If you have been fined in Cunit for not wearing a seatbelt, you are entitled to contest the penalty if you believe the notification was erroneous or if there are procedural flaws. This template is a formal administrative appeal (recurso de alegaciones) designed to help you challenge the fine before the local traffic authorities in Catalonia (Servei Català de Trànsit) or the Cunit Town Hall, depending on where the fine was issued.

How and Where to Submit Your Appeal in Cunit

Once you have filled out the template below, you must submit it within the 20-calendar-day period following the notification of the fine. You have three main ways to submit it in Cunit:

• Online: Use the "Sede Electrónica" of the Cunit Town Hall or the Generalitat de Catalunya website using your Digital Certificate or Cl@ve PIN. This is the fastest and most recommended method.
• In-Person: Visit the "Oficina d'Atenció Ciutadana" (OAC) in Cunit. You will need to bring the printed document and your original ID.

Additional Documentation Required

To increase your chances of success, ensure you attach the following documents to your appeal:

• A copy of the notification letter (Boletín de denuncia).
• A clear photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• Any evidence that proves your innocence, such as timestamped photos, vehicle maintenance records if a mechanical failure is claimed, or witness statements.
• If you are not the owner of the vehicle, you must provide the identification data of the driver who was actually at the wheel.

Expert Tip: Remember that if you pay the fine with the 50% "early payment discount" (pronto pago), you lose your right to appeal. Choose carefully: if you have solid evidence, appeal; if the evidence against you is overwhelming, the 50% discount is often the most cost-effective path. Always keep a copy of your submitted appeal stamped by the administration as proof of your claim.
