How to Request a Duplicate Driver’s License in Alberic: Downloadable Template
If you have lost your Spanish driver’s license or it has been stolen, you cannot legally drive until you obtain a replacement. This article provides a clear guide and a ready-to-use template to help you navigate the bureaucratic process of requesting a duplicate (duplicado) from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico), ensuring you can get back on the road in Alberic as quickly as possible.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Alberic
In Spain, driver’s license procedures are centralized through the DGT. While you can often handle this online via the "Sede Electrónica" of the DGT using a digital certificate or Cl@ve, you may prefer to visit an office in person if you encounter technical issues or prefer professional assistance.
- The Nearest Office: The closest provincial headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) for residents of Alberic is located in Valencia (Carrer de la Guàrdia Civil, 24).
- Appointment Requirement: You must book an appointment (cita previa) online at the official DGT website before visiting. They will not attend to you without one.
- Submission: Present the completed form below along with your identification documents to the official at the counter.
- Payment: You will be required to pay the standard administrative fee (Tasa 4.4) for the issuance of a duplicate license, which can be paid by credit card at the office.

Additional documentation required
When you go to the Jefatura or prepare your digital application, ensure you have the following documents ready to avoid unnecessary trips:
- Valid Identification: Your original DNI or NIE card (and a photocopy). If you are a foreign national, you must also provide your Passport along with your TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero).
- Proof of Payment: The receipt of the paid administrative fee (Tasa 4.4).
- Application Form: The official DGT form "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" (often provided at the office, but the template above serves as a formal request letter).
- Photograph: While not always required if your photo is already in the DGT system, it is advisable to carry a recent passport-sized color photograph (32x26 mm) just in case a system update is needed.
Expert Tip: Before making the trip to Valencia, check the DGT website to see if you can resolve the issue via the "MiDGT" mobile app. If your data is up to date, you can often download a digital version of your license immediately, which is legally valid for driving within Spain. Always keep a photocopy of your police report (denuncia) if your license was stolen, as it serves as temporary proof of identity while you wait for the new card to arrive by mail.
