Free DeCA generator.
Create your document with QR.
This tool creates the DeCA —Spain’s electronic transport control document (documento electrónico de control administrativo)— for free in Cofactu: €0, unlimited DeCAs, no card and no end date. Native PDF with a QR code and direct download for the driver. You need a free account and nothing to install. It is not a 30-day trial or a monthly quota: you can keep issuing for free after the trial of the paid features ends.
€0 · unlimited DeCA · no card · no end date · free account requiredThree groups of data.
One tidy output.
You do not need to know the legal format by heart. Gather these data and Cofactu guides you through the document.
-
Parties to the transport
The contractual shipper and the actual carrier, with name, NIF (Spanish tax ID) and address.
-
Route and goods
Origin, destination, nature of the cargo and weight —or an equivalent quantity.
-
Vehicle and date
Licence plate and date of the service, so the document is ready before the transport starts.
When you issue it, the PDF keeps the service data, carries its QR code and stays available at a specific URL. The driver receives the copy before the transport starts.

The Free plan lets you issue manual DeCAs with no monthly limit: €0, no card and no end date. The 30-day trial applies to the paid features; when it ends you can continue on the Free plan. The Logistics plans (€79/month) add operations management, bulk import and the API when you need them.

The essentials about the DeCA generator, without mixing it up with other transport documents.
Talk to us See the DeCA pageCan I try the DeCA before paying?
Yes. Cofactu lets you issue manual DeCAs for free, with no document limit, on the Free plan. Create an account (no card), fill in the transport data and check the PDF and its QR code before you buy any extra features.
What happens to the DeCA after the 30-day trial?
The 30-day trial applies to the paid plans. If you stay on the Free plan, you can keep issuing manual DeCAs without limit and without paying. Transport operations management and automation have their own conditions on the Logistics plans.
Can I see an example without signing up?
Yes. The DeCA example page opens a PDF with fictitious data, lets you check its QR code and compare a correction, with no account. It is marked as a test document with no validity for transport. To issue your own documents you do need to register.
Is the DeCA generator free?
Yes. Manual DeCA issuing is unlimited on every plan, including the Free plan, with no card. Bulk import, grouped shipments and the API for operators are paid.
What do I get when I generate a DeCA?
A native PDF with the service data, a QR code and a specific direct-download URL. The driver can carry the copy before leaving and show it during an inspection.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The document is prepared in Cofactu, in the browser. You can share the copy with the driver and keep the PDF download link.
Does this generator work as an e-CMR?
Not automatically. The DeCA answers Spain’s administrative control; an e-CMR requires a specific contractual electronic procedure. Cofactu keeps the two documents apart so their requirements are not mixed up.
What is a DeCA and who issues it?
The DeCA (documento electrónico de control administrativo) is the electronic transport control document that Spain requires for road freight from 5 October 2026 (Resolution of the DGTCF, 5 June 2026). It is a native PDF of 5 MB or less with a QR code that links to an https URL downloadable without login. The contractual shipper issues it.
