Based in the town of Vera they will do everything to do with changing your licences, forms photos medical. Complete on site service.

Check the above website. For the charge they make is it worth trying to do it yourself?

Good advice Al - thank you.  I was under the impression, from the DGT website, that you had to have had Residencia for two years before you could swap.  I’ll contact them as well - thanks again

Saludos, Darío

As an English ex pat I do know it is compulsory after two years of Spanish residency you must change to a Spanish Driving Licence. Never listen to "bar room lawyers" as an Abogado would say. Always get professional advice.

On www.belegal.com you can see most answers to Spanish Law or ask a question for free.

Trust this helps, regards Al

We used CATS in La Alfoquia who did everything for us and had licences back within a few weeks without having residencia.

Would recommend.
