How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in Calella: Downloadable Template
If you own a vehicle in Calella that you are not planning to use for a period of time—perhaps due to repairs, seasonal storage, or financial reasons—you can request a "Baja Temporal" (Temporary De-registration) from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This legal action exempts you from paying the municipal vehicle tax (IVTM) in Calella and prevents the accumulation of fines or insurance requirements while the vehicle is off the road. This guide provides you with the necessary steps and a ready-to-use template to initiate the process.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Calella
To process a temporary de-registration in Calella, you have three primary options:
- Online via the DGT Website: This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, Cl@ve, or electronic DNI. Access the DGT "Sede Electrónica" and navigate to the "Baja de vehículos" section.
- In-Person at a Traffic Office (Jefatura de Tráfico): The closest office to Calella is the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Barcelona. You must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") online or by calling 060 before arriving.
- Through a Gestoría: If you prefer to avoid the bureaucracy, local gestorías in Calella can handle the paperwork for a fee.
When using the template below, ensure you have your DNI/NIE and the vehicle's registration certificate (Permiso de Circulación) at hand.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is successful, you must accompany the form with the following documents:
- Original DNI/NIE: You must present your identification document. If you are a foreigner, your residence card (TIE) or passport is required.
- Vehicle Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación): You must present the original document. If it has been lost or stolen, you must file a report first.
- Proof of Payment: You will need to pay the DGT administrative fee (Tasa 4.1). This can be paid online during the electronic submission process or via credit card at the Traffic Office.
- Authorization (if applicable): If you are hiring a third party or a gestoría to represent you, you must provide a signed authorization document (Mandato).
Expert Tip: Remember that while your vehicle is in "Baja Temporal," it cannot be driven on public roads under any circumstances. Furthermore, remember to notify your insurance company; while the DGT record is updated, it is good practice to place your policy on "hold" to avoid unnecessary premium payments while the vehicle is registered as inactive.
