Preparing for a drink-driving hearing in Spain

Start with the summons and available documents, rather than assuming every case has the same outcome.

How to prepare

1. Set out the facts

Check the hearing date, location and the capacity in which you have been summoned. Keep the documents provided and seek advice before attending.

2. Organise your documents

Organise available readings, police documents and driving records without altering originals. Note the circumstances you remember and your questions about the test.

3. Prepare your questions

Explain whether driving is part of your work and whether there is an earlier court decision. Assessing the evidence and options requires reviewing the case file.

Your consultation checklist

Summons and documents provided
Available test records
Driving licence and relevant circumstances

Continue according to your situation

You can consult even if documents are missing. Mention any imminent date when booking.
