The reality on the ground
-
Give „Prior Appointment“ Chaos
Months of waiting time just to get an appointment with the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico.
-
Strict NIE requirements
Rejected applications due to missing or allegedly invalid foreigner identification numbers (NIE) and proof of residence (Padrón).
-
Language barriers in government offices
Official communication takes place almost exclusively in Spanish, which means that even the slightest formal error leads to a restart of the process.
