If you are asking about a UK driving licence you will now need to take a Spanish driving test which will be in the Spanish language.

No, it's a French license.

It does indeed say on the Spanish DGT website that you will have to take a Spanish Driving Test. However the theory at least can be taken in English. Go here https://sedeapl.dgt.gob.es/WEB_EXAM_AUTO/service/TiposExamenesServlet# select Consultar along side licence B and choose English to do a mock test in English. However first you have to do a health test and pay a tax. Never simple in Spain.

If now or after the 30th June you still only have a UK driving licence is your car insurance invalid?

Hi, I posted about 2 weeks ago asking what and where I needed to do and go to renew my driving licence ( already a Spanish license. I had 2 lovely tpeople put me on the right track. I went to the one on the Main Street in Guardama next door to the chemist . My intention was to make an appointment but I asked if they could do it and they said yes. I handed my driving License and my TIE that was all they needed. I went and did a Dexterity test then an eye test . I was asked what was my prescription medically. My blood pressure was taken . I then went into another room where a lady took my photo ( my mask removed )repeated my name & address & signed the relevant forms put in front of me then paid €40 as I am over 70 . It was an excellent service. They returned my driving license to me as it does not expire until the 22nd June. They gave me a paper to give the police after it has expired but said it should only take 2 weeks to arrive. So fingers crossed .
thank you to the people that gave me help it was very much appreciated. Regards from wozz
