Evening everyone 

Has anyone done the exchange of  UK driving licence to Spanish one by themselves and would be happy to share information/guidance on documents and process?

Thank you

I also have this question, due to the delays to get an appt for TIE appt and then 3-4 weeks before getting the card itself.  Two gestors I've asked say you must have the TIE card!!!!

But I've just found this from CAB and it implies that the Application Resolution document could be accepted.  Anyone read this the same way as me?

thanks. i uave seen the link on the CAB site but it os a translation of an email they receivedand they cannot provide the original. and i have heard that people have been turned away with resolution letter  - so was wondering if anyone had managed the process without the TIE card.
