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

If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or need to move a car that lacks current registration, you will need "Placas Verdes" (Green License Plates). These are temporary registration plates issued by the Spanish Traffic Department (DGT) that allow you to legally circulate on Spanish roads while you finalize the definitive registration process. This guide provides you with the exact template you need to initiate this request.

• Step 2: Schedule an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the DGT Burgos office via the official DGT website or by calling 060.

Expert Tip: Always double-check that your VIN (bastidor) matches perfectly across all documents. Even a single digit discrepancy can cause a rejection at the Burgos office. If you are not fluent in administrative Spanish, it is highly recommended to bring a gestor or a translator, as the DGT officers will expect all forms to be filled out correctly in Spanish upon arrival.
