If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or need to move an unregistered car within Spain, you will likely need "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates).

This guide provides a clear explanation of the process and a ready-to-use template to request these plates if you are based in or near Trigueros.

Additional documentation required
Submitting the request form is only one part of the process. To ensure your application is approved by the DGT in Huelva, you must bring the following documents with you:
- Proof of Identity: Original DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Vehicle Documentation: Original technical documentation from the country of origin (e.g., the foreign registration certificate).
- Proof of Purchase: The original purchase invoice or bill of sale (contract) proving you are the owner.
- Tasa Payment: Proof of payment of the DGT fee (Tasa 1.1).
- Insurance: Evidence that you have temporary insurance coverage for the vehicle.
Expert Tip: Always double-check that your foreign documentation is either in Spanish or accompanied by an official sworn translation ("traducción jurada"). If you are buying a vehicle from a private seller, ensure the contract clearly states the VIN number to avoid delays at the Huelva office. If you find the bureaucracy overwhelming, many local "gestorías" in Huelva can handle this entire process on your behalf for a small service fee.
