How to Update Your Vehicle's Fiscal Address in Bigastro: Downloadable Template
When you move your residence to a new municipality, such as Bigastro, you are legally required to update your vehicle’s fiscal address. This is not just a formality; your vehicle tax (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - IVTM) must be paid to the town hall where you are registered (empadronado). Failure to update this can lead to administrative complications and potential fines. This template provides a formal request to notify the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) and the local tax authorities of your change of address.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Bigastro
To update your vehicle's fiscal address, you must coordinate with two entities: the DGT and the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). Follow these steps:
- Step 1: Ensure you are officially "Empadronado" in Bigastro. You cannot change your vehicle's fiscal address to a town where you are not registered as a resident.
- Step 2: Visit the DGT website or their provincial office in Alicante to update the address on your driving license and vehicle registration (permiso de circulación).
- Step 3: Use the template below to notify the Bigastro Town Hall (Recaudación Municipal) to ensure your future IVTM bills are sent to your current address and to avoid double taxation.
- Step 4: You can submit this document in person at the Bigastro Town Hall "Registro de Entrada" or via their electronic office (Sede Electrónica) if you possess a digital certificate.

Additional documentation required
When submitting your request at the Bigastro Town Hall or the DGT, ensure you have the following documents ready:
- Proof of Identity: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Empadronamiento Certificate: A current certificate showing your registration in Bigastro.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original "Permiso de Circulación" of the vehicle.
- Proof of Payment: It is highly recommended to bring the receipt of the last paid vehicle tax to prove you are up to date with your obligations.
Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission (the "sello de entrada"). In Spain, bureaucracy can sometimes result in errors where two municipalities claim the same tax for the same year. Having a stamped document proving you requested the change on a specific date is your primary legal defense should you receive a duplicate tax bill.
