How to Request a Duplicate Driver’s License in Teo: 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 ensures your records are up to date with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This article provides a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to help you navigate this administrative procedure if you reside in or near Teo, A Coruña.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Teo
Residents of Teo must handle driver’s license procedures through the DGT. Since there is no local DGT office directly in Teo, you have two primary options:
- Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT Electronic Office using your Cl@ve, digital certificate, or electronic ID.
- In-Person: You must visit the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in A Coruña. You are required to book an appointment (cita previa) online or by calling 060 before showing up.

Additional documentation required
When submitting your request, whether in person or online, ensure you have the following documentation ready:
- Official Application Form: The "Solicitud de trámites de conductores" form provided by the DGT.
- Proof of Identity: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport (must be valid).
- Payment of Fees: You must pay the official DGT fee (Tasa 4.4) for duplicates. You can pay this online through the DGT website or at the office via card (cash is generally not accepted).
- Photograph: If you are attending in person, bring a recent 32x26 mm color photograph. If you do it online, the system will often use your existing photo on file.
Expert Tip: If your license was stolen, it is highly recommended to file a police report (denuncia) at the local Guardia Civil or Policía Nacional station before requesting the duplicate. While not always mandatory for the DGT, it protects you against identity theft. If you are doing the process in person at the A Coruña office, always double-check your appointment confirmation email; missing your time slot may require you to restart the booking process entirely.
