The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has informed that it will definitively stop issuing paper notifications on November 1, 2022. Thus, from this date, it will be necessary to register in the Electronic Road Directorate (DEV). Whoever is not registered in said month, the administration will register him ex officio and will also notify him by this means.
Many people do not know the procedure for downloading this notification channel, but it is essential to be registered correctly and manage the download of sanctions, since, if we do not do it, we will have serious economic problems with the fines.
Therefore, from Pyramid Consulting they detail that, as soon as a notification is published through this new channel, you have a maximum of 10 calendar days to download it. And watch out for this! If it is not downloaded within the term, it expires. If it expires, it cannot be downloaded and is considered to have been received successfully. When considered received, the deadlines to answer (10/20 days) begin to count.
At this point, if you do not answer within the deadline, a non-compliance/penalty is generated. And the penalties can be up to triple of the amount of the initial communication and will proceed to the seizure by the Treasury.
Therefore, and to avoid headaches, it is best to register with a few simple steps, give a email as well as a mobile phone, and, when we have any traffic notification, we will be notified in this way. Of course, they are only warnings for inform that there is a notification in the DEV mailbox, which is where the notification is available.
