How to Appeal an ITV 'Desfavorable' or 'Rechazada' Result: Downloadable Template for Casillas/Ermita de Buendía
If you have recently visited an ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station and received an "ITV Desfavorable" (Unfavorable) or "Rechazada" (Negative/Rejected) result, you are likely feeling the pressure of Spanish bureaucracy. An "Unfavorable" result means your vehicle has serious defects and must be repaired before returning to the station, while a "Negative" result implies the vehicle is so dangerous it cannot be driven at all. This template helps you formally present your case if you believe the inspection findings were erroneous or if you are requesting an extension due to extenuating circumstances.
Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in the area of Casillas (Lugar De) or Ermita de Buendía
Since the area of Casillas or the vicinity of the Ermita de Buendía falls under the jurisdiction of the provincial DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) and the regional industrial authority, you must submit your appeal through the following channels:
- Electronic Registry (Sede Electrónica): This is the fastest way. Use your "Certificado Digital" or "Cl@ve PIN" to submit the document via the Registro Electrónico Común (REC) addressed to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico of your province.
- In-Person Submission: You can visit the nearest DGT office or the regional Department of Industry (Consejería de Industria) office. Ensure you bring two copies so they can stamp one as your receipt (acuse de recibo).
- Post Office (Correos): You can submit the document via "Correo Administrativo." Go to any post office with the envelope open so the clerk can stamp the date and the destination on the first page.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your appeal is taken seriously, you must attach the following documents to your submission:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- The original "Informe de Inspección Técnica" provided by the ITV station.
- Any technical evidence that contradicts the station's findings, such as a report from a certified mechanic or repair invoices showing that the alleged "defects" were already addressed.
- If you are acting through a representative, a signed "autorización de representación."
Expert Tip: Always prioritize safety. If your ITV is "Rechazada," the law strictly prohibits driving the vehicle on public roads, even to the repair shop; you must transport it via a tow truck (grúa). Failure to comply can result in severe fines from the Guardia Civil. Keep all your documentation organized in a single PDF file if submitting online to ensure the administrative process is not delayed by technical errors.
