Additional documentation required
To ensure your appeal is processed without delays, you should attach the following supporting documents to your letter:
- A copy of the notification of the fine (Boletín de denuncia).
- A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Any evidence that proves your case: for example, a photo of the parking ticket, a receipt showing you paid via a mobile app, or a document proving the vehicle was not in the town at the time of the alleged infraction.
- If you are acting on behalf of someone else, you must include a signed authorization (representación).
Expert Tip: Always keep a copy of your submitted appeal stamped by the registry office. This is your only proof that you filed the appeal within the legal deadline. Furthermore, be aware that if you pay the fine early, you usually receive a 50% discount, but doing so is considered an admission of guilt, meaning you forfeit your right to appeal. If you are confident in your evidence, skip the payment and file the appeal first.
