How to Replace Your Lost Spanish Driver’s License: Downloadable Template for Fermoselle Residents

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 drive again. This template is a formal request document designed to help you initiate the administrative process with the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT). By using this document, you ensure that your request is presented in the correct legal format required by Spanish authorities.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Fermoselle

As a resident of Fermoselle (Zamora), you do not have a DGT office in your immediate town. You have three primary ways to handle this:

• Online: The fastest way is via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using a digital certificate or Cl@ve. You will not need the paper template here, but you will need to pay the fee (Tasa 4.4) online.
• In-Person (By Appointment): You must travel to the nearest Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico). For Fermoselle residents, this is located in Zamora. You must call 060 or book an appointment online at the DGT website before going.
• Submission: If you are filing a formal written request, bring the completed document below to the Zamora Jefatura. Ensure you have your DNI or NIE ready.

Additional documentation required

When you attend your appointment in Zamora, you must bring the following items alongside your completed request form:

• Official Identification: Your original DNI or Passport (if you are a foreigner, your NIE and Residency Card).
• Proof of Payment: A receipt showing that you have paid the "Tasa 4.4" fee (currently 20.81€, subject to change). You can pay this online or at the bank before your appointment.
• Photo: A recent color photograph (32x26 mm), although many Jefaturas now take your photo digitally on-site.
• Declaration of Loss: If the license was stolen, it is highly recommended to bring a copy of the police report (denuncia) filed at the Guardia Civil station.

Expert Tip: Always double-check if your license is expired. If your license is due to expire within the next few months, it is often more cost-effective and efficient to request a "renewal" (renovación) rather than a "duplicate" (duplicado), as a duplicate will simply inherit the original expiration date of your lost license. If you are unsure, check the DGT website portal under "Consulta de puntos" to see your current status.
