My Wife & i used Nick Bateman, you can contact him at the Translingua office opposite the Citroen garage in Benijofar, or in calle los Arcos, in the same building as go satellites & Michael Burke of Digital hearing. As he does a lot of running customers about he is not always there, so i ask Michael Burke to phone him & tell him he has a customer waiting. & Nick will arrange to meet you. We found he took us to have all the medical tests, eyes, reactions etc, then all we had to do was wait, he did it all. More recently he took us to Almoradi to do new wills. much cheaper than a local well known soliciter wanted to add one sentence to our existing Spanish wills about English Law!
A friend used [url=mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url] for her License & said she was very happy with her. I have read good & bad reports about Nick, but each time i used him he was very good, if i was not happy then i would not have used him for our Wills.

That's the one I meant, excellent service and everything went smoothly. Took about 3 weeks but it was over Christmas.

I researched this a week ago. If you are a permenant resident you need to change your licence within a year or if your UK licence is due to expire and require to take the test described earlier. Simplest way is to use the services of a registered Gestor such as ORKE services for example. They will do everything for you and costs around 99€.
Having said all that I still have to get round to doing it. I'm told the test takes about 10 mins and involves an eye test and an aptitude test using a joystick similar to a games consul. There is no actual driving involved.

For the Psychomotor test we just went to the office over the flower shop in Rojales... no appointment, about 6.00pm... we sat in a waiting room for 10 minutes, this guy came in, spoke good English.. so no need for a translator here... then he asked us what medical problems we had.. we told him..we then had an eye test like in an opticians. Then he took our photos.
Then we sat at a very basic machine something like the old "Pong"... and had to follow a couple of lines with a blob...
We both did very badly on this but passed with flying colours..
We got a stamped piece of paper which needed to go to Traffico...
All done in 30 mins for both of us...paid our 80 euros.. (not bad for 30 mins work)
Done and dusted easily..

We used Paula Smith for our Driving Licences and had no problems at all, she did everything for us. We changed them before the medical requirement but Paula knows where to go for this too. We use her for other translation services as well and she is really good, reliable and honest.

Ours took about 3 weeks. We used Nick Bateman and his wife who did both licences. He had all the forms and went to trafico in Alicante and came back with a form to say we had applied to change them and got our original licences back. 10 days later we handed in the licences and they did another trip to trafico to hand them in and get a paper temporary licence for us. They then had to make another appointment as we had the old pink licences without a counterpart but got them accepted by trafico. Within the week we had the new ones sent to us in the post.
I know he got a bit of stick on another thread but he was in the process of setting up a new office in Benijofar at the time.
