How to Register an Imported German Vehicle in Aoiz/Agoitz: Downloadable Bilingual Sales Contract
Importing a vehicle from Germany to Spain is a bureaucratic process that requires precision, especially regarding the documentation presented to the Spanish authorities. To ensure your purchase is legally binding and recognized by the Spanish DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) and local tax offices, you must have a clear, enforceable sales contract. This article provides a bilingual (Spanish/English) sales contract template tailored for private vehicle purchases, ensuring you have the necessary proof of ownership to complete your registration in Aoiz/Agoitz.
Instructions on how and where to submit your documentation in Aoiz/Agoitz
Once you have purchased your vehicle in Germany and brought it to Navarra, you must initiate the registration process. While some steps can be done online, you will likely need to visit the local tax office (Hacienda Foral de Navarra) or the DGT traffic headquarters in Pamplona (the reference office for the Aoiz area) to finalize the paperwork.
- Step 1: Complete the bilingual contract provided below, ensuring both the buyer and seller sign every page.
- Step 2: Translate your German "Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I & II" into Spanish if required by the local office.
- Step 3: Visit the local tax office to pay the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Registration Tax) and the "Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales" (ITP).
- Step 4: Present the signed contract and tax receipts to the DGT to obtain your new Spanish license plates.

Additional documentation required
To successfully register your German vehicle in Aoiz/Agoitz, the contract alone is not sufficient. You must also compile the following documents:
- Original German Registration Documents: Both Part I (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I) and Part II (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II).
- Technical Inspection (ITV): You must take the vehicle to an ITV station in Navarra to obtain the "Ficha Técnica" (Spanish technical card).
- Proof of Identity: A valid Passport or Spanish NIE/DNI.
- Tax Proof: Receipt of payment for the "Impuesto de Circulación" (IVTM) at the Aoiz Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).
Expert Tip: Always ensure the VIN (Bastidor) on the German registration documents matches exactly what is engraved on the car chassis. Discrepancies here are the number one cause for rejection at the DGT. Additionally, keep a digital scan of the bilingual contract, as it serves as your primary evidence of the transaction date for tax purposes. If you are unsure about the specific tax requirements in Navarra, consult with a local "Gestoría" in Aoiz, as they specialize in navigating the regional tax laws of the Foral Community.
