Authorization to Take Your Car to the ITV in San Fulgencio: Free Downloadable Template (Word/PDF)

If your vehicle's Technical Inspection of Vehicles (ITV) is due, but you cannot drive it to the inspection station yourself, you don't need to worry. Spanish traffic regulations allow a third party—such as a family member, friend, or trusted mechanic—to take the car to the appointment on your behalf. However, to ensure the ITV station allows the inspection to proceed without the registered owner present, the driver must carry a signed authorization letter along with specific identification documents. This practical guide explains how the process works for residents in and around San Fulgencio.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in San Fulgencio

San Fulgencio is a charming municipality in the Alicante province (Comunidad Valenciana), located close to popular areas like La Marina. Because San Fulgencio does not have its own fixed ITV testing station within its immediate municipal borders, residents typically travel to the nearest authorized ITV stations managed by companies such as ITV Vega Baja or Applus+, located in nearby towns like Dolores, Elche, or Orihuela.

To use the authorization:

• Book your ITV appointment online or by phone with your chosen inspection center near San Fulgencio.
• Fill out, print, and sign the authorization template provided below.
• Hand over the physical document, along with the required identification, to the person driving your vehicle to the appointment.
• The authorized driver simply presents this paperwork at the ITV reception desk alongside the vehicle's official documents. No prior bureaucratic submission at a government office (like the DGT) is required; the document is presented directly to the ITV station staff on the day of the inspection.

Additional documentation required

Simply handing over the authorization letter is not enough. For the ITV staff in the Alicante province to accept the vehicle from a non-owner, the authorized driver must also carry the following mandatory documents inside the car:

• Permiso de Circulación: The official vehicle registration certificate (the original document is legally required, though a certified digital copy via the official miDGT app is increasingly accepted).
• Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica (ITV card): The technical sheet of the vehicle containing its history and specifications.
• Valid Insurance Proof: Receipt showing that the mandatory vehicle insurance (Seguro Obligatorio) is up to date. While ITV stations can sometimes check this electronically through the FIVA database, it is always safest to carry proof.
• IDs: A photocopy of the owner's DNI/NIE (ideally signed) alongside the original DNI/NIE of the authorized driver making the trip.

Expert Tip: Always make sure the vehicle is in good mechanical order before sending someone else to the appointment. If the vehicle fails its inspection, the authorized person will not be able to make major decisions regarding re-inspection timelines or paperwork changes without consulting you. Additionally, ensure that the vehicle's compulsory insurance is active; an ITV station will immediately reject any vehicle that lacks valid insurance coverage, regardless of who brings it.
