The Penal Code, in its article 384, punishes anyone who drives a motor vehicle or moped in cases where the permit or license loses its validity due to the total loss of legally assigned points, with a prison sentence of three to six months, a fine of twelve to twenty-four months, or community service of thirty-one to ninety days.
Likewise, this article stipulates that the same penalty will be imposed on anyone who drives after having been provisionally or permanently deprived of their permit or license by a court decision, and on anyone who drives a motor vehicle or moped without ever having obtained a driver’s permit or license.

The criminal offense of driving without ever having obtained a permit or license means that anyone who has obtained a permit or license but has lost its validity is excluded from criminal liability. In other words, driving with an expired permit or license due to the lack of the necessary requirements for its issuance is not considered a crime.
Furthermore, the offense requires driving “without ever having obtained a permit or license.” Therefore, we must understand that driving by someone who has obtained a permit or license in another country, even if they are not valid for driving in Spain, is atypical and therefore cannot incur criminal liability.
Nor would it be a criminal offense to drive a vehicle other than the one authorized by the permit or license obtained, or under conditions other than those authorized.
Regarding the criminal offense of driving in cases of loss of validity of the permit or license due to total loss of points, it should be noted that in order to criminally charge someone with such conduct, they must be aware that they are driving in the described situation. In this regard, Article 63.6 of the LSV provides that once the total loss of points assigned to them has been confirmed, the Administration, within fifteen days, will notify the interested party, in the manner provided for in Law 30/1992, of November 26, on the Legal Regime of Public Administrations and the Common Administrative Procedure, of the agreement declaring the loss of their driving permit or license.
Driving after having been provisionally or permanently revoked a license by a court order is a special form of violation of a sentence. The definitive revocation of a license presupposes the imposition of a final judgment of the penalty provided for in Article 47 of the Criminal Code, or the security measure provided for in Article 96.5 of the Criminal Code, while provisional revocation refers to a procedural stage prior to the issuance of a sentence with a penalty or security measure.
