Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, please bring the following items to your appointment:
- Official Identification: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Application Form: The official DGT "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form (or the template provided above).

Expert Tip: Always keep a photocopy of your request and the stamped receipt once submitted.

If you have any doubts, always check the official DGT website for the most recent updates on fees and digital identification requirements.
