How to Appeal a Driving License Point Deduction in Altura: Downloadable Template

If you have received a notification of point deduction from your Spanish driving license (permiso de conducir) while residing or driving near Altura, you have the legal right to contest the decision. This template is designed to help you formally challenge the administrative sanction if you believe there has been a procedural error, a lack of evidence, or if the notification was not served correctly. Using this document allows you to initiate the "Recurso de Alzada" or "Alegaciones" process with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico).

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Altura

To submit your appeal, you must act within the time limit specified in your notification (usually 15 to 20 business days). In Altura, you have several options to file your appeal:

• Electronic Submission (Recommended): Use the DGT’s official "Sede Electrónica" website using your Cl@ve PIN, digital certificate, or DNI-e. This is the fastest way to get a registration receipt.
• In-Person (General Registry): You can present the document at any "Oficina de Registro" in public administration offices. While Altura is a smaller municipality, you can visit the local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) to request they register it via the ORVE system (Oficina de Registro Virtual), which sends it directly to the DGT.
• Post Office (Correos): You can take your documents to any Correos office. Request that they send it via "Correo Administrativo," ensuring they stamp both your copy and the original to prove the date of submission.

• Evidence: Any documents that support your claim, such as photos, receipts, or witness statements.

Expert Tip: Always keep a copy of your appeal stamped by the registry office. If you do not receive a response within three months, the appeal may be considered "silencio administrativo" (denied by default), at which point you may need to consult a specialized traffic lawyer in the province of Castellón to escalate the matter to the judicial level. Accuracy in your dates and file numbers is critical for success.
