How to Get Your Duplicate Driving Licence in Ubrique Due to Loss (Free Downloadable Template)

Losing your driving licence can be a stressful experience, especially if you need to drive for work or daily life in Ubrique. Fortunately, obtaining a duplicate (duplicado) due to loss (pérdida) is a straightforward administrative process with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) in Spain. This guide explains the exact steps to replace your lost Spanish driving licence, how to handle the paperwork, and provides a ready-to-use official template to streamline the process.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Ubrique

Residents of Ubrique cannot process this directly at a local town hall (Ayuntamiento), as driving licences fall under the national jurisdiction of the DGT. However, you have two main ways to submit your application:

• Online: The fastest method is through the official DGT Electronic Office (Sede Electrónica) using a digital certificate, Cl@ve, or electronic DNI. You will pay the fee online and download your temporary driving authorization immediately.
• In-Person: You can request an appointment (cita previa) at the nearest Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico (usually Cádiz or Málaga, depending on convenience) by calling 060 or visiting the DGT website. Alternatively, you can use authorized gestorías in Ubrique to handle the submission on your behalf.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your application for a duplicate driving licence is processed without delays, make sure you have the following documents ready when dealing with the DGT:

• Official DGT application form (Solicitud de Conductores), which can be covered by the template above or filled out at the office.
• Proof of identity: Original and valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A recent original passport-sized photograph (32x26 mm).
• Payment of the official DGT fee (Tasa 4.1), unless exempt. You can pay this online beforehand or via credit card directly at the traffic office.

Expert tip: If you need to drive immediately while waiting for your physical plastic card to arrive in the mail in Ubrique, the DGT will issue you a provisional driving authorization (autorización temporal de conducción) valid for 90 days. Always keep it in your vehicle alongside an official form of identification. If you happen to find your original licence later, you are legally required to hand it in to the nearest Jefatura de Tráfico.
