How to Authorize Someone Else to Pass the ITV in Guitiriz (Downloadable Template)

If you are unable to take your vehicle to the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station yourself, you do not need to worry. Spanish law allows you to authorize a friend, family member, or professional to take your car to the inspection on your behalf. This article provides a practical guide and a ready-to-use template to ensure the process goes smoothly at your local ITV station in the Guitiriz area.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Guitiriz

In the vicinity of Guitiriz, the most common inspection point is the mobile station or the nearest permanent ITV center in the province of Lugo. Before you send your representative, follow these steps:

• Download and print the authorization template provided below.
• Fill in all the required details: the vehicle’s license plate (matrícula), the owner's personal details, and the authorized person's full name and ID number (DNI/NIE).
• Sign the document. It is highly recommended to attach a photocopy of your ID (DNI/NIE) to the authorization so the technician can verify the signature.
• Provide the authorized person with the original "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate) and the "Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica" (the green technical card).

Additional documentation required

When your authorized representative arrives at the ITV station, they must present the following documents to the administration desk:

• The original "Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica" (the green card).
• The original "Permiso de Circulación" of the vehicle.
• Proof of valid insurance (the system usually checks this digitally, but it is safer to bring the receipt).
• The signed authorization document and a photocopy of the owner's DNI/NIE.
• The authorized person’s own original DNI/NIE.

Expert tip: Always check if your local ITV station requires an appointment (cita previa) online before sending your representative. Even with authorization, if the vehicle does not have a confirmed booking, the station may refuse to perform the inspection. Ensure all paperwork is in physical, original format, as digital copies on phones are not always accepted by the inspectors in Lugo province.
