Are you living in Spain but still driving under your UK driving licence?
If you are resident and have not exchanged your UK driving licence for a Spanish one your UK licence will continue in force in Spain until June 30 2021.
If you were resident in Spain before January 1 2021 and registered your details with the DGT (Spanish Traffic Authority) before December 30 2020, you should make an appointment with the DGT to complete the exchange of your UK licence before its expiry date in Spain (June 30 this year). Proof of residency will be required.
You will have to surrender your UK licence to the Spanish Traffic Authority who will issue you with a temporary driving permit (‘autorización temporal para conducir’) to use until your Spanish licence is processed. This document is only valid in Spain and not in any other country
To get an appointment with the DGT go to:
The rules for exchanging a licence have NOT been confirmed for those that did not register their details with the DGT or moved to Spain after January 1 2021. More information will be provided once it is available.
