How to Request a Duplicate Driving License in Álora: Downloadable Template
If you have lost your Spanish driving license or it has been stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving. This process, known as a "Duplicado por pérdida o sustracción," ensures your documentation remains current in the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) system. Below, we provide a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to help you navigate this administrative requirement in the Álora area.
Instructions on how and where to submit your request in Álora
While the DGT allows for online processing via the Cl@ve system or the official DGT website, many residents in Álora prefer to handle this in person to ensure all details are correct. Since Álora does not have a permanent DGT office, you must visit the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Málaga.
- Step 1: Schedule an appointment (cita previa) by calling 060 or visiting the DGT website.
- Step 2: Prepare the form provided below, ensuring all your details match your NIE or DNI exactly.
- Step 3: Pay the official administrative fee (Tasas) for duplicates. You can pay this online before your appointment or via credit card at the office.
- Step 4: Present your ID and the completed documentation at your scheduled time.

Additional documentation required
To successfully process your request at the Málaga provincial office, you must bring the following items alongside your completed form:
- Valid Identification: Your original DNI or TIE (Foreigner Identity Card). If you are an EU citizen, bring your original passport along with your green NIE paper.
- Proof of Payment: The receipt for the payment of the DGT fee (Tasa 4.4).
- Photographs: While the DGT often uses your existing records, it is highly recommended to carry one recent color photograph (32x26 mm) just in case the system requires a manual update.
- Official Form: The "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form provided by the DGT office.
Expert Tip: Always double-check your address in the DGT system. If you have recently moved within Álora, use this opportunity to update your residency details (empadronamiento) so that your new license reaches the correct address if sent by post. Remember that driving without a license, even if you have lost it, constitutes a minor administrative infraction, so prioritize getting your duplicate as soon as possible.
