The National Transit and Land Transportation Institute (Intrant) has announced the launch of a process to review its procedures for driver’s licenses, after the Constitutional Court declared null a provision of the Driver’s License Regulation. The measure responds to the TC/0904/26 ruling, in which article 21 of Decree 6-19 was annulled.
Legal basis for the change
The Constitutional Court accepted a direct action of unconstitutionality against the letter a) of article 21, which established the validity regime of licenses. Consequently, Intrant must adapt its processes to comply with the ruling and ensure the application of the constitutional regime.
Internal requirements
With the communication DJ-INT-515-2026, dated September 28, 2026, the executive director Juan Manuel Méndez García requested the director of Driver’s Licenses, Augusto Pérez Sánchez, to implement the provisions of the ruling and take the necessary administrative measures. Méndez emphasized the obligation to adopt the actions required by the constitutional organ and requested a report on the procedures that will be implemented to ensure the correct execution of the ruling.
Implications for drivers
At the present moment, the Institute has not disclosed the new validity periods nor the exact way in which the changes will be applied to license holders. It is expected that Intrant will disseminate the concrete measures in the coming days and that updated procedures will be established for the renewal and issuance of driver’s licenses.
