Yes, you've got to prove you're a legal resident. If you haven't yet got residency, at least get your prior application in before the end of this month. You can do the actual license application any time in the nine months after that.

I've lived in Cabo Roig now for 6 months. Six months away from my seventh birthday but have decided to swap my UK driving license before Brexit as recommended.  I think Torrevieja is the nearest place to me where i can have the medical and do the cognitive test.  Looking at the website ...

...i see that there are five medical centres. Does anyone have a recommendation. I don't as yet speak Spanish.  Thanks.

Sadly you’re too young to drive at nearly 7 years old !
