How to Authorize Someone Else to Pass the ITV in Poligono Residencial de Arinaga (Downloadable Template)
If you are unable to take your vehicle to the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station yourself, Spanish law allows you to authorize another person to do it on your behalf. This is a common situation for residents in the Poligono Residencial de Arinaga area who may be working or traveling during their scheduled appointment. To ensure the inspection center accepts the representative, you must provide them with a signed authorization letter.

Additional documentation required
Beyond the authorization letter, the person attending the ITV station must bring the following original documents to avoid any issues:
- Permiso de Circulación: The original vehicle registration document.
- Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica de Vehículos: The original ITV card (the green booklet).
- Proof of Insurance: While the inspectors can check this digitally, it is highly recommended to bring proof of valid insurance.
- ID of the Representative: The person taking the car must bring their own original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
Expert Tip: Always double-check that your vehicle’s insurance is active in the national database (FIVA) before heading to the Arinaga station. If your insurance was recently renewed, the system might not show it immediately, so bringing a printed receipt from your insurer can save you from a failed inspection result. Additionally, ensure the person you authorize is aware of any specific mechanical quirks your vehicle may have, as the inspectors might ask them questions during the test.
