How to Download and Use the Authorization Template for ITV in Vilatenim (Word/PDF)

Heading to the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) in Spain can sometimes be a hassle, and what happens if you cannot personally drive your car to the inspection station? Fortunately, Spanish traffic regulations allow someone else to take your vehicle on your behalf. To do this legally, the authorized person must present a signed authorization letter together with specific identification documents. Whether you live in Vilatenim or are just visiting the area, having the right paperwork ensures your vehicle passes inspection without a hitch.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Vilatenim

If you need to send a representative to complete the mandatory vehicle inspection, you must use a written authorization letter. In the Vilatenim and Figueres area, the closest and most convenient testing station is the SGS ITV Figueres / Vilatenim station. When your authorized driver arrives at the station, they must present the completed and signed authorization document along with their own valid ID (DNI or NIE) and the original vehicle documentation (Permiso de Circulación and Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica). No prior appointment with the traffic headquarters (DGT) is needed for this authorization; it is handled directly at the ITV lane.

Additional documentation required

Simply handing over the authorization template is not enough. To ensure a smooth process at the Vilatenim ITV station, the authorized driver must also carry the physical or digital copies of the vehicle's official documents. This includes the vehicle registration certificate (Permiso de Circulación) and the technical sheet (Tarjeta de ITV). Additionally, make sure that the mandatory Compulsory Vehicle Insurance (Seguro Obligatorio) is up to date, as ITV personnel frequently verify this through the official database (FIVA). Finally, ensure the vehicle is clean, properly maintained, and that the person driving it holds a valid and appropriate Spanish or recognized EU driving license.

As an expert traffic consultant, my top tip is to always provide a photocopy of your DNI or NIE (front and back) alongside the signed authorization letter. While some stations are flexible, strict inspectors may demand proof that the signature on the authorization truly belongs to the registered vehicle owner. Save time, avoid second trips, and make sure your representative has all documents ready before leaving for Vilatenim.
