How to Request a Vehicle History Report (Informe de Vehículo) from the DGT in La Perdoma
If you are planning to buy or sell a used car in La Perdoma, it is essential to verify the vehicle's legal status. The "Informe de Vehículo" (Vehicle History Report) provided by the Spanish General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) is the official document that reveals if a car has any outstanding liens, embargoes, or pending technical inspections (ITV). This template allows you to formally request this information if you prefer to handle the procedure in person rather than online.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in La Perdoma
Since La Perdoma is located in the municipality of La Orotava (Tenerife), you must conduct your in-person administrative procedures at the nearest DGT provincial office (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico). In the Canary Islands, the office for this jurisdiction is located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
- Step 1: Download and fill out the template provided below with your personal details and the vehicle's license plate number (matrícula).
- Step 2: Pay the DGT fee (Tasa 4.1) online via the DGT website or at the office before submitting your request.
- Step 3: Schedule an appointment ("Cita Previa") through the DGT official portal, as walk-ins are generally not accepted for these procedures.
- Step 4: Present the signed document and your identification at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife office.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is processed without delays, make sure you bring the following documents to your appointment:
- Original Identity Document: Your DNI, NIE, or valid Passport.
- Proof of Payment: The receipt of the "Tasa 4.1" payment (approximately €8.67, subject to change).
- Authorization (if applicable): If you are requesting the report on behalf of someone else, you must bring a signed authorization form and a photocopy of the owner’s ID.
Expert Tip: While requesting the report in person is a valid legal route, I strongly recommend using the DGT Electronic Headquarters (Sede Electrónica). You can obtain the "Informe Reducido" for free or the "Informe Detallado" instantly using a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN. This saves you the trip to Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the hassle of printing physical paperwork. Always check the report for "cargas" (liens) before handing over any deposit for a used vehicle.
