Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in San Juan de Mozarrifar
In Spain, you typically have 20 calendar days from the date of notification to file an appeal. If you pay the fine within this period, you lose your right to appeal, even if you pay with the 50% "early payment" discount. To submit your document:
- Electronic Submission: The most efficient way is via the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) Electronic Headquarters using a digital certificate or Cl@ve system.
- In-Person: You can present the document at any Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico). For residents of San Juan de Mozarrifar, the nearest office is in Zaragoza.
- Post Office: You can submit it at a Correos office via "Correo Administrativo," ensuring they stamp the copy of your document to provide you with a receipt of the date and time of submission.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, you must attach the following documents to the template:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- A copy of the original fine notification (the "boletín de denuncia").
- Any evidence that supports your claim (e.g., photos showing poor signage, proof that the vehicle was sold prior to the date of the fine, or documentation proving you were not in San Juan de Mozarrifar at that time).
- If you are acting through a representative, a signed authorization document (modelo de representación).
Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submitted appeal. If the authorities do not respond within the legally established timeframe (usually 3 months for administrative silence or 6 months for the resolution of the process), the fine may be considered expired (prescrita). If you are uncertain about the technical details of the radar calibration, consider consulting a specialized traffic lawyer, as errors in the calibration certificate are the most common grounds for winning an appeal.
