Driving: dismissal after checking a foreign licence

Authorized file and official verification of the permit examined

The situation

A possible driving without a permit was being investigated. An official check was requested on the existence of a driving licence issued in another country.

What the decision records

After receiving confirmation that the licence existed, the court provisionally dismissed and closed the case. It also ordered communication of the decision to the traffic authority.

What this helps explain

It should not be confused without any permission with administrative issues concerning the use of a foreign permit. The criminal relevance requires checking the specific modality investigated; this case does not state that any foreign permit is always capable of driving in Spain.
