Lost Your Driver’s License in Manilva? Download Your Official Replacement Request Template
If you have lost your Spanish driving license or if it has been stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate to continue driving. This process is straightforward, but it requires specific formal notification to the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Below, you will find a ready-to-use template to help you navigate this administrative requirement efficiently.
How and Where to Submit Your Request in Manilva
In Spain, the DGT manages all driver’s license matters. While you can often perform this procedure online via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using a digital certificate or Cl@ve, many residents in Manilva prefer the in-person route. Since there is no DGT office directly in Manilva, you must schedule an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the nearest provincial headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Malaga.
- Visit the official DGT website to book your appointment.
- Select "Trámites de oficina" and choose the "Duplicado por pérdida, deterioro o sustracción" option.
- Ensure you bring the completed template below, your original ID (DNI or NIE), and your payment receipt for the administrative fee (Tasa 4.4).

Additional Documentation Required
To ensure your visit to the Malaga office is successful on the first attempt, make sure you have the following documents ready:
- Proof of Identity: Your original, valid DNI or NIE card (and a photocopy).
- The Fee: Payment of "Tasa 4.4" (approx. €20.81). You can pay this online through the DGT website before your appointment or via credit card at the office.
- Photo: If your photo in the DGT system is very old, it is highly recommended to bring a current passport-sized photograph (32x26 mm) in color.
- Appointment Confirmation: Keep a digital or printed copy of your "Cita Previa" confirmation.
Expert Tip: Always double-check your address in the DGT system before submitting your request. If you have recently moved to Manilva, ensure your "padrón" is up to date, as the duplicate license will be sent to the address currently registered in the DGT database. If you suspect your license was stolen rather than lost, it is advisable to file a police report ("denuncia") at the Guardia Civil station in Manilva before starting this process, as this may exempt you from paying the administrative fee.
