What Is The ITV?

It is an inspection of your vehicle to make sure it meets the roadworthiness standards established in Spain (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos).  It is compulsory, and if you drive a vehicle without the proper ITV certificate, expect fines, and even the confiscation of your driver’s licence.  The government website, ITV.com.es, is a good place to start if you have questions.  You’ll be able to find your nearest station, and all of the requirements.

Schedule your ITV inspection via phone or the ITV Cita website (https://www.itvcita.com).  It’s very easy.  Just specify your matriculation (license plate) and the last 6 digits of your Vehicle Identification Number (listed on both the Permiso de Circulación and Inspecciones Técnicas).  If you need to get your car repaired or inspected by a mechanic before the ITV inspection, give yourself some lead time before the ITV inspection.  Schedule your inspection early in the day if possible.
