Download Free Authorization Letter to Pass the ITV in Villafria (Word/PDF)

Passing the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos - Spain's mandatory vehicle inspection) is a legal requirement, but what happens if you cannot take your car to the inspection station yourself? Whether due to work commitments, travel, or health reasons, Spanish traffic regulations allow a third party to take your vehicle on your behalf. However, to prevent vehicle theft and ensure legal authorization, the ITV station in Villafria will strictly require a signed authorization letter along with specific identification documents. This practical guide explains everything you need to know and provides a ready-to-use template to make the process seamless.

Additional documentation required

Presenting just the authorization letter and the physical vehicle at the Villafria ITV station is not enough. The authorized driver must also carry the following original documents inside the vehicle:

• Permiso de Circulación: The vehicle's registration certificate (digital copies or photos on a smartphone are generally not accepted; bring the original).
• Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica: The technical inspection card (the green sheet or the electronic ITV card).
• Valid Insurance Proof: Although check systems are increasingly electronic, it is highly recommended to carry proof that the compulsory vehicle insurance (Seguro Obligatorio) is up to date and paid.
• Identification: The authorized person must present their original DNI, NIE, or passport to prove they match the name written on the authorization letter.

Expert Tip: Always double-check that your vehicle's mandatory insurance and previous ITV paperwork are fully in order before sending a representative. If the vehicle fails the inspection, the authorized person is legally empowered to receive the report and schedule the re-inspection (segunda revisión), but make sure they clearly communicate the results and any minor or major defects back to you.
