Hi all,

There has been an update from the UK's Ambassador to Spain, Hugh Elliott, posted on the Embassy's Facebook page this evening:

https://m.facebook.com/BritsInSpain/

For those of you who are not on Facebook, the update says that the UK has asked Spain for an extension that allows UK citizens, who are Spanish residents, to continue driving on their UK licences beyond 31 December 2021, pending negotiation of a deal that enables a licence exchange without the need to take a Spanish driving test.  The Ambassador has said that any extension will be confirmed before the end of the year 🤞

Kind regards, 

Kim

Can anyone advise how to exchange the license  i.e. where to go? and what is required?

Hi JLee63,

Sorry to answer a question with a question, but it depends on your circumstances.  Did you obtain residency prior to 31 December 2020?  And did you pre-register your intention with DGT (Trafico) to exchange your driving licence before that date?

Kind regards,

Kim
