Thanks Pete. So it doesn't sound you had an issue getting another DGT appointment quite quickly - or is it a different type of appointment?

I notice that the Med Centre are offering an end to end process including dealing with DGT. You don't happen to know how much they charge for that do you?

Hi Bill, DGT Fuerteventura seem to have lots of appointments (trámites de oficina) you can book one here https://sedeclave.dgt.gob.es/WEB_NCIT_CO...Cita.faces I had no problem booking 2 on Wed and 2 more for Thurs.
Sorry, can't help with the Med centre process, we booked our tests and DGT ourselves.

So........ Based on the experience of two users, if you are given back your UK licence, hand it back and ask for a temporary licence!!## It will save you another trip.

I understand that EU citizens are allowed to keep their licence, which they surrender when collecting the Spanish licence. Clearly the staff haven't quite got used to the system for us non-EU folk yet.

Tom.

## No, necesito una licencia temporal, por favor.

Hi guys. Did somebody pass driving test on Fuerteventura? Is it reqlly possible to do in English?
I try to practice tests on practicatest website, but it seems that translations sometimes is not good and confusing, in DGT translations are similar?

why would you want to? Why not exchange the one you have, assuming of course that you have one?
To me drinking responsibly means do not spill it.

Ok.good luck with that the only person I know who has tried, failed theory 4 times and is waiting for his 3rd practical, while instructors speak English the examiners do not and while the instructor can sit in the car he cannot translate or indeed say anything.

I've been learning Spanish for 2 month, and as I saw in exams simulation on Youtube, there is not problem to pass driving part with base knowledge of Spanish, but tests better pass in English for my current Spanish level. And I know people who passed exams without any problems, but all of them passed both parts in Spanish. Anyway, thanks for the answer.
