How to Request a Replacement Spanish Driver's License in Valdelacalzada: Downloadable Template
If you have lost your Spanish driver's license or it has been stolen, you are legally required to obtain a duplicate (duplicado) before you can continue driving. This process ensures your records with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) remain accurate. Below, you will find a ready-to-use template to help you initiate this administrative process if you are visiting the traffic offices serving the Valdelacalzada area.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Valdelacalzada
As Valdelacalzada is located in the province of Badajoz, the governing body for your driver's license is the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Badajoz. While many processes can be done online via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" with a digital certificate, if you prefer or need to handle this in person, follow these steps:
- Book an Appointment: You cannot simply walk into the traffic office. You must call 060 or visit the DGT website to schedule a "Cita Previa."
- Location: The provincial office is located at Calle Godofredo Ortega y Muñoz, 3, 06011, Badajoz.
- Submit the Form: Present the completed template below along with your identification documents at the information desk during your scheduled appointment.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, you must bring the following items to your appointment:
- Valid Identification: Your original DNI or NIE card (and a passport if you are a foreign national).
- Payment of Fees: You must pay the "Tasa 4.4" fee (currently 20.81€). It is highly recommended to pay this online via the DGT website before your appointment to save time.
- Photo: While the DGT usually retrieves your photo from their database, it is good practice to bring a recent passport-sized photograph (32x26 mm) in case of technical issues.
- The Form: The printed and signed template provided above.
Expert Tip: If your license was stolen, it is highly advisable to file a formal police report (denuncia) at the nearest Guardia Civil station in the area before requesting your duplicate. While not strictly mandatory for a simple loss, having a police report protects you from potential identity theft or misuse of your lost license. Always keep a digital copy of your request until the new physical card arrives at your home address by mail.
