Importing a Car from Germany to Bunyola: Bilingual Sales Contract Template

Bringing a vehicle from Germany to Spain is a popular choice for residents in Mallorca, but the bureaucratic process can be daunting. To ensure your purchase is legally protected and recognized by the Spanish authorities, you must have a formal contract. This bilingual (Spanish/English) sales contract template is designed to bridge the language gap between German sellers and Spanish administration, ensuring all legal requirements are met for your registration in Bunyola.

Instructions on how and where to submit your paperwork in Bunyola

Once you have acquired the vehicle and signed the contract, you must complete the registration process in Spain. Since Bunyola falls under the jurisdiction of the Balearic Islands, follow these steps:

DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico): You must visit the Provincial Traffic Headquarters in Palma to process the "Matriculación" (registration) of your imported vehicle.
Tax Office (Agencia Tributaria): Before going to the DGT, you must pay the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) if applicable.
Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Bunyola): You will need to pay the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM) at the Bunyola Town Hall once the car is registered to obtain your local circulation permit.
ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos): Take the vehicle to an authorized ITV station in Mallorca to obtain the Spanish "Ficha Técnica," which converts your German "Zulassungsbescheinigung" data into the Spanish format.

Additional documentation required

To successfully register your German import in Bunyola, ensure you have the following documents ready alongside your signed contract:

Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I & II: The original German registration documents (both parts).
COC (Certificate of Conformity): Essential for the ITV station to verify technical specifications.
Proof of Identity: Your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
Proof of Residence: An "Empadronamiento" certificate from the Bunyola Town Hall (less than 3 months old).
Invoice or Contract: The bilingual template provided above, signed by both parties.

Expert Tip: Always verify that the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the car matches the number on the German registration documents exactly before finalizing the payment. Additionally, ensure the German seller provides a "Kaufvertrag" (German sales contract) if possible, but keep this bilingual version as your primary legal evidence for the Spanish authorities to avoid translation fees at the DGT.
