@JohnnyPTMy current assumption is that the online process doesn't work for EU citizens with a residence card (instead of a citizen card with chip in it). When the opportunity comes I will ask them again, but I don't have much hope it would change ... Read More

Quick update: Yesterday the new DL arrived in our mailbox. This was a surprisingly fast and painless process. However, I am surprised that even after receiving the new DL, I cannot see my DL on the IMT website (I am logging in with NIF and Password). Read More
