My license has been expired for two months, but I already paid the renewal fee at the DGT a month ago. The problem is that the new license still hasn't arrived at my house. Can I drive if I carry the payment receipt?
No, you can't drive with an expired license even if you have proof of payment, because legally the only valid document is the one you're holding. The payment receipt won't protect you from a fine; you need to carry a valid license. What you can do is contact the DGT to find out where your new document is, because two months since payment is longer than normal, and there might have been a delay or it got lost in the mail.
You can't drive with an expired license even if you have the payment receipt, because legally you need to have the physical document in order. What you can do is contact the DGT to speed up the process or, in the meantime, avoid driving until your new license arrives.
Legally you need the physical license in hand - the payment receipt doesn't cut it even if you carry it with you. What does work is calling the DGT and asking them to send it to you by express courier or to pick it up directly at the nearest office; sometimes they have it ready but just haven't sent it out yet.
Have you called the DGT yet to check where your application is at? What nobody mentions is that if your license is taking a while, you can request a provisional certificate that actually lets you drive legally while you wait for the physical one. It's a document they give you at the traffic office or they can mail it to you, and it has official validity. Anyway, just having the payment receipt on hand won't protect you from a fine, so that's definitely not an option.
