Two men handing over the keys to a dark car in front of a Spanish coastal town; the one on the right is holding the sale paperwork in his other hand.

Change of ownership

Change the registered keeper of a vehicle already registered in Spain.

What we do

  • We check the vehicle carries no charges or debts before starting.
  • We check the contract and the paperwork from both sides.
  • We file the transfer and pay the DGT fee on your behalf.
  • We tell you once the change of keeper is on the register.

Can you start yet?

We have not yet established what has to be in place before this trámite. We will confirm it with the gestoría along with the document list.

What it costs

€79.00

Our fee · VAT included

+ €56.70 in official duties

DGT transfer fee.

Total to pay: €135.70

The duties are not ours: they are paid to the administration and they are the same whoever files the paperwork.

Which documents you need

Not yet confirmed with the gestoría. This is what the procedure usually asks for, and it has not been checked with the people who file it. Treat it as a guide, not a definitive list.

  • Buyer ID

    Both sides, legible and without glare.

  • Seller ID

    Both sides, legible and without glare.

  • Registration document

    The sheet showing the current registered keeper.

  • Technical sheet

    With a valid ITV stamped on it.

  • Sale contract

    Signed by both parties, with the price and the date.

Depending on your case

  • Valid ITV certificate

    Only if the technical sheet is not stamped.

How long it takes: Usually 5–15 working days, though it varies with the administration.

We do not handle this yet

We are finalising the agreement with the gestoría. What is on this page is accurate and useful for getting your papers ready. You can register your case now: nothing is charged and we ask for no documents until the procedure is open.

You get a reference and a page where you can see where it stands. We are not asking you for any document yet: this case is not open and the list is not confirmed with the gestoría that files it. When it is, we write to you with the definitive list and you upload everything in one go.

Open the case

Before any paperwork it is worth knowing what the registry says about the vehicle: mileage, commercial use and charges.
