Other countries have access to DVLA so I assume DVLA can access theirs. Feb 2020 I applied to exchange my license here and by the time the temporary one ran out (which was only valid in Portugal) I was back in UK and obtained duplicate UK one. In January, Portuguese wrote and told me I had to hand it in before getting theirs. I haven't bothered.

One of the things people often dont realise is if Brits were to overstay their 90-day stay visa in, say, Spain then they don't just risk be immediately deported... ...they risk being banned from entering ALL of the 26 European Schengen Zone countries.
