Additional documentation required

Even with the authorization letter, the person taking the vehicle to the ITV station in Combarros must present the following original documents:

• Permiso de Circulación: The vehicle's registration certificate.
• Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica (ITV card): The green booklet containing the vehicle’s technical history.
• Proof of Insurance: While the system is often linked, it is highly recommended to carry proof of valid insurance (receipt of payment or the policy).
• Identification: The authorized person must carry their original DNI, NIE, or Passport to verify their identity.

Expert Tip: Always verify that your vehicle's insurance is active in the DGT database before arriving at the station. If the ITV station cannot verify your insurance coverage electronically, they may refuse to issue the inspection sticker, even if you pass the technical test. If you are in doubt, bring a printed copy of your current insurance policy just in case.
