Download Word/PDF Authorization Template to Pass the ITV for Someone Else in Playa De Las Americas

If your vehicle's mandatory Technical Inspection (ITV) is due, but you are unable to drive it to the inspection station yourself, you can legally authorize a trusted third party to take the car on your behalf. In Spain, ITV stations (estaciones de ITV) require explicit written permission from the registered owner to process the inspection if the person presenting the vehicle is not the owner listed in the vehicle registration certificate (permiso de circulación). This practical guide explains how to handle this bureaucratic process smoothly if you are based in or around Playa de Las Americas.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Playa De Las Americas

To use this authorization in the south of Tenerife, the authorized driver must bring the physical document to the nearest ITV station serving the Playa de Las Americas area. The closest authorized facility is the ITV Guaza (TÜV SÜD), located just a few minutes away in the Polígono Industrial de Guaza. Alternatively, you can book an appointment at other nearby stations on the island.

Step-by-step submission process:

• Complete, date, and sign the authorization template provided below.
• Make sure both the vehicle owner and the authorized person sign the document.
• Make a clear photocopy of the vehicle owner's DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• The authorized person must present the signed physical document, the owner's ID copy, their own original ID, and the vehicle documentation directly at the ITV administrative window upon arrival at the station in Guaza.

Additional documentation required

Simply having the authorization form is not enough to pass the inspection. When the authorized driver arrives at the ITV station near Playa de Las Americas, they must also present the following mandatory documents:

• Permiso de Circulación: The original vehicle registration certificate (or a certified digital copy via the official miDGT app).
• Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica (Ficha Técnica): The technical inspection card of the vehicle.
• Proof of valid compulsory insurance (Seguro Obligatorio): While the station can often check this electronically in the Spanish database (FIVA), it is always safest to carry the latest receipt or policy.
• Payment method: Cash or credit card to pay the official ITV fee upon arrival.

Closing paragraph with expert tips

As an expert legal tip, always ensure that the vehicle's mandatory insurance is fully up to date and active under the owner's name before sending someone else to the ITV station, as stations cannot perform the inspection if the vehicle lacks insurance coverage in the national database. Furthermore, double-check that the photocopies of the IDs are legible and valid (not expired), as administrative staff at stations like ITV Guaza are very strict with identification protocols. Securing an appointment online in advance will also save the authorized driver considerable waiting time under the sun in South Tenerife.
