Buying or selling a vehicle between private individuals in Spain requires a formal document to protect both the buyer and the seller. This bilingual "Contrato de Compraventa de Vehículo" (Vehicle Purchase Agreement) ensures that all terms, including the vehicle's condition and the transfer of liability, are legally documented. Whether you are in La Lastrilla or elsewhere in the province of Segovia, this template will help you formalize the transaction securely.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in La Lastrilla (La)

Once both parties have signed the contract, you do not "submit" the contract to the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) itself, but you must use it as the legal basis for the transfer of ownership (Cambio de Titularidad). In the area of La Lastrilla, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Sign two copies of the bilingual contract provided below.
• Step 2: Pay the "Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales" (ITP) at the Junta de Castilla y León tax office. You can often do this online via the regional tax authority’s website using your digital certificate.
• Step 3: Schedule an appointment at the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Segovia.
• Step 4: Present the signed contract and proof of tax payment to officially change the vehicle's registration into the buyer's name.

Additional documentation required

To complete the process successfully in the Segovia area, you will need to gather the following documents alongside your signed contract:

• Permiso de Circulación: The original vehicle registration document.
• ITV Card: The "Ficha Técnica" showing the vehicle has passed its technical inspection.
• Receipt of ITP Payment: Proof that the Transfer Tax (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales) has been paid to the Junta de Castilla y León.
• Identification: Original DNI, NIE, or Passport of both the buyer and the seller.

Expert Tip: Always verify that the vehicle has no outstanding "embargos" (liens) or "precintos" (seizures) before handing over any money. You can request a "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT website for a small fee. This report will reveal if the car has any legal issues that would prevent it from being transferred. Additionally, ensure the seller has paid the annual municipal road tax (IVTM) for the previous year, as this is a common point of contention in private sales.
