No. If you are a Spanish resident, you are legally required to register your vehicle in Spain. You are typically allowed a grace period of 30 days after establishing residency. Driving a foreign-plated car as a resident beyond this period can result in fines and vehicle confiscation.
No. Since both Germany and Spain are EU member states, there is no customs duty on vehicles moving between them. However, you will still need to pay the Spanish registration tax (Impuesto de Matriculación) and complete the ITV inspection.
The franquicia por traslado de residencia is a tax exemption that allows new residents to import one personal vehicle duty-free. To qualify, you must have been a resident of a non-EU country (or the UK post-Brexit) for at least 12 months, and you must have owned and used the vehicle for at least 6 months before moving to Spain.
The ITV inspection itself typically takes 30–60 minutes. However, booking an appointment can take 1–2 weeks depending on demand in your area. The ITV station may issue a provisional certificate first, with the full certificate following after registration.
No. Vehicles with a valid European Certificate of Conformity do not generally require full homologation. Homologation is most commonly required for vehicles from the USA, Japan, or other non-EU markets, and for right-hand-drive vehicles that need technical modifications.
No. Under the current temporary protection framework, Ukrainians can drive their Ukrainian-registered cars in Spain for the duration of their temporary protection status. As of 2025, this has been extended to at least March 2026. However, if your protection status changes or expires, you will need to either formally import the car or export it from the EU. Driving a Ukrainian car in Spain without valid temporary prot
Normally, yes — a 6.5% customs duty applies to passenger cars imported from non-EU countries, plus 21% VAT on import. However, if you qualify for the franquicia de traslado de residencia exemption (12+ months of prior non-EU residence and 6+ months of vehicle ownership), you can be exempt from both customs duty and VAT on import, as well as from the IEDMT registration tax. This exemption can save thousands of euros a
The franquicia de traslado de residencia is a legal exemption for people transferring their permanent residence to Spain from outside the EU. For the vehicle component, apply using: (1) Modelo 05 filed with the Agencia Tributaria for the IEDMT exemption, and (2) a customs declaration under Reglamento CE 1186/2009 for customs duty and VAT exemption. Both must be filed before the vehicle is formally imported — you cann
Without a COC, you must pursue homologación individual — a full technical type-approval by an authorised Spanish certification body. Costs range from €600 to €3,000+. For older vehicles or those with non-EU specifications, homologación may not be possible if the vehicle cannot meet current EU emissions standards. Resolve this question before committing to the import process.
Yes — under the temporary protection framework, Ukrainians can drive using their Ukrainian licence in Spain for the duration of their protection status. However, there is no automatic exchange agreement between Ukraine and Spain, so if your status eventually changes to standard residence, you will need to pass the Spanish driving test. Keep your Ukrainian licence valid and carry it at all times.
