How to Request a Duplicate Driver’s License in Corbera: Free Downloadable Template
Losing your Spanish driver's license can be a stressful experience, especially when you need to get back on the road quickly. If you live in or near Corbera, you must follow the official DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) procedures to obtain a duplicate. This article provides a clear, practical guide and a ready-to-use template to help you navigate the bureaucracy of replacing your lost permit.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Corbera
In Spain, the process for requesting a duplicate driver's license is centralized through the DGT. Because there is no DGT office directly in Corbera, you have three primary ways to submit your request:
- Online via the DGT "Sede Electrónica": This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, Cl@ve, or your DNIe.
- By Phone: You can call 060 to request the duplicate. You will need to pay the fee beforehand.
- In-Person at a Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico: The closest office to Corbera is the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Valencia (located at Carrer de la Guàrdia Civil, 24). You must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") online or by calling 060 before showing up.
If you choose to submit a formal written request or need to authorize someone else to do it for you, you should use the template below.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is successful, you must have the following documents ready:
- Official Identity Document: Your original, valid DNI or Passport.
- Proof of Payment: You must pay "Tasa 4.4" (the fee for a duplicate). You can pay this online through the DGT website or at the Jefatura using a bank card (cash is generally not accepted).
- Application Form: A completed "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form (provided by the DGT).
- Photo: If you go in person, you may need to bring a current 32x26mm color photograph, although most Jefaturas now take your photo digitally on-site.
Expert Tip: Always keep a digital copy of your payment receipt and, once your duplicate is requested, print the temporary authorization document provided by the DGT. This document allows you to drive legally in Spain for 90 days while your physical card is being processed and mailed to your home address in Corbera. If you are traveling abroad, wait until your physical card arrives, as the temporary permit is not valid outside of Spanish territory.
