How to Request Temporary Green License Plates (Placas Verdes) in Alcañices: Downloadable Template

If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or are waiting for the final registration process to be completed in Spain, you may find yourself unable to drive your car legally. In Spain, "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates) are temporary registration plates that allow you to circulate legally while the permanent documentation is being processed. This guide provides a practical overview and a ready-to-use template to help you navigate this bureaucratic procedure in Alcañices.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Alcañices

To obtain your temporary license plates, you must interact with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Since Alcañices is located in the province of Zamora, your administrative reference point is the DGT Provincial Headquarters in Zamora.

• Step 1: Fill out the template provided below with your personal and vehicle details.
• Step 2: Pay the official DGT fee (Tasa 1.1) via the DGT website or at the headquarters.
• Step 3: Schedule an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Zamora.
• Step 4: Present the signed document along with the required supporting paperwork.
• Step 5: Once approved, you will receive an authorization document. Take this to an authorized license plate manufacturer to have your green plates physically printed.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your application is successful, you must bring the following documents to your appointment in Zamora:

• Your original ID (DNI, NIE, or Passport).
• The original purchase invoice or contract of sale (translated into Spanish if necessary).
• The original foreign registration documents of the vehicle.
• Proof of payment of the DGT fee (Tasa 1.1).
• Technical inspection report (ITV) if the vehicle is not exempt.
• Proof of identity of the representative (if you are using a gestoría).

Expert Tip: Green plates are valid for a limited period (usually 60 days). Ensure you have your permanent registration process initiated immediately after receiving the green plates to avoid expiration. If you find the bureaucracy overwhelming, hiring a local "gestoría" in Zamora is a highly recommended investment to save time and ensure all technical requirements of the ITV are met correctly on the first attempt.
