The DGT has not removed the obligation to carry the card with you, what happens is that now you have the option of having it in the MiDGT app.
One of the most common fines that the authorities can give us when driving is for not carrying the driver’s license with us. This sanction, in addition, can be one of those that annoys us the most, since it is almost always the result of an oversight or oversight. It’s not a lot of money, between 10 and 80 eurosbut it is totally saveable if we are a little smart.
Now, news has emerged indicating that this fine, which involved a disbursement of up to 80 euros, was going to be eliminated. No, it’s not like that. It isn’t trueas has been published in certain media, that it is enough to show the ID to prove our identity behind the wheel. Remember that the DNI does not justify in any way that we are holders of a driving license, it only shows who we are.
It is not worth showing the ID
What is true is that the most clueless and forgetful drivers have a technological ally to avoid the possible sanction for driving without the driver’s license in our pocket or wallet.
Here the MiDGT application comes into play, where both the driving license and the circulation license and the technical inspection card are located. This virtual documentation has the same validity as the physical. Of course, only within our country: if we travel outside our borders, we will have to carry the physical driver’s license (especially in Europe) or the international permit.

The MiDGT mobile application is available in the Google Play and App Store virtual stores. In order to access it it will be necessary to have the credentials of [email protected] or have a digital certificate. If you do not have either of the two options, you can also access the application with your personal data and a password that the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) will send to your phone via SMS.
