How to Temporarily De-register Your Vehicle in Segorbe: Downloadable Template
If you own a vehicle in Segorbe that you are not currently using, you may want to initiate a "Baja Temporal" (temporary de-registration) with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This legal process exempts you from paying the annual vehicle tax (IVTM) in your municipality and allows you to pause your insurance obligations legally. This guide provides you with the necessary steps and a ready-to-use template to manage this process efficiently.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Segorbe
Since the DGT has moved almost entirely to a digital-first model, you have two primary ways to submit your request:
- Online via the DGT Headquarters (Sede Electrónica): This is the fastest method. You will need a digital certificate, DNIe, or Cl@ve PIN. Simply log in to the DGT website, navigate to "Vehículos," select "Baja de vehículos," and upload your documentation.
- In-person at a Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico: While there is no DGT office directly in Segorbe, the closest office is in Valencia. You must book an appointment ("cita previa") online or by calling 060 before visiting.
- Documentation: You must present the official application form (provided below), your DNI/NIE, and proof of vehicle ownership.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is processed without delays, make sure you have the following ready:
- Official DGT Form: The template provided above serves as a formal letter of request, but you may also be required to fill out the standardized DGT "Solicitud de trámites de vehículos" form available on their official portal.
- Vehicle Registration Certificate (Permiso de Circulación): You do not need to surrender this, but you must have it available to provide details.
- Payment of Fees: The DGT charges a fee (tasa 4.1) for this procedure. You can pay this online through the DGT website using a credit or debit card before you submit your application.
- Proof of Identity: A valid original DNI, NIE, or passport.
Expert Tip: Before finalizing the "Baja Temporal," contact the Ayuntamiento de Segorbe to confirm that your vehicle has been removed from the municipal tax registry (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica). While the DGT notifies them automatically, it is always wise to follow up with a quick email or visit to the local town hall to ensure you are not charged for the upcoming tax year. Remember that a temporary de-registration can be reversed at any time by requesting a "Rehabilitación" of the vehicle.
