Whether due to an administrative error or a lack of proper notification regarding the original fine, this template will help you initiate the appeal process (Recurso de Alzada or Reposición) to protect your driving record.

Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in Doña Mencía

Since Doña Mencía is located in the province of Córdoba, you have several options to submit your documentation. You do not necessarily need to travel to the provincial capital unless specifically required:

• Electronic Submission (Recommended): You can submit the appeal via the DGT Electronic Headquarters using your Digital Certificate, Cl@ve PIN, or DNIe. This is the fastest and most secure method.
• Local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento): You can present the document at the "Registro General" of the Doña Mencía Town Hall. Under Law 39/2015, they are obligated to register and forward your document to the relevant traffic authority.
• Post Office (Correos): You can take the document to any Correos branch. Ensure it is sent via "Correo Administrativo," which means the clerk will stamp both your copy and the original to prove the date of submission.
• Provincial Traffic Headquarters: If you prefer to go in person, the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Córdoba is the primary office handling these records.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, you must attach the following documents along with your signed template:

• A photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the notification letter you received from the DGT.
• Any evidence supporting your claim (e.g., a copy of a sales contract if you sold the vehicle, medical reports if applicable, or proof of incorrect notification).
• If you are represented by a lawyer or agent, a signed authorization document (Representación).

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission. In Spain, the burden of proof lies with the administration, but if you do not have a "Registro de Entrada" (entry stamp) proving you submitted your appeal within the 15-day window, your case will be automatically rejected. If you are unsure about the specific legal grounds, consult with a local administrative lawyer in Córdoba before submitting, as the DGT's administrative process is highly formalistic.
