Instructions on how and where to submit it in Ubrique

Once you have filled out the legal waiver, you must submit it correctly to ensure the insurance company processes your payout and updates the relevant administrative registries. Follow these steps in Ubrique:

• Insurance Company: Send the signed document (along with your policy number and claim reference) directly to your insurance adjuster or claims department via certified email or through their online portal.
• Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico (DGT): Although the insurance company usually manages the definitive de-registration (baja definitiva) or change of ownership due to a total loss, ensuring they have this signed waiver is mandatory for them to legally act on your behalf.
• Ayuntamiento de Ubrique: Once the vehicle is officially processed as a total loss and deregistered, remember to present the proof to the Ubrique Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) to stop the accrual of the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - municipal road tax).
