How to Request Temporary Green License Plates in Trigueros: 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 are temporary license plates that allow you to legally drive a vehicle on Spanish roads while the final registration process is pending. This guide provides a professional template to help you navigate the bureaucracy at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) offices serving the Trigueros area.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Trigueros
To obtain your temporary registration, you must initiate the process through the DGT headquarters. Since Trigueros is in the province of Huelva, your administrative reference is the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Huelva.
- Step 1: Fill out the template below with your personal and vehicle details.
- Step 2: Pay the official DGT fee (Tasas) for temporary registration (Tasa 1.1).
- Step 3: You can submit the request online via the DGT "Sede Electrónica" using a Digital Certificate or Cl@ve PIN, which is the fastest method.
- Step 4: If you prefer to submit it in person, you must request an appointment ("Cita Previa") at the Huelva DGT office.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your request is not rejected, you must attach the following documents to your application:
- Proof of Identity: A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Proof of Ownership: The original purchase invoice or bill of sale (contract) for the vehicle.
- Technical Documentation: The original vehicle registration document from the country of origin (or the Certificate of Conformity).
- Proof of Payment: The receipt showing the "Tasa 1.1" has been paid.
- Insurance: Proof that the vehicle is covered by a temporary insurance policy valid for the duration of the green plates.
Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your application (the "instancia") in the glove compartment of your vehicle while driving with green plates. While the system is digital, traffic officers in the Huelva/Trigueros area may occasionally request physical proof of the pending registration process. Ensure your temporary insurance policy is clearly marked as valid for "placas verdes," as standard policies may not cover temporary registrations.
