<p1>Authorization of vehicle access to the City of Granada</p1>
<p class="p2">
<b><u>Granada’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ)</u></b> is an initiative aimed at improving air quality and reducing pollution by <b>establishing access restrictions for certain vehicles</b> based on their environmental classification. This measure promotes sustainable mobility and contributes to citizen well-being.<br />
Furthermore, <b><u>access control in the city</u></b> regulates traffic in specific areas, such as the historic center and the LEZ, to reduce congestion and preserve urban heritage. Through surveillance systems and regulations, <b>the entry of unauthorized vehicles is limited</b>, ensuring a more orderly and accessible environment.</p><br />
<p1>Exchange of foreign driving licenses</p1>
<ul class="lista1">
<li><b>Driving licenses issued in countries belonging to the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway):</b> will be valid in Spain while they are valid, so their exchange is a voluntary procedure.</li>
<li><b>Licenses issued in countries outside the EU and EEA:</b> will only be valid for a maximum period of six months from the date of obtaining residency in Spain. After this period, the exchange will be mandatory to continue driving legally in the country.</li>
</ul>
<p class="p2">It is important to note that <i>it will not be possible to exchange a driving license if it was obtained in the country of origin when the person already had legal residency in Spain</i>.<br />

<p1>Registration of foreign vehicles</p1>
<p class="p2">
<b>If a foreigner resides in Spain for more than 6 months, they must register their car in the country.</b><br />
According to the <i>Traffic, Motor Vehicle Circulation, and Road Safety Law and Law 38/1992, of December 28, on Special Taxes</i>, if a foreigner establishes residency in Spain for more than 6 months (understood as habitual residence), they are required to register their vehicle in Spain.<br />
It is important that, in addition to the license plate, the <b>vehicle must comply with the technical inspection regulations and tax requirements established in Spain</b>, such as the Circulation Tax.<br />
If a foreigner <b>fails to comply</b> with this obligation and continues to drive with foreign license plates beyond the 6-month mark, they risk <b>fines and penalties from the Spanish authorities</b>.<br />
