Additional documentation required

To ensure your application is processed without delays, you must attach the following documents to your request:

Proof of Identity: Original DNI, NIE, or valid Passport.
Proof of Ownership: Original purchase invoice (factura) or contract of sale, translated into Spanish if necessary.
Technical Documentation: The original technical sheet (Ficha Técnica) or the equivalent foreign document (COC - Certificate of Conformity).
Payment Receipt: Proof of payment for the DGT Tasa 1.1.
Vehicle Identification: Photographs of the vehicle showing the VIN (chassis number).

Expert Tip: Green plates are valid for 60 days and are non-renewable. Ensure that your insurance provider is aware that the vehicle will be using temporary plates, as standard policies often require the final Spanish license plate number to activate full coverage. Always carry the official authorization document inside the vehicle while driving, as the Guardia Civil de Tráfico will request it during any routine check.
