Should take place BREXIT , the UK will no longer belong to the European Union, so that all agreements on trade within the EU will no longer be valid for UK citizens. Among other things, this means that the permissions from the UK will only be valid for driving in Spain during the first 9 months of the BREXIT, provided they are in force.
If you want to continue driving in our country, you must make an exchange (approval), renewal or replacement of your permission by one Spanish equivalent, must deliver the original.
The DGT launches a protocol that will allows the exchange of your license UK to Spanish equivalent in the same preconditions to BREXIT without having to wait for the signing of a new agreement between countries or having to obtain a new Spanish driving license.
For this you must be
holder of a driving license in the UK,

habitual residence in Spain
and submit an
application before [b]the November 1, 2019[/b]
. Thus, whatever happens on October 31, 2019, you guarantee that we address you to make the exchange of your license for a period of 9 months from the date of BREXIT.
At the time of the procedure will be withdrawn the original permit and give you a provisional permit. Within approximately a month and a half you have your final permit. You do not have to worry about going to your Chief or Office Traffic , you send it by mail to home.
