Spanish number plates Made Easy
There are quite a few steps in registering a vehicle in Spain, and it might seem a bit daunting. But if you know what needs to be done or you’ve got someone who knows guiding you, it’s actually quite straight forward and not too difficult at all. We can explain the process to you, organise the various steps, and handle all the paperwork for you. To begin with it breaks down into three main stages.
Get Your Car Ready
You'll need vehicle registration and certification docs, and car will need to be road worthy and fully conform to Spanish requirements.
Pass the ITV
A special appointment has to be made to pass your car and all your documents through an ITV vehicle registration inspection.
Tax and Paperwork
With the ITV done, any applicable taxes have to be paid then your paperwork is submitted to the DGT to get your Spanish 'matricula'.
Working out the costs
There are fixed costs which will generally apply and be similar in most cases. This is a typical example for a low emission car excluding any fee for our services:
- Vehicle certificate (ficha tecnica) €95
- ITV €147
- Local (road) tax €130
- DGT + presentation fees €168
- Number plates €30
- Total €570
Then there are the variable costs which depend on your car and situation. These are, the cost of modifications, registration tax, temporary plates.
If you’re paying us to help you, we’ll of course check the tax and let you know the other likely costs at the start, so you know how much to budget for. We’ll also arrange insurance quotations.
