Importing a vehicle from Germany to Spain is a popular way to secure a high-quality car, but closing the deal requires precise paperwork. To ensure legal protection and smooth registration at the local level, you need a legally sound, bilingual contract. This article provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the process in Abarán, along with a ready-to-copy bilingual purchase contract template designed specifically for cross-border transactions within the EU.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Abarán

Once you bring your imported German vehicle to Abarán, you cannot simply drive it with foreign plates indefinitely. To legalize your car and get Spanish registration plates, you must present your purchase contract alongside other essential documents to the relevant local and national authorities. Here is your step-by-step action plan in Abarán:

• ITV (Technical Vehicle Inspection): Before registering the car, you must pass a compulsory ITV inspection for imported vehicles at the nearest station to Abarán to obtain your Spanish ITV card.
• Ayuntamiento de Abarán (Local Tax): You must pay the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - Road Tax) at the local town hall (Ayuntamiento). Your bilingual purchase contract will be required to prove ownership and vehicle specifications.
• Agencia Tributaria (AEAT): You must settle the Impuesto de Matriculación (Mod. 576) and prove payment or exemption of IVA/ITP (Mod. 620 or 600) using the purchase contract.
• Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico (DGT): Finally, submit the complete dossier (including the contract, ITV card, tax proofs, and German registration documents) to the DGT (either online via their electronic headquarters or through an authorized gestor in the Region of Murcia) to obtain your definitive Spanish license plates.

Additional documentation required

To successfully register your imported vehicle in Abarán alongside your bilingual contract, ensure you collect the following paperwork from the German seller and the Spanish authorities:

• German Registration Documents: Both the *Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I* (Registration Certificate Part I / Fahrzeugschein) and *Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II* (Registration Certificate Part II / Fahrzeugbrief).
• Certificate of Conformity (COC): Essential for the Spanish ITV to verify European type-approval standards.
• Export/Transit License Plates: If you are driving the car to Abarán yourself, you will need temporary export plates (*Ausfuhrkennzeichen* or *Kurzzeitkennzeichen*) and corresponding insurance.
• Identification: A valid DNI or NIE and proof of address (*certificado de empadronamiento*) in Abarán.

Expert Tip: Always ensure the purchase contract reflects the exact final price paid in Euros and includes the vehicle's exact VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Spanish tax authorities (Agencia Tributaria) and the DGT are very strict regarding discrepancies in import paperwork. Using a clear, bilingual German-Spanish contract prevents misunderstandings with the German seller and speeds up bureaucratic procedures at the Abarán town hall and the Murcia traffic headquarters.
