How to Request a Replacement Spanish Driving License in Cretas (Downloadable Template)
If you have lost your driving license or had it stolen while living in or visiting the municipality of Cretas (Teruel), you must act quickly to obtain a duplicate. This official template is designed to help you formally request a replacement from the Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT) without the need for a costly lawyer, ensuring your paperwork is correctly structured for the local administrative offices.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cretas
Since Cretas is a smaller municipality, there is no local DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) office within the village itself. You have three primary ways to handle this:
- Online: The fastest method is via the DGT Electronic Office using a digital certificate or Cl@ve system.
- In-Person (Closest Office): You must visit the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Teruel. You are required to book an appointment (cita previa) online or by calling 060 before arriving.
- By Mail: You can submit the request through a local post office (Correos) using the "ORVE" system, which digitizes your documentation and sends it directly to the DGT.

Additional documentation required
When submitting your request, ensure you have the following documents ready to avoid multiple trips to Teruel:
- Official Application Form: The "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form (provided by the DGT).
- Proof of Identity: Your original and valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Payment Receipt: Proof of payment for the official DGT fee (Tasa 4.4), which can be paid online via the DGT website before your appointment.
- Photograph: A current original photograph (32x26 mm) in color, if you are applying in person.
- Police Report (Denuncia): Highly recommended if the license was stolen, as it protects you against potential identity theft.
Expert Tip: Always double-check your appointment time for the Teruel office. If you are unable to travel personally, you can authorize a representative to act on your behalf using a "Designación de Representante" form, which is also available on the DGT website. Keep a digital scan of your submitted paperwork until your new physical card arrives at your address in Cretas.
