Driving licence renewal in San Marino
Renewing a driving license in San Marino typically involves a medical examination to confirm fitness to drive, followed by submitting an application and the necessary documentation to the relevant authority.
Most people initiate the renewal process a few weeks to a month before their current license expires. This allows ample time for scheduling and attending the mandatory medical examination, and for the administrative processing of the new license without interruption to driving privileges. Processing times can vary, especially if additional medical assessments are required.
