Lost Your Driver’s License in Beranga? Download Your Duplicate Request Template Here
If you have lost your Spanish driving license or if it has been stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving. This template is designed to help you formally request a replacement document from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). While the DGT now processes many requests online, having a physical template ready is essential if you need to resolve administrative discrepancies or visit a local office in person.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Beranga
Beranga, located in the municipality of Hazas de Cesto (Cantabria), does not have a direct DGT office. For administrative procedures regarding your driver’s license, you must interact with the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Santander.
- Online: The fastest way is via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using your Cl@ve or digital certificate.
- In-Person: If you must submit a physical document or resolve an issue, you must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the Santander office located at Calle del Río de la Pila, 12.
- By Phone: You can call 060 to request information or book your appointment.
Note: You should fill out the template below if you are presenting a formal written request or a statement of loss to the administrative authorities.

Additional documentation required
When submitting your request to the DGT, ensure you have the following items ready to avoid unnecessary delays:
- Valid Identity Document: Your original DNI or TIE (Foreigner Identity Card).
- Official Fee: You must pay the DGT rate (Tasas) for the duplicate, which is currently rate 4.4 (approx. 20.81€). This can be paid online via the DGT website or at the office via card.
- Photo: If you are submitting in person, you may need to provide a recent passport-sized photograph (32x26 mm).
- Proof of Appointment: Always bring your "Cita Previa" confirmation code.
Expert Tip: Always double-check if your license was actually stolen rather than just lost. If it was stolen, it is highly recommended to file a police report ("denuncia") at the nearest Guardia Civil station before heading to the DGT. While a police report is not strictly mandatory for a simple replacement, it protects you against potential identity theft or fraudulent use of your license details. Keep a copy of your request stamped by the administration as your temporary proof of authorization until the new card arrives by mail.
