How to Legally Import a Car from Germany to Pastoriza: Download Your Bilingual Purchase Contract

Importing a vehicle from Germany to Pastoriza is a popular way to acquire high-quality cars at competitive prices, but the Spanish bureaucracy can be daunting. To ensure your purchase is legally recognized by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) and the local tax authorities, you must have a formal purchase contract. This bilingual template is designed to bridge the language gap between German sellers and Spanish administration, ensuring all legal requirements are met for a smooth registration process in Galicia.

Instructions on how and where to submit your documentation in Pastoriza

Once you have purchased the vehicle and signed the contract, you must finalize the registration process. In the vicinity of Pastoriza, you should follow these steps:

• Tax Payment: You must first pay the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) via the Agencia Tributaria website and the "Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales" at the ATRIGA (Agencia Tributaria de Galicia) office.
• DGT Appointment: You must book an appointment at the "Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de A Coruña" (which serves the Pastoriza area).
• Submission: Present the original bilingual contract, the German vehicle registration documents (Teil I and Teil II), and the ITV (Technical Inspection) card obtained in Spain.

Additional documentation required

To successfully register your imported vehicle, the bilingual contract is only the first step. You will also need to provide the following to the traffic authorities:

• Original German Registration Documents: The "Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and Teil II" are mandatory.
• Certificate of Conformity (COC): This document proves the vehicle meets EU safety and environmental standards.
• ITV Card: You must take the car to an ITV station (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) in the A Coruña province to verify the vehicle's technical specifications for Spanish roads.
• Proof of Identity: Your DNI or NIE (Foreigner Identity Number) must be valid and up to date.

Expert Tip: Always ensure the VIN (Bastidor) on the physical car matches exactly the number written on the German documents and your contract. Any discrepancy, even a single digit, will cause the DGT to reject your registration application. If the vehicle is older than four years, ensure you have the most recent German "TÜV" report, as it may help during the Spanish ITV inspection process.
