How to Appeal a Driving License Point Deduction in Los Rosales (Template Download)
If you have recently received a notification from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) informing you of a loss of points on your Spanish driving license, it is essential to act quickly. This template is designed to help you formally appeal the administrative decision if you believe the sanction was applied incorrectly, if there was a procedural error, or if you were not the driver at the time of the infraction.
Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in Los Rosales
In Los Rosales and the surrounding Seville area, you have two primary ways to submit your appeal against a loss of points:
- Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using your Cl@ve PIN, digital certificate, or DNIe. This ensures an immediate registration number (número de registro).
- In-person: You can visit the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Seville. Note that for in-person procedures in Spain, you are almost always required to book an appointment (cita previa) beforehand on the official DGT website.
- By Mail: You may submit the document via a registered post office (Correo Certificado) addressed to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Seville.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your appeal is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to your application:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- A copy of the notification letter (the "notificación de detracción de puntos") you received from the DGT.
- Any evidence supporting your claim (e.g., photos, invoices showing you were elsewhere, or a statement from the person who was actually driving if you are identifying the real driver).
- If you are represented by a lawyer, a signed power of attorney (apoderamiento apud acta).
Expert Tip: Always keep a copy of the stamped document (or the digital acknowledgment receipt) as proof of submission. Remember that you generally have 20 calendar days from the date of notification to submit your appeal. If the sanction includes a monetary fine, paying the fine with the 50% "pronto pago" discount usually implies an admission of guilt, which may complicate an appeal regarding the loss of points. Consult with a legal expert if you are unsure about whether to pay or appeal.
