AMDifficulty 3/5

A Spanish driving licence is still valid, but its physical document is damaged. Which procedure replaces it for that reason?

Correct answer

Request a duplicate.

Request a duplicate from the DGT. Article 11 of the General Driver Regulations covers damage as well as loss or theft. A duplicate retains the original licence’s validity period; it does not renew or extend it. Article 10’s 15-day deadline for reporting changes in personal details is not a general deadline for requesting a duplicate because of damage.
