, floor, door, km, postcode, province, municipality, town;
• the medical centre that issued the certificate and the boxes “lenses”, “restrictive conditions”, “limited validity”;
• for a licence: class, fee number, manual or automatic, test centre, driving school, theory test language, headphones and extra time;
• for ADR: obtaining or extending, and the courses (basic, tanks, classes 1 and 7) with training centre and dates;
• for RPV: profile, training centre, course dates and code; place and date — the signature is handwritten.

• the completed and signed Mod.04;
• the medical fitness certificate (informe de aptitud psicofísica) from a drivers’ medical centre — DGT states it is valid for 90 days;
• the fee receipt, or a bank card to pay at the office (cash is not accepted at the Jefatura);
• ID: EU citizens — national ID card, or passport with the registration certificate; non-EU citizens — a valid residence permit;
• a photo (talón-foto 32 × 26 mm) — only for LCM and LVA licences and only the first time.

• licence (moped, motorcycle, car, lorry, bus) — tasa 2.1, €94.05; A2 to A — tasa 2.3, €28.87; LCM and LVA licences — tasa 2.2, €44.58; licence recovery — tasa 2.3, €28.87 (DGT figures on the check date);
• one fee covers two attempts (three for licence recovery);
• a passed theory test is valid for two years; you may apply up to three months before the minimum age for the class;
• for ADR the form lists tasa 2.3 for obtaining and 4.5 for extending — check the amount on the DGT website.

1. Tell the chat, in any language, which class you are taking, whether through a school or on your own, and your details.
2. The assistant fills in the boxes in capitals, splits the address into the DGT boxes and ticks the procedure.
3. Download the PDF, check it, print, sign and take it to Tráfico or attach it to the online application.
