How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in Las Norias: Official DGT Template (Download)
If you own a vehicle in Las Norias that you are not planning to use 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 DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This legal process exempts you from paying the municipal vehicle tax (IVTM) in your local town hall and prevents the accumulation of fines. Below, you will find the practical guide and the official template you need to initiate this process.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Las Norias (Las)
Since Las Norias is located in the province of Almería, the nearest physical DGT office (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico) is located in the city of Almería. However, you do not necessarily need to travel there. You have three main options:
- Online: The most efficient method is via the DGT electronic headquarters (Sede Electrónica) using your Digital Certificate, Cl@ve, or DNIe.
- In-Person (By Appointment): You must request an appointment ("Cita Previa") via the DGT website or by calling 060 before heading to the Almería office.
- By Post: You can send your application via registered mail to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Almería.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is successful, you must attach the following documents to your request:
- Application Form: The completed DGT official form (or the template provided above).
- Proof of Identity: A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate). If it is lost, you must provide a signed statement explaining the loss.
- Payment of Fees: You must pay the DGT fee (Tasa 4.1) prior to submission. This can be done online through the DGT payment portal.
Expert Tip: Once your vehicle is temporarily de-registered, it cannot be driven on public roads. If you are caught driving a vehicle with a "Baja Temporal" status, you face severe fines and the immediate impoundment of the car. Additionally, ensure you notify your local town hall in the El Ejido municipality (which covers Las Norias) once the process is complete to stop the annual circulation tax (Impuesto de Circulación) billing cycle.
