How to Register Your Foreign Vehicle in Benifaio: Download Your Official Template
If you have recently moved to Benifaio or purchased a vehicle abroad, you are legally required to register it with the Spanish authorities. This process, known as Matriculación de Vehículo, is essential to obtain your Spanish license plates and ensure your vehicle is compliant with local traffic laws. To simplify this bureaucratic hurdle, we have provided a ready-to-use template that you can present to the relevant offices to initiate your request.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Benifaio
To register your foreign vehicle, you must interact with the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). While the process is largely centralized, residents in Benifaio generally follow these steps:
- Step 1: Complete the official application form provided below.
- Step 2: Pay the corresponding traffic tax (tasas de tráfico) via the DGT website or at a collaborating bank.
- Step 3: Schedule an appointment (Cita Previa) at the nearest Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico in Valencia.
- Step 4: Present the printed and signed form along with your supporting documentation at your appointment.

Additional documentation required
Submitting the form alone is not enough. To successfully register your vehicle, you must bring the following documents to your appointment:
- Proof of Identity: Your original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documents: The original foreign registration certificate (Permiso de Circulación).
- Technical Documentation: The COC (Certificate of Conformity) or the "Ficha Técnica" issued by a Spanish ITV station after passing an inspection.
- Proof of Tax Payment: Receipt of payment of the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) paid to the Agencia Tributaria.
- Municipal Tax: Proof of payment of the "Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica" (IVTM) at the Benifaio Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).
Expert Tip: Bureaucracy in Spain can be time-consuming. We highly recommend ensuring your vehicle has passed the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) in Spain before your appointment, as the DGT will not process the registration without the Spanish technical card. If you are not fluent in Spanish administrative procedures, consider using a local gestoría in Benifaio to handle the paperwork on your behalf to avoid costly delays.
