Additional documentation required
To successfully pass the ITV in Sant Quirze del Vallès, the authorized person must bring more than just the letter. Ensure they carry the following original documents:
- Ficha Técnica: The vehicle's technical specifications card (the green card).
- Permiso de Circulación: The vehicle's registration certificate.
- Proof of Insurance: While the station can often verify this electronically, it is best practice to carry the receipt of the current insurance policy.
- The Authorization Letter: The document provided above, accompanied by the owner’s DNI/NIE photocopy.
Expert Tip: Before heading to the station, always verify that your vehicle's insurance is active in the DGT database. If the insurance status is not showing as "active" in the system, the ITV station may refuse to perform the inspection, regardless of who is driving. Additionally, ensure the authorized person has a valid driver's license, as they will be required to move the vehicle through the inspection lanes.
