Instructions on how and where to submit it in Serranillos Del Valle

Once you have purchased the vehicle in Germany and brought it to Serranillos Del Valle, Spain, this contract will be one of the foundational documents required to register the vehicle and obtain your Spanish license plates. Here is the step-by-step process for handling the bureaucracy:

• ITV (Technical Vehicle Inspection): Before registering the car, you must take it to an authorized ITV station to pass a homologation and import inspection. You will need this purchase contract, the original German registration documents (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I und Teil II), and the Certificate of Conformity (COC).
• Ayuntamiento de Serranillos Del Valle: You must pay the IVTM (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica - municipal road tax) at the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) of Serranillos Del Valle. Bring your ID, the ITV card, and this purchase contract to calculate and pay the corresponding tax rate based on the vehicle's horsepower (caballos fiscales).
• Agencia Tributaria (AEAT): Settle the Impuesto de Matriculación (Mod. 576) if applicable, and prove payment or exemption of the Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP) using this contract if bought from a private individual.
• Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico (DGT): Finally, submit the complete dossier—including this bilingual contract, tax receipts, ITV card, and your DGT application form—to the Traffic Headquarters to finalize the Spanish registration and get your plates.

Additional documentation required

To successfully process your import vehicle in Serranillos Del Valle alongside this bilingual contract, you must ensure you collect the following crucial paperwork from the German seller:

• Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and Teil II: These are the official German registration documents (equivalent to the Spanish Permiso de Circulación and Ficha Técnica). Part II is vital as it proves ownership.
• Certificate of Conformity (COC): Issued by the manufacturer, this document certifies that the vehicle complies with European type-approval standards, making the ITV process in Spain much faster and cheaper.
• Valid ID or Passport Copies: Keep a clear photocopy of the seller's identification document to attach to your DGT and tax agency filings.
• Service and Maintenance History: While not legally mandatory for registration, having the stamped service book or invoices will help verify the mileage and condition of the imported vehicle.

Expert Tip: Always ensure the purchase contract states the exact final price paid and the date of delivery. If you are importing the vehicle yourself, remember you only have 30 days from the moment the vehicle enters Spain (or from the date of the transport invoice) to complete the tax obligations and final registration at the DGT to avoid penalties.
