Instructions on how and where to submit it in Garrovilla (La)

While a private purchase contract is not submitted directly to the local town hall, it is the foundational document required for all subsequent administrative steps to register your German import in Spain. Once you have signed the contract with the German seller, you must complete the following steps from Garrovilla (La):

• ITV (Technical Vehicle Inspection): Take the vehicle to an authorized ITV station (the nearest stations to Garrovilla (La) are located in Mérida or Badajoz) to obtain the Spanish ITV card, presenting the German registration documents (Fahrzeugbrief and Fahrzeugschein) alongside your bilingual purchase contract.
• Municipal Tax (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - IVTM): Pay the local vehicle tax at the Ayuntamiento of Garrovilla (La). The purchase contract helps prove the acquisition date and vehicle specifications if requested.
• DGT Traffic Office: Finally, submit the complete dossier—including your stamped contract, foreign papers, ITV sheet, proof of tax payment, and ID—to the Provincial Traffic Headquarters in Badajoz to obtain your definitive Spanish license plates.

Additional documentation required

To successfully finalize the importation and registration process in Spain alongside your bilingual contract, ensure you gather the following mandatory documents:

• The original German registration documents: Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I (Vehicle Registration Certificate Part I) and Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II (Vehicle Registration Certificate Part II).
• The Certificate of Conformity (COC) issued by the vehicle manufacturer, which facilitates the Spanish ITV inspection.
• Proof of payment or exemption for the Special Registration Tax (Impuesto de Matriculación - Models 565/576 via the Agencia Tributaria).
• Proof of payment of the local IVTM at the Ayuntamiento of Garrovilla (La).
• Valid identification (DNI/NIE or passport) of the buyer.

As an expert traffic consultant, my top tip is to ensure the German purchase invoice or contract explicitly states the VAT status of the vehicle (whether it is sold under the margin scheme "Differenzbesteuerung" or with deductible VAT) to avoid unexpected tax surprises with the Spanish tax office (Hacienda). Always verify the VIN on the physical car matches the paperwork before handing over any funds.
