Exchanging/renewing UK driving licence
 

Old topic but up-to-date info requested.

Has anyone done this recently and know what it now costs?

A friend recently did this and was charged a lot (I think) by her gestor.

By my understanding the charges are;

• 26.26€ for the licence at trafico
• a fee for countersigning the photos (20€ ?)
• a fee to do the leg work (30€ ?)
• a medical (30€ ?)

Have I forgotten anything?

My friend was charged 120€ plus the cost of a medical (yet to be done).

I had photos countersigned at a notary it cost me €4,52.

if she is going to pay that then she would be better off being fined for not changing it, lol

... she doesn't have to change it until it expires.

That's a really good price, i'll bare that in mind for later - thanks.

There is no requirement to have a photo countersigned. You attach the photo to a "talon foto" which you sign and that signature is scanned with the photo and printed on the licence.

Also, according to the information on the DGT site, a medical is NOT required for a licence exchange, although, depending on which DGT office you go to, they MAY ask for one.

If they insist on a medical it is very basic. Eye sight and blood pressure is all I can remember being checked.

They also are obliged to give you a simulated driving test on a computer. It's a bit like a 1980's computer game.

I have done the medical a number of times and it has always included the test, but that seems to depend on which centre you go to.

Yes, I forgot that, hate that sort of thing.
