If you have lost your Spanish driving license or it has been stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate before you can continue driving.

Below, you will find a ready-to-use template to formalize your request at the local traffic office serving the Son Sant Joan area.
Instructions on how and where to submit your request in Son Sant Joan
The administrative office responsible for the Son Sant Joan area (Palma de Mallorca) is the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico. To submit your request effectively, follow these steps:
- Book an Appointment: You must schedule a "Cita Previa" via the official DGT website or by calling 060. You cannot simply walk into the office without an appointment.
- Prepare the Documentation: Print the template provided below and fill it out clearly in black ink.
- Payment: You will need to pay the administrative fee (Tasa 4.4) for the duplicate. You can pay this online via the DGT website before your appointment or via credit card at the office.

Additional documentation required
When you attend your appointment in Palma, you must bring the following items to avoid unnecessary delays:
- Proof of Identity: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Official Form: The "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form (provided by the DGT), though the template above serves as your formal letter of request.
- Photographs: While the DGT now uses digital systems, it is always wise to carry a recent passport-sized photograph (32x26 mm) just in case the system is undergoing maintenance.
- Proof of Payment: The receipt of the paid fee (Tasa 4.4).
Expert Tip: If your license was stolen, it is highly recommended to file a police report (Denuncia) at the nearest Policía Nacional or Guardia Civil station before heading to the DGT. While a police report is not strictly required for a simple "loss," it provides you with legal protection if someone uses your identity documents illicitly. Always check the DGT website 24 hours before your appointment to ensure there are no changes to the local office's operating hours.
