REGISTERING UK DRIVING LICENCE WITH SPANISH TRAFFIC OFFICE
We have recently moved to Spain (Ontinyent)

We were issued our habitual residence cards small green type Feb 2012

Our UK Driving Licenses PHOTO type expire during 2021 for myself and for
my wife our dates of birth are 1955 and 1956 respectively

We are not sure if we may return to the UK to live before then and would
like if possible to keep our UK Licenses.

I have heard conflicting advice on the rules for driving in Spain.

Some people say we must change our licenses to Spanish and then change
them back again when we go back to the UK.

Other say we can register our UK driving licenses with the Spanish
Authorities but should we stay passed 2021 we then need to change to
Spanish licences prior to the UK ones running out

Do you know which of these is the case as we do not want to get into any
trouble and be fined for non action.

Renew SIP card previously provisional 3 mths
Hi had a terrible time today. I went will all the documents required to Generalitat de Sanitat in ramblas nunes street went thro security took number 9th floor, I took also a Translater with me. I was told oh not here you need to go to Calle Mayor when there they then say you have to telephone a number which is usually busy and make an appointment lots of people waiting to be dealt with. I am a resident and Pensioner so am now waiting for an appt. When I see them I know they will say, even though all documents they asked for are with me, ´´well we need another doc why is it always like this they will probably say also that I need to go back to the 1st place Frustrated and went home they tried to say I will have to go back to the medico who gave me the Temporary SIP card!!! not. Can you give me some direction on nthis please feel i cant go through that again translators cost money I am learning spanish though Thanks Ellis
