A Gestor Administrativo (GA) may apply on your behalf to exchange your driver's license from countries such as Algeria, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Philippines, Macedonia, Morocco, Nicaragua, and so on.

In addition, there are cases where the required period of residence is reduced. A Gestor Administrativo will be able to help you with all of this.
