Additional Documentation Required

While this private contract secures your reservation, you will need the following documents to legally transfer the vehicle ownership in Spain later:

• The original "Permiso de Circulación" (Vehicle Registration Certificate).
• The "Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica" (ITV card) with the stamp showing the vehicle has passed the roadworthiness test.
• Proof of payment of the "Impuesto de Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM) for the previous year, which is managed by the local municipality.
• A copy of the identity documents (DNI/NIE) of both parties.
• A formal "Contrato de Compraventa" (Sales Contract) for the final transfer of ownership.

Expert Tip: Never pay the full amount for a vehicle until you have verified the car's status via a "Informe de Vehículo" from the DGT. This report costs a small fee and will confirm if the car has any outstanding liens, seizures, or unpaid fines (embargos) that could prevent you from registering the vehicle in your name. Always conduct your business in a transparent manner and keep digital copies of all signed documents.
