Once you have purchased the vehicle and signed the contract, you must initiate the registration process in Spain. Since Apeadero de Bechi falls under the jurisdiction of the Castellón provincial traffic office, follow these steps:

- Step 3: Pay the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) at the Agencia Tributaria.
- Step 4: Pay the "Impuesto de Circulación" (IVTM) at the local town hall (Ayuntamiento) covering Apeadero de Bechi.

Additional documentation required
Beyond the purchase contract, your application in the Castellón area will be rejected without the following mandatory documents:
- Original German Registration Documents: The "Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and Teil II". These are non-negotiable.
- COC (Certificate of Conformity): This document confirms the vehicle meets EU technical standards. If missing, you will need a "Ficha Reducida" issued by an engineer.
- ITV Card: You must take the vehicle to an ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station near Apeadero de Bechi to obtain the Spanish technical sheet.
- Proof of Identity: Your NIE or DNI and proof of residence.
Expert Tip: Always verify the vehicle's history using the German "Carfax" equivalent or the vehicle's VIN before finalizing the payment. When dealing with imports, ensure the VAT status is clear; if the vehicle is "used" (more than 6 months old and over 6,000 km), you avoid paying Spanish VAT, but you must prove this via the contract and odometer reading. Keep all documents in a dedicated folder, as you will need them for the ITV and the DGT appointments.
