Importing a Car from Germany to Montanejos: Download Your Bilingual Purchase Contract

Importing a vehicle from Germany to Spain is a common dream for many residents in the Castellón province, but the bureaucratic transition requires precision. To ensure your vehicle registration in Montanejos goes smoothly, you need a legally sound purchase contract that satisfies both the German seller and the Spanish DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). This bilingual template is designed to bridge the language gap and provide all the necessary clauses for a valid transfer of ownership.

Instructions on how and where to submit your paperwork in Montanejos

Once you have signed the contract and brought the vehicle to Spain, you must initiate the registration process. While some procedures can be started online, you will likely need to visit the nearest DGT office in Castellón de la Plana or handle the technical inspection (ITV) at a station nearby. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Complete the bilingual contract provided below. Ensure both parties sign every page.
Step 2: Take the vehicle to an ITV station to obtain a "Ficha Técnica Española."
Step 3: Pay the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) at the Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria).
Step 4: Pay the "Impuesto de Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM) at the Montanejos Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).
Step 5: Present all documentation to the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico to receive your Spanish license plates.

Additional documentation required

Beyond the contract, the Spanish authorities will require a specific set of documents to approve your import. Ensure you have the following ready:

Original German Registration Documents: Both parts of the "Zulassungsbescheinigung" (Teil I and Teil II).
Proof of Identity: Your DNI or NIE and passport.
Certificate of Conformity (COC): Essential for the ITV station to verify technical specifications.
Proof of Payment: Bank transfer receipts or proof of payment for the vehicle.
Model 620/621: The ITP (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales) form, which proves you have paid the transfer tax in your autonomous community.

Expert Tip: Always verify that the VIN (chassis number) on the physical vehicle matches exactly what is written on the German registration documents before finalizing the payment in Germany. In Montanejos, local tax offices appreciate when all paperwork is neatly organized in a folder; having a professional gestor review your file before your appointment at the DGT can save you weeks of administrative delays.
