Downloadable Authorization Template: Passing the ITV in Zumaia (Word/PDF)
If you are unable to take your vehicle to the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station yourself, Spanish law allows you to authorize another person to do it on your behalf. This template is designed for residents in Zumaia and the surrounding Basque Country area to ensure the ITV station accepts the representative presenting your vehicle for inspection.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Zumaia
In Zumaia, you do not need to submit this document to a government office beforehand. Instead, you must hand it directly to the staff at the ITV inspection station at the moment of the appointment. Ensure the following steps are taken:
- Print and Sign: Complete the template below, ensuring both the owner and the authorized person sign it.
- Location: While there is no ITV station within the town center of Zumaia, residents typically use the nearby stations in Olaberria or the mobile units that occasionally visit the area. Always check your appointment confirmation for the specific address.
- Presentation: Give the signed document to the technician or administrative clerk at the ITV reception desk along with the vehicle documentation.

Additional documentation required
To ensure the process goes smoothly at the ITV station, the person going on your behalf must bring the following items:
- Original Vehicle Documentation: The "Permiso de Circulación" (Registration Certificate) and the "Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica" (the technical sheet, usually green).
- Valid ID: The authorized person must present their own original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- The Authorization Document: A printed and signed copy of the template provided above.
- Proof of Insurance: It is highly recommended to bring proof of valid insurance, as the station may verify that the vehicle is covered.
Expert Tip: Always verify that your vehicle's insurance is paid up-to-date, as the ITV station will check the "Fichero Informativo de Vehículos Asegurados" (FIVA) database. If the insurance is not registered in the system, the inspection may be rejected regardless of who brings the car. Also, ensure the authorized person has the keys to the vehicle and knows how to operate the lights, bonnet, and seatbelts, as they will be asked to assist the inspector during the check.
