How to Request a Duplicate Driver’s License in Laxes (As): Downloadable Template
Losing your Spanish driver’s license can be a stressful experience, especially if you need to get back on the road quickly. If you have misplaced your card or had it stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate. This template will help you formally request a replacement from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico), ensuring your paperwork is in order before you visit the authorities.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Laxes (As)
In Spain, the DGT handles all driver license matters. Since there is no permanent DGT office directly in Laxes (As), you have two 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. You can pay the fee online and download a temporary authorization immediately.
- In-person appointment: If you prefer to submit the request physically, you must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the nearest Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in A Coruña. You can book this through the DGT website or by calling 060.

When you go to the Jefatura or prepare your online submission, ensure you have the following ready:

- Proof of Identity: Your original and valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Payment of Fees: You must pay the current fee (Tasa 4.4) for a duplicate license. This is typically done via the DGT website before your appointment.
- Photograph: If you are applying in person, you may need to provide a recent passport-sized photograph (32x26 mm).
Expert Tip: Always check the DGT website for the most recent fee amounts, as these change annually. If you are in a rush, opt for the digital route; it eliminates the need to travel to A Coruña and allows you to print a temporary permit that is valid for driving within Spain while your physical card is being processed and mailed to your home address in Laxes.
