How to Authorize Someone Else to Take Your Vehicle for ITV in Olaberria (Download Template)
If you are unable to take your vehicle to the mandatory ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) inspection in Olaberria, you do not need to worry. Spanish law allows a third party to complete the process on your behalf. However, to ensure the inspection center accepts the vehicle, you must provide the person driving it with a formal authorization document. This article provides a ready-to-use template to help you navigate this bureaucratic requirement smoothly.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Olaberria
The ITV station in Olaberria (Itevelesa) requires that the person presenting the vehicle carries a signed authorization from the registered owner. You do not need to submit this to a government office beforehand; simply print, sign, and give the physical document to the person who will be taking the vehicle to the appointment. Follow these steps:
- Download and fill out the template provided below.
- Ensure the vehicle's registration number (Matrícula) and your DNI/NIE are correct.
- Sign the document by hand.
- Hand the original document to the person driving the vehicle.
- When arriving at the Olaberria station, the authorized person must present this document along with the vehicle's original documentation to the ITV staff at the administration window.

Additional documentation required
Beyond the authorization letter, the person attending the appointment must have the following items to avoid being turned away:
- Vehicle Registration Certificate: The original "Permiso de Circulación" (you should never leave the original in the car, so ensure you hand it to the person driving).
- Technical Inspection Card: The original "Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica" (the green card).
- Proof of Insurance: While the ITV station verifies this electronically, it is highly recommended to carry the current receipt of the insurance policy.
- Valid Identification: The person driving must carry their own original DNI, NIE, or Passport to identify themselves to the ITV staff.
Expert tip: Always book your appointment online via the official Itevelesa website for the Olaberria station before sending the authorized person. Having the appointment confirmation (printed or on a mobile device) will speed up the process significantly. If your vehicle is older than 10 years, double-check that you have all previous inspection reports on hand, as they may be requested during the check.
