Additional documentation required

Beyond the signed authorization letter, the person taking your car to the ITV station near Maçanet De Cabrenys must carry the following original documents to avoid rejection:

• Permiso de Circulación (Vehicle Registration Certificate).
• Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica (Technical Inspection Card, often referred to as the ITV card).
• Valid compulsory car insurance policy receipt (Recibo del seguro obligatorio en vigor). Although inspectors check the online database (FIVA), bringing proof prevents delays if the system fails.
• Official IDs: A photocopy of the vehicle owner's DNI/NIE/Passport, alongside the original DNI/NIE/Passport of the authorized person who is driving the vehicle.

Expert Tip: Always make sure that the vehicle's mandatory insurance is fully up to date and that the authorized driver checks basic safety elements (lights, indicators, horn, and windshield wipers) before heading out from Maçanet De Cabrenys. If the vehicle fails a minor inspection point, having the authorization ready ensures the driver can bring the car back for the re-inspection without administrative hurdles.
