What our clients say

★★★★★

“I registered in Spain a car I imported from Germany. They were very fast (I had my plates in under 4 days) and from the very start they told me online exactly what everything would cost. They even refunded part of the deposit, because they managed to lower the local road tax. Highly recommended.”

Volodymir B. · Google review, translated from Spanish · October 2026

★★★★★

“We imported a vehicle from Germany and they handled the Spanish registration quickly and to our complete satisfaction. I will use their services again for any other paperwork I need in the future.”

Anabel A. · Google review, translated from Spanish · September 2026

★★★★★

“I urgently needed to register an imported motorbike and an imported car, and it could not have been quicker, more efficient or simpler. They explained the process from the very first moment and were really friendly. 100% recommended!”

Timeframes, green plates and delivery

  • Green temporary plates: in 3 days at most. They only allow you to drive in Spain while registration is completed, and always with short-term (per-day) insurance, which we can also arrange for you.
  • They are not always needed. It depends on the documents, the plates the vehicle arrives with and the type of sale. When you send us the documents, we tell you whether you need them.
  • Permanent registration: 3–5 working days from when we receive the original documents at our office. The DGT usually issues the temporary authorisation quickly, but takes longer to issue the permanent registration certificate.
  • Delivery: we send you the plates and the permanent registration certificate together, in a single courier delivery. If you need the plates sooner, ask us and we can arrange an earlier delivery with the temporary authorisation.

Issues that can come up during registration

They are not common, but it is worth knowing about them before you start:

  • Tax Agency check. The Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT) may review the import before authorising registration. Checks are random, but more likely with high-value vehicles. They usually ask for the invoice and the bank transfer receipt for the payment to the seller, and for proof of how the vehicle was brought to Spain: the CMR if a transport company moved it, or tickets, fuel receipts and tolls if you drove it yourself. If it happens, we guide you through the whole process and prepare and submit the documentation for you.
  • Vehicles without a COC. If you do not have one, we obtain it through our partner engineer, without you having to travel. Some vehicles, especially older ones, cannot obtain it and therefore cannot be registered in Spain. That is why we confirm feasibility from your documents before starting any procedure.
  • Later modifications. The vehicle must not have any modification made after the date of its COC or documents: if it does, those documents are no longer valid.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to travel to Silla?

No. The whole process is done remotely: you send us copies for the quote and, once you accept it, we collect the originals by courier from the address you give us.

How long does registration take?

Green temporary plates in 3 days at most, and permanent plates in 3–5 working days from when we receive the original documents at our office, as long as there are no delays at the DGT. The timing of the permanent plates mainly depends on the local road tax (IVTM) and how the town hall where the car is registered handles it.

How much does it cost to register an imported vehicle?

It depends on the vehicle, the country of origin and the reason for registering it. We send you a fixed, itemised quote within 24 working hours.

Does my vehicle need homologation?

It depends on the vehicle and its documents. We check this when we study your case and, if needed, put you in touch with our partner engineer.

What documents do I need?

They vary by country and by the reason for registration. We give you the exact list with your quote.

Do you also register motorbikes, vans, motorhomes and commercial vehicles?

Yes. We register all types of vehicles: cars, motorbikes, vans, motorhomes and commercial vehicles. The documents are very similar and, if anything differs, we will tell you with the quote.

Does it take longer if the car is registered in the Basque Country?

Yes. The regional tax offices there usually ask for the original documents to settle the taxes, so it takes longer and the cost changes. We will show it in your quote.
