Can you have BOTH a Spanish Driving Licence and UK Driving Licence
#1
Another licence related query. Can you have BOTH a Spanish Driving Licence and UK Driving Licence or are they mutually exclusive?
Thanks

The only way I suppose would be to hold onto your U.K. license & just do the Spanish test, depending on how difficult it is language wise etc

I'm looking to break the rules. Just asking if it is acceptable.
In the US we held a US licence, at the same time as we held a UK one. Perfectly legal.
Thanks

I understand there is a way to do it but you have to tell a lie and I'm not sure it is 100%.

So basically. You don't need a Spanish one. Any EU licence will do! So no problem then (at the moment)  Wink
But maybe different when we leave.

Not sure what the timescale is (I am sure someone on here will though) but you do (are supposed to) change your U.K. license for a Spanish one if you are on the island for an extended period. I did think it was 6 months but not sure on that one. 
Would an alternative not be to get a U.K. license updated to an EU license. Presumably when we leave this would still be valid until it was due for renewal ? Just thinking out loud  Big Grin Big Grin

As an additional comment, I was told yesterday by our local post office that from next month they were updating to issue IDP’s. Up to now in Scotland they were only available in Edinburgh & Dundee for my side of the country.
