Fez — Kylian Mbappé has officially obtained his driver’s license in Spain at the age of 27, marking a personal milestone for the Real Madrid forward and France national team captain.
According to French outlet Orange Sports, Mbappé completed the required procedures in Spain after relocating to Madrid following his move to Real Madrid. The report confirms that the player had surprisingly never previously held a driving license, despite owning and being associated with high-end vehicles throughout his professional career.
For years, Mbappé relied on chauffeurs and private transportation, a common arrangement among elite footballers due to security concerns and demanding schedules. His relocation to Spain appears to have provided a more practical setting to complete the process.
The development has drawn attention partly because of Mbappé’s long-standing partnership with automotive brands linked to his club. Real Madrid maintains sponsorship agreements with major car manufacturers, and first-team players are typically provided with vehicles as part of those partnerships. Until now, Mbappé was not personally behind the wheel.
The decision to obtain his license comes during a new chapter in his career. After joining Real Madrid, the 27-year-old has continued to play a central role both domestically and in European competitions. Off the pitch, settling into life in Spain includes managing everyday responsibilities that were previously handled by staff.
While obtaining a driver’s license may seem routine, for a global football icon whose life has largely been structured around training, travel, and competition, it represents a step toward greater personal independence.
Mbappé’s career continues to evolve at the highest level of international football. This latest milestone, though modest compared to his sporting achievements, reflects a transition into a more autonomous phase of life in Madrid.
As he continues his journey with Real Madrid and the French national team, Mbappé now adds licensed driver to his list of credentials, a small but symbolic addition to the profile of one of football’s most recognizable figures.
