New aid for young people who want to get their driving license in Malaga: deadlines and requirements

The Málaga City Council is set to launch a new call for grants aimed at young people who wish to obtain their driving license. The Local Government Board approved this latest call for 'Málaga Conduce', an initiative promoted by the Youth Department with the goal of "contributing to the improvement of employment prospects for young people in Málaga," according to a press release from the City Council.

For this purpose, the city council will allocate an amount of 75,020 euros, which represents an increase of almost 12,000 euros compared to last year's call, benefiting a total of 682 young people.

The 'Málaga Conduce' program has been called since 2016 to help cover the expenses derived from obtaining any type of driving license (AM, A1, A2, A, B, B+E, C1, C1+E, C, C+E, D1, D1+E, D, D+E and LVA and LCM licenses for agricultural vehicles and vehicles for reduced mobility, respectively).

Profile and Applications

The grants from this program are aimed at young people between 18 and 35 years old who have been qualified as 'Suitable' by the Provincial or Local Traffic Headquarters in the theoretical and practical tests of the driving license from September 1, 2025, until the date of application.

With this initiative, according to the City Council, the aim is to support the most vulnerable young people of Málaga, and therefore, the criteria for obtaining the grants will take into account socio-family factors such as being registered as a job seeker, belonging to a large family, or certifying a disability degree higher than 33%, among other factors.

Applications for this grant will soon be available on the Youth website: https://juventud.malaga.eu/ in the 'Grants and Awards' section. Lastly, the City Council indicates that the application period will begin the day after its publication in the Official Bulletin of the Province (BOPMA) and will end on April 30, 2026.
