Re: Exchanging a UK driving license
Appears to be so. But it's still only for people who registered intent to change prior to 31st Dec 2020. Those who didnt are still up poo creek.

Re: Exchanging a UK driving license
Somebody was asking me about this (do not know why!). So if I read it correctly, is it that if you registered your intent to change it in 2020 you can excahange it for a Spanish licence but cannot drive from now until you get it.
Is that correct?
But if you did not register an interest then you have to take a test?
Seems more than reasonable. It is not as though there were no warnings.

Re: Exchanging a UK driving license
They can drive on a UK licence until the end of the year. Those that did not register their intent before 31 Jan either have to take a test or hope that Spain adds the UK to the list of countries who can exchange their licences.

Hi Cid
Did I misread this'? This implies to me that you are not driving with a valid licence from ...well. mañana.

Or is it just badly worded?If you are one of the UK Nationals who successfully registered their intent to exchange their licence by 30 December 2020, as things stand, your UK licence will also become invalid for driving in Spain on 31 October, but you will still be eligible to exchange it for a Spanish one until 31 December 2021
