Instructions on how and where to submit it in Fonteculler
To officially register your foreign vehicle while residing in or near Fonteculler (A Coruña), you need to present your application to the Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT - Dirección General de Tráfico). Since Fonteculler is located in the province of A Coruña, your primary point of administrative contact is the Provincial Traffic Headquarters in A Coruña (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de A Coruña). Alternatively, you can submit your documentation electronically through the official DGT Electronic Office (Sede Electrónica de la DGT) using a digital certificate or Cl@ve. If you prefer in-person processing, you must request an appointment (cita previa) online beforehand. Ensure all taxes are paid locally before submitting your paperwork.

- Proof of Identity: Valid DNI, NIE, or passport of the vehicle owner.
- Proof of Residence: Empadronamiento certificate proving your address in the Fonteculler/Oleiros area.
- Vehicle Technical Sheet: Spanish ITV (Technical Vehicle Inspection) card obtained after passing a homologation or import inspection at an authorized ITV station.

Expert tip: Keep in mind that driving a foreign-plated vehicle in Spain is generally only permitted for up to 30 days after importing it for residents, or up to 6 months for non-residents. Start your ITV and tax processes well in advance to avoid hefty fines or vehicle immobilization by local authorities in Fonteculler.
