Can anyone help me change my British license for a Spanish one please? I know I have left it far too late, but thought it was a simple process!

Would be most grateful and willing reimburse costs.

TIA

Hi

You will have to visit your local Gestor or qualified people in the Nerja area. I think you  may have left it too late to make an appointment. But you can try after Christmas or maybe even  tomorrow. Sorry I live in the  Estepona  area so can not help you further. Suggest you search Google to assist  you in this matter.

Good Luck

Nigel

DGT DECEMBER 29 DEADLINE - UK DRIVING LICENCE EXCHANGE - DGT 29 DECEMBER DEADLINE 

For those that haven't registered yet, it is imperative that you register your details with DGT by DECEMBER 29th. They will not be able to contact DVLA if you register after this date. 

Call them on 060 or use a "firma digital" on cd.dgt.gob.es to submit your driving licence details by Dec. 29th, they will send your details to DVLA to be checked and you can call them for an appointment after 1st January 2021.

DGT 060 lines will be open Dec. 24th until 2pm, Dec. 28th 9.30am to 6pm and Dec. 29th 9.30am to 6pm.

You will need: NIE number, full name and D.O.B, email address, Spanish contact number, Full UK driving licence number, province/city in which you want to make the exchange.

When you call DGT on 060...

An automated  voice will ask what is the purpose of your call

You need to say CANJE PERMISO BRITANICO 

Then they'll give you some speech and several options...Press 1 or say BRITANICO.

Then some more speech and you wait...

Then there is a normal phone ring normally once or twice then either of 2 things happen...

A- There is a different ringtone (like an old or distant tone) and you are put through to someone. Everyone I have spoken to at DGT are absolutely LOVELY and very helpful.

B- There is some speech telling you that the lines are busy and you need to call back later.

Leave it a couple of minutes and call them back.
