How to Request Temporary Green License Plates in Noia: Downloadable Template
If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or are waiting for the final registration process to be completed in Spain, you may need temporary license plates, known as "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates). These plates allow you to circulate legally on Spanish roads while your final documentation is being processed by the DGT. This guide provides a practical template to help you navigate the bureaucracy in Noia.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Noia
To obtain your temporary plates, you must interact with the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT). While you can sometimes handle this through a gestoría, if you choose to do it yourself, you must follow these steps:
- Schedule an Appointment: You must request an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the DGT office in A Coruña, which is the provincial headquarters responsible for the Noia area. You can do this via the official DGT website.
- Payment of Fees: You must pay the official DGT tax (Tasa 1.1) before your appointment. You can pay this online through the DGT website or at certain banking entities.
- Submission: Present the completed document below along with your supporting paperwork at the DGT office.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is accepted at the DGT, you must accompany the template with the following documents:
- Proof of Identity: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Proof of Ownership: The original purchase invoice or bill of sale (contract).
- Technical Documentation: The original foreign technical sheet ("Ficha Técnica") of the vehicle.
- Proof of Tax Payment: Receipt of the DGT fee payment (Tasa 1.1).
- Insurance: Proof of temporary insurance coverage for the vehicle.
Expert Tip: Documentation from outside Spain must be official and, if not in Spanish, may require a sworn translation ("Traducción Jurada"). Always keep copies of every document you hand over. If you find the bureaucracy overwhelming, hiring a local "Gestoría" in Noia is highly recommended, as they can handle the electronic submission on your behalf, saving you a trip to A Coruña.
