Lost Your Driving License in Gimenells? Download Your Duplicate Request Template Here
If you have lost your Spanish driving license, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving. This template provides a formal request letter to help you initiate the administrative process with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). While the DGT primarily manages these requests online or via their headquarters, having a formal letter of request is a professional way to document your submission if you are dealing with local administrative offices or specific regional inquiries.
How and Where to Submit Your Request in Gimenells
As Gimenells is located in the province of Lleida, you do not have a DGT office directly in your municipality. You have three main options to handle this:
- Online (Recommended): The fastest way is through the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using your Cl@ve or digital certificate. You will not need a physical letter for this process, but you can use the template below to keep a personal record of your loss.
- In-Person: You must visit the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Lleida. You will need to book an appointment (cita previa) online or by calling 060.
- By Phone: You can call 060 to request a duplicate, provided your information is up to date in their system.

Additional Documentation Required
To successfully process your duplicate request, ensure you have the following items ready:
- Identification: Your original DNI or NIE (if you are a foreign national, your residence permit).
- Payment of Fees: You must pay "Tasa 4.4" (approx. 20.81€). You can pay this online via the DGT website or at the Jefatura using a bank card (cash is generally not accepted).
- Photograph: If you are applying in person at the Lleida office, they will typically take your photo on-site, but it is wise to have a recent passport-sized photograph just in case.
- Application Form: The official DGT "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form, which is provided at the office or available for download on their website.
Expert Tip: Always keep a photocopy of your request and the receipt of your payment. If you are stopped by the Guardia Civil or Mossos d'Esquadra before your new license arrives, having a stamped copy of your application can serve as temporary proof that you have initiated the renewal process, though it does not technically replace the legal requirement to carry the physical card. Avoid driving until you have the replacement if possible, or at the very least, carry your DNI to verify your status in the system.
