Owning a vehicle is one of the most significant achievements a person can achieve. Usually, when starting work, it is one of the goals that they set as a priority, followed by a home of their own and other long-term goals.
Those who manage to buy a vehicle experience a lot of gratification and satisfaction, since it is considered a synonym of progress.
In addition, having your own vehicle brings many advantages. For example, it allows you to move to almost any place and arrive on time to the commitments that you have planned, be they work or social.
On the other hand, if an emergency arises, you will be able to act promptly. Without wasting time looking for means of transport. Also, you have the wonderful opportunity to provide a helping hand to those who have some kind of need. They will surely know how to thank you.
For this and much more, having a vehicle is part of the priorities of most people. However, it must be borne in mind that it also implies a great responsibility.
In order for you to be able to count on it for a long time, it is necessary that you keep it in good condition. This goes beyond simply checking the water, oil and refueling from time to time.
Rather, it has to do with not neglecting the mechanical part. And, if something unforeseen arises, it is necessary that it can be attended to as soon as possible so that it does not become a real problem.
Despite everything, there are circumstances in life that lead us to deregister a vehicle. In this brief article we will be seeing how to do it, what requirements you need for it and why that need arises. So pay close attention to what we have to tell you so that you are oriented.
Instructions for deregistering a vehicle
When we talk about deregistering, we are referring to the procedure through which the owner of a vehicle informs the registry of the general traffic direction that it is withdrawn from circulation, either temporarily or permanently.
However, this request will be impossible to process if there is any seal noted. In this case, the first thing you should do is cancel it.
But, in what circumstances is it admissible to deregister your vehicle temporarily? For example, in the event that the vehicle has been stolen, that you have sold it or that you are not going to use it for a long time. Like when you plan a trip for a long time or when it has been seriously damaged and you cannot repair it, for the moment.
In these specific cases, it turns out to be a good idea to temporarily deregister a vehicle. However, those are not the only valid reasons. It can also happen in the event that you have not paid your road tax for a long time due to having it detained.
If you are aware that you will not use the vehicle for a considerable time, the most reasonable thing is that you adopt this measure.
But, what are the requirements you need to be able to process this procedure? Maybe that doubt is spinning in your head. You don’t have to stay with uncertainty. In the next subtitle you will be aware of the documentation you need so that you can comply with it. Let’s see.

If it is a minor or a person with a physical disability, you must present your ID, the data and signature of your parents or guardians and a document that serves as support for the concept.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to present the circulation permit and the ITV card.
