Driving licence renewal in Equatorial Guinea
How to renew a driving licence — how it works anywhere
Renewing a driving licence in Equatorial Guinea involves visiting the relevant transport authority to submit an application and provide updated documentation. The process typically requires proof of identity, a medical fitness certificate, and the payment of administrative fees.
It is generally recommended to initiate the renewal process at least 30 to 60 days before a licence expires. This accounts for potential administrative backlogs, the time required to obtain medical clearances, and the processing period for the physical document.
Start 30 days ahead
Standard administrative processing times can vary significantly based on regional office capacity.
The process
- 1Verify the specific requirements and current application forms at the local transport office or department of transit.
- 2Obtain a medical certificate from an authorized health facility confirming fitness to operate a motor vehicle.
- 3Prepare the required documentation, including original identification and the expiring licence.
- 4Submit the application and relevant documentation to the authorized transport authority office.
- 5Pay the required administrative renewal fees at the designated government collection point.
- 6Collect the renewed licence once the authority confirms processing is complete.
What to bring
- Current or expiring driving licence
