Download Free Bilingual Purchase Contract for Imported Cars from Germany in Bedmar (Word/PDF)
If you are planning to buy a vehicle in Germany and register it in Spain, specifically in the municipality of Bedmar, having the right paperwork from the very beginning is crucial. A bilingual purchase contract (Contrato de Compraventa Bilingüe) written in both Spanish and German is an essential legal instrument designed for cross-border private vehicle transactions. It protects both the buyer and the seller by clearly establishing the vehicle's specs, the agreed purchase price, and the legal terms in both languages, preventing future misunderstandings and ensuring a smooth clearance at Spanish administrative offices.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Bedmar
Once you bring your imported vehicle to Bedmar, you will need to present your purchase contract along with other importation documents to complete the registration and tax processes. While the contract itself is a private agreement between you and the German seller, it must be submitted to:
- Ayuntamiento de Bedmar y Garcíez: To pay the local Circulation Tax (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - IVTM). You will need to provide the contract to calculate or prove ownership details if requested by the local tax office.
- Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico (DGT): For the definitive registration of the vehicle and issuing Spanish license plates.
- Agencia Tributaria (AEAT): To settle the Matriculation Tax (Impuesto de Matriculación - Modelo 565/576) and VAT obligations (Modelo 309 or 300 if applicable), where the purchase contract serves as the primary proof of value.

Additional documentation required
To successfully register your vehicle imported from Germany and legally drive it around Bedmar and the rest of Spain, the purchase contract must be accompanied by a comprehensive file of documents. Make sure you gather:
- German Vehicle Registration Documents: Part I (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I) and Part II (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II).
- Certificate of Conformity (COC): Essential for European homologation.
- Ficha Técnica Española: Issued after passing the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) for imported vehicles.
- Proof of Tax Payment: Local IVTM payment receipt from the Ayuntamiento de Bedmar, and state tax clearance (AEAT).
- Identity Document: Valid Spanish DNI, NIE, or Passport of the buyer.
Expert Tip: Always ensure the purchase contract clearly states the exact date and time the vehicle was handed over. This is vital in Spain to correctly attribute any traffic fines or municipal infractions that might arrive during the transition period before the vehicle is officially registered under your name in the DGT database. If the contract is entirely in German, Spanish authorities may occasionally require a sworn translation (traducción jurada), which is why using this bilingual template from the start saves you time and money.
