Thanks John I think I'll just have to see how this plays out. As long as I don't get a massive fine and have to take a driving test again I will be happy.

I don't live in the U.K and haven't done for years. I am an Irish passport holder although I am from Northern Ireland where did my driving test 20 years ago. I renewed my driving license using my parents address as I move around a lot not for any dodgy reasons it's just more practcal to not have to change addresses every few years, or so I thought! And yes John I have an NIE.  From what I can gather the License is in Trafico in Bilbao I have an appointment in a few weeks to review my case hopefully it will be a straight forward change from my U.K license to a Spanish one but I won't hold my breath for that, from what I can gather. Just out of interest does anyone know if it would be easier or more practical just to get an international License over here?

Hi, maybe somebody has expierience with this situation, a few day ago I was stopped by the police in Vizcaya and my license taken as from what they told me I should after living in spain for 8 years or so have a spanish license. They have sent it to trafico in Bilbao what will I be required to do? I have a NIA but have never been a spanish citizen what will I be required to do I have heard rumours that I may have to do my test again in spain which seems excessive.
