Exchange a EU Driving Licence for a U/K driving Licence after Brexit

there is a period of change over after 31 Dec.  if you are unsure check the Government help site.  if you are over 68 you get three years when you can use your Spanish licence if over 70 you must exchange when you qualify as a resident again ie 185days.  if the licence expires you can't drive. 

If you’ve previously held a British Licence, you don’t need to swap as such, just quote your driver number on the application form and a new one will be issued to you.  As long as UK is GOING to now be your permanent residence, you don’t have to wait 183 days before applying.

I did this exact thing when returning from South Africa, I would not have been able to swap my South African Licence, but as I’d previously held a British Licence there was no problems.

Thank you Dario
