I am sure most of you have already changed your UK driving licenses to a Spanish one. If this is your case, then this message is irrelevant. But if you still have your UK license and it is your intention to keep living and driving in this country then it is very important that you do the following;
Sometime before December 30th 2020 you must do an online application on the Spanish Tráfico website ( DGT) to either exchange ( if license is still valid) or renew ( in case your UK license has expired). Once this application is done, if you do not receive a negative reply within 3 days saying the UK authorities have denied the exchange or renewal ( very unlikely unless your license is forged or you are a terrible driver), then you can book an appointment at Tráfico Offices in Puerto del Rosario anytime from 3 days after application to June 30th 2021. This is the appointment where you have to pass the sight and reflexes test, and then you present all the paperwork and you receive the new license about 40 days later.
The Spanish Tráfico Authorities strongly suggest British Nationals to do this and minimize the possible effects of a no-deal Brexit. The reason for this is that a no-deal Brexit will mean your UK licenses will have "third country" consideration, so you will be allowed to drive in Spain only for 6 months after Dec 31st 2020, and then if you want to keep driving, you will have to pass the Spanish Driving Exam,
