Spain’s UK Licence Exchange Service – The DGT Process.

Are you moving to Spain? Whether your move is for retirement, business or simply a life change, you are likely to want to drive once you settle in Spain.

The March 2023 agreement allows switching from a UK to a Spanish license, but the administrative procedure with the DGT (Direção-Geral de Tráfego) remains somewhat complex. Our speciality is making the Canje process quick, easy, and stress-free. We expedite the procedure so you can focus on legally driving a car in Spain.
