Found this on Google http://www.idl.me.uk/

International Driver License is printed in 8 languages: the five United Nations official languages (English, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese) as well as German and Arabic. It is also easy to apply for and does not require taking a driving test.

 

ROBI,
      This Site looks well fishy to me - I mean totally suspect !!!
And the fact they don’t even use PayPal says to me that they don’t want to get rumbled..

They aren’t even spelling their words correctly. See below :-

An International Driving Licence is NOT a driving licence at all. It is a document which provides a translation of your Driving Licence
and is required to be carried in certain countries alongside your licence. On its own it is worthless.

Why didn’t he get the requested driving history form from DMV ?

http://www.dmv.org/driving-records.php

I’ve requested a D737 from DVLA for my history so I can get a Spanish License and maintain my EU history.
I understand the DMV License isn’t directly exchangeable for an EU License, I had a Georgia License and the test was a joke, but surely the DMV form would’ve enabled him to carry a form of history / no L Plates ??

DSB.

If the licence isn’t directly exchangeable then the history doesn’t count either. I’ve had my licence for 34 years (40 including motorcycles) and I still have to display the green L.

I merely refer, I am not recommending as I don’t have experience of their service.

I am lost for words !
Come on now - they are leaving the honesty down to us ?
To ‘click’ on your driving entitlements ??

How would they “get” a license ??

Plus they want your Mothers’ maiden name and visa numbers before continuing the application :O
Also the Spanish license example is a typical google picture - lol

The phrase if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn’t springs to mind.
All anyone would need to do is contact the issuing authority with the licence number and the game is up.

Can anyone answer this question. I hold a current UK Drivers License and I am now living and registered in Spain. Can I simply exchange my current license for a Spanish license without having to pay for a new test? I live in Barcelona, where and whom would I contact to accomplish this task?

Simple answer is yes you can exchange it; you only need to pay for the test if you hold a non EU license (or your UK license was origionaly exchanged from a non EU licence) and therefore have to take the test.
There are several ways to do it but the easiest is to go to a gestor who will do all the paperwork etc. for you.

Ok, lets take a stab at my situation.

I am from Texas, my D.L. expires in 2010. So as soon as I get my Spanish residency done *my wife is Spanish* my current Texas D.L. is not valid anymore here in Spain???  YES or NO?

This whole “International Drivers License” ordeal.  Is this valid or invalid once my residency papers become official?

I really do not want to take the test again. I really do not want to take it in Spanish, and I really do not feel like paying for something that I have been doing for almost 16 years of my life.

My wife keeps telling me that there is no such thing as a valid “International Drivers License” and the whole thing is a scam. I do now know what to think anymore.
