How to Request Your Vehicle History Report (Informe de Vehículo) in Poligón Empordà Internacional
If you are buying or selling a used vehicle in Spain, requesting an official Vehicle History Report (Informe de Vehículo) from the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) is a critical step to ensure transparency. This document reveals the vehicle's current status, including any outstanding liens, embargoes, technical inspection (ITV) validity, or administrative restrictions that could prevent a transfer of ownership. This article provides you with a ready-to-use template to request this information formally.
Where and How to Submit Your Request in Poligón Empordà Internacional
For residents and businesses located in or near the Poligón Empordà Internacional (Vilamalla, Girona), the closest official DGT office is the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Girona. While many procedures can now be done online via the DGT electronic headquarters (Sede Electrónica) using a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you may choose to submit a formal written request in person if you require specific information or have complex documentation needs.
- Location: Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Girona, Carrer de Barcelona, 11, 17003 Girona.
- Procedure: You must request an appointment (cita previa) through the official DGT website before visiting.
- Alternative: You can submit this document via the "Registro Electrónico Común" (REC) of the Spanish General State Administration if you have a digital certificate, avoiding the need to travel to the office in Girona.

Additional Documentation Required
When you present the template above, ensure you have the following documents ready to avoid unnecessary delays:
- Valid Identification: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Identification: You must provide the vehicle's registration number (matrícula). If you have the VIN (Número de Bastidor), it is highly recommended to include it for accuracy.
- Proof of Payment: The DGT charges a fee (tasa) for the "Informe Completo." You must pay this fee (Tasa 4.1) prior to your visit and provide the receipt of payment. The "Informe Reducido" is free but provides limited information.
- Authorization: If you are acting on behalf of someone else, you must provide a signed authorization document and a copy of the owner's ID.
Expert Tip: Before making the trip to the Jefatura in Girona, I strongly recommend checking if the report can be obtained instantly via the DGT website using your "Cl@ve" credentials. In 90% of cases, the online system is faster and avoids the bureaucracy of physical paperwork. However, always keep a signed copy of this template if you are dealing with a legal dispute or an inheritance case where an official stamped registry entry is required.
