How to Get Temporary "Green Plates" (Matrículas Verdes) in Mohedas de Granadilla: Downloadable Template

If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or are waiting for the final registration process to be completed in Spain, you cannot legally drive on public roads without valid license plates. In Spain, "Green Plates" (Matrículas Verdes) are temporary registration permits issued by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) that allow you to circulate legally while the permanent documentation is being processed. This guide provides you with the exact template you need to request these plates at your local traffic office.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Mohedas de Granadilla

As Mohedas de Granadilla is located in the province of Cáceres, your administrative requests must be directed to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Cáceres. You do not need to travel to the provincial capital if you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, as you can submit this request online via the DGT electronic headquarters. However, if you prefer to go in person, you must schedule an appointment ("cita previa") through the DGT website before visiting the office in Cáceres.

Steps to follow:

• Ensure all vehicle identification numbers (VIN) are accurate.
• Pay the corresponding DGT fee (Tasa 1.1).

Additional documentation required

• Proof of identity: Valid DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• Proof of vehicle ownership: Original purchase invoice or title document.
• Technical documentation: The original "Ficha Técnica" or equivalent foreign documentation.
• Payment receipt: Proof of payment for the DGT Fee 1.1.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your application once submitted. If you are stopped by the Guardia Civil in the vicinity of Mohedas de Granadilla while your plates are being processed, showing the stamped copy of your request can often help clarify your legal status while the official plates are being produced. Always ensure your temporary insurance is active before you drive the vehicle, as the green plates are invalid without a corresponding insurance policy.
