Additional documentation required
Beyond the template provided above, the DGT will strictly require the following documents to process your application:
- Original vehicle registration document from the country of origin.
- Certificate of Conformity (COC) or a technical data sheet issued by an ITV station in Spain.
- Proof of identity (Original Passport or NIE card).
- Proof of payment of the official DGT fee (Tasa 1.1).
- Evidence of the vehicle's purchase (original invoice or private contract).
Expert Tip: Ensure that your ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) is performed at a certified station in Ciudad Real before your appointment. If your vehicle is over 4 years old, the process is slightly more complex due to emissions testing. Always keep digital copies of all documents submitted, as the DGT may require them for future tax audits or insurance verification. If you are not fluent in Spanish, it is highly recommended to bring a sworn translator to your appointment at the provincial headquarters.
