How to Change Your Vehicle’s Tax Address in Xirivella: Downloadable Template

If you have recently moved to Xirivella, you are legally required to update your vehicle's tax address (domicilio fiscal) with the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) and the local Tax Agency. This process ensures that your annual vehicle tax (IVTM - Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica) is billed to the correct municipality. Failure to update this can lead to administrative complications and fines. This article provides a ready-to-use template to facilitate this process at the local town hall or traffic office.

How and Where to Submit Your Request in Xirivella

To officially change your vehicle's tax address, you must first ensure your padrón (municipal registration) is updated at the Xirivella Town Hall. Once that is done, you should proceed as follows:

• DGT (Traffic Office): You can perform the change online via the DGT electronic headquarters using your digital certificate or Cl@ve. Alternatively, you can request an appointment at the Valencia Provincial Traffic Office.
• Xirivella Town Hall: You must notify the local tax office (Recaudación) to ensure they stop charging the IVTM from your previous municipality and begin charging it in Xirivella. You can submit the following document through the General Registry (Registro de Entrada) of the Xirivella Town Hall.

Additional Documentation Required

When submitting the template above at the Xirivella Town Hall or the DGT, make sure to have the following documents ready:

• Original DNI/NIE: A valid form of photo identification.
• Vehicle Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación): The document showing the current address. Note that the DGT may require an updated version of this document if you change your residence.
• Proof of Padrón: A certificate of residence (Certificado de Empadronamiento) issued by Xirivella Town Hall within the last three months.
• Proof of ownership: The vehicle's technical sheet (Ficha Técnica) is often requested for verification purposes.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of the submitted template (the Registro de Entrada copy). This serves as your legal proof that you have initiated the change. If you have recently moved, prioritize the DGT update first, as the tax system in Spain is increasingly digitized and will often sync automatically once the DGT records are updated, though notifying the Xirivella local tax office directly avoids "double billing" errors between municipalities.
