Download Authorization Template to Pass the Spanish ITV in Arribe (Word/PDF)

If you own a vehicle in Spain but cannot take it to your mandatory Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV) yourself, do not worry. Spanish traffic regulations allow a third party to drive your vehicle to the inspection station on your behalf. However, to prevent vehicle theft and ensure legal compliance, the ITV stations demand a signed authorization letter along with specific identification documents. Whether you live in Arribe or are simply managing a vehicle registered nearby, this practical guide and ready-to-use template will help you complete the process smoothly.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Arribe

To use this authorization successfully in the area of Arribe, you do not need to submit it to a government office beforehand. Instead, the authorized driver must present the physical or digital document directly at the ITV station inspection lane or administrative desk upon arrival. Make sure the document is signed by the registered owner of the vehicle. If you are operating near Arribe, ensure you check the nearest authorized ITV station (often managed by regional concessionaires in Castile and León or the relevant autonomous community) and book your appointment in advance.

Additional documentation required

Simply bringing the authorization letter is not enough. When the authorized person arrives at the ITV station with your vehicle, they must also present the following mandatory documents:

• Original Vehicle Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación): Photocopies are generally not accepted.
• ITV Card (Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica de Vehículos): The technical sheet containing the vehicle's past inspection records.
• Valid Proof of Compulsory Insurance: Proof that the vehicle's insurance policy is currently active (receipt or digital confirmation, though the station often checks this electronically).
• Identification of the Driver: The original DNI, NIE, or Passport of the authorized person presenting the car.
• Copy of the Owner's ID: It is highly recommended that the authorized driver carries a photocopy or digital image of the vehicle owner’s DNI/NIE/Passport to verify the signature if requested by ITV personnel.

As an expert tip, always ensure that the vehicle has no pending traffic fines or mechanical issues (such as faulty lights or expired insurance) before sending someone else. If the car fails the inspection, the authorized person will receive the rejection report and must bring the vehicle back for a re-inspection within the legal timeframe once repairs are completed.
