It is not necessary to bring 2 passport-sized photos since the medical center will take a digital photograph of you and attach it to your file so that it appears to the DGT Headquarters.

It is also important that you bring your glasses, contact lenses or hearing aids to the appointment if you use them regularly as you will need them for the test.

In all medical centers you will undergo an examination to check that you are fit to drive on public roads. The most common tests in the psycho-technical examination are:

• Review of the general state of health of the applicant (questions about your daily habits).
• Assessment of hearing ability.
• Examination of visual and ophthalmological capacity.
• Review of the psychomotor system by performing coordination tests, the ability to react and the perception of peripheral movements.
