Hola Everybody ,

Tarjeta Inspecciiom Tecnica de Vehiculos

How do I get a replacement , do I get it from from where I bought the Van ( Mercedes Garage ) ?

It needs  an MOT ( the Spanish equivelent ) very soon , Can I still go for the test or do I need that Card/ tarjeta ?

Most gratefull for any information

Thanks

Cristina

You will definitely need the Tarjeta Inspeccion Tecnica de Vehiculos for the ITV test because the form is stamped, signed and dated by the Inspecting Authority.

I don't know where or how you can get a duplicate of the form and the dgt website doesnt mention it under duplication of documents.

I doubt the Merc garage can help but you have nothing to lose by asking them.

I'm checking a few resources about duplicate Tarjetas; if I find anything I'll let you know.

Found this which seems to suggest that the ITV stations themselves can issue a duplicate...this is from Generalitat Valenciana so how good the information is for other regions I dont know...

Google Translate from http://www.sepiva.es/vehiculos_duplicados

"With the loss, theft, theft or damage of the original card of a vehicle, are the ITV stations, in charge of issuing a duplicate upon inspection of the vehicle.

This amounts to a re-inspection and, therefore, payment of current fees and new expiration date.

Prior to the inspection of the vehicle, the ITV station consult the Service Industry of the Autonomous Community that has made ​​the registration on the vehicle data and possible reforms that could have been carried out on it.

After the inspection, in which ITV station certifies that the vehicle is roadworthy, we will issue a new card ITV."

Hope this helps...

Google search 'Duplicado de Tarjeta Inspeccion Tecnica de Vehiculos' produces results which indicate the answer I provided is universal across Spain; ie., duplicates can be  issued by the ITV station after the vehicle has successfully passed the Inspection.

I would think Foxbat is right. As it's the ITV station that produces this document when you change a UK car to spanish plates, it would make sence that it would be them that replace it.

As he says, it may need to go through a matriculation inspection pre it's ITV. When we did this to re-register our car a month ago, it cost 95 Euros including the ITV.

The only problem I can think of is that document has the reg. number punched through it in little holes. This was done, for our car, at Trafico. Me thinks a trip to Trafico may be required too.

I have to ask, being that this should always be in the car. How did you lose it?

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Thinking about it, the 'Inspection Tecnica' document was produced before the car had a spanish number. It's Trafico that give it that number. As your car has a spanish number, maybe the ITV station have the equipement to do the punched number!

Take care.
