have you tried any yet?

presumably its a UK reg van and your Partner lives in the UK. if so why cant you use your partners address?


come to think about it you have a UK license , what address is on that?

I assume you didn't get anywhere or have forgotten that you asked and received replies to what seems to be the same question last November......

Motorhome insurance

Where is the van registered ?

He knows as a Spanish resident he should exchange his licence, and just a reminder the deadline is the end of February, I wouldn't rely on another extension you better prepare for taking a Spanish driving test.
If it's a UK registered motorhome it should be insured in the UK, and think probably illegal for you to drive it in Spain not having the correct license.
If you became a resident in the UK you would have no problems and be legal. Bob.

Bob as you know we can not exchange our licenses until we know what’s happening end of February.
The motorhome is owned and insured in my partners name who lives in the uk, I’m a named driver.
One insurance company will insure with a Spanish resident named driver.
If we get stopped it will be, insurance papers, passport, driving license, I won’t tell them I am a resident.
As for give up my residency I then go back to the 90 day rule then I’ve got to find somewhere to live in the uk.
So make sure the motorhome is insured legally and forget the rest.

The deadline to exchange your licence is the end of February, nothing has been mentioned beyond that date, after all how many extensions should they give, I think the Spanish have been very lenient and probably getting a bit fed up now, it's like all the people that had 5 years to get residency and then panic because they never knew they needed to do it .............. or maybe didn't want to believe it would happen.

You are a spanish resident . The Uk licence ,when in spain, is not legal.
If all the above applies & it is insured why do you need insurance?

 

[Rds559]

Until 28th of February my uk driving license is legal.
I don’t need insurance my partner has that.

When I became a Spanish resident it became illegal for me to drive a UK vehicle here,

*That depends on when you became a resident? If you were a resident before the transition period then it does't apply.It would only apply if you didn''t take out residency until in the transition period.

So what do you want then? I'm lost?

 

[Rds559]

I became a resident 20 May 21.
I want to drive a friends uk registered motorhome.
Other than that I’m lost

I don't think it's legal to do so.
