British Drivers Urged To Get Spanish Licences

The British government has urged expats in Spain to get Spanish driving licences.  In the event of a no deal Brexit, drivers may have to retake driving tests to be allowed to drive in Spain.

The government statement says “In the event that there is no EU exit deal, you may have to pass a driving test in the EU country you live in to be able to carry on driving there.  You should consider exchanging your UK driving licence for an EU driving licence as soon as possible.

“Increased demand may lead to longer processing times and delays to exchanging driving licences the closer it is to 29 March 2019.”
