How to Request Temporary Green License Plates in Peligros: Downloadable Template
If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or are waiting for your final Spanish registration, you may need "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates). These temporary license plates allow you to legally drive a vehicle on Spanish roads while the permanent registration process is being completed by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This guide provides a practical template to help you initiate this request in Peligros, Granada.
Instructions on how and where to submit your request in Peligros
To process your temporary plates, you must interact with the DGT. Since there is no main DGT office in the town of Peligros itself, you have two primary options:
- The Provincial Traffic Office (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Granada): This is the official authority. You must schedule an appointment ("Cita Previa") online through the official DGT website before going.
- Digital Submission: If you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN, you can submit your request electronically through the DGT "Sede Electrónica," which is the fastest and most recommended method.
- Gestoría: Many residents in Peligros choose to hire a local "Gestoría" (administrative agency) to handle the paperwork on their behalf, as the bureaucratic process for temporary plates involves specific tax forms (Modelo 576) that can be complex.

Additional documentation required
When you submit the template above, you must ensure you have the following documents ready, as the DGT will not process the request without them:
- Proof of Identity: Original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: Original technical documentation from the country of origin (e.g., "Carta Gris" or "Fahrzeugbrief").
- Proof of Ownership: The original purchase contract or invoice showing the transfer of the vehicle.
- Payment of Fees: Proof of payment of the DGT "Tasa 1.1" (Temporary registration fee).
- Insurance: A temporary insurance policy that covers the vehicle during the period the green plates are active.
Expert Tip: Green plates are typically valid for 60 days, though they can be extended under specific circumstances. Ensure your insurance is active the very moment you attach the green plates to your vehicle. If you are doing this process manually, double-check that your purchase invoice is translated into Spanish by a sworn translator if the original is not in a format accepted by the Jefatura.
