My Experience Of Exchanging a U.K. Driving Licence For A Spanish Driving Licence
This is my experience of EXCHANGING my U.K. driving licence for a Spanish driving licence.
Booked the appointment on the DGT website in November 2018 and was given an appointment today ( 18/02/2019 ), selecting the Trafico Office in Elche. After some difficulty actually finding the Office ( need to invest in a Sat Nav LOL ) I attended the appointment, they have a ticket queuing system which you log into using your NIE Number and when called my application was dealt with by a friendly English speaking member of staff. The process was straightforward and at the end I was issued with a temporary licence until my new Spanish Licence is posted to my home address.
The documents required were
1. The Application Form, printed from the DGT website when making the application.
2. U.K. driving licence, original and copy
3, NIE certificate, original and copy
4. Residencia certificate, original and copy,
5. Passport, original and copy
6. Photograph, recent, 1 measuring 32mm by 25mm
7. Payment of 28.30€
NO MEDICAL REPORT WAS REQUIRED FOR ME TO EXCHANGE FROM MY U.K. DRIVING LICENCE TO A SPANISH DRIVING LICENCE.
