How to Apply for Temporary "Green Plates" (Matrículas Verdes) in Iria Flavia: Downloadable Template
If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or need to move a car that lacks permanent Spanish registration, you will need "Green Plates" (Matrículas Verdes). These temporary permits allow you to circulate legally on Spanish roads while you finalize the formal registration process. This guide provides a practical, ready-to-use template to request these plates at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) offices serving the Iria Flavia area.

- Proof of ownership: Documentation showing the vehicle is currently in your name.

Expert Tip: Green plates are typically valid for 60 days. Ensure you have all your paperwork translated by a sworn translator (traductor jurado) if the documents are not in Spanish, as the DGT is very strict regarding foreign documentation. If you are not comfortable handling the bureaucracy yourself, hiring a local "Gestoría" in Padrón can save you significant time and ensure that the process is compliant with current DGT regulations.
