Avoid fines in Spain – Create your DeCA for free with Transport in Nood

From 5 October 2026, the digital DeCA document will be mandatory for domestic road freight transport in Spain.

Are you a foreign transport company? Then you need a DeCA when carrying out cabotage in Spain, a transport where you load in Spain and also unload in Spain.

The DeCA does not replace your CMR

Important: the DeCA is an additional document alongside the CMR. Your driver must therefore still carry the normal transport documents.

The DeCA is a separate digital control document containing information such as the carrier, customer, loading and unloading locations, goods and vehicle details.

How does it work?

The DeCA must be created before departure and must be available digitally.

It contains a QR code with a unique internet link, allowing the Spanish authorities to open the document directly during a roadside check.

The link must remain available during the transport and may only be deactivated seven days after the transport has been completed.

Arrange it easily through Transport in Nood

Through the Transport in Nood CRM, you can easily create your DeCA before departure.

The document is also linked to our Legal Control App, so the driver has the DeCA and QR code directly available in the app and can show it immediately during a roadside check.

You don't need to build your own system for creating, storing and keeping the documents available.

It also helps reduce the risk of fines caused by a missing or incorrect DeCA.
