How to Replace Your Lost Spanish Driving License in Salcidos: Downloadable Template

If you have lost your driving license while residing in or visiting the Salcidos area, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving. This process is mandatory, as driving without your physical license—even if you are legally licensed—can result in fines during routine traffic stops. This guide provides a straightforward template to help you navigate the administrative request process.

Instructions on how and where to submit your request in Salcidos

In Spain, driving license administrative issues are managed by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Since Salcidos is located in the province of Pontevedra, you have two main options:

Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using a digital certificate or Cl@ve system.
In-Person: You must schedule an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the nearest DGT Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Pontevedra. You can book this via the DGT website or by calling 060.
Submission: Bring the completed form, your identification (DNI/NIE/Passport), and proof of payment for the applicable administrative fee (Tasa 4.4).

Additional documentation required

To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must provide the following alongside the template:

Proof of Identity: Original and valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
Payment Receipt: Receipt showing payment of the "Tasa 4.4," which covers the administrative cost of the duplicate.
Photograph: If applying in person, you may be required to provide a current passport-sized photograph (32x26mm) if the DGT cannot retrieve your image from their digital records.
Declaration of Loss: While the DGT usually handles this via their own internal forms, having a signed declaration can be helpful if you are also filing a police report for identity theft.

Expert Tip: Always keep a copy of your stamped request or the online confirmation email in your vehicle. This serves as a temporary authorization to drive for a limited period until your new physical card arrives by post. If you are a non-resident, ensure your NIE information is up to date in the DGT system, as address discrepancies are the most common cause of processing delays in the Pontevedra province.
