How to Change Your Vehicle’s Tax Address in Santa Cruz de Bezana: Downloadable Template
If you have recently moved to Santa Cruz de Bezana, you are legally required to update the tax address (domicilio fiscal) of your vehicle. This is crucial for correctly paying the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM), commonly known as the "road tax," to the local town hall rather than your previous municipality. Failing to do so can lead to administrative complications and unnecessary fines. Below, you will find a ready-to-use template to notify the authorities of your change of address.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Santa Cruz de Bezana
To update your vehicle's tax address, you must interact with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) and the local town hall. Since the DGT manages the vehicle registry, you must first update your address in their records. You can do this online via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using a digital certificate or Cl@ve. Once the DGT record is updated, the town hall of Santa Cruz de Bezana will automatically receive the data for the road tax. However, if you need to formally notify the local administration for specific municipal tax purposes, you should present the following document at the Ayuntamiento de Santa Cruz de Bezana via the "Registro General" (in-person or via their online electronic office):
AL AYUNTAMIENTO DE SANTA CRUZ DE BEZANA

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays at the Santa Cruz de Bezana Town Hall, please prepare the following documents:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- The vehicle's "Permiso de Circulación" (Registration Certificate).
- A "Volante de Empadronamiento" (Certificate of Registration) issued by the Santa Cruz de Bezana Town Hall proving you currently reside at the new address.

Expert Tip: Always prioritize updating your address with the DGT first. In Spain, the DGT database is the primary source of truth for all municipalities. If you are moving from another province, ensure you have paid the road tax in your previous municipality for the current year, as the change in the town hall's registry will take effect for the following fiscal year. If you have any doubts, visit the "Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano" in Santa Cruz de Bezana to confirm that your vehicle is correctly linked to your new tax profile.
