Additional documentation required

To ensure your application is processed without delays by the Spanish traffic authorities, you must attach several mandatory documents alongside the template above. First, you will need proof of identity (DNI, NIE, or valid passport). For the vehicle itself, provide the original foreign registration certificate (both parts if applicable) and the European Certificate of Conformity (COC), or a technical sheet issued by an ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station after passing the mandatory import inspection. Furthermore, you must prove legal entry and tax compliance by presenting proof of payment or exemption for the Special Tax on Certain Means of Transport (Modelo 576 or 06/05 from the Agencia Tributaria), proof of payment of the local circulation tax (IVTM) at your local town hall (Ayuntamiento), and an invoice or purchase contract if the vehicle was recently acquired.

As an expert tip for residents in Can Torrent-Alta Maresma-Can Gelat, remember that you have a strict legal window of 30 days from the moment the vehicle is imported or your residence is established to complete this registration process. Driving with foreign plates beyond this period without initiating paperwork can lead to hefty fines and potential vehicle immobilization by local police forces. Always double-check that your compulsory insurance (Seguro de Obligatoria Suscripción) is updated to the new Spanish chassis or registration number as soon as it is assigned.
