How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in Sant Antoni de Portmany: Downloadable Template
If you are planning to keep your vehicle off the road for a period of time—perhaps because you are moving away, the car requires long-term repairs, or you simply won't be using it—you can opt for a "Baja Temporal" (temporary de-registration) with the Spanish DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This process exempts you from paying the annual circulation tax (IVTM) in Sant Antoni de Portmany and ensures you are not liable for fines related to insurance or technical inspections (ITV) while the vehicle is inactive. This guide and the provided template will help you navigate the paperwork required to formalize this request.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Sant Antoni de Portmany
In Spain, the DGT handles these requests centrally, but you have three primary ways to submit your application:
- Online: This is the fastest method. You can use the DGT electronic headquarters (Sede Electrónica) using your Cl@ve, digital certificate, or electronic ID.
- In-Person (By Appointment): You must request an appointment at the nearest DGT provincial office (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico). For residents of Sant Antoni de Portmany, the relevant office is located in Ibiza (Eivissa). You must book your appointment online at the DGT website before going.

Additional documentation required
When submitting the template above, ensure you have the following items prepared:
- Official DGT Application Form: While the template serves as your formal request, you may also need to fill out the official "Solicitud de trámites de vehículos" form provided by the DGT.
- Identification: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Document) of the vehicle.
- Payment of Fees: You must pay the official DGT fee (Tasa 4.1) for the de-registration process. This can be paid online via the DGT website or via bank transfer before your appointment.
- Authorization: If you are not the owner and are acting on their behalf, you must provide a signed authorization document and a copy of the owner's ID.
Expert Tip: Once you have successfully processed the temporary de-registration, remember to notify the "Ayuntamiento de Sant Antoni de Portmany" (Town Hall) regarding the circulation tax (IVTM). While the DGT notification is often automatic, it is highly recommended to provide the town hall with a copy of your "Justificante de Baja Temporal" to ensure they stop the tax collection for the following fiscal year. Keep a digital copy of all your paperwork in a safe place for at least five years.
