Instructions on how and where to submit it in Alquézar
This contract is a private agreement and does not need to be submitted to the local Alquézar Town Hall. However, it is the primary document you will need to trigger the official transfer of the vehicle at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). Follow these steps:
- Sign in duplicate: Both parties must sign every page of the contract.
- DGT Appointment: You must request an appointment at the DGT office in Huesca (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico).
- Tax Payment: Before going to the DGT, you must pay the "Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales" (ITP) at the tax office of the Government of Aragon (Modelo 620).
- Final Registry: Once the ITP is paid, submit the signed contract, your ID, and the proof of tax payment at the DGT to update the "Permiso de Circulación."

Additional documentation required
To finalize the process successfully, ensure you have the following documents ready alongside your signed contract:
- Original DNI or NIE: Both parties must provide original identification documents.

Expert Tip: Before signing, always check the "Informe del Vehículo" from the DGT. This report costs a small fee but will tell you if the car has any outstanding fines, liens, or "embargos" (seizures) that could prevent you from registering the vehicle in your name. Never hand over the money until you have verified the status of the vehicle at the DGT website or office.
