Where to check your mark
Two official routes, both free, no digital certificate needed:
- DGT sede electrónica → the «Consulta de notas de examen» section (sede.dgt.gob.es). Enter your DNI/NIE and exam date.
- Mi DGT app (iOS/Android): the mark shows up in your profile, next to your permits and points.
Your driving school also receives the results, but you don't depend on it — you can check directly.
When the result appears
- Computer-based theory: the same afternoon as the exam, from 5:00 pm.
- Paper theory: the next day, from 5:00 pm.
- Practical (circulation): published the next day from 5:00 pm — though the examiner usually tells you the outcome when the test ends.
is how long the mark stays visible online. After that the system stops showing it — take a screenshot if you'll need it.
What the data says about that wait
According to the last 12 months of DGT microdata, results afternoon brings bad news to a lot of people: 50.5% fail the theory and 53.0% fail the practical (permiso B). And of those who pass the theory, only 61.9% manage it at the first attempt.
The best way to make results day a happy formality: turn up already knowing your probability of passing. TraficoTest computes it from your own statistics — fully in English.
