Lost Your Driver’s License in Beranga? Download Your Duplicate Request Template Here

If you have misplaced your Spanish driving permit, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving. This process is straightforward, but it requires specific documentation to be presented to the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Below, you will find a ready-to-use template in Spanish to formally request your duplicate, ensuring your application is processed without unnecessary bureaucratic delays.

How and Where to Submit Your Request in Beranga

As Beranga is located in the province of Cantabria, your administrative point of reference is the DGT Provincial Headquarters in Santander. You have two main ways to handle this:

• In-Person Appointment: You must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") through the official DGT website (dgt.es). You will need to visit the headquarters in Santander. Do not go without an appointment, as you will not be attended to.
• Online Submission: If you possess a digital certificate, Cl@ve, or electronic DNI, you can process the duplicate entirely online through the DGT "Sede Electrónica," which eliminates the need to visit an office physically.

Additional Documentation Required

When you attend your appointment or submit your request, you must have the following items ready:

• Official Application Form: The "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form provided by the DGT.
• Proof of Identity: Your original and valid DNI or Passport.
• Payment of Fees: You must pay the official fee (Tasa 4.4). You can pay this online via the DGT website before your appointment or via credit card at the office (cash is generally not accepted at DGT offices).
• Photograph: A current original photo (32x26 mm) in color and plain background. Note: If you process this online, you may not need to provide a physical photo depending on the current DGT digital requirements.

Expert Tip: While you wait for your new plastic card to arrive by mail, the DGT will provide you with a temporary authorization. Keep this document in your vehicle at all times, as it serves as your legal proof of entitlement to drive within Spain until the official license arrives. If you are planning to drive outside of Spain, please note that this temporary permit is not valid for international use; you must wait for the permanent card.
