Hi Everyone,

I just tried to get an appointment to swap my Uzk license for a Spanish one. On the DGT website it asks you to choose which office you want to go to, what you want to do, and then it asks you to select a country. Well, the UK, Britain or England just aren't on the list! I hit "continue" anyway but it said it couldn't process the request now due to high volume. Not sure if that is the case or if it's because I didn't select a country.

Anyone else come across this? I followed the instructions from the UK Gov website.

Thanks

Mike

I have read a post that said the UK is not listed amongst the Europe countries - logically enough as they have snubbed the EU. Try looking in the whole list?

I have read on other websites and they suggest phoning dgt on 060 on answering you can ask for a English speaker if you’re Spanish is not to good or you may be prompted to press 1 for English speaking? The dgt have expressed as long as you have set up/organised a appointment for a renewal/exchange before 30th December 2020 if there is a delay in this time there will be a period of grace up to 30th June 2021.please note if you want to keep all your driving categories make sure you inform and ask for them to be kept, i.e up to 7.5ton or motorcycles? If you’re entitled?. Good luck and let us know how you get on, stay safe and healthy my friend.

Thanks very much Peter. I have also read this elsewhere now so it's encouraging.
