Introduction to the accident medical background medical examination malaga
At Semedi Salud, located in El Corte Inglés in Málaga (Av. de Andalucía 4, 3rd floor), we have been performing medical examinations for the DGT for more than a decade. We know exactly what the administration requires and how to present you in the best possible condition for your evaluation. Our team of doctors specialized in driver examinations has evaluated thousands of drivers from Malaga and understands every aspect of the process.
The accident history medical examination malaga is a process that can generate uncertainty, especially if it is your first time or if you have medical conditions to worry about. That is why, from our medical team at Semedi, we have decided to create this complete guide for you to access all the information you need step by step. So there will be no surprises when you arrive at our center.
The DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) establishes very specific criteria for approving renewals and issuing licenses. We are certified intermediaries who guarantee that your evaluation is thorough, fair and in accordance with national standards.
Fundamental requirements for your appointment
Before coming to Semedi, make sure you bring all the necessary documentation. This avoids delays and ensures that your evaluation is complete:
- Valid identity document (DNI, NIE or passport) – must be valid.
- Certificate of census registration or recent utility bill (maximum 6 months).
- Updated medical history if you have chronic illnesses or relevant medical history.
- Report current medications you are taking on a regular basis.
- Recent ophthalmologic certificate if you wear glasses or corrective contact lenses.
- Previous medical report if you have conditions that require special follow-up.
These documents ensure that your evaluation is complete and meets the standards of the Dirección General de Tráfico. Without them, we may need a second appointment to complete the assessment.
The Semedi process: step by step in detail
When you arrive at our center in El Corte Inglés, the process is streamlined but thorough. We don’t want you to suffer unnecessary queues, but we do want you to receive a quality assessment:
- Reception and registration (5-10 minutes): Our administrative team receives your documentation, confirms that it is complete, and registers your data in the DGT system. This is where we resolve doubts about missing documents.
- General medical evaluation (10-15 minutes): The doctor will check blood pressure, weight, heart rate, neurological reflexes and other basic parameters essential for road safety.
- Specialized ophthalmologic examination (10 minutes): We evaluate visual acuity (central and peripheral vision), ability to adapt to changes in light, and depth perception. This is a critical component of the examination.
- Psychotechnical evaluation (if applicable, 20-30 minutes): For certain licenses, attention, concentration, reaction time and decision-making capacity are evaluated by means of computerized tests.
- Issuance of certificate (5 minutes): If everything is correct, you receive the official certificate at the moment to present to the DGT. No waiting time.
Common mistakes to avoid before your appointment
After hundreds of surveys, we have seen which errors appear repeatedly. Avoiding them will save you time, money and possible rejection:
- Not carrying all the required documentation (consult beforehand if you have specific doubts).
- Present without updating recent medications or health problems that the DGT should be aware of.
- Do not bring glasses or contact lenses if you regularly wear them for driving.
- Arriving without sufficient rest (directly affects reflexes and concentration).
- Forgetting the census certificate or a valid identity document.
- Consuming alcohol or drugs before the appointment (illegal and risk of automatic rejection).
- Arrive in a hurry – allow sufficient time for a stress-free evaluation.
Special situations – when further medical evaluation is required
In addition to the ordinary examinations for license renewal, there are situations that require more comprehensive and specialized evaluations. At Semedi we are fully trained and certified for all of them:
- Professional drivers (cab drivers, freight forwarders, passenger bus) – stricter requirements.
- People with chronic illnesses or physical limitations – need additional medical documentation and specialized evaluation.
- First time adult driver’s license application – full evaluation required.
- Reinstatement after administrative suspension – requires additional reporting and rigorous evaluation.
- Special evaluation for serious medical history – heart attacks, strokes, neurological disorders.
- Change of license category – if you upgrade from B to C or D, you need a mandatory psycho-technical evaluation.
Frequently asked questions about the medical examination
How long does the complete survey actually take?
Between 20 and 40 minutes depending on your medical history and if you require a complete psycho-technical evaluation. At Semedi we try to make it a fast process without sacrificing diagnostic quality. We never rush you; your evaluation comes first.
Is fasting necessary prior to the examination?
It is not mandatory, although some doctors recommend it if we are going to do blood tests. Eat a light breakfast if you prefer, but avoid heavy meals on the morning of the examination. Good hydration is important for accurate blood parameters.
What happens if I am rejected in the first evaluation?
If in the first evaluation something is not correct, the doctor will advise you specifically on what steps to take. In many cases, it is a reversible problem (high blood pressure due to nerves, poor visual measurement, medication that needs adjustment). At Semedi we follow up to help you overcome these obstacles.
Do I need an appointment or do you accept walk-ins?
We recommend scheduling in advance to guarantee immediate availability, although we accept walk-ins depending on the day’s load. Call 951 262 122 to schedule your appointment without unnecessary waiting. Available Monday through Friday in the morning and afternoon.
Do you accept medical insurance or reimbursement?
We work directly with private patients. Check with your private insurance company if they reimburse this type of services certified by the DGT. Many policies do, but each insurer has its own conditions.
