How to Appeal a Negative or Rejected ITV Result in Navacerrada: Downloadable Template
If you have recently visited an ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station and received an "ITV Desfavorable" (Unfavorable) or "ITV Rechazada" (Rejected) result, it means your vehicle has failed the mandatory safety and emissions inspection. An "Unfavorable" result means you can only drive the vehicle to the repair shop, while a "Rejected" result means the vehicle is deemed too dangerous to be driven on public roads at all. If you believe the inspection criteria were applied incorrectly or you wish to file a formal administrative appeal, this template will help you initiate the process with the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT).
How and Where to Submit Your Appeal in Navacerrada
As Navacerrada falls under the jurisdiction of the Community of Madrid, you have several options to submit your documentation. You do not need to go to a physical DGT office if you have a digital certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN:
- Online: Use the "Registro Electrónico" on the official DGT Sede Electrónica. This is the fastest and most recommended method.
- In-Person: You can visit any "Oficina de Registro" (such as a local town hall office or a Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Madrid) to present your document via the "Ventanilla Única" system.
- By Post: You can send the document via "Correo Administrativo" at your local post office (Correos), ensuring they stamp the document before you seal the envelope.

Additional Documentation Required
To ensure your appeal is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to your submission:
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- The original "Informe de Inspección" provided by the ITV station showing the "Desfavorable" or "Rechazada" status.
- The "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate) of the car.
- Any technical evidence, such as a repair invoice or a certificate from an authorized workshop, if your appeal is based on a mechanical disagreement.
Expert Tip: Remember that even while an appeal is pending, you are generally not authorized to drive the vehicle if the result was "Rechazada." Always prioritize the safety of the vehicle. If the appeal is regarding a minor bureaucratic error, it is often faster to simply fix the defect and return to the ITV station for a secondary inspection, as administrative appeals can take several months to resolve.
