How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in La Garrovilla: Downloadable Template
If you own a vehicle in La Garrovilla that you are not planning to use for a significant period—whether due to mechanical 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 your local town hall and prevents the accumulation of unnecessary insurance costs while the vehicle is off the road.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in La Garrovilla (La)
Since La Garrovilla falls under the jurisdiction of the Badajoz province, you have two main ways to submit this request:
- Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT electronic headquarters using your Cl@ve PIN, digital certificate, or eID. You will need to pay the official fee (Tasa 4.1) online before submitting the application.
- In-Person: You can visit the DGT Provincial Office in Badajoz. Note that you must book an appointment ("Cita Previa") online or by calling 060 beforehand. While the local town hall in La Garrovilla manages your municipal taxes, the actual de-registration of the vehicle status must be processed through the DGT.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is processed without delays, you must prepare the following documents:
- Official Application Form: The DGT form for vehicle procedures (available at the office or online).
- Identification: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Proof of Payment: The receipt showing the payment of the DGT fee (Tasa 4.1).
- Vehicle Documents: The "Permiso de Circulación" (Registration Certificate) and the "Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica" (ITV card). If these are lost, you must provide a signed declaration of loss.
Expert Tip: Remember that once your vehicle is in "Baja Temporal," it cannot be driven on public roads under any circumstances. If you need to move it to a workshop, you must hire a professional transport service (grúa). Furthermore, once you are ready to use the vehicle again, you must perform a "Rehabilitación" or "Alta" process before it is legally allowed back on the streets of La Garrovilla. Always keep a digital copy of your submission receipt as proof for your local tax office to stop the IVTM billing.
