How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in La Peza: Downloadable Template
If you own a vehicle in La Peza that you are not currently using—perhaps due to seasonal needs, repairs, or long-term travel—you can opt for a "Baja Temporal" (temporary de-registration) with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This process exempts you from paying the municipal road tax (IVTM) in your local town hall and prevents the accumulation of fines or insurance requirements while the vehicle is off the road. Below, we provide a practical guide and the necessary template to manage this bureaucratic process efficiently.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in La Peza
Residents of La Peza must handle DGT matters through the provincial headquarters or online. Since La Peza falls under the jurisdiction of the Granada province, you have three primary ways to submit your request:
- Online: The fastest method. Use the DGT "Sede Electrónica" with your Cl@ve, digital certificate, or electronic ID.
- In-person: You must schedule an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the DGT Provincial Headquarters in Granada. Walk-ins are not accepted.
- By Mail: You can send the documentation via registered mail to the DGT office in Granada.
Once the process is complete, remember to contact your local La Peza town hall (Ayuntamiento) to present the proof of de-registration so they can stop the local road tax billing.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to the template above:
- Official DGT Form: Although the template above serves as a formal request, the DGT often requires their specific "Solicitud de trámites de vehículos" form (available on their website).
- Proof of Identity: A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original vehicle registration certificate (Permiso de Circulación).
- Payment Receipt: You must pay the official DGT fee (Tasa 4.1) prior to submission. This can be paid online via the DGT website.
Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submission. If you are de-registering the vehicle because it is being repaired, ensure the workshop provides you with a dated invoice, as this can serve as additional proof if you ever need to justify the vehicle's status to the authorities. If you decide to put the vehicle back on the road, remember that you must perform a "Rehabilitación" or "Alta" before driving it again to avoid heavy fines.
