Topic: Car Registration
User: Abi Jones (view profile)3 Jun 2009 - 22:58
Hi

I am moving to Spain and intend to drive there.

If anyone has any info about registering my car, it would be much appreciated.

eg. Do I need to keep my british car tax on until its been registered?
How much time do I have?
How do I do it?  etc
Thanks for reading.

Andy

There's a good article about it here http://www.platinumvillarentals.com/pages/EN/contentPage.asp?QN=113

NB I think you have to be registered on the padron anywhere, not just in Orihuela Costa.

Re British car tax: you are supposed to keep it up yes, as your insurance will be invalid without it

You will need to apply for the "ficha técnica" in Spain, thereafter pass the ITV (MOT), thereafter pay the relevant taxes (ITVM and impuesto de transmisiones) and apply for registration of the vehicle in the Jefatura de Tráfico wherever you are located in Spain.
