Lost Your Driving License in Ossa de Montiel? Download Your Replacement Request Template Here

If you have lost your Spanish driving license, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate (duplicado) before you can continue driving. This process is straightforward, but it requires formal notification to the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Below, you will find a ready-to-use template to formalize your request, which you can download or copy to present to the relevant authorities.

How and Where to Submit Your Request in Ossa de Montiel

Since Ossa de Montiel is a municipality in the province of Albacete, you do not have a local DGT office directly in town. You have three primary ways to handle this:

• Online via the DGT Sede Electrónica: This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, Cl@ve, or DNIe.
• In-person at the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Albacete: Located in the capital, you must book an appointment (cita previa) by calling 060 or visiting the DGT website.
• By Mail: You can submit the documentation via a "Registro General" at your local town hall (Ayuntamiento de Ossa de Montiel) so they can forward it to the Traffic Headquarters, though this is significantly slower.

Additional Documentation Required

When you go to the DGT office or submit your request, ensure you have the following items prepared, as the template alone is not sufficient to process the duplicate:

• Identity Document: Your original DNI or TIE (Foreigner Identity Card).
• Official Fee (Tasa 4.4): You must pay the DGT fee (approximately 21 euros) before submitting the request. You can pay this online via the DGT website or via credit card at the office.
• Photograph: A recent original photograph (32x26 mm) in color, plain background, facing forward, without sunglasses or any item that prevents identification.
• Appointment Proof: If going in person, ensure you have your "cita previa" confirmation number.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your request if you submit it through the Ayuntamiento. While your replacement is being processed, you are not legally authorized to drive. If you need to drive urgently, verify if the DGT provides a temporary authorization document (autorización temporal) at the time of your appointment, which is typically valid for 90 days within Spain.
