Download the Authorization Template to Pass the ITV for Someone Else in Tam On (Word/PDF)

Taking your vehicle to the mandatory Spanish Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV) can sometimes conflict with your work schedule or personal commitments. Fortunately, Spanish traffic regulations do not require the registered owner of the vehicle to be the one who physically drives it to the inspection station. If you need a trusted friend, family member, or a professional service to take your car or motorcycle to the ITV station, you can easily delegate this task using a formal authorization letter. This guide will help you understand the process and provide a ready-to-use template tailored for drivers in Tam On.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Tam On

To use this authorization successfully in Tam On, the authorized person must present the physical document—along with other mandatory vehicle paperwork—directly to the administrative desk (recepción) of the ITV station before the inspection begins. While there is no official nationwide government form for this, stations operating in the region accept signed private authorization letters as long as they contain the necessary identification details for both parties and a clear statement of consent. Make sure the person you designate brings the printed, signed letter, alongside a photocopy of your valid ID (DNI or NIE).

Additional documentation required

In addition to the signed authorization letter and identification documents, the authorized driver must bring the standard paperwork required for any ITV inspection in Spain. This includes the vehicle's original Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación) and the Technical Inspection Card (Tarjeta de ITV). It is also highly recommended to carry proof that the vehicle has a valid compulsory civil liability insurance policy (and while physical receipts are no longer strictly mandatory if traffic authorities can check it online, presenting the recent receipt speeds up administrative checks at the station).

As an expert tip, always ensure that the authorization matches the exact details on the vehicle's registration papers and that the signatures are authentic. Double-check that the vehicle's ITV hasn't already expired by a significant margin if you are driving it on public roads in Tam On to reach the station, as driving with an expired ITV—even directly to the inspection center—carries the risk of a fine unless you have specifically booked an appointment and follow the most direct route.
