How to Request a DGT Vehicle History Report in Parla: Downloadable Template

When buying or selling a used car in Spain, obtaining an official Vehicle Report (Informe de Vehículo) from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) is a critical step to ensure the vehicle has no outstanding debts, liens, or administrative issues. This template allows you to formally request this information if you prefer to handle the process via a written submission rather than through the digital portal.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Parla

To submit this request in Parla, you have two primary options:

• In-Person Appointment (Cita Previa): You must book an appointment at the nearest DGT provincial office (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Madrid). You cannot simply walk in; you must call 060 or use the DGT website to schedule your visit.
• Digital Submission: If you possess a Digital Certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit this request electronically via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" without needing to visit an office in person.
• General Registry: You may also submit this document at any public administration office (Registro General) in Parla, which will then forward the request to the DGT.

Additional documentation required

When you present this document, you must accompany it with the following items to ensure the process is not delayed:

• Original Identity Document: Your valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• Proof of Payment: The receipt showing you have paid the DGT administrative fee (Tasa 4.1). You can pay this online via the DGT website before going to your appointment.
• Vehicle Identification: The license plate number (matrícula) and, if possible, the Chassis Number (Número de Bastidor).
• Authorization (If applicable): If you are acting on behalf of another person, you must provide a signed authorization document and a copy of the owner's identity document.

Expert Tip: Always verify the vehicle's status before handing over any money to a seller. An "Informe Detallado" will provide you with much more information than a "Informe Reducido," including the vehicle’s history of maintenance and owners. If you are buying a car in Parla, insist that the seller clears any "cargas" (liens) registered against the vehicle before signing the final purchase contract to avoid inheriting their legal or financial responsibilities.
