Registration, ITV import tests, DGT paperwork, Spanish plates and insurance, handled by one experienced team.
Vehicle Registration, ITV, DGT Paperwork and Insurance Services in Spain
At Car Registrations Spain, we are best known for helping customers import and register foreign vehicles onto Spanish number plates, but our services go much further than that.
Whether you are moving to Spain, buying or selling a vehicle, dealing with Spanish paperwork, arranging an ITV test, or looking for competitive insurance, our team is here to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
More Than Vehicle Registration
Importing a vehicle into Spain is often only one part of the process. Many customers also need help with paperwork, technical inspections, number plates, ownership changes, environmental stickers, insurance or resolving issues with a vehicle’s Spanish records.
Our team deals with these processes every day, helping customers avoid delays, confusion and unnecessary stress.
A Complete Service Under One Roof
We bring together vehicle registration, ITV support, technical paperwork, DGT procedures and in-house insurance services, so customers can deal with one experienced team from start to finish.
Our aim is always to provide clear advice, practical solutions and a service that keeps you legally on the road in Spain.
Vehicle Import and Registration Services
These are the services we are best known for. If you have a UK, EU or other foreign registered vehicle in Spain, we can help you through the process of changing it onto Spanish plates correctly and efficiently.
Vehicle Import & Registration
We manage the process of importing and registering foreign vehicles onto Spanish number plates, including paperwork, tax declarations, ITV coordination and final registration with Tráfico.
Learn moreTemporary Import Plates
Green plates can help keep a vehicle legally on the road in Spain while the permanent registration process is underway, particularly where the foreign registration is no longer suitable or valid.
Learn moreNew Spanish Number Plates
We are a DGT-licensed number plate maker and can supply Spanish number plates once a vehicle has been registered, transferred or where replacement plates are needed.
Learn moreHistoric Vehicle Registration
We assist with historic and classic vehicle registration in Spain, helping owners of collector vehicles understand the requirements, advantages and documentation involved.

Technical, ITV and Homologation Services
Many imported vehicles need technical checks or additional paperwork before they can be registered in Spain. This is especially common with UK vehicles, modified vehicles, non-EU imports, commercial vehicles, motorhomes and classic vehicles.
ITV Import Tests
We help prepare and present vehicles for the ITV import test, where the vehicle is checked for roadworthiness, identity, technical specification and compliance with Spanish registration requirements.
Learn moreHeadlight Realignment
UK right-hand-drive vehicles often need their headlights checked or adapted before passing the ITV. We can assess whether your headlights can be adjusted, converted or need replacing.
Learn moreIndividual Homologation
Vehicles from outside the EU, or vehicles without suitable European approval, may need individual homologation before they can be registered in Spain. We can guide you through the requirements.
Engineer Projects
If a vehicle has modifications, conversions or technical reforms, an engineer project may be required to legalise those changes and ensure the vehicle can be accepted by the ITV station.
Why Technical Checks Matter
A vehicle can be mechanically sound but still fail an ITV import test because of paperwork issues, lighting problems, non-standard wheels, undocumented modifications or missing technical data.
Checking these details before the test can save time, money and repeat visits to the ITV station.
Supporting the Registration File
The ITV test, technical documents, tax declarations and DGT registration process all need to work together. If one part is incorrect, the whole registration process can be delayed.
Our team helps coordinate these steps so the file is handled correctly from the beginning.
Vehicle Paperwork and DGT Services
We also help customers with a wide range of Spanish vehicle administration services, including ownership changes, vehicle reports, de-registration, replacement documents and environmental stickers.
Pre-Purchase Vehicle Searches
Before buying a Spanish registered vehicle, we can obtain and review a DGT vehicle report to check for potential issues such as finance, embargoes, unpaid road tax or transfer restrictions.
Changes of Ownership
We handle vehicle ownership transfers in Spain, helping buyers and sellers complete the legal transfer process correctly and with peace of mind.
Learn moreVehicle De-Registration
If a Spanish registered vehicle is leaving Spain permanently, we can help with the official de-registration process so the vehicle is correctly removed from Spanish records.
Learn moreVehicle Re-Registration
Where a vehicle was previously registered in Spain but has since been de-registered, we can advise on the process of restoring or rehabilitating it back onto Spanish records.
Environmental Stickers
We can help obtain Spanish environmental stickers, also known as distintivos ambientales, which are increasingly important for driving in low-emission zones across Spain.
Learn moreReplacement Paperwork
If Spanish vehicle documents have been lost, damaged or need updating, we can advise on the correct procedure and assist with replacement paperwork where possible.
Customs Clearance and Import Duties
Some vehicles require customs clearance, import duty or VAT consideration before they can be registered in Spain. This is particularly relevant for vehicles arriving from outside the EU, including many UK vehicles after Brexit.
Customs Advice
We can help identify whether customs paperwork may be needed and guide you on the type of documentation that is normally required.
Import Support
Where customs clearance or import taxes are required, we can help coordinate the process as part of the wider vehicle registration file.
Insurance Services in Spain
We are also licensed insurance agents and have a dedicated in-house insurance team through CRS Insure, providing competitive insurance options for expats and Spanish nationals.
Whether you need insurance for a newly imported vehicle, a Spanish registered car, your home, health cover or other policies, our team can help you find practical cover at competitive prices.
Car & Motorcycle Insurance
We can arrange motor insurance for cars, motorcycles and many imported vehicles, including cover for customers going through the Spanish registration process.
Learn moreHome Insurance
Protect your property in Spain with home insurance options for main residences, holiday homes, rental properties and contents cover.

We can also assist with a wider range of insurance products, including pet insurance, life cover and business insurance.
