IF you are a Torrevieja resident this is how to get your Digital Secure Key/Certificate, Padron or other electronic Cert From Ayuntamiento and/or Convert your License to Spanish
Get your secure key from the Suma office, take your NIE and passport. Validate it later using the given procedure. (works with Linux too) Use this to get your Padron certificate online from Ayuntamiento. Get onto the DGT site and use your secure key on your computer to register. you can then go through the procedure to convert your license. (canje) and you will get an online acceptance code, take the code with you when you go to DGT, see below.
Fill in the forms and print them out.
I presume you have already done the Psycho/Technical exam/test for the License and have the doc.
You need to go to the DGT, Presence is necessary. The Elche DGT office is fine with virtually no waiting and easy parking outside the office. If you are over 65 you don't need an appointment and the whole thing is free.
We did it 3 weeks ago for my wife at the Elche DGT, They said it was better to come and get the new license as Torrevieja post does not arrive. It takes 6 weeks and they notify you by email etc, They take your license and give you a certificate so you can drive for 3 months in Spain, She should get hers mid July, fingers crossed.
