Additional documentation required
To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, you must attach the following documents to your template:
- A copy of the notification letter (the fine itself).
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Any evidence supporting your claim (e.g., proof that you were not driving the vehicle at that time, such as a rental contract or a work certificate).
- If you are represented by a third party, a signed authorization document (Representación Legal).
Expert Tip: Be aware that if you submit an appeal, you lose the 50% "prompt payment" discount (pronto pago). Only appeal if you have strong evidence or if the fine contains a clear administrative error. If you choose to pay the fine, do so within the first 20 days to benefit from the discount, as paying the fine is considered an admission of guilt and will automatically close the case.
