How to Request Temporary Green License Plates in Lles de Cerdanya: Downloadable Template
If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or need to transport a car that is not yet fully registered in Spain, you will require "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates). These are temporary license plates that allow you to circulate legally on Spanish roads while you finalize the complex administrative process of permanent registration with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This guide provides a practical template to help you initiate this request efficiently.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Lles de Cerdanya
As Lles de Cerdanya is located in the province of Lleida, your primary point of contact for vehicle registration matters is the DGT Provincial Headquarters in Lleida (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Lleida).

Additional documentation required
To ensure your application is successful, you must attach the following documents to your request:
- Original and photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Proof of purchase or ownership (Invoice or Purchase Contract).
- Technical documentation of the vehicle from the country of origin (original "Ficha Técnica" or equivalent).

Expert Tip: Always ensure that your temporary insurance policy is active before you drive the vehicle with the green plates. The DGT requires proof of insurance to issue the permit. Given the distance between Lles de Cerdanya and the Lleida provincial office, double-check that you have all documents signed and ready to avoid multiple trips. If you are not comfortable handling the bureaucracy in Spanish, consider hiring a local "Gestoría" in the Cerdanya region to handle the paperwork on your behalf.
