*UK Driving licence update*
From today UK licence holders are able to exchange their UK licence for a Spanish one without having to take a driving test. And, for six months, UK licence holders can legally drive again on their valid UK licence whilst they complete the exchange process.
The DGT has updated its website with detailed information on the exchange process https://sede.dgt.gob.es/es/permisos-de-conducir/canje-permisos/canje-permisos-extranjeros/canje-renovacion-sustitucion-uk/?fbclid=IwAR05tS4ZQG4Vt6aFpx_A9yWmPuu9fjJLIK_qn1HNxChMMWoZfEyec4DJYUI #
The DGT has emphasised the importance of having all the correct documentation with you when you go to your appointment, so do read that section carefully.
This includes getting a code from the DVLA before making an appointment - https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence
