The ever-useful N332 Facebook page has just updated the situation re UK driving licences. If you are resident in Spain and still have a UK licence time is running out for you to change it. After the deadline your UK licence will not be valid, and your only option would be to take a theory and practical test - in Spanish - to be legal.
“Extension to the deadline to change British licences. !!!!
Until 31st January you can do it. The information has been published on the web of the traffic department, together with the following warning; "Once Brexit takes place, UK licences from residents in Spain won´t be valid."
It does not make sense but the information is just in Spanish, and the only way of translating it is using a version of google translator located on the upper right-hand side.
We feel ashamed about this behaviour from the DGT towards the British community. From N332 we will keep fighting against this type of discrimination. When the information published has a target audience of non-Spanish speakers, it must be published in the English language.
Here you have the link with all the information;

(If anyone wishes to translate it, please send us the translation through pm and we will add it to the post.)“
