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

If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or need to move a car that is not yet fully registered in Spain, you will likely need "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates). These temporary license plates allow you to circulate legally on Spanish roads while the final registration process is completed. This article provides a practical guide and a ready-to-use template for residents in Jódar, Jaén, to initiate this request with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico).

How and Where to Submit Your Request in Jódar

The process for obtaining temporary plates is handled by the Provincial Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico). Since there is no DGT office directly in Jódar, residents must deal with the provincial office in Jaén.

• Step 1: Prepare the application document provided below.
• Step 2: Book an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the DGT website (sede.dgt.gob.es) for the Jaén Provincial Office.
• Step 3: Pay the official DGT fee (Tasa 1.1) via the DGT website or at the office.
• Step 4: Submit the application and documentation in person at the Jaén office or via a registered gestoría.

Additional Documentation Required

To ensure your application is successful, you must bring the following documents along with your signed template:

• Proof of Identity: Original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• Proof of Ownership: Original purchase invoice or the foreign registration documents of the vehicle.
• Technical Documentation: The original technical sheet (Ficha Técnica) or the COC (Certificate of Conformity).
• Payment Receipt: Proof of payment of the DGT fee (Tasa 1.1).
• Insurance: A temporary insurance policy covering the vehicle during the period the green plates will be active.

Expert Tip: The "Placas Verdes" are valid for 60 days. It is highly recommended to start your permanent registration process immediately after receiving them, as the temporary permit cannot be renewed once it expires. If you find the bureaucracy overwhelming, consider hiring a local gestoría in Jódar or Jaén; they can electronically sign and submit these documents on your behalf, saving you a trip to the provincial capital.
