How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in Cala D'or: Downloadable Template
If you own a vehicle in Cala D'or that you are not planning to use for a period of time—perhaps because it requires major repairs, you are traveling abroad, or you simply want to save on insurance and road tax—you can apply for a "Baja Temporal" (Temporary De-registration) with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This process officially notifies the Spanish authorities that the vehicle is off the road, exempting you from paying the "Impuesto de Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM) in your local municipality.
Instructions on how and where to submit your request in Cala D'or
As a resident of Cala D'or, you have three main ways to submit your application to the DGT:
- Online via the DGT Headquarters (Sede Electrónica): This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, DNIe, or Cl@ve PIN.
- In-person at a Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura de Tráfico): The closest office to Cala D'or is in Palma de Mallorca. You must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") online or by calling 060 before going.
- By Post: You can send the application form and documentation via registered mail to your provincial Traffic Headquarters in Palma.
Once processed, your vehicle will be removed from circulation records until you decide to "re-register" it (Alta) at a later date.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is successful, you must attach the following documents along with your completed template:
- Valid ID: A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate).
- Proof of Payment: The receipt showing the payment of the DGT fee (Tasa 4.1). This can be paid online during the application process.
- Authorization (If applicable): If you are not submitting the form yourself, you must provide a signed authorization document (Mandato) for the person acting on your behalf.
Expert Tip: Remember that a temporary de-registration does not mean you can leave your vehicle parked on public streets in Cala D'or. Once a vehicle is de-registered, it must be kept on private property (such as a garage or private driveway). If the local police find your de-registered car parked on a public road, you could face significant fines and the vehicle may be towed to the municipal impound lot.
