Lost Your Driver’s License in Torrecampo? Download Your Official Replacement Request Template
Losing your Spanish driver's license (Permiso de Conducción) can be a stressful experience, especially when you need to get back on the road quickly. If you reside in Torrecampo, you must follow the official procedures set by the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) to request a duplicate. This template is designed to help you formally request a replacement due to loss, theft, or deterioration, ensuring you have the correct legal wording to present to the authorities.
Instructions on how and where to submit your request in Torrecampo
As Torrecampo is a smaller municipality in the province of Córdoba, you do not have a local DGT office (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) directly in town. You have two main options to submit your request:
- Online via the DGT "Sede Electrónica": This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, Cl@ve, or your DNIe. You can pay the fee online and download a temporary permit immediately.
- In-person at the Córdoba Provincial Office: If you prefer to handle it in person, you must first book an appointment ("Cita Previa") by calling 060 or through the DGT website. You will need to travel to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Córdoba city.
- Post Office (Correos): You can sometimes process duplicate requests through official Correos branches by paying a handling fee, though verifying availability via the DGT website first is recommended.

Expert Tip: If you have lost your license, do not attempt to drive until you have received your temporary authorization or your new physical card. Driving without a license in Spain can lead to significant fines. If you are in a rush, always use the digital portal; it is much more efficient than traveling to the provincial capital, and you can print a temporary permit that is valid for 90 days immediately after payment.
