How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in Gandia: Free Downloadable Template
If you are planning to stop using your vehicle for a period of time—whether due to mechanical issues, long-term travel, or financial reasons—you can request a "Baja Temporal" (Temporary De-registration) from the Spanish Traffic Department (DGT). This process exempts you from paying the municipal vehicle tax (IVTM) in Gandia and allows you to keep your car off the road legally without scrapping it. This guide provides the practical steps and the official template you need to get the process started.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Gandia
To process a temporary de-registration in Gandia, you have three primary options:
- Online via the DGT Headquarters: This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, Cl@ve, or your DNIe. You can access the "Sede Electrónica" of the DGT website.
- In-person at the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico: The closest office to Gandia is in Valencia. You must book an appointment ("cita previa") through the DGT website or by calling 060 before going.
- Via Gestoría: If you prefer to delegate the bureaucracy, a local gestoría in Gandia can handle the paperwork for a fee, ensuring all documents are correctly filed.

Additional documentation required
When submitting your application, ensure you have the following documents ready:
- Official DGT Application Form: The template provided above covers the formal request, but the DGT may require their specific administrative form if you are applying in person.
- Valid Identification: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original Vehicle Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación).
- Proof of Payment: The receipt of the mandatory DGT fee (Tasa 4.1), which currently costs approximately 8.67 euros (subject to annual changes).
Expert Tip: Once your vehicle is temporarily de-registered, remember to notify the Gandia City Council (Ayuntamiento de Gandia) regarding the municipal vehicle tax (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica). While the DGT notification is automatic in most cases, providing a copy of the "Baja" certificate to the local tax office ensures you are not charged for the following tax cycle. Keep your vehicle on private property, as it cannot be parked on public streets while in a state of temporary de-registration.
