How to Request Your Vehicle History Report (Informe de Vehículo) in Andoain: Downloadable Template

When buying or selling a used car in Spain, the "Informe de Vehículo" (Vehicle History Report) is the most critical document you can obtain. It reveals the car's legal status, including any outstanding liens, embargoes, technical inspection (ITV) status, or registration issues. If you are in Andoain or anywhere in the Gipuzkoa province, you can use the formal template provided below to request this information directly from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico).

Additional documentation required

When submitting your request in person at the Traffic Headquarters, ensure you have the following items ready:

• Your valid ID: Original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• Proof of payment: You must pay the official DGT fee (Tasa 4.1) beforehand, which can be done online or at the office via card payment.
• Vehicle Identification: You must provide the vehicle's license plate number (matrícula) or the VIN (chasis number).
• Authorization (if acting for someone else): A signed authorization document and a copy of the owner's ID if you are not the registered owner of the vehicle.

Expert Tip: Always request the "Informe Detallado" (Detailed Report) rather than the "Informe Reducido." While the reduced report is often free online, the detailed version provides crucial legal information regarding the vehicle's history that could save you from purchasing a car with hidden debts or legal blocks. If you are buying a car in Andoain, never finalize the payment until you have verified the "Informe" is completely clear of any "cargas" (liens).
