How to Appeal a Seat Belt Fine in Alaro: Downloadable Template

If you have received a notification for a traffic fine in Alaro for failing to wear a seat belt, you have the legal right to challenge it. This document is a formal appeal (recurso de alegaciones) designed to help you contest the penalty if you believe the fine was issued in error or if there are procedural flaws in the notification. This template is drafted in Spanish, as required by the Spanish Traffic Department (DGT) and local municipal authorities.

Instructions on how and where to submit your appeal in Alaro

To submit your appeal, you must ensure it reaches the authority that issued the fine within the mandatory timeframe (usually 20 calendar days from the notification date). Follow these steps:

• Digital Submission (Recommended): Use the Sede Electrónica of the DGT or the local Alaro Town Hall (Ajuntament d'Alaró) website using your Digital Certificate or Cl@ve PIN.
• In-Person: You can present your printed and signed document at the Registro General of the Alaró Town Hall or any designated DGT office.
• By Mail: You may send the document via "Correo Administrativo" at any post office (Correos) in a stamped, unsealed envelope so the clerk can verify the date and contents.

• A copy of your National ID (DNI) or Foreigner Identity Card (NIE).
• A copy of the original fine notification received.
• Any evidence that proves your innocence, such as timestamped photographs, dashcam footage, or witness statements if applicable.
• If you are acting as a representative, a signed authorization document (documento de representación).

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your submitted appeal. By filing an appeal, you waive the 50% "early payment discount" offered by the DGT. If your appeal is rejected, you will be required to pay the full amount of the fine. If you are unsure about the strength of your evidence, consult with a local traffic lawyer in the Balearic Islands before submitting, as some errors are easier to contest than others.
