How it works
From first question to Spanish registration
- 01
Understand your situation
You complete the import check. We outline the steps and potential costs.
- 02
Documents and quote
You provide the requested information. We review the case and confirm the scope in a quote.
- 03
Preparation and coordination
After approval we coordinate the agreed document, inspection and optional transport steps. Authorities perform their own checks.
- 04
Registration and completion
After the required checks we assist with registration and arrange document handover.
Timing depends on complete documents, the vehicle, appointment availability and authority review. We agree the schedule after reviewing your case.
From first check to Spanish registration
Your car on Spanish plates. We handle most of the work.
We check your documents, coordinate the steps and handle most administration, together with our partners where needed. You provide the information and make your car available for inspection.
Your paperwork in order
Vehicle details, NIE, address and the documents your situation requires.
Ready for the ITV
Technical paperwork, a ficha reducida if needed and the inspection appointment.
Taxes taken care of
IVTM and registration tax, including review of possible relocation relief.
On to Spanish plates
DGT registration, number plates and coordination of your insurance.
See the 8 steps and your part in the process
Your situation and documents
We review vehicle details, identification, NIE and address documents. If you still need an NIE or municipal registration, we explain the preparation required.
Temporary plates if needed
We assess whether placas verdes are appropriate. They are usually valid for 60 days and may be extended under conditions. Documents and additional fees are discussed first. Driving requires valid registration, insurance and all other requirements.
Technical documentation
We check whether your COC is sufficient and arrange a ficha reducida through an authorised engineer if needed. Modifications may require further assessment. Our €3,500 homologation service is only for non-EU cars after review, never a standard EU import cost.
Spanish ITV inspection
We coordinate the appointment, preparation and how the car is presented. The station issues technical documents after approval. Modifications, retests and processing times are discussed with you.
Municipal road tax
We handle IVTM administration. The amount depends on your municipality and vehicle. Proof of payment or exemption is added to the file.
Registration tax
We arrange assessment and administration of the applicable tax. Relocation relief may apply under conditions, never automatically. We explain amounts and supporting evidence in advance.
Final registration
Once the file is complete, we submit the DGT application. Approval leads to registration, the registration certificate and plates. We keep you informed; processing also depends on the authorities.
Insurance and handover
Before driving, insurance must cover your final registration. Update any temporary-plate policy and check the cover start date. We explain the information needed.
Your part
Provide the requested information, sign an authorisation if needed, make the car available and pay the agreed costs.
Clear costs in advance
Your quote specifies included work and any taxes, inspections, documents or additional services charged separately.
