Recently I have had cause to renew my UK driving license and because I am living in Spain, have to replace it with a Spanish one. Trafico have said I need a “green’ NIE document even though I have a NIE on white paper.
A friend suggested I do the process through a ‘gestoria’ who said that from April 1st this year, all expats are required to obtain a new NIE document on ‘green’ paper and until I get this I cannot renew my driving license.
I have had to supply the old NIE number, passport details, copy of medical card, my UK pension details, the UK reciprocal medical agreement, bank statement, and a document proving we are living where we say we are living from the local council.
Does anyone else know of this and would like to comment?
