Does anyone know if we can get UK driving licences encrypted/stamped at the Spanish Embassy in London?

It is impossible to get through to the right department by phone to ask, I have tried for a week! I have e mailed too, but not yet received a reply!

If we leave it til we get back to Tenerife, where they send it to Madrid, it may prevent my husband starting work again until he gets it back, as he needs his licence for his work. He has to forfeit his Spanish licence in the UK to be able to use the UK one for work in the UK!

It would mean reapplying for a Spanish licence when in Tenerife & for the UK one every time we are in the UK; could become costly

I wondered if anyone on the forum has ever had their licence dealt with in the UK?
