How to Request a Duplicate Driver’s License in Sant Ramon: Downloadable Template

If you have lost your Spanish driver's license or it has been stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving. This process is essential to avoid potential fines during traffic stops. Below, you will find a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to help you navigate this bureaucratic requirement in Sant Ramon.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Sant Ramon

In Spain, driver's license matters are managed by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Since Sant Ramon is in the province of Lleida, you have two primary ways to submit your request:

• Online: The fastest method is via the DGT website using your Cl@ve, digital certificate, or electronic ID.
• In-Person: You must visit the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Lleida. You are required to book an appointment (cita previa) online or by calling 060 before arriving.

While the online portal often guides you through the process, having a formal document ready is helpful if you need to authorize a representative or submit paperwork at a local town hall registry (Registro General) to be forwarded to the DGT.

Additional documentation required

When you go to the DGT or submit your request, ensure you have the following items ready:

• Official Application Form: The "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form provided by the DGT.
• Identification: Your original DNI, NIE, or valid passport.
• Fees: You must pay the official DGT fee (Tasa 4.4) for the duplicate, which can be paid online or via card at the office.
• Photo: A current passport-sized photograph (32x26 mm) if you are applying in person.

Expert Tip: Always double-check if your license is actually expired. If your license is nearing its expiration date, it is more cost-effective to perform a "renewal" (renovación) rather than a "duplicate" (duplicado), as a duplicate will retain the original expiration date of your lost license. If you are ever unsure, check your status on the official DGT "Mi Carpeta" portal to save time and money.
