How to Request a Duplicate Driver’s License in Santa Maria del Aguila: Downloadable Template
Losing your Spanish driver’s license can be a stressful experience, especially when you need to get back on the road quickly. If you reside in Santa Maria del Aguila or the surrounding areas of El Ejido, you are required to request a duplicate from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This article provides a clear guide on the process and includes a ready-to-use template to help you formalize your request.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Santa Maria del Aguila
In Spain, the DGT handles all licensing matters. Since there is no DGT office located directly in Santa Maria del Aguila, you have two primary options to submit your request:
- Online via the DGT "Sede Electrónica": This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, DNIe, or Cl@ve PIN to access the portal and pay the administrative fee.
- In-Person at the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico): The closest office to Santa Maria del Aguila is located in Almería (Calle Hermanos Machado, 4). You must book an appointment (cita previa) by calling 060 or visiting the DGT website before arriving.
While the online process often bypasses the need for a physical document, if you are visiting the office in person or sending a representative, you should bring a formal request letter to ensure your file is processed correctly.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is successful, you must have the following documents ready:
- Official Application Form: The standard DGT form for "Trámites de Conductores."
- Proof of Payment: The receipt of the current DGT fee (Tasa 4.4) for duplicates. You can pay this online or at a bank.
- Identification: Your original, valid DNI or NIE (Foreigner Identity Number).
- Photograph: If you are applying in person, you may need a current passport-sized photograph (32x26mm), though this is often unnecessary if your records are already digitized in the DGT system.
Expert Tip: Always double-check that your address in the DGT system matches your current address in Santa Maria del Aguila. If you have moved recently, update your address at the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) first, as the duplicate license will be mailed to the address on file. If you are in a hurry, remember that the digital version of your license is available via the miDGT app, which is legally valid for driving within Spanish territory while you wait for the physical card to arrive by mail.
