How to Request a Duplicate Driving License in Olvera: Downloadable Template
If you have lost your driving license or if it has been stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving in Spain. This article provides a clear guide and a ready-to-use template to help you navigate the bureaucratic process if you are a resident in or near the municipality of Olvera, Cádiz.
Instructions on how and where to submit your request in Olvera
In Spain, driving licenses are managed by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Since Olvera does not have a permanent DGT headquarters, you have two primary ways to handle this:
- Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using your Cl@ve PIN or Digital Certificate.
- In-Person: You must visit the nearest Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico. For residents of Olvera, the closest office is located in Cádiz (Calle Acacias, 1). You must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") by calling 060 or through the DGT website before arriving.
- The Template: The document provided below is an official notification to the administration to formalize your request for a duplicate due to loss, ensuring you have a written record of your intent.

Additional documentation required
When you go to the Jefatura or process the request, ensure you have the following ready:
- Official Form: The "Impreso de solicitud de trámites de conductores" (provided by the DGT).
- Identification: Your original DNI or NIE (if you are a foreigner, you must also provide your residence permit).
- Payment: You must pay the current DGT fee (Tasa 4.4) for duplicates. This can be paid online via the DGT website or via card at the office (cash is generally not accepted).
- Photographs: If you are applying in person, you may need a recent passport-sized photograph (32x26mm).
Expert Tip: Always carry a copy of your "Cita Previa" (appointment confirmation) and a copy of the payment receipt. While the DGT usually issues a temporary permit on the spot, keep it in your vehicle until your physical card arrives by mail. If you are stopped by the Guardia Civil in the Olvera area, having this documentation will prevent unnecessary fines while your new license is being processed.
