How to Authorize Someone Else to Take Your Vehicle for ITV in Cangas: Free Template Download
If you own a vehicle in Spain, you are legally required to pass the periodic ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos). However, if your schedule does not allow you to drive the car to the station yourself, you can authorize a friend, family member, or professional to do it for you. This article provides a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to ensure the process goes smoothly at the ITV station serving the Cangas area.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cangas
In the Cangas area (Pontevedra), you will likely be heading to the nearest official ITV station (such as the one in Porriño or nearby facilities managed by SYC ITV). The process is straightforward:
- Step 1: Complete the authorization letter provided below. You must print it and sign it by hand.
- Step 2: Ensure the person going to the ITV station brings their original DNI or NIE.
- Step 3: Present the signed authorization to the administrative desk upon arrival at the station.
- Step 4: You do not need to submit this to a government office; it is a private document to be shown directly to the ITV inspectors to prove you have granted permission for the vehicle's inspection.

Additional documentation required
To ensure the inspection is processed without issues, the person you authorize must bring the following documents to the Cangas/Pontevedra ITV station:
- The vehicle's original Permiso de Circulación (Registration Certificate).
- The original Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica (the green paper booklet).
- The signed authorization letter provided above.
- A photocopy of the vehicle owner's DNI/NIE (to verify the signature on the authorization).
- Valid proof of mandatory vehicle insurance (though this is often checked electronically, it is best practice to have it on hand).
Expert Tip: Always make sure your vehicle is up to date with its insurance payments before heading to the station. If the system shows that the vehicle is uninsured, the ITV station may refuse to perform the inspection, even if you have an authorization letter. If you are sending someone else, double-check that they have the original documents, as photocopies of the registration are generally not accepted by the inspectors.
