Additional documentation required
To increase the chances of your appeal being successful, you must attach supporting evidence. Do not submit originals; only submit copies of the following:
- A copy of the notification of the fine received.
- Your ID (DNI or NIE).
- Proof of the ITV appointment (if you had one scheduled at the time).
- Invoice or certificate from a mechanic workshop if the vehicle was undergoing repairs at the time of the fine.
- Any other document proving that the vehicle was not being driven on public roads or that the inspection was performed shortly after the fine was issued.
Expert Tip: Remember that if you choose to file an appeal, you waive your right to the 50% "early payment" discount. Only pursue an appeal if you have solid evidence, as the full fine amount will be due if the appeal is rejected. Always keep a copy of your submitted appeal stamped by the receiving authority for your records.
