How to Import a Vehicle from Germany to Nonaspe: Download Your Bilingual Purchase Contract
Importing a car from Germany to Spain is a popular way to acquire high-quality vehicles, but it requires precise documentation to ensure a smooth registration process at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). If you are moving to or living in Nonaspe, you must ensure your private purchase contract is clear and legally binding in both jurisdictions. This bilingual template is designed to bridge the language gap between German sellers and Spanish authorities, ensuring all essential data is captured correctly.
Instructions on how and where to submit your documentation in Nonaspe
Once you have imported the vehicle to Nonaspe, you cannot simply drive it with foreign plates indefinitely. You must initiate the "Matriculación" process. Here is how to proceed:
- Step 1: Complete the bilingual purchase contract provided below. Ensure both parties sign every page.
- Step 2: Visit the nearest Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico (Zaragoza is the relevant office for Nonaspe).
- Step 3: You will need to pay the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) at the Agencia Tributaria and the "Impuesto de Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM) at the Nonaspe Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).
- Step 4: Present the original contract, the German vehicle registration documents (Teil I and Teil II), and the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) card to the DGT office.

Additional documentation required
To successfully register your imported vehicle, the contract alone is not enough. You must also provide:
- Original German Registration Documents: Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and Teil II. Do not lose these, as they are essential for the ITV inspection.
- Technical Inspection (ITV): You must take the vehicle to an ITV station in the province of Zaragoza to obtain a Spanish technical card.
- Proof of Identity: Your NIE or DNI and proof of residence (Empadronamiento) in Nonaspe.
- Model 576: Proof of payment of the Special Tax on Certain Means of Transport.
Expert Tip: Always verify that the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the car matches the number on the German registration documents exactly before signing the contract. If there is a discrepancy, the DGT will reject your application. Furthermore, ensure the seller provides a "Certificate of Conformity" (COC) if available; it will significantly speed up your ITV appointment in Spain.
