How to Appeal an Expired ITV Fine in Sesmonde: Download Your Template Here

Driving without a valid ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) in Spain is a serious administrative offense that carries significant fines, usually ranging from 200 to 500 euros. If you have been penalized by the authorities in the Sesmonde area and believe there are grounds for an appeal—or if you have already passed the inspection and wish to request a reduction—this template will help you formalize your claim.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Sesmonde

To submit your appeal, you must address it to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico of A Coruña, as Sesmonde falls under this jurisdiction. You have 20 calendar days from the notification of the fine to file your appeal (Recurso de Alegaciones). You can submit it in the following ways:

• Online: Using the "Sede Electrónica" of the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) with a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN.
• In-person: At any DGT office (by appointment only) or through the "Registro General" of your local town hall (Ayuntamiento) if they have a collaboration agreement (ventanilla única).
• By Mail: Sending the document via "Correo Certificado" (certified mail) from any post office (Oficina de Correos).

Additional documentation required

To ensure your appeal has the highest chance of success, you must attach the following documents to your template:

• A copy of your DNI or NIE.
• A copy of the notification of the fine (the "Boletín de Denuncia").
• If you have since passed the ITV: A copy of the "Ficha Técnica" showing the new inspection date.
• Any evidence supporting your claim (e.g., invoices for repairs that prevented you from going to the ITV station, or proof that the vehicle was not being used on public roads).

Expert Tip: Be aware that if you pay the fine within the first 20 days, you benefit from a 50% discount. However, by paying the fine, you effectively waive your right to file an appeal. If you decide to appeal, you lose the right to that discount. Only file an appeal if you are certain that the fine was issued in error or if there is a clear procedural flaw in the notification process.
