Missed traffico notification

Postby Upthemountain » Thu Jan 02, 2020 7:18 pm

I was carded by Correos on 30/12/19 but the card said delivered on 16/12/19. Went to the post office to be told it was from traffico but they no longer had it as they only keep for 7 days. Hopefully this has happened to someone else on the forum who can tell me if I will be sent it again or where I go to find out what is is as I have no clue.

As has been documented on this forum many times, the easiest way of ensuring you receive notifications from DGT, AEAT etc is to obtain a digital certificate and register with them especially if you live 'up a mountain'.

There are other methods, buscamultas, TESTRA and even your insurance company but by the time it reaches this stage it is usually too late to pay with the customary discount.

Check out the FAQs and have a look through the forum and if you really get stuck either myself or one of the other forum members will dig up some links to relevant threads.

Thank you Beachcomber, I will check out the FAQ’s and also contact my insurance company as I remember taking out that extra cover.

as beach said, too late is too late. The insurance company only knows when you do, they dont know in advance and will also be too late to see it so that you get a discount.

The only way to know on time is from the DGT.

If you are registered with DGT for notification of traffic fines you may receive an email telling that you have a notification. The notification will probably be entitled 'Prueba' and will show your details. You just need to click 'Acceptar' to acknowledge it then a blank DGT form will open as a PDF as a test document. If you do not receive such a notification you should check that the registration of your digital certificate with DGT is valid.

Don't forget, if you have two digital certificates on your computer (ie husband and wife) you need to close down the browser completely after accessing one of them before you can access the other.

Obviously if you have actually committed a traffic offence you will receive that notification in the usual way.

Thanks for that Beach. My OH had received the email but I didn't. I seem to be set up OK on the DGT site and have received the blank test form OK. I hadn't read the message and accepted it though so I've done that. Always hate getting an email from them, although we've barely been out to get a fine!

Hi,
Was on the DGT site this morning as it had flagged up a email notification..........for me
Some info of interest maybe.............

If you received the "Test" message........English site version.

"If you have received an electronic notification notice at your Road Electronic Address with notification date 06/10/2020 and the subject 'TEST' do not worry, it is a notification issued due to a technical error.

Sorry for the disturbances."

Other stuff
If they have entered your details correctly there is a record of your vehicles.........ITV , Insurance etc.
You can change some of your details on-line.

Worth registering if you're in for the long haul in Spain........... :idea:

Looks like somebody pressed the wrong button then. I thought, maybe, they had updated their systems and wanted to check that it was all working but there is now a similar notification on the Spanish version of the site.

Hi,
Just had another email from DGT...................
Dear Sir / Madam,

In the last hours, an electronic notification from the DGT has been made available to your Road Electronic Address with the subject "TEST".
You will have received notices in the email account and by SMS on your mobile phone.

This electronic notification also attaches a PDF form for Traffic formalities.

We inform you that it is a notification issued by technical error from our systems. It has no effect on the processing of DGT procedures or of any of the Municipalities that send notifications through this medium.

We regret the inconvenience that we have been able to cause you and we apologize.

PS That's me playing around with the Quotes...............as well............ :)
