How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in El Campello: Downloadable Template
If you own a vehicle in El Campello that you plan to keep off the road for an extended period—perhaps due to mechanical issues, a long-term absence, or to save on insurance and road tax—you can legally request a "Baja Temporal" (Temporary De-registration) from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This process effectively "freezes" your vehicle's status, exempting you from paying the municipal vehicle tax (IVTM) in El Campello once processed. Use the template below to formalize your request.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in El Campello
While the DGT handles the de-registration, you have three main ways to submit your paperwork:
- Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT Electronic Office using your Cl@ve, digital certificate, or electronic ID.
- In-person: You can visit the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) in Alicante (located at Av. Aguilera, 13). You must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") online or by calling 060.
- Local Assistance: While the Town Hall of El Campello cannot process the DGT de-registration directly, you can visit the OAC (Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano) for guidance on how to present your documentation via the "Registro Electrónico Común" if you lack a digital certificate.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is approved without delays, make sure you have the following ready:
- Official DGT Application Form: The standard "Solicitud de trámites de vehículos" form (available on the DGT website).
- Proof of Identity: Original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original Vehicle Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación) and the Technical Inspection Card (Tarjeta de ITV).
- Fee Payment: You must pay the current DGT administrative fee (Tasas de Tráfico) for vehicle modifications. You can pay this online via the DGT website before your appointment.
Expert Tip: Once the temporary de-registration is confirmed, notify the El Campello Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) tax department. Although the DGT notifies them automatically, sending them a copy of the "Baja Temporal" document ensures your municipal road tax (IVTM) is stopped promptly, preventing unnecessary collection notices. Remember that a vehicle in "Baja Temporal" cannot be driven on public roads under any circumstances, and it must be kept on private property.
